    It only affects the stuff I listed such as electronic devices *hbs/puav* etc. There is nothing that really affects your ability to kill another player though, which is why I can't figure the hostility towards it. If you see people are getting emps switch to a class that has assassin. If you can't survive without killstreaks/air support I feel sorry for you.

    It is a powerful killstreak that even counters itself. You can't stop someone who is running it since Support doesn't reset.

     

    I find it too easy, though I run it on plenty of classes since it can help stop the radar whores.

    It should be powerful, it is there to help a team if they are being dominated by killstreaks. To at least give them a reprieve and a fighting chance to come back. Not sure how much higher up in points people want it to be, seems at a good spot to me.

    You also got to add in that playing in hectic games like DOM, a player can have a EMP in no time. Flag caps, kills, and if he has Hardline Pro, assists.

     

    It is nothing wrong with what it does, it is how fast it is to reach to and how simple it is to earn it.

    In a game like dom people also killwhore horribly too, spawn trapping and whatnot. So it's not hard to build up any killstreak. Do you think it's fair for one team to be obliterated by air support and whatnot?

    I think the EMP and BOMBERS is fine.....Getting sick of these playerss lying on ground waiting for someone to come round a corner or through a door way just to boost there assualt  kill streak anyone can camp to get assualt kill streaks....I Get great pleasure stopping someones camped pavelow or AC130.......EMP down it comes.....You need to use your killstreaks at the correct time....Stop WHINNING.....

    Re: Why are Stealth Bombers and EMPs spammed?

    problem is that the crappy players can get it. i've gotten emp'd with my friends 8x in a single match. same goes w/ stealth bombers. i h8 getting killed with my specialist package on going for a moab, and bam, a couple bombers come in.

    Re: Why are Stealth Bombers and EMPs spammed?

    If you got emp'd 8x in one match then you and your friends weren't doing a very good job. If you are killwhoring with specialist trying for a moab in an objective game and die that's too bad. Also, it's not hard to avoid the stealth bombers if you are observant enough, or be like me and stay away from the rest of your team :-)

    Re: Why are Stealth Bombers and EMPs spammed?

    No sh*t I shouldn't have been kill whoring. That wasn't the point of my story at all.

     

    I said the EMP was extremely powerful and was a game changer. Was the EMP not a game changer in the scenario I stated? Pretty sure it was, which was my point.

     

    The OP asked why the EMP was spammed, and that was my answer. The story was simply an anecdote that I felt demonstrated my point. Morons

    The game changer was you deciding not to collect the tags, loss of air support did not "change the game", just your ability to kill whore.
