How to counter:

- Blind eye (Pro or not)

- Stinger to take it down

- Bullets to take it down (Blind Eye pro more helpful here)

- SAM turret

Or my personal favourite... Run away

It doesn't need to be nerfed, it does exactly what it's suppose to and as a high-ish KS, it's perfectly fine IMO. I rarely see people use it but it's not exactly hard to counter.

Are you for real? God, is this what this game has come to, people now wanting the recon heli nerfed? Get the hell out of here.

Recon Drone is perfect. It is deadlier than the SR-71, but it is manually controlled and there is no directional dots. It also gives a counter-UAV+Flashbang effect, but can also be shot down.

I think the Drone is perfectly balanced, and is one of the best pointstreaks that truly shows the power of the Support Strike package that doesn't involve killing people.

It is silly that its tags last forever.  Its a death sentence to get taged by the recon drone.  For a support killstreak its effect lasting forever is extreme overkill.  Either give it a tiny ammount of health so just one or two bullets will kill it.  Or (much perfered) make the tags go away after a vertain amount of time.  I suggest 30-45 seconds.  If you can survive for 45 seconds when the entire enemy team knows exactly where you are in real time you should probably be taken off of the radar to stop the enemy team from endlessly dying while trying to get you.  Kidding.  Black bird=8 killstreak non stacking lasts 45 seconds.  Mw3 recon drone=10 kills (non stacking but doesn't need to be a streak) lasts until it gets you killed.  Kinda silly when you look at it like that.

I get killed by that little bird more often than not because of the flash more so than the fact that I'm tagged on the map.  The most effective players that I've seen use it will put it somewhere near their team and tag everybody as they pop the corner.  Makes for some easy kills.  It doesn't need nerfed but it definitely is an annoying killstreak when used against you.  Makes me want to learn how to use the woefully underpowdered EMP grenade.
