UAV UAV UAV! Constant UAV!

Posted by biron_w on Nov 10, 2012 9:29 AM

Been playing this game today and the UAV spamming is just ridiculous. You have them going up every 20 seconds or so.

Why are they so easy to get and Ghost is unlocked at level 55 now?

Yes I know I can shoot them down but being the only person doing it is very annoying. Expecially as you often die becasue you're trying to find them in the first place

    Id guess its a combination of things.

     

    Apart from the fact that the standard of players/opponents is notably higher then "typical" right now, I understand that many scorestreaks wont be unlocked yet, almost forcing players into using it.

     

    Have you tried using CUAV yet?

        I wasnt aware of that although, given the first half of a prestige is a lot quicker to do then the 2nd, I guess level 33 is about 30-35% of the way through?

         

        Are you also ysing UAV too? If not, then that should go a long way to balancing things.

    Treyarch doesn't want Ghost to be overused during the first week. Even then, you're about to prestige anyway at that rank, use your 1st Prestige token on that perk if it bothers you so much.

    This is what I was worried about now that UAV is lower in terms of points that it will be spammed more than ever

      Treyarch has the ability to adjust the amount of score needed to unlock any scorestreak. They may increase it in a hotfix later on.

    Plus lets not forget now you get UAV assisst points so that's even more reason to run a UAV

    I use the Anti Aircraft Launcher in every cod game because it gets me more xp! So more UAVs the better!

    If UAVs are up constantly then your team should have one up as well. Everyone should know where everybody is. They cancel one another out. What is the problem. The red dot chasers should be easy kills for you. You see them coming.

     

    That is the problem with you ghost users. You dont want to show up on radar but it is ok when the other team shows up on radar. The days of ignoring UAVs is gone. The community needs to adapt and shoot them down. If shooting them down counts towards your scorestreak then you guys should be fighting for the right to shoot them down.

      I would agree with that except you only get +25 right now for shooting them down. Hardly worth the gamble of taking your eyes off the map to find it in the sky and giving someone a free kill.

    This is bad news but I have to say it's predictable.  UAV's are easier to get and now give out points.  Everyone is going to run them.  I think the only way to play at this point is to spam UAV's yourself to even the field. 

     

    Back when I played Halo1 it was generally accepted that Radar was for scrubs.  I'm not sure what has changed over the years but these days there seem to be more impatient pac man type players than anything else.  Must be due to the ADHD type society we have now.  We may need to fire up a #stoptheuav campaign for the next COD.

      How about there is a CS:GO radar system where there are no silencers and when you see some one in from of you they show up on the map?  And if they go behind cover, it leaves a (?) or something where that person was last seen?

       

      That seems completely fair to me.

      The mini-map is over emphasized. It should only be up when there is a UAV in Core like it is in HC. I truly feel the UAV should be a hight point streak.

    Time to equip a launcher to take down those UAV's.

    Like MW3, you get rewarded for taking them out so why not?

     

    I''ll also point out that the Black Hat PDA (Unlocked at Level 25) can destroy enemy UAV's as well

    personally i welcome the UAVs. I've played a few games so far and the enemy UAV spam got me all my killstreaks 3 times in one game. I just held an area of the map down and the whole team kept trying to rush me. Learn to use things to your advantage. I no longer use silencers, In fact whenever I have trouble finding enemies I fire in the air to attract them.

    UAV = default score streak reward, so everyone has it unlocked and selected right away.

     

    The UAV = the easiest score streak to get, so while people play and learn the game and the maps it's not shocking that they will use the lower streaks first to guage how the game plays it.

     

    It's the same way with every CoD. Most people start off with the lower streaks.

     

    It's not that big of a deal - kind of refreshing calling in a UAV and seeing 6 dots line up. Also encourages you to shoot the things down.

    does anyone else think treyarch has gone overboard with this ghost thing. all they had to do is split it up which they did.

     

    they've turned this game sideways

      They haven't done anything drastic to it, so no I don't think they've gone overboard.

       

      It's no different than Assassin in MW3 minus the additional protection against EMPs etc.

       

      Not sure why you feel like they've gone over the top - is it because your a camper who is angry that you can't stay in one place, lying down, sticking your shlong in the ground?

    uav needs 350 points, so no its not as easy to get anymore. Each kill is 100 points.

          Once again in reply, a good player has accuracy, reactions, and hearing. So this shouldn't make a difference. Practice those and you'll be fine.

    While the UAV spammers are staring at the mini map, you will be using your eyes and ears in the game environment, yeah? Exploit their crutch...let them use it, then kick it out from under them.
