There are plenty of things that counter one another out in COD how is making sitrep pro counter Dead Silence OP?

Per 402's twitter, sitrep pro now cancels out dead silence.

 

I dont know how everyone feels about this, but i think it's pretty crappy and essentially makes dead silence useless and makes sitrep pro OP.

Thats not so bad. If you run sit rep, you will still be loud, loud, loud. As long as they keep the audio levels from MW2 of course.

Alexjt, that may have been done for balance reasons. Surely there was some reason to split it up because that does make alot of sence.

What I don't understand is why people are upset about different perks having counters to each other. I was just in a thread where people were complaining that there was no proper count to Assassin, and now I read that its a bad thing that Dead Silence DOES have a counter... which it DID have in MW2 anway, but you were probably to busy running around and your own footsteps sound over-powered the enemies.

Depending on the situation/class set-up/game type I will probably be rocking both Sit-Rep and DS on different loadouts.

Let's be realistic about this. Dead Silence is countered by SitRep. As it should. But What SitRep will most likely do is make DS users sound like normal. Which is not that bad, In SnD  you need gun skill and tact movements to do well. You secure the area, Plant, Defend the area. Running in planting you should die. And if they don;t have DS you can hear them, so deal with them.

I agree with you man. Why run Dead Silence if it is useless to people who are wearing Sit Rep? It doesn't make sense to me. AND why call it DEAD SILENCE if you're not dead silent?

Still looking forward to the game. This is honestly the only thing that I am bummed out about.

Thank god it counters dead silence. Something needs to! Perhaps sit rep is OP now, but dead silence was OP to start with for all the head set users. A perk to counter a perk. For all the little sound whores.... You can still sound whore a sit rep user! Now it's even ground!!!!!!! Dead silence is one sided and games can boil down to luck rather then skill. I have seen people run by each other, both using deaf silence, and just toss the game out the window in S&D. So seeing a perk that can actually turn this game back into a game of gun skill and intelligence is a god send.

Also, if you are any good what so ever, you can use any third perk and not just deaf silence! In S&D 95% of people use dead silence. Why even have a third perk? It's pointless to use anything but dead silence... UNTIL NOW!

Anyone remember the CoD4 days? You couldn't have dead silence and rush, it was one or the other!

Sooo, THANK YOU FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM!
