Well, I just wanted to post my short MW2 story.
Today, I was sniping on the map Afghan. The gametype was a hardcore HQ. I got a 9 killstreak and called in my pavelow (which I recently found out does a hell of alot better than harriers) and as soon as I called it in, the HQ went down and IW decided to make the spawn system spawn everybody on the enemy team in front of the guy with the longest killstreak. So, I died as soon as my pavelow came in. Of course, the pavelow got a killstreak above 25 while I was dead, so it didn't count towards a nuke. The pavelow ALONE, got over 25...and it didn't count towards a nuke.
I've learned a few things in this game. One of them was that pavelows can skull-fuck and entire team with no effort, and that IW must really hate me.
Now, I will await the coolstorybro.jpg.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Game » consists of 22 releases. Released Nov 10, 2009
The sequel to 2007’s wildly successful first-person-shooter Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues the story of American and British soldiers fighting Russian ultra-nationalist forces.
I got a 25 killstreak while I was dead...
Sucks man that you didn't get the nuke. Thank goodness for cold-blooded though :D
You were playing Hardcore HQ and people didn't have Cold-Blooded on? That's surprising. But regardless, I feel you, man. When it comes to maps like Afghan or Wasteland where I like to stay behind and snipe people, I almost always see my team rushing their spawn like absolute idiots, and when they're far enough, I get shot in the back because the enemy team starts spawning behind me.
" @AlwaysAngry said:Because you're too stupid to use cold-clooded in a hardcore game, where stopping power doesn't effect your weapon that much considering guns are still most likely 1-2 shot kills?

No, it's not because I'm too stupid to use cold-blooded. Nothing, not even a killstreak, should give you that ability. If I can sit there in a corner and watch my kills go up by 25 without even playing, there's something wrong. It's more of a principle that the game is unbalanced, as many others have explained before. I don't think it's fair for someone to top off their, already high killstreak with 25 more effortless kills. Sorry, I think the game is unbalanced, I guess I'm stupid for having a differing opinion than yours." @tdk08 said:

EDIT: Not exactly relevant to your post, but that's the same reason I stopped playing League of Legends. I used to play tons of it, but there is a spell that one champion possesses, which essentially grants him an extra life with full health after death. Granted, this is worse than MW2's problems, but I think the same principle applies.

Wait a second...that's not the games fault actually. It's also not the games fault that nobody used any of the anti-aircraft weapons the game gives you. It's not the game fault that the players didn't change their class to even a default class with the stinger and shoot down the chopper before it even got 5 kills. That's entirely on you dude.
You´re right. I thought the chopper was way more annoying in MW1. At least they give you a lot of options to avoid stuff like that now. The only problem I still have with this game is a problem that runs through almost every online shooter: people are unfamilliar with the game or just don´t want to play it right. I still think the game should give you more points for shooting down vehicles AND a shot down vehicle should add +1 to your killcount.
That could encourage more people to play as a real team and use perks/ AA weapons the way they were meant to be used.
" @AlwaysAngry said:It's not unbalanced. If you think it is, you need to look up what it means to be "unbalanced." The balance is obviously cold-blooded + stinger or javelin. One can take down a Harrier in about two seconds or a Pavelow in seven. A good player or team doesn't even have to worry about air support.No, it's not because I'm too stupid to use cold-blooded.

Quit crying about the game being unbalanced, make a stinger class, and shoot down the air support before it reaches the map.
I know you're just going to keep coming back with the same argument of "You being stupid isn't the game's fault!", but that doesn't always happen. And, when it doesn't, it gets extremely annoying when you get killed anytime you walk outside. Regardless of a strategy to defend against that specific killstreak, my original comment was meant to be taken as an example of the balance issues the game has. Sure, there's ways to counter anything that you encounter in multiplayer, but it's obvious that it is the game's fault for the balance issues." @tdk08 said:

@twenty0ne: Same ^ to you. I don't have to explain that the game's unbalanced. Plenty of people have before. Look at the last sentence above this closely.
" @Eric_Buck said:No...they just do. I think it might have been that way before, but I never used pavelows before a week ago, so maybe it was and they patched it. My pavelow has always counted for me." I don't think Pavelows count towards your killstreak anyway. "they do. you just have to make sure to kill someone before actually calling one in. it's kinda messed up... "
I think what people need to know is, if you get a pavelow (or any air-support,) die, then call it in, it won't count towards your kill streak.
You can get 5 kills, die, then get 25 kills with a predator missile (don't ask me how!!!!!) and not get a nuke.
Care to tell us how it's unbalanced? I really don't think you can, and you're just blaming the game because you hate it and think battlefield are such t3h uber pwnz!!1
I don't know or care if the game is balanced or not, I just think it's a bad game and definitely not as fun (both SP and MP) as Modern Warfare was.
@AlwaysAngry:
Sounds like a funny thing to happen anyway, even if you didn't get a nuke,
