    BURBUBUR.  KILLSTREAKS ARE TOO EASY.  NUKEZ WILL HAPPEN EVERY 5TH GAME.
     
    Still haven't experienced a nuke.  Level 32, probably close to 200 games, not a single one.  
     
    Whoever bitched and moaned about nukes when you saw the video, you are an alarmist douchebag.

    I think it will be a fairly rare event and will become a urban legend.

    Well, you CAN get it in a care package too. It's insanely rare though obviously.

    I've only ever seen someone get an EMP once from a care care package in the hundreds that have ever been called in during games I've played.  I can only imagine how rare the nuke is.

    Saw my first last night.  Guy got 47 kills in a ground war match.  
     
    Was fucking tight.  I cam. 
     
    All the loser "Joint Ops" fuckers.  Were talking bout weed one minute, then pissing themselves the next.  Calling out "HAX."  Was seriously awesome, even to lose.

    Yeah I played with someone that told me someone got it from a care package in the previous game he was in. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the type of thing that only happens once every 1,000,000 care packages or something.

    No. I'm level 32 and played quite a few games and never saw someone use one. The highest I've seen is a couple of EMP's.

    What exactly does the EMP do?  All I ever see is a white flash, and then nothing else that effects my gameplay.  So what am I not noticing?

    No, not yet.  The highest kill streak I have seen someone use so far is the AC-130.

    Maybe you got out of the zone if that's possible. When the EMP occurs, the hud disappears and all devices from red dot sights to AC-130s cease.

    Nope (I'm level 37). I got a 25 kill streak but I used all of my 3 kill streaks to get it. So that's that.

    Yeah, I'm actually having a harder time getting kill streaks in this than COD4 too.  Maybe when I get better I can get one, but at the moment, it's gonna be rough. 
     
    Of course, I usually pick the not-as-awesome kill streaks so I get them more often.  It would be easier to get if I put my kill streaks into helicopters and AC130s, but I would barely get up to that point.

    Nope, I'm a 33 and have played maaaanny many games and haven't seen it once. A 25 killstreak, although not impossible, is pretty hard to get (bring on the braggers saying they do it every other match) so I don't see them really being a common thing. And I feel as if most players (err, smarter players?) will use the killstreaks for the lower numbers so they get them more frequently. Personally, I stick with the Care Package, Predator Missle, and the Chopper Gunner. It seems way more reasonable to pick ones that you'll actually achieve pretty easily otherwise it'll just be a waste I think.

    I got an AC-130 once! ^_^ It was pretty awesome.  
     
    On topic, no I haven't seen one. I don't think they're existence is much of an issue either. Not only does the rare chance of you getting a 25 kill streak have to occur, but you also need to happen to have been crazy enough to choose tactical nuke as on of your bonuses. Also, ending the game isn't really a problem, because if you're on a 25 kill streak, your rolling everyone anyways, you aren't going to be losing the match any time soon.

    @Louis0nFire: Really?  My brother said he saw a dude get it from an Emergency Crate Drop (the 8 kill streak, 4 box one), but I figured he was bullshitting me.  Pretty crazy that you can get it from one :O.

    Nope, haven't seen a nuke yet. I've seen several of EMPs though, maybe about 5 times. I'm level 29 and played about a hundred matches now.

    I've only seen 1 person use it and that would be my brother, who used it three times yesterday.  Overall though I find the kill streak to be pretty useless.  All it does is win the game for you, but if someone gets a 25 kill streak regardless I'm pretty sure his or her team is going to win anyway. 
     
    But as a redeeming factor it is still pretty hilarious to see the timer pop on the top left screen and everyone goes nuts by screaming "OH MY GOD!!! RUN!!! AHHH!!!!" lol.

    Well we're both pretty good, but it wasn't really that difficult for him to get 25 straight kills multiple times, because we were playing domination with a full party of competent players.
     
    I myself could've gotten a nuke already to, but I just choose not to equip it, because all it does is end the game sooner.

    I was one of those people who thought it was going to happen to often, but after not seeing anyone get that high a killstreak and only seeing a few friends on the leaderboards with streaks around 27, I regret thinking so.

    Not yet, tho I was in a room with a guy who went 74:4 in a Domination game... no B.S. About halfway through the match he yelled into his mic, "AW MAN! I should have chosen the nuke!" It was hilarious.

    I didn't mean to offend or bring your intelligence into question, just saying what it did in game, which is disable all electronics.  Maybe you didn't notice it because it was your team's EMP.

    I think there are certain game modes where it's more likely for someone to get a 25 kill streak (ie. Ground War), but it's still going to be extremely rare. Then you have to consider; how many people are going to actually bother taking that as one of their kill streaks on the off chance that they might possibly get 25 in a row? Not very many, I'd wager. I doubt there is anyone who can consistently get a 25 kill streak, often enough so that it makes choosing that streak worthwhile. So that makes it even more unlikely.
     
    So yeah, all the "AAAHH OMGS NUKZ SO OVERPOWRZ!!11 TEH GAMZ BROK!!1111!" people are worthless human beings. Although, I bet now they are acting like they never complained about it. I'd guess that even some of the members in this very thread that are now saying it's "not a big deal" are also the very people that were freaking out about it prior to the games release. You are pathetic... You know if I'm talking to you.

    I haven't seen it yet, but if I had it equipped I could of gotten one the other day. I just don't think it's a great perk to have equipped, it wastes a slot as it's not something I see happening all the time.

    I experienced one. Its B E A U T I F U L! seriously. At first I was scared as shit, since I thought that the opposing team did it but it was my team. Funny thing is that the match score bonus was of 666 no joke. 
     
    The nuke goes like this. You see a blast, then an EMP, a few seconds where you can still play and the everyone dies and gameover. 
     
    Its cool, but Ive only seen it once. Its not as game breaking as many thought though, since mostly a 25 streak is achieved way into the game. Unless the other team is full of fail (like me xD, no joke, seriously, I suck)
