Your opinion on killstreaks
So what say you lot? I imagine, with a majority of us born and raised as MP gamers by the king of console arena shooters, that I'll get a majority vote on hate 'em. I hope I do. Else I'll be very disappointed.
Personally, I do indeed hate them: it's bad enough losing to another team (especially if I'm not having any fun in the game), but when they get toys (abilities, weapons, whatever) to give them an even [i]greater[/i] advantage over me, that's just not fair, I'm going to get buttplundered even more.
But Tarty, I hear you cry, aren't you the very same Tartan 118 who likes ordnance drops in Halo 4? Yes, yes I am. Ummmm. Difference being, I'm familiar enough with Halo's sandbox to counter (or at least know how to) whatever toys the enemy is gifted. Whereas in -blam!-ing Call of Duty or whatever, you just get insta-powned by whatever bullets, bombs or dogs the enemy gets, with no chance to fight back. SHIELDS. Shields make the difference, I guess. I dunno.

When customizable killstreaks were introduced in MW2, I shit my pants because it was so awesome picking what you want to destroy the enemies. It was awesome playing a CoD game with not just a 3, 5, and 7 killstreak for once. It made the game even more fast paced and insane. IMO, the best killstreak in MW2 was the Harrier strike. It shot down helicopters and was strong. The nuke however ruined part of the fun as most people camped for it and boosted for it. If there wasn't a nuke, the game would have been so much better. The only downside was the amount of killstreaks that are on the same map at the same time. It gets ridiculous when there's an AC130, 2 Harriers, couple UAVs, Chopper Gunner, and a EMP all at the same time. And there [i] is [/i] a way to defend yourself from killstreaks. Its called the Stinger, RPG, AT-4, Javelin and Cold-Blooded perk. I always have a Anti-Killstreak class ready to go in case things get crazy. Since none of my dumbass teammates ever shoot down the killstreaks, I always gotta be the guy that does. The Harrier was also another alternative as it shot down Pave Lows, Chopper Gunners, and Attack Helicopters. The MW2 Riot Shield was also indestructible from the Harrier gun, Attack Helicopter gun, and Pave Low guns. Get the attention of one of these with the Riot Shield and it will concentrate its fire on you only while you take no damage.
