The get off here and do some work!

I am working, I'm 'familiarising' myself with this iMac I've been given to mess with

The SR-71 has super mega powerful (technical term) x-ray cameras so they can see the direction you're facing. Or maybe it's a load of rubbish and Treyarch thought it would be a good idea to give it some mystical ability?

I have read that ghost only hides you from UAV and the blackbird(and something else I think) but you can still be seen by other killstreaks like the chopper gunner or whatever.

Good, it might give people more incentive to shoot killstreaks down!

Gotta agree with that. And I think it could be a good idea. As it's now going to be harder to get killstreaks(due to killstreaks no longer adding to killstreaks) it'll make them worth getting and it is annoying when you get one and you can't see anybody as they're all cold blooded.

Doubtful, in MW2 most people dont seem to bother even if they're not cold blooded. They never bother changing to take it out and just get shot constantly until the KS runs out.

Ugh, Dogs are back.

Hmmmmm, any reason why you dont think it'll affect it? Seems pretty pointless otherwise!

Also is there any reason why the SR-71 will show the direction the oponent's facing?

well, it uses a camera...

not a heartbeat detector,or blips on a radar.

unless a decoy is a blow up soilder in a can, i dont see how it can be fooled.

That my good man is an excellent point!

However... i'm now really hoping that the decoy IS a blow up soldier in a can!

Annoys me when people don't shoot air support down, lazy sods. Yes, even you lot I play with!

It's a rare day when any air support lasts more than 5 seconds if I'm playing.

dannyjo22 · 15 Sep 2010 at 13:35

Thats why I don't bother shooting them down. Any time I die and then equip a jav, the ****ing thing gets blown up before I get a lock. So I have a **** it deano will get it attitude and carry on camping!

Everyone knows you're the TMeb anti air maestro Deano, no one wants to step on your toes!

You gonna play a mans game tonight son? or as Danny put it last night are you gonna be Master Chef on Galo?

Dunno, Dave wants to play some Halo so depends how gay I'm feeling

I'm not getting many hours of gaming with this new job, I'm not getting home till after half 6! Bloody terrible state of affairs. I might have to go back on the dole

dannyjo22 · 15 Sep 2010 at 15:48

Gaylo, what a way to ruin a perfectly good birthday. Oh look we are all buzz light year with our shining zero feedback laser coming out of our arms. Oh look half a clip of ammo to take down shields while your bouncing all over my screen like a big gay tigger in a Buzz Lightyear suit.

Man the **** up and chuck that **** in the bin.

Oh Happy Birthday btw.

So you get you'r 11 gunship killstreak(woo hoo) and I shoot it down before it even reaches the map(bah humbug)!!

Don't you mean let's hope the enemy don't get a chance to shoot down killstreaks!!

There is a balance between everyone moaning about killstreaks and getting killstreaks.

You play in a party so you'r killstreaks should be set up in favour of eachother e.g. 2 players have UAV, 2 players have CP...etc etc. If (in MW2 anyway) everyone runs around with harriers and Pavelow then they end up queing which I think is pointless better off varying up KS if you play in a team.

metamorphpwner · 15 Sep 2010 at 16:06

I have care package, emergency airdrop and nuke as my killstreaks. I just like care packages/airdrops because you don't know what you're going to get, whereas if you've got harriers set, you know that's what you will get.
bad thing is that my airdrops usually contain counter UAVS more than anything good.

Yeah you should do that, the trouble is people like to rape as many kills as they can. I don't think we have ever discussed setting up KS like that.

Killstreaks should stack in my opinion. For example, a second UAV activating halfway through the first one called in bumps the timer up to 45 seconds instead of going back to 30.

That probably seems overpowered but if they can reduce the length of time active, I'm sure it can be fairly balanced.

when i have UAV as a killstreak, i just store them up say like 5 of them and when one stops i start another.
That way we have constant UAV for part of the game which allow you to get more kills =more UAVs ect.
