Official Perk list and Killstreaks

[The Lost Prophet]

Interesting that it's all coming from the one site, Kotaku.

I don't like the looks of these little vehicles, I've seen some footage of what looked like RCXD cars and little choppers. So, that blindeye perk is probably real at the very least. Pointguard sounds like a bit of a gamble.

EMP Grenades.

Let me picture the EMP from MW2. Yup, don't give a damn. Oh noes, I don't have a dot but I still know where to aim cauz da gun is in da middle of the screen! Even at 7, the EMP would still be damn useless.

How is it useless?
It makes it impossible for the other team to call in any of their killstreaks, useful advantage.

Hopefully, it plays like MW2.

Most of these perks suck, but that what makes COD:MW fun.

For the player:
No hud at all so: No uav. No remote cameras. No equipment loadout / ammo counter information. No friend/foe identification (better know the uniforms). No friend/foe identification broadcast (your teammates better know the uniforms especially with FF on). No incoming communications, either voice or chat. No hit marker. No aim marker. No kill/death notifications. No award notifications (streak rewards or bonus points). No warning that someone has planted a bomb or captured a flag (until emp is over). etc etc.

Also: No rds/acog dots. No thermal/IR. No c4 (radio transmitter wont work). Unused electronic equipment and unplaced streaks disabled (no guided missiles, jammers, clays, sentries, anti-air etc) until emp is over. No outgoing commo so no streak calldowns.

Counter: a perk hardened against such things, possibility built into something like tactical protection that includes flash/stun protection.

Against all autonomous equipment:
Simply dead and no longer works for 30 seconds or whatever the time is.

In other words, you are thrown back into the stone age and are all alone. Since most of that is hud related no its not too powerful. Tell me why that is not useful?

To a competent player, that's mostly irrelevant. FF is on? You're playing HC, where there's no radar anyway. No optics? Use irons. No HUD? Keep reloading, count nade usage. No streaks? Whatever, I'll use my gun. No in-game announcements? Watch the objectives. No hitmarkers? Aim well, shoot till the enemy's down. No equipment? Most equipment is static, so running around is still viable.

Even as a lower streak, an EMP isn't all that if the enemies are decent players.

That is true. But the same can be said of airstrikes and such. Also flashbangs. Decent players know how to overcome their effects. Then again, who says that whatever an EMP disables has to make realistic sense? How about if it screws up a gun from even firing by forcing a gun jam? Sure it doesnt work that way. But we are talking about a game where people can bunny hop, quickscope, remotely drive around in minicars, and any number of things that are beyond reality.
