    Default Portable Radar needs to go...

    I play a lot of free for all and when I lose a match, the winner is always using. A op gun and camping with a portable radar. Why is this even in the game? I really hope it's not in blops 2.

    My guess it will be in BO2. I mean, it is already set in the near future, some kind of Portable Radar has to be in BO2. Hell, BO1 was set in the past and guess what? It had it.

    Yeah, FFA really sucks balls when someone is doing that. Just throw an EMP at him and see how shit his guts out without his Rader and HBS. Best thing to do is never go near him unless he starts getting killstreaks. In that case, shot his killstreak reward down and go kill him.

    Sounds like every mode. And he'll be wearing Assassin. Then claiming to be a some superstar after the game.

    They need a new mode in core called Set of Nuts. No BE/Ass/Deathstreaks. Would be very few people in it but it would be fast paced and fun again.

    Why not run sitrep and quit bellyaching over it? Even if he's using assassin, the presence of a portable radar in FFA is almost always a beacon to the guy's general location anyway, not to mention the perk is very useful for sound whoring/noticing clays+betties, and dealing with legit (and not so legit) usage of tactical insertions also.

    It only gets hard if the player with the portable radar is intelligent and moves away from where it is (using it as a kind of long-range flanking notice) Someone with the awareness to handle it that way will be challenging but you can probably still wall-bang the thing from outside its range or avoid it if you have sitrep.

    Or you could just continue the prolonged assassin spam and run it yourself, making his choice of tactical equipment completely worthless against you.

    I personally find it awkward that there are a LOT of people on this board who seem to feel an overpowered 3 killstreak is an entitlement...but that using a piece of equipment that copies the effect for a small % of the map is "cheap" and/or needs to be removed despite multiple counters to it and the fact that you have to sacrifice other good options to run it.

    It's obviously the fact that you don't have to earn it and it encourages you to camp by it that pisses people off.

    It's just more needless BS that has no place in an arcade shooter in my book. Just another reason not to buy the new games.

    I use it as a camper detector or when I spawn trap in CTF :glee:

    Pretty much this. I call a UAV to know your location and rush your ass. PR just makes you a camper :/

    Although it is very useful in face-off. It can cover half the map without calling a UAV.

    Herp. Like it's so hard to "earn" a 3 kill streak, or getting 4 kills at all. Herp.

    You don't earn it. You PAY for it. You lose tactical grenades, and virtually ANYTHING can destroy it...and its coverage is much less. Come up with an intelligent argument please, as opposed to a canned one that isn't.

    Herp.

    I swear to god, coming up with these arguments must require fog or cobwebs in the head or something. It is possible to use UAV without camping. It is possible to use PR without camping. It is even possible to use assassin without camping, but people would rather bitch and moan here than adapt to not relying on their little crutch streak entitlement.

    Dude, you're either trolling right now or the reason CoD sucks dick.

    It's a lot harder to get a 3 killstreak than it is to spawn.

    I see, so you ARE incapable of coming up with intelligent arguments. Should I pity that or find disgust in it? Perhaps both?

    Maybe you should play without PR OR UAV, or ask to remove both, rather than falling into logical fallacies and inept argumentation.
