Kind of. It's all in my head though. I'll be on a run and get a care package or predator or something and freak the fuck out, run around trying to find a safe place to throw the marker or open the laptop, etc. and get shot.

I've found if I ignore them until I get to a safe place I do better, but I keep wanting to use it right away, but knowing I can't just stand in the middle of the map looking up pr0ns on the computer.

Anyone else suffer from this problem?

pantstofry

yeah, this happens to me a lot. pisses me off, but i guess I gotta get used to it... just find somewhere to hide

NinJa

Better safe than sorry. Try going prone behind some cover when using PM's. With CP's however, you just have to wait and pick the right spot, I usually save them for when I die, since they don't really contribute to your killstreaks.

That way, you'll more or less be in your team spawn, so generally you'd be safer.

HOPEFULLY.

but that's a good idea. Save your CPs, unless the game is about to end. As for the rest just get behind something and launch your computer. IF you have a predator and you see a guy running toward where you are, take him out. But don't kill yourself in the process *_*

Platy

I do this with CP's. Safer that way.

PM's I just try and find some cover. If that's not possible I just wait until I die.

I've noticed that (for me anyway) that if i wait to use a care package or use it after i die, it tends to be something not worth risking death for like ammo, uav or counter uav. I stoped useing the care package cuse i would typically die while waiting for it or die when im recovering it.

I use Predator Missle, Harrier Strike and Pavelow. There are only two kills between each killstreak and i can typically get the last two after getting the predator missile.

I was playing Salvage the other day and got the predator missle and laid down and sent it in to what looked like a heavily occupied area and "DING, Pavelow!" Ha! Those guys had to be pissed.

If that annoys you try this setup: UAV, Attack Helicopter, Pavelow.

I actually use this alot. I like it because you never need the laptop. You could substitute Counter-UAV in there too if you like (it is NOT as useless as most people make it seem. Especially if you aren't using a silencer).

Vomitcretin

Good idea, never really tried for the attack chopper.

safe the airdrops. until you die
for the laptop ones i find myself running back to my spawn then getting killed from behind, especially if i just got a harrier when going for a nuke. sucks balls

The attack helicopter is so useless it wont kill someone unless their standing still in the open lol. IMO care packages are more trouble then their worth something "good" would be harrier strike and up if you just used a predator instead of CP you could 40% of the time get a harrier off of it anyways.

If you are still hooked on the CP though use it as bait or let your team grab it you get a ton of points if they take it, the better the CP the more points you get.

Yesterday upon the stair i met a man who wasn't there, i met that man again today i wish that man would go away.

blub212212

but if its an 9 killstreak+ take it because you'd probably get more points in kills than them getting it

true that also the biggest disadvantage to using the attack chopper is that if your also using pave low or chopper gunner in your kills streaks you wont be able to call them in while your attack chopper is lazily floating around getting no kills, and that thing takes forever to leave.

(unless they shoot it down of course)

the best killstreak set-up for pure wreckage, providing you can reach it, is harrier, pavelow, AC130/Chopper gunner. if you use ac130, all can be up at once. it simply gets so many kills...its sorta crazy.

Attack helicopter is better than you think. Its just not as good on tight maps. I just finished getting the emblem for it not long ago, and I use to think it sucked. But it get more kills than you think, and lasts like twice as long as a Harrier.

blub212212

now that everyone blows stuff up, its almost useless

The harrier lasts 30 seconds if i recall and the attack helecopter lats 45 seconds or something like that. Also if they are going to shoot down kill streaks at least the harrier gives you the airstrike. The harrier also shoots down enemy choppers, pave lows, even chopper gunners.

the Chopper is 60 seconds, the harrier is 40. i am 99.999% sure

Well i save care packages for when i die. With a predator if i have harrier on as well I will just go prone behind something and hope no one saw me. if i have predator then pave low i will perhaps get a few more kills then find somewhere to hide. I personally like to use 5,7,9 or 3,5,7 or sometimes ,3,9,11 if im feeling brave =D

blub212212

4-5-8 is fun if you want stuff to fall out of the sky (care package sentry emergency airdrop)
always save CPS until you die, always watch your back if you're running to your hiding spot for camping with harriers

I always run cold blooded when going for a nuke in Ground War. There's eleven other guys on my team, chances are at least a couple make good fodder for the enemy team. I don't want a fucking harrier to end my streak. Besides, people whore the radar. The moment you're on UAV.....you'll be fucked by multiple people.

I also fucking hate rushers. I obviously camp for the nuke , and eventually the enemy team starts spawning behind me and I can't hold them off.
