We didn't see UAV Jammer/Camouflage/Cold Blooded because everybody used Stopping Power. The players of those games built a strong dependence on their radars because of this. There was a stealth perk, but Stopping Power was better, so everybody went with Stopping Power. Now that there is no Stopping Power, plus the fact that the basic stealth perk was moved to Tier 1, the veterans of previous CoD games had to adjust to a larger number of stealthy players than they were used to. So they complain, because now they need to learn that they can't just use their radar; they need to use their eyes and ears. They also need to stop running back to the same camper, getting killed repeatedly, and calling said camper a noob. Rushers can be noobs too.

I disagree with his other Tier 1 perk comparisons. His bias against Ghost makes him perceive the other perks as useless. Hardline may be beaten by Ghost, but he has to realize there's killstreaks Ghost can't counter, though few. Flak Jacket beats Ghost in the scenario that a Semtex lands right beside you. Ghost using player runs and dies, Flak Jacket user can just sit there.

"Don't show up on radar, don't get random grenaded." I thought CoD players hate getting killed by random grenades. And Black Ops has the answer! Flak Jacket. Apparently the Ghost user is a noob for avoiding grenade spam (he is Fighting Against it).

"People need to give up something for it" Ahem: More ammo, Faster movement, Explosive Resistance, Easier Killstreak gains. Most players will use the other perks for their benefits. He says it's too strong, but the majority of BO players will use Hardline, Lightweight, Scavenger and Flak Jacket. Why? Their benefits are much more suited for direct combat than Ghost.

He seems to hate anything he believes is overpowered. Don't back away from using something the developers put in the game for you to use because you don't want to look like a noob. If it makes you better at the game, then do it.

My opinion.

Also: "If you put it in the 2nd Tier slot, 50% of the Ghost users would disappear off the map" They aren't even on the map to begin with....

Can't wait for the Second Chance rant!
