Talk:Tactical Nuke

Awesome. Cewebwalz 18:10, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure nukes add to the longest killstreak in the leaderboards?
I had 26 continuous kills when I called in the nuke during a game of Domination. I called the nuke, then got one more kill all WITHOUT dying. The game ended, everyone died, and my leaderboard said 27 kills was my longest kill streak. I distinctly remember this because I said to myself, "Damn, I should have killed more people instead of calling the nuke since the nuke didn't help my killstreak." Can someone please confirm? Or is it possible that getting the 26th or 27th kill "manually" messed up the killstreak logic?

I think it does help your killstreak but it depends on when you get killed. I was the first casualty on my first nuke, and it didn't increase it. I believe in what order people die will depend. However, teamkilling with the nuke will atleast not increase it. But I am not sure. -Faiban

I believe is just matters where your placement on the map is when you set if off. I just got my first nuke, 25 straight and pressed it, and the leaderboards showed 29 as my max killstreak (it was 25 previously, but i didnt have a nuke at that time). So if your the first to die from your nuke, your killstreak will be 25. If your the last, it will be a lot greater.

For every map the nuke has a specific point outside the map to set off. Depending on where you are in the map you will get more or less kills added to your killstreak. I got a 33 killstreak from my nuke. Splatt3r 19:40, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

EMP and Nuke
Can it be disabled by an EMP? Thunder9092 18:15, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Found the Answer on the EMP page Thunder9092 00:22, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

I'm calling shenanigans. I tried it out on splitscreen, EMP during the countdown does not work. OmgHAX! 16:13, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it didn't work because you were doing splitscreen. I'm just as speculative as you are, OmgHAX, but there should be a way to stop the nuke, right?IIID Empire 08:13, Nov.15, 09.


 * If thats the case, then the only way for that to happen is online. And what are the odds of that being pulled off? I say video evidence or it didn't happen. OmgHAX! 02:29, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Hm, well the one time the Nuke got me, no EMP was used. Sure, EMP's are just as rare. I got one ONCE through a care package. Time is needed until we get evidence of this happening.IIID Empire 11:01, Nov. 15, 09

If you had a Nuke and someone used an EMP before you hit the Nuke button you cannot use your Nuke as all electronics are disable (of course). I tried that out with a friend of mine just last night and it did not work if an EMP is inbound and active and every electronics are down. Just as you cannot use any air support.

Apparently if you use chopper gunner at the right time it kicks you out the chopper but by then the nukes already gone off and you don't die i'm not sure if its true though, and the game still ends

An EMP can block a nuke if it is called in before the nuke is. After the EMP though, the nuke can be called in. An EMP can't stop a nuke after the nuke has been luanched, however. 74.101.108.117 13:50, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Got Nuked!!
I have gotten four nukes, i got two nukes then i Prestige and got two more. does that mean that my nuke counter resets when i prestige will i have to get 8 more nukes instead of 6 more to get the symbol? all my nukes are legit never boosted or hacked. SAINTPIG

Yeah today we found out this one guy was using wall hacks along with aimbot and a few other hacks i do not know but he was on my team. He did not die at all because of his hacks he was using. I was suprised he didn't get his key code banned. Then he Nuked all of us and people were complaining and then he just left. i'd have to admit the nuke is pretty cool. At the end when it shows the scoreboard all you can see is red dust flying everywhere. i'd rate the nuke 10/10 as it is awesome and also works well. An EMP I wish someone had so they could stop the countdown of it.

The EMP wouldn't have stopped it.IIID Empire 11:34, Nov. 20, 09


 * Yes it would have. Anyway, me and my bro were playing split-screen on terminal and I got a nuke legit. It's awesome. 19:40, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Got proof? If so, then I will agree. If not. Get proof.IIID Empire 12:16, Nov. 20, 09

It actually did happen because he was on me team and i think someone demoed him i am not sure but the nuke is really good is all i am saying.

The Nuke is pretty sexy, I'll give you that. At least we have a video showing proof that the EMP does not affect the Nuke.IIID Empire 06:30, Nov.23, 09

Where is this video? Doc.Richtofen 16:11, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utaK-fSWxM8 I am a bit skeptical though. IIID Empire 16:07, Nov. 20, 09

Nuke = Automatic Victory?
I played a Free-for-All match on Terminal and one of the players got a Nuke with which he ended the game. However, I had the lead by several kills when he called it in and I still won the match. So Nuke does NOT equal automatic victory.

That may of been because you were playing Free-for-All.IIID Empire 16:09, Nov.23, 09

Isn't the max kill count for FFA Twenty-Five in the first place? - BGA 2:21am Eastern, November 26 2009

I'm guessing it is. Never played it on MW2.IIID Empire 12:00, Nov.26, 09

No, it goes to 30 kills in FFA, not 25. O T a iIi lL sS 22:35, December 2, 2009 (UTC)o T a iIi lL sS

Yeah, Due to the nature of the killstreak needing 25, free for all games are likely to push the users score over 30 kills. I witnessed someone obtaining 34 kills as a result of a nuke in FFA. Annoyingly it was on my knife only 100% accuracy account, so i still don't have the toxic title.--The-Dreamcaster 13:21, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

I also saw this somewhere on youtube. The guy got a nuke called it, and still lost, you can search for it by typing in nuke failPrprince 00:21, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, IW patched that up because people complained about one of them being me because It happened to me.

Nuke From Care Package?
Is there a way to get a nuke from a care package or an emergency airdrop? People on the internet say they read the COD MW2 code and the chance is slim to none (0.05 chance reported). I just want to know if it's possible because that would be ridiculous.


 * 402 said its not coded to be possible. OmgHAX! 02:39, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

The coding on the PC version says there is >0% chance of a nuke in a CP. So I'm guessing you can get one, but it is EXTREMELY unlikely. The88thPanzer 20:40, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Less than 0%? How is that even possible? That suggests that is actually -% likely, making something very messed up. I'm certain it's impossible to obtain one from a care package, regardless of the platform the game is played on.--The-Dreamcaster 13:21, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Dreamcaster, uhhh the sign ">" means that this is more than

Oh crap, you right, damn did i misread that. Moronic fail. --The-Dreamcaster 20:17, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Eh, didn't IW confirm that it is impossible to get a nuke from a care package/airdrop? --TNT LotLP 21:53, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Supposedly, there's a guy out there who has a four-kill or five-kill streak and who has dropped a Tactical Nuke. It's probably just a rumor, though. 173.59.118.210 19:05, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

There's ppl who hacked and got nukes from a CP. although if its possible without hacking u could do the unlimited CP glitch and keep on trying 2 get 1 doing the glitch--CrazyMonkey0000 19:18 February 8, 2010 (UTC)

It is impossible to get a buke from a care package/emergancy airdrop cause it is

It is actually possible. I was in a hacked server and the guy set all the care packages to the 'Nuclear Strike' INcontroL 22:56, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

We're talking about the vanilla game. Almost everything is possible when hacked. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 14:04, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

I decided to remove.
the spamm to one of the tips,BOOOOOMMMMM. just made the page look ridicolousy messed up Snake. 23:43, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

First Nuke called in!
I called in my first Nuke ever then after that we went back to the lobby and people were like who was it that called the nuke and some guy said it was SLAUGHTERER and basically i was quite thrilled that i had actually gotten a Nuke. But people were complaining saying i was camping but i was just laughing at the fools who cant get a nuke themselves. If anyone wants to know the best killstreaks to use i suggest to use Harrier strike,Chopper Gunner and then the Nuke and use hardline perk so you can get the killstreaks a bit earlier.

Yes, i got my first nuke too in quary when i was playing hq pro and when we went back to lobby everybody complained and said i was camping too. Well,camping is a playing style isnt it?


 * running around with akimbo 1887's bling is a playing style too. doesn't mean we have to like it. --TNT LotLP 20:19, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

too bad the models got nerfed :(

Question related to the Emblems and Title awards with the Nuke
Hey guys, quick question, are the Call Sign rewards for the nuke tracked through out your game play? or are they linked directly to the Kill Streak Challenge "End Game". Just curious, because before entering second Prestige, I had managed to call in 5 Nukes (legitimately, I don't Nuke Boost) earning of course during those 5, the titles for those, then I moved on to 2nd prestige, If I earn 5 more, does that mean I'll get the other awards?

No, you start all over. Al lyou get net time is the EXP. Slowrider7

If i get 2 nukes in 2nd prestige and then one more in 3er PRESTIGE in counts like 3 or only just one? beacause in want the nuke emblem that is 10 nukes..answer me pls

t

they reset every prestige so you have to get all 10 in one prestige. IiTIT4Nx 09:13, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

What I think would make the nuke more favored.
If say you have 600 out of 1000 points, when you call in a nuke, it kills each person enough times so that the user would win the game. So if you needed 4 more kills to win the game, it would kill each person 4 more times and you would get the points for each time.

Thats just my opinion on how more people would want the Tactical Nuke. Slowrider7

Double post, sorry.

How could a single nuke kill someone many times? Logically? Slider

Well what could happen is that it would kill one person then it would say kill bots or something. Idk that seems like it would make more sense. What i think it should do is kill everyone first, count it towards your killstreak and kills (even your teammates since they get a death), then kill you USS Bacon

Nuke before 25 kills?
Lately I've been playing free for all at least 5 times there has bee a nuke called in. The max number of kills you can go before the end of the game is 30, and you can only get a nuke if you have a 25 killstreak. I look at the leaderboard right afterwords and the people who call in the nuke dont even have 25 kills half the time, and if they have over 25 kills they still have like 10 deaths. Im just curious as to how they are calling in nukes before they even get a killstreak of 25? are they hackers? if anyone knows that help a lot. its been buggin the shit outta me

Well, they might have had hardline. About the ppl having 10 deaths: they could have just gotten the nuke and then died 10 times, or died 10 times and then gotten the 25 kills.Purplemonkey55 05:38, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, once when I was playing someone on the other team called in a nuke and when I checked the scoreboard, the only person with over 25 kills has 36 kills 57 deaths. I mean, how the hell do you get a 25 killstreak if before you had only 11 kills and 57 deaths? How do you get one if you have 57 deaths, period?Crimmastermind 06:20, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

I've had same thing recently, and I'm beginning to think that there are LOADS of nuke hackers out there! all of yesterday morning was nuke, nuke, change lobby, nuke, I mean seriously about 10 times in a row, I changed to a new game, only to find another person calling in a nuke within 2 mins! which is frankly ludicrous, especially if there haven't really been any major killstreaks on the board. Lot's of people obviously bullshitting about finding them in care packages (one guy claimed that twice in a row) - and thing is these people weren't camping, or boosting (one guy in particular was very vocal in his opposition to those tactics, and he definitely wasn't using them) very few seem to get 25 (or even 24 kills), It's getting quite regularly down A LOT LOWER - a 13 kill the lowest I've seen, and he'd died a few times. I'm beginning to think that the nuke was a good idea on paper, but in practice, it's screwed about with all too often - IW need to sort it out.86.134.188.128 17:34, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

The Ultimate Sacrifice Clarification
Right, ill keep it simple. I called in a nuke while our team was Losing in Domination, and it gave us the win. However I did not recieve any achivement or emblem. Can someone clarify what game modes it can apply to or could it be that I was not a high enough lvl to earn the challenge (47) which would be disappointing. 94.172.53.193 18:04, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you gotta have the challenge unlocked at level 61 i believe -ScotlandTheBest 23:18, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Shockwaves?
There are conflicting trivia about when players die. One says they die 5 seconds after the nuke hits, regardless of position or shockwave. Another says they die depending on when the shockwave hits. Another is about a rumor that low points are the last to get hit by the shockwave. Which, if any, are true? Epochalyptik 04:27, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

People have ran several tests, people just die after 5 seconds, the order people are killed in is a roll of the dice Deadcombat 04:38, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Nuke/EMP clarification
One of the trivia states that all the killstreaks will be destroyed upon detonation of the nuke, but the player will die from the shockwave. This is due to the fact that after a nuke has been detonated, an EMP effect will come into play, as it does IRL. This fact is not well known as no one really cares that all electronics will go down when they are about to die from the nuke's blast anyway.

Possible Addition to the Page?
Shouldn't there be a perks box on the bottom of the page directing it to other killstreaks and such? Jtb1234 23:17, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Release Block
I think we should release the block because people, like me, have some valuable information to put on the page.MdDy x GMON3Y 00:19, February 11, 2010 (UTC)MdDy x GMON3Y

The page says the nuke cannot be obtained by a care package twice in Trivia.
''Despite much debate, it is not possible to collect a Tactical Nuke from a Care Package or Emergency Airdrop. This has been confirmed by Infinity Ward. and The Tactical Nuke can't be obtained from a Care Package.''(The last line down) I'd probably remove the second one I mentioned.

Spoiler in the trivia section. Remove?
As someone who's mainly played multiplayer and hasn't really played much of Campaign mode, seeing what is currently the 3rd entry from the bottom in the trivia section kinda pissed me off. Could someone remove that as it's pretty damn spoilery. Or, find some way of masking it or somethin. Yeesh.

What are you referring to?? Has it been removed yet?? The only spoiler I can find is the second to last point in Trivia, the one about the music... did you mean that one?? Nadieeee 22:28, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Why no vaporization and blinding?
I noticed that it said that they didn't want to have the nuke blind the player and incinerate the map because of the violence and terrifiying realism that it would bring. This raises the question:

Why wouldn't you make it realistic (as long as it's simple enough to be supported by the engine), if it's a war game? Isn't it supposed to be as realistic as possible? I feel that the horrors of war should be equally shown alongside the romance and glory of it all. If they can show sifting the heads of civilians with an M240, why not make the player (along with the rest of the map) be blinded and vaporised?

I supposed that you could say that some don't have the stomach to hear their player screaming in agony as he is vaporised (bringing up the question of why all the soldiers are dudes, not one chick to be found, huh). But then again, if you can't stand that, why can you stand shanking a guy, or shooting him in the face? To me it makes no difference, the dead are dead, you can't be anymore dead than anyone else.

And to another point, if you are playing an M-Level game, you should be able to bring your M-Level intestinal fortitude. The ESRB doesn't put that sticker on for show!

Double Tap to Make Sure They're Dead
Is it possible to get 2 nukes in one match? I think it would be, but I've never been able to test it. My guess is that it would be possible by: 1: Getting a nuke, but don't call it in. 2: Dying 3: Getting a second nuke, then call both in.

Does this work? --Master of cheeZ 17:21, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

It works but you can only call in one.


 * No. One of the methods of stopping boosters (By breaking their killstreak at a high number) works because the game ends when someone gets to a certain number of kills, regardless of the current score, which makes this impossible. Sgt. Jon Rose 09:30, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

If i get 2 nukes in 2nd prestige and then one more in 3er PRESTIGE in counts like 3 or only just one? beacause in watn the nuke emblem that is 10 nukes

That'll only count as 1. To get the emblem, you need to call in 10 nukes within ONE Prestige. Each you time you prestige, the challenge of obtaining 10 nukes is reset. I've managed 12 nukes overall, but never more than 5 in one prestige and still do not have the emblem. I'll do it when I get 10 :D The-Dreamcaster 09:24, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

"Ultimate Sacrifice" doesn't work on Demolition
I recently got my first tactical nuke on while playing Demolition on Sub base. Our team was losing when I called it in, but I didn't get the "Ultimate Sacrifice" challenge. I'm level 70 1st prestige. Darth Dan 012 02:24, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Nuke not a sure Win
Im not registered, so i jsut want to leave a comment on the nuke article.

When an opponent calls in a nuke, he jas not surely won the game. It happened to me in FFA. An opponent called in a nuke and during the countdownand i hit the score-limit. I won the game, but the nuke exploded, because i made the game winning kill at 0.5 sec. I dont know if i'ts patched now.

video
will someone please up load a new video. the 1 we have is really helpless and stinks
