who thinks the heli should come before the airstrike?

[Cappy7]

Noooo, that would be crazy, because the helicopter goes crazy, it's really powerful, and to put that before the airstrike, that'll make it that much powerful.

[Ajreag]

i totally agree!! the help is really anoing at some point when you have it, but it is blocking your new killstreaks because someones help is around... -.- but when the help would be before the airstrike you would have kind of the same problem... the help would kind of block your airstrike unless you get a 7 killstreak just with guns

[Your-killer]

Yes i say they resolve this problem of killsteaks on the others cod.. But it's really annoying to get two or three airstrike that you can't use because you are waiting for using your heli...

[hUnI]

if you are lucky Heli is more effective in my opinion, my experience on the Pipeline is 8-10 kill with the Heli. Advice call the Heli when the re spam is close to you ( if is available )

[krosan]

My 2c:

 

A single airstrike once got me 16 kills on the hardcore server, I can't imagine that happening with a chopper.

So yes, airstrikes are OP on publics, but so are nubtubes and p90, and those are also still allowed. So I don't see a reason to switch the default setup.

 

One more thing: it would make it for me personally much easier to rape faces on the pubs if heli would come in front of strikes, let me explain why:

 

If you have 5 kills, you have to watch out not making any more kills or you'll lose the airstrike and get a useless chopper. When you do get that chopper, you're stuck with it since you have to wait for a slot to open up and spam that 5-button with pistol (pro tip btw, pistol spams faster).

If you put airstrike after chopper, that would be sick as I'd just rage on to get as many kills as possible, never having to take a break or control the fury.

I'd ignore the chopper as you'd have to wait anyway and go for the strike right away, every time I spawn I would have a strike ready.

And then the rape can really start:

 

1) Get airstrike by killing regularly

2) Die

3) Call in airstrike, get around 4 to 6 kills

4) Kill additional guys until you get airstrike (if the first airstrike didn't get you another airstrike already) and die as fast as possible

5) Call in airstrike again

6) Go on forever

 

This tactic would mean superrape. Not advised if you want to keep noobs coming back to your server

If you put heli before air strike, everyone will get heli and then camp for heli to get 2 kills and then get airstrike

[B1gM1k3]

on our server the heli is totally useless. I usually shoot it down with my pistol! In the case of how our heli is damaged VERY easily I would say the airstrike is more effective. OR might I suggest that we increase the damage needed to shoot down a heli?

I wish that Activision would have made the Helo a separate keystroke than the AS, and that once you get them you keep them until used.

And I wish the game could cue them up once you keystroke it in. When your time comes up you have 5 seconds to set the point or it goes away.

That would have been nice.

I hate that when you are trying to get your AS done, you have to actually hide and stop playing until you get it in. Otherwise you may kill

two more guys and lose it. That sucks for me.

In my personal experience, I have had more Helicopter kills then Airstrike kills. You would think otherwise, but as someone posted earlier:

 

 

I often get just one kill..... me. Who trained those pilots?

[daBroviest]

Heli is weaker in hardcore mode because bullets do more damage than normal mode. Players don't have less health, bullets do more damage.

[jaie]

heli in hardcore mode pwns everyone - onceit targets you, there's no escape

[CookieMonsta]

I also agree with ++UAdave.

I usually get 5 and more kills with an airstrike especially if there's a uav.

Then with that I get more airstrikes! It only works when theres a lot of players though.

My heli gets shot down with 0 kill.

I actually like this idea of how they did it. If they were queued like in MW2 and 3, everyone and their grandma has killstreaks 24/7. It just gets crazy. There would be constant UAV the entire game. and for Hardcore modes, it wouldn't make it too much fun. It adds another subtle difficulty to the gameplay. Wait for your AS or continue on and risk losing it for a Heli.

[EnderWiggin]

Airstrike has thrill factor but helicopter is "slow and steady wins the race." I think the heli is appropriate coming after the airstrike.

[PiNoY]

under a small number of players, airstrike could not be a funny advantage but on a busy server, it's an adre to get one or more, keeps u warm.

 

i no like heli.
