Sticky nade ftw. I mean really where is the fun in modern warfare if I can’t plaster a one pound block of c4 to a soldier’s face and blow him to kingdom come?

Listed at $70 bucks Canadian on futureshop.com. SEVENTY. Think I’ll just play CoD4 until it hits the bargain bin.

Yeah, being good in pub games is no big deal. I tend to top the score board in pub games, but I wouldn’t describe myself as a good player at all. Now I used to get owned on CoD 2, but I was younger.

@Duckmeister: You say you own at cod4, well if you love perks I’m guessing you own at pub! Am I right?

All the competitive cod players I know would rather a game of cod4 with all perks/kill streaks firmly off.

I’ve called in many helicopters over my play time (funny, I’ve played days of CoD 4 MP, but it was fun in the same way manual labour can be, you get into a rhythm and you quite enjoy it but it doesn’t require any real skill, (to dominate the servers), and deep down you know it). Anyway, I diverge.

I’ve called in a lot of Helis but I’ve only ever got a few kills from them, they’re not very powerful at all, and I’ve rarely seen people killed other than on crowded servers or a few people caught by surprise. Fire or RPGs takes them down in about 10-20 seconds in my experience.

Also, I think that perhaps the play should be forced to take control of the vehicle if he calls it in (well, it may be unpopular so make a mode where it isn’t). It kills the play or leaves them defenceless and they take the gun seat of the air-support. Making it more powerful but it still feels like a big decision to call it in.

Would totally buy Day of Tanks.

I like to think so, anyway.

Optimaximal have you looked at the price shops are selling it at?

Maybe the person running the server should set the max numbers of players to the number the map is designed for.

@Duckmeister: not the point. In competitive settings or small servers, these things aren’t a huge problem to avoid (and they’re also a lot harder to earn); on a crowded server, tho, it’s pretty much inevitable that the airstrike will net you a chopper, and that the chopper will net you another 5-10 kills or even more.

Apparently none of you have ever been targeted by a helicopter and survived, or get missed by a bomb in an airstrike. I have, and it happens more frequently than you think.

The helicopter or air strike are much more likely to garner kills than crits, which can miss, whereas the heli couldn’t miss really, it just waited to tag you and in hard core that meant instant headshot death and the airstrike bombed whole quarters of maps. If TF2 crits obliterated so many players and were assured after so many kills to happen exactly when you want them to, then, I think we’d have a problem.

If they buy it at that price, it means they consider it worth it.
