hardline pro is worthless anymore

personally i think hardline pro is worthless due to the fact that they made the care package give a lower success rate on something good and the fact that in the strategy guide for this game says that if you use hardline pro to run with sam turret, care package, sentry gun so that you have a better chance of getting something with it but thats just me

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    This patch was made a LONG time ago.
    Guess what?
    I still use Hardline Pro. Love changing a Counter Spy Plane to a BlackBird...ah the BlackBird, best f*cking killstreak in all of CoD...

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    I still use hardline, but the pro is useless, especially since teammates consistently try to steal your crates, making you incapable of changing them.
    That, plus Hacker-Ghosts usually aren't far off, and they usually end up stealing and boobytrapping your crate.

    My former English teacher would be ashamed.

    Try using "Hardline Pro is worthless now" or "Hardline Pro is not useful anymore"

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    I really think that patching hardline pro was unnecessary, mainly because airdrop packages are the only killsstreak that can be stolen. I kill and steal enemy packages all the time, because I know that's the worst feeling in the game. I literally **** my pants when my airdrop is coming in soon and I see a red dot appear incoming.

    then again, running 4/5/6 killstreaks plus hardline pro was kind of cheap, especially with an organized team + one with hardline.

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    Spy Plane in two kills. That right there will net your whole team more kills than your little dogs or choppers. It might be worthless with a mememem train of thought, but with your team in mind it is still awesome Sam Turret in 3 kills. Again, that will help your team a lot more.

    Yep hardline pro is useless, until you see your teammate or enemy turn that ammo into dogs. Its all a matter of perspective

    ALL perks have its use in the proper context. You just have to be intelligent enough to realize such a thing.

    unless you're using second chance in a hardcore game. then you suck.

    there are no bad perks, just bad players.

    your tone is not ok. your point is, though. There are plenty of better rewards imaginable, that still fit the "least attractive" category.

    nice idea, should we now be in beta and should the game be scheduled for a 2011 release.

    Actually ammo can become quite useful. I get another piece of equipment and because i got more ammo i managed to get my highest streak of the game with my PSG1 before. Again it is all a matter of opinion and timing. The care package is a gamble, if it wasn't there would be little use for the napalm strike option instead.

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    ammo is garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    5 kill streak...................ammo wth

    i get made if i get 5kills and its a SPY PLANE......but AMMO!? USELESS!

    i had a 20 sometin kill streak one time and i had went through 3 rifles... MINE, 1 of the dudes i kiled, and another random gun on the floor

    there times where im in a fight, and  i don't reload, i just grab another gun,  then i go back and find my gun, **** sometimes just cause people pisss me off (cause they kill me yes lol) i use their own gun until i see them, so they know "that motha fugga's usin my gun!)

    that alone right there shows how USELESS AMMO IS
    why would you defend it "its usefull, help me get my next killstreak""
    thats a dumb reasoning too btw...

    i say do my 1st idea
    and the grim reaper and death machine should stay with you until you waste all its bullets.....or untils its red

    they should put it on the guns list we can use, and just make them a lil pricing, less accurate or longer reload or mobility be like 1 square lol

    cause honestly death machine isn't fun cause you kill with it, its fun when you just shoot it, and i guaratee if you make death machine a weapon with shitty accuracy, and shitty mobility, people will still use it, .............cause all we're goign to do is hold the trigger down and scream "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and shoot EVERYTHING lol

    me for 1 i'll write my name in the walls haha

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    Maybe you should get ammo with every care package as a bonus on top of a cool killsteak reward?

    Most of the people that stay alive for prolonged periods of time would run scavenger anyway wouldn't they?

    In almost every team based match I play in, the shout "Has anyone got their Hardline Pro on" goes out. The perk is a winner IMO. I think they throw ammo in there sometimes as a wind up. It's like the bad guy in every soap opera. Hardly anyone likes them but they are a;ways there...

    I won't disect your whole statement as i can't really be bothered. But i will step up to this comment.

    I snipe, where exactly will i find another sniper rifle to pick up? Same could be said for people with specific weapon set-ups. My motion sensor has been destroyed and i have no spotter, ammo gives me another motion sensor. Yes it is the weakest of the options that you can recieive but that is the risk you take equiping the care package.

    Does your whole argument about ammo being useless also prioritise hardline pro for yourself?

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    ammo wasn't a problem before.......but i think its gay now considering they lowered the successrate........im only hating on ammo cause its like they lowreed your successrate, but raised the SHITTY rate times 10

    the other day i got 5 ammo crates......................i mean every care package i got was AMMO and even someone else had a care package and when i ran by it, it was AMMO thats 6 ammo crates........and im a ok player, i get 1 package every game, and 3-4 if im on fire....

    thats alot of ******* ammo and thats STUPID

    its like treyarch is saying "if you go care packge you must go HARDLINE" fawk that, why should we have too, we should be able to go scavanger or something without having to wrory "IS IT AMMO I HOPE NOT I HOPE NOT I HOPE NOT"

    so stupid...............

    your sniping comment makes sense but.........your not tryin to see what im saying......

    if i say im goign toe to toe with someone and i don't reload i pick up another gun, that means i go and HUNT i run around and i like to PWNED

    thatts how 1st person shooters should be played.....thats why (random comment) people complain about bringing back quick scope, cause it takes more skill to quick scope, and you can still be in the game runnin and gunnin.... it takes skill to think faster, to react, to read the other person.......example!!!!!!!!!!!

    this has happen to me alot

    i kill a guy with mac10 the thing has 20 bullets its damage is gay so after 1 kill you have like 10 bullets left, after next kill 0

    so this happens, i kill a guy, i kill a guy, i know more are in the area some how so i take the guys gun i killed, bam KILL another guy, that guns low, take next persons gun, bam 1 or 2 more guys show i kill them........ once its clear, i reload everything make sure im good..........

    on top of that, thats a care packge? (just thought of this) AFTER ALL THAT WORK YOU DID THE THING SAYS (ammo) i just killed 5 guys when i needed fawking ammo, and now i GET AMMO and i did all that work and i get AMMO!!!!!!!!!! WTF MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......................in your situation your not trying, you just sit there, behind your 5-6 other teammates, waiting chillin, probably drinking your soda with your other hand, reading a book until someone runs by your crosshairs BAM, you wait again.........probably using ghost with a supressor i derno, i don't use psg1.... but anywho, in your case yea ammos ok cause you didn'tjust almost get ganged raped by 5 guys rushing you......

    I won't disect your whole statement as I can't really be bothered. But i will say that there are kids running around with L9's in every match I play in.

Well no of course not, they are running around with them as if they are a Shotty or an SMG doing the BOps version of a quickscope...

    Also your flip question about having an equal measure debate is redundant, rude and condescending...

    another motion sense O_o ammo does that....awesome lol

    did'nt know that.......

    imma put a post about this but....why do yall like motion sensors?

    i think it sucks.....its radius is small, and you only see the dot when the circle spreads out which takes 1-2 seconds, and it doesn't show the red dot moving, it just shows where it was...and to me motion sense just lets you know "your gonna die in 2 seconds which is already up BYE BYE"

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    i like how you try to sound smart, while talking about a video game, to someone you hardly know who is bothering you

    dude and quick scoping isn't the same
    theres videos on you tube proving such, and i mean instructional videos ....ha.... sorry think its funny instructional sniping vids X_x

    anywho, so, when you aim without SCOPE, you can still hit where the hip crosshairs are, but once you scope, your scope crosshair is off..........thus slows down your quick scoping cause you have to drag your crosshair over your target.....it adds more time for someone to just point and shoot at you.....

    and i see a couple guys tryin to quick scope, i myself love to try and quick scope.......but even when i hardscope, the **** doesn't register.......you can be right on the guy, 3rd scoped in, you can see the details of the computer art of the guy your aiming at, and when you fire, no register........

    but i see people laying in grass, alot! with ghost mang...lol espically in big maps, in small maps you can't really sit and snipe, cause you get busted hella quick and usually the guys you shoot, put a target on you cause they want revenge >=]

    Motion sensors used cleverly can give you some counter towards the Ghost perk. They are also very useful for defending an objective in game types like HQ for example...

    On top of that you can use them as a decoy i.e. place them upstairs in a building when you see a couple of guys are using Hacker Pro to pull the in like moths to a flame...

    I place them on top of or next to the HQ target when I am close by it. They very often draw fire from opponents which distracts them and gives their location away to any team mate in the area...

    Also you can warn the team mate that is guarding a particular entrance to a room of incoming even if you have been smoked out...

    Motion sensors can see through walls and are essentially a local radar that CAN see ghosts...

    The only way to avoid detection by a motion sensor is by running Hacker Pro...

    I hope that helps you see some use for them  

    Used properly they will get you more kills and save your life more times than a Claymore (my equipment choice for non objective game types)...

    You answered your own question here then ranted on without thinking further.

    The fact you choose care package but don't pick hardline is your own decision, you are not forced to do it but it helps if you do. I am not forced to use scout but if i have a problem with lining up my shots quickly i wouldn't come on here complaining about it, i would just use scout. The fact you choose not to use hardline but use a care package is your own decision and you must accept responsability for the benifits you have lost.

    The problem is choice (matrix FTW)

    and your now complaining about the fact you have made the wrong one in this instance.

    In terms of the percentages for the killstreaks TA had to change them to provide priority on achieving hardline pro and also to keep Hardline pro balanced so not every man and his dog were getting good killstreaks with ease. This game is less about killstreaks and more about killing, stop complaining about what is essentially just a bonus, if i came along and gave you £5 free would you complain that it was not £10? Your reward for killing is, well, getting closer to the victory in TDM or FFA or in objective modes stopping that enemy from helping their team.

    Yes it may have been but i just don't think the man is looking hard enough for the answers he requires himself and isn't listening as much as he could to the answers being provided. Maybe i over stepped the mark, if i did i appologise. I don't mean to cause offence and will edit my previous post, can't say fairer then that.

    To be honest i still come across very few other sniper rifles in game, we may play in different realities if you come across them because i really don't and i'm quite particular with my set-ups. And i am the one actually sniping as it happens, rifle used as intended 

    Also motion sensors are very useful spotters for true snipers

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    omg your an *******, sorry =]

    um, 1 scout doesn't help you aim faster, you just get bigger lungs
    and you can switch to your pistol/launcher faster.................gay

    anywho, carepackage was fine before, btw respawn mishinima did a study on CARE PACKAGES before the fawked with it........

    they joined ground war, and he had lik 7 of his friends team up with him, so it was him and 7 friends in ground war, they all got hardline pro and care packages....and he didn't fire 1 bullet infact he just stayed in spawn all game waiting, what his friends did was everytime they got a care package they would drop it in spawn for HIM to open and since he had hardline pro he would change each package if it was gay

    he got like over 20 different killstreaks from all the package.....he got 1 chopper gunner

    he got like 2 naplams, 1 bomber
    he got like 3 motrers, he got a couple spy planes......

    but no dogs, no hind, 1 black bird...i think.....no cobra..... i mean he even talks about it while he plays saying that care package + hardline doesn't really give you good things as often as you like...

    now they changed it and its even worst!??!?!!??! thats stupid...

    but also im not complaning about care package not giving me GOOD ****, but i rather it be usefull, i wouldn't be mad if one day i got 2000 spy planes, at least i get some bonus points for it, and it can be help ful............mabye lol

    but ammo is useless..........and you don't get points for opening it..... and i shouldn't have to go hardline PRO just to have a lil better successrate of gettin a spy plane or something....

    they should at least make it wehre care package only go 5 and up kill streaks, and hell who cares if its a sentry gun 20 times in a row, i mean its work to get 5 kills and up. espically on these small maps.

    killstreaks to me though aren't just there to make the game easier, its a way of giving you a reward saying "your doing good homie keep it up"

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    but you can't see your mini map when your scoping =\

    i think radio jammer is better.............odd huh

    see, i love radar..........NOT cause red dots, if they took out spy planes or NOISE (red dots) i could still play the game and do good, infact that be awesome!!!!! we'd all become better players COUNTER SPY PLANE and RADIO JAMMERS I HATE ......heres why

    lets say we're playing but no spy planes allowed, and red dots don't come.....when enemy shoots...

    but im still able to get a sense where the enemies could be by noticing the green arrows, how they're grouped, where they're facing, if they're still moving, if they're stopped, if they're on one stide of the map, which direciton there all facing etc etc etc

    at least with my teammates positioning, i get a sense of "i think i know where the enemy's coudl be or will be"

    but with counter spy plane and radar jammer ARGH i can't SEE ANYTHING so im like "shoot gotta stay 100% focused, stay low, and near objects just in case i need to take cover...

    puts me on alert mode times 10!

    omg your an *******, sorry =]

    um, 1 scout doesn't help you aim faster, you just get bigger lungs
    and you can switch to your pistol/launcher faster.................gay

    anywho, carepackage was fine before, btw respawn mishinima did a study on CARE PACKAGES before the fawked with it........

    they joined ground war, and he had lik 7 of his friends team up with him, so it was him and 7 friends in ground war, they all got hardline pro and care packages....and he didn't fire 1 bullet infact he just stayed in spawn all game waiting, what his friends did was everytime they got a care package they would drop it in spawn for HIM to open and since he had hardline pro he would change each package if it was gay

    he got like over 20 different killstreaks from all the package.....he got 1 chopper gunner

    he got like 2 naplams, 1 bomber
    he got like 3 motrers, he got a couple spy planes......

    but no dogs, no hind, 1 black bird...i think.....no cobra..... i mean he even talks about it while he plays saying that care package + hardline doesn't really give you good things as often as you like...

    now they changed it and its even worst!??!?!!??! thats stupid...

    but also im not complaning about care package not giving me GOOD ****, but i rather it be usefull, i wouldn't be mad if one day i got 2000 spy planes, at least i get some bonus points for it, and it can be help ful............mabye lol

    but ammo is useless..........and you don't get points for opening it..... and i shouldn't have to go hardline PRO just to have a lil better successrate of gettin a spy plane or something....

    they should at least make it wehre care package only go 5 and up kill streaks, and hell who cares if its a sentry gun 20 times in a row, i mean its work to get 5 kills and up. espically on these small maps.

    killstreaks to me though aren't just there to make the game easier, its a way of giving you a reward saying "your doing good homie keep it up"



    Simple solutions then

    If you hate carepackage % drop rates either: Don't use carepackages or equip hardline pro to help.

    I never said scout helped me aim faster but rather helps to aquire a target more precisely as i only snipe and scout provides the additional time needed. The pro version i believe is one of the best pro's in the game. You say it's useless when i pull out an automatic as fast as i pull out a pistol when i see you.

    The reward for doing well is helping the team win (or yourself in FFA), not getting the killstreak. If the only reward for you is the killstreak then you do not care about the team and this is rather selfish.

    As for percentage drop by experiment you would need a lot more to accurately identify the chances and with most surveys the more data (sample size in this case) you have, the more accurate the results become.

    I won't disect your whole statement as I can't really be bothered. But i will say that there are kids running around with L9's in every match I play in. Are they ghosting in the long grass and hardscoping? I hear you ask. Well no of course not, they are running around with them as if they are a Shotty or an SMG doing the BOps version of a quickscope...

    Also your flip question about having an equal measure debate is redundant, rude and condescending...



    Yes it may have been but i just don't think the man is looking hard enough for the answers he requires himself and isn't listening as much as he could to the answers being provided. Maybe i over stepped the mark, if i did i appologise. I don't mean to cause offence and will edit my previous post, can't say fairer then that.

    To be honest i still come across very few other sniper rifles in game, we may play in different realities if you come across them because i really don't and i'm quite particular with my set-ups. And i am the one actually sniping as it happens, rifle used as intended 

    Also motion sensors are very useful spotters for true snipers 

    I'm sorry Ball ache, I should have edited my post. I was actually addressing Dork...

    I agree with everything you have said in this thread...

    How do you do? Pleased to meet you Sir

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    dude stop calling me a dork...............ha j/k anywho

    but you shoudln't have to adjust perks, to kill streaks, if kill streaks is there to just help you and your team......

    saying "use hardline if you hate care packages" thats like saying "if you use a chopper, cobra, or hind, use flankjacket for added protection"

    i use care package cause, i like random killstreaks to pop up
    spy plane awesome should help us
    counter - i like this killstreak but i also hate it...haha
    rc-xd, - like
    sam turret - like
    sentry - like etc etc all the killstreaks are usefull, ammo isn't though, and the whole study thing............STUPID

    i understand what your saying you have to have like a placebo kinda test going on to really see if **** works but

    come on, out of 6 care package, back to back...all ammo? and im assuming players are like me with care package, if your out running and gunning, your not gonna use your carepackage then and there your gonna go to a safe location, which i notice is SPAWN cause your team is fighting the enemy and meeting at a center point....

    so what i do is i wait till i die, or i look on my radar to see if my team is hudled up and fighting away from me meaning possibily the enemy is around them...... so again why AMMO?
    i mean myself and probably others wait till we die and drop care packages near spawn, so its safe to retrieve, but if its ammo......and you just died..........

    lets put it this way

    reasons why ammo is utterly useless...
    1. guns everywhere
    2. some guns you can retrieve ammo now if its the same gun
    3. when retirving a package, possibily everyone waits till their back at spawn, meaning they also wait till they die, to use a care package thus your start over with new fresh ammo


    why is nobody backing me up, espically when the title says hardline sucks now lol

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    no one agrees.....wow the cod community is brain dead then.

    i don't use 2 guns cause the switch time is SLOW compared to switching to a pistol

    also i like using pistol cause i run faster with it.......do you guys not know this?

    i love when it says "5 .4 3 2 1 and i go to pistol and rush faster and make it to spots faster than others" saves times

    and dude i don't run out of ammo and go "ok time to kill myself" you nooblar

    i keep running and gunning, using everyones gun like in my first POST besides, it better to take other peoples weapons cause its a challenge (G warefare)  and besides people don't use stupid guns.....

    usually when i play i can tell what guns people are shooting me with so when i kill them, i know if i should grab it or not, and if your in a heavy fire fight ANY GUNS GOOD better than whatyou got now (no ammo) lol

    but even if im not in a heavy fire fight, i look around and go shopping "famas eh....mp5k eh.......aug with gernade launcher mabye.....crossbow ehhhh ak ok i'll mess with that"

    ammo crates are uselses cause you don't need it!  you save time picking up a gun...........than lookin for a spot, throwing the smoke, waiting for the dam chopper to come, waiting for it to drop, waitin to open it........

    not to mention you rworried someones spotted you on mini map, cause your using hardline so your a big FAT RED DOT NEXT TO THE BIG RED BOX after their radio says "ENEMY CARE PACKAGE INCOMING"....

    on top fo that you open a ammo crate you get nothing....

    at least with other packages you get 100+ for using it, then you get another 100 - 300 depending on the kill streak.....

    also the whole "picking upa gun with random attatchments"

    does red dot reflex, acog or any of these mess with you? they're design to improve your gun..... and if you don't ilke it pick up another...

    extended mags, duel mags, gernade launcher etc etc these don't mess with the gun itself...so why is it a problem sometimes i bet you guys laugh like i do when you see a goofy color/tag name and attatchments like "WTH was this guy thinking?"

    what i think should be done to better this game is 1 kill streak and its care package, and make it back to the old successrate, and the game will be a lil more random and fun, cause ya never know what you gonna get =D

    Re: hardline pro is worthless anymore
    Your just not listening im afraid.

    yes the ammo may not help you in-game but your feelings towards the subject are different from others.

    Your issues are down to your own choices made and not down to the in game situation, if you make different choices it may solve your problem but create others for you which is why you don't make them, this is the opportunity cost (trade off) the games balance design is based around. You can't ask the game to solve a problem you can solve on your own just because you choose not to use their solution as you require another benifit.

    I really think that patching hardline pro was unnecessary, mainly because airdrop packages are the only killsstreak that can be stolen. I kill and steal enemy packages all the time, because I know that's the worst feeling in the game. I literally **** my pants when my airdrop is coming in soon and I see a red dot appear incoming.

    then again, running 4/5/6 killstreaks plus hardline pro was kind of cheap, especially with an organized team + one with hardline.
