it's not hard to track down and shoot said AUAV or UAV out of the sky. Stinger + hardline + Fun!

I get a laugh when I read these forums.  All these little babies cry about this and that because thats what they die from and want to taylor the game so they can have a perfect KDR and 100% accuracy.  Maybe COD should take out all lag comp, give us all 1 gun, no perks, no gun perks and unlimited maps... wait.. someone will still complain about something... crybabies.

Good post to the OP!

Simple solution - don't put in killtreaks that show people up on the maps. Then cold blooded/ghost/assassin wouldn't be in the game and people wouldn't moan about it

  Sure if you want to make a camp fest, oh wait it already is.

My thoughts are it should not counter CUAV and EMP. If anything Blast Shield Pro should protect you from EMP's and since CUAV's can be shot down no need for anyone to be immune to them.

As for Assassin being watered down version of Ghost. Kinda, kinda not.

The only thing Ghost had over it was KS protection, Sentry Protection, and a Ghillie Suit.

Well Assassin protects against CUAV's, EMP's, and doesn't show on HB sensors and Portable Radars.

Ghost didn't have to worry about HB sensors and EMP's because they were not in BLOPs but Ghost didn't protect against the motion sensor which is basically the portable radar of MW3. If you wanted protection from all forms of being detected by equipment or KS, you needed Hacker Pro and Ghost Pro. Also Ghost didn't protect you from CUAV's, infact the only way to really counter a BlackBird was to put of a Counter-Spyplane.

People act as if the being targeted by air-support was a big part of assassin not being OP because you need Blind-Eye to be just as good. But I rarely see people who run assassin and Blind-Eye. Why? Because in MW3 all the maps have enough cover to avoid KS's.

The unbalanced part of Assassin, besides the fact all the perks in its tier don't compare, is that it lets you be invisible to HB sensors and portable radars. If they just moved the portable radar protection to another perk like maybe SitRep Pro then it would be fine.

Also maybe make Marksmen Pro counter the no red name or crosshairs of Assassin Pro.

Nice post. I confess I didnt read it all, but I skimmed a good bit of it. I think half the time people complaining about Ghost/Assassain/etc. are just parroting the youtube pubstars that get upset when people dont appear on their portable radars. Or dont get killed by their KS. So they B*tch in their videos, and children repeat it. Just my 2 cents. I use Blind eye + Assassain personally. Its so easy to get KS in this game, its senseless to die needlessly when you can slap on a perk and avoid it, especially in my preferred game mode (KC) where deaths matter. With the support package, you now see spy planes more than ever, as you dont even need to be able to throw together a streak to get one.
