I use it a lot b/c people in HC like to spam UAV's.  When they are throwing up 20 UAV's in a match, you need Assassin to survive.  Yes, I can easily kill them without it, but I play HC for the element of surprise.  No mini-map, no HUD.  You have to rely on ALL of your senses to get the kill. 

it is great to use on my shotgun classes with dead silence, makes it much easier to flank and sneek up on people. I also noticed that way too many people are to reliant on the mini map and are surprised when i get close to them for ohk's

Its a hot topic that many here can argue about (without insulting others) , without focusing on what it does I will look at what it doesn't do:

 

Does not make you invisible to the eye (only radar)

Does not make you silent

Does not help against air support

Does not improve accuracy,  speed or hand eye coordination

 

I use it allot because I prefer the attacking element of surprise, what does he mean? I flank allot in this game, if my team  is headed in one direction I am going the opposite, simply I seek and kill.

 

In conclusion, do not blame this perk for your errors, it forces the enemy to engage and to be quick with their hand eye coordination.

I pull out my "stealth" class ( silenced weapon, assassin pro, blind eye pro, and dead silence pro) when the enemy spam's the hell out of the uav other then that i don't have it on any of my other classes. I do love the cries after the match on how i suck because i won't let them see me on the map.

I use Assasain a lot when I'm not running specialist, and I only use it when I'm trying to move around the map more freely.

The thing I'll never understand is why camp with BE, Assasain and SitRep. If you're camping they're whole team is going to know where you are after you get one or two kills, why not use more helpful perks

The only reason I use Assassin Pro alot more is for Portable Radars.

UAV's don't bother me too much considering they can be taken out however seeing 3-4 players on the enemy team spread 3-4 portable radars all over the map can be frustrating especially when you are using a non-Assassin perk.

Players only hate on Assassin because their Support UAV/Assault UAV, portable baby monitors & HB sensors don't work.

*NOTE* MY RESPONSE IS NOT SHORT AND SWEET. GAME BALANCE IS NOT SIMPLE.

Just so we're all clear on one point people keep bringing up, every one always says something along the lines of 'you have to have good reactions'. This is not true and is physically impossible, as part of the human species almost no one has any deviation in reaction time, what little does devieate is not noticeable to anything but a computer. This has been proven over and over and over, if you want to debate this with me, I gladly welcome it and I will show you why you're wrong.

Assasin also makes you immune to EMP's, advanced UAV's, Heart Beat sensors and Portable Radar's.... Why, why does it need all of that, that is enough right there to make it OP. In every previous COD you had to use more than one perk to make you invisible to more than UAV. So why all of a sudden does one perk do as much as two used too, PLUS more on top of all that.

No, you're right, it doesn't make you silent and for good f*cking reason. If you honestly think that assasin not making you silent aswell is a good reason to back up your 'it's not OP' claim than you my friend, are the last person that should be chiming in on game balance.

In a couple ways assasin does help to make you invisible to the eye including thermal scopes and name plates. But the biggest issue with assasin is the eratic and unpredictable (at best) spawns, it makes the game waaaaay to unpredictable as well as all the super tight corners and halways etc.. of the map.

I've always played a lot of the time as a flanker in every COD, and I've never needed the assistance of the stealth perks to do it, so why do you? You don't! They make it so it's not even a challenge. Most players in this game are sh*t too and won't do things like watch flank routes, and they don't have situational awareness, so coming up behind a team is usually GG.

On an ending not, learn to play in other styles and other ways. Playing without assasin and silencer can do amazingly, use yourself as bait and move around the map accordingly. All my MOABS are unsilenced.
