Is anyone going to use the AC130 in MW3?

The AC130, high as it is, was and still is my favorite killstreak of all time. I've never laid hands on a nuke but you've got to admit - blowing the hell out of someone with that 105mm... whew it was a blast! (no pun intended)
Will you guys still try for it, with all the changes made to the game?
im going to try it along with all other pointstreaks to get a feel to them to see which ones i like the most
It will be pretty hard, considering there's no harriers for cheap kills and it was bumped up a kill... all the more challenging for us then!
AC-130 is boss. Even if they nerfed the hell out of all explosives in the game, there is no way you could make the AC-130 into, say, a single engine cessna with a front mounted machine gun. AC-130 will **** as it always has, and I will be the one controlling it.
Yup, i sure am, 1 kill isn't much of a difference and i hope the way they announced that someone had an ac-130 in air is kept the same. If you were on the enemy team while an ac-130 was called in, it could make you sh*t your pants.
P.S anyone else enjoy the way it was announced in MW2
I never liked it, so nah.
I'm not sure to be quite honest. I didn't really use the AC-130 that much. Just stuck to the Predator, Harrier and Pave Low combo back in MW2.
In MW3, I can see more players using the Reaper Drone over the AC-130 as it's a 9 poinstreak compared to a 12 pointstreak AC-130.
The Reaper sounds good, but considering it's just a Drone, it will probably be shot down as easily as a standard UAV? I can't see it lasting very long if that's the case tbh
Yea, I was going to mention that.
Since pointstreaks stack in the Assault Package, I can see "slayers" using this setup to get their AC-130:
Attack Helicopter (if it's better than the MW2 Attack Helicopter) or Predator Missile
Reaper
AC-130
From what I've read, the Reaper can hold 5 missiles which more than enough to get them to their AC-130.
(Correct me if I'm wrong if it doesn't hold 5 missiles, COD Wiki states that it holds 5 missiles)
As you said before, the Reaper most likely won't contain flares and could be shot down easily via Sam Turrets or Stingers/Javelins.
I think it holds 14 missiles, in that video you linked to look at the bottom right.
Also the UAV in MW2 could be shot down using bullets as well, took less than one magazine. I wonder if it will be the same in MW3, hope it is ![]()
Haha, my bad. Didn't notice it. ![]()
Definitely a beast of a pointstreak nevertheless.
Funny story but the first time I heard UAV's could be shot down by your assault rifle in MW2 was a couple of weeks ago watching a xCal commentary.
LOL ! 120 killstreak to get the controllable Reaper with tactical Geths airdrops !
^This. Just drop a bunch of geth AI inside predator missiles and a god damn reaper. 120 assault kill streak? XD Get a 60 KS with specialist and you become commander shepard, and is the only way to counter it?
LMAO that would be awesome and funny, definitely gonna tell IW and SH so they can team up with Bioware ![]()
Tweet it to fourzerotwo ![]()
Yes I will be camping for my AC-130, sorry I mean tactically hiding
Of course! Ground war....Predator....Reaper....AC130! I'd be scared if I was the other team... XD
There's a couple of new screenshots of the AC130 from Campaign here:

Notice on the 105mm it says "AMMO: 1:1" and on the 40mm it says "AMMO 1:12". Do you think the multiplayer AC130 will have limited ammo this time around? Afterall they have been talking a lot about rebalancing the killstreaks
That is a good idea. Of course if you get an AC-130 your going to bomb the **** outta someone but with limited ammo you actually have to use your ammo tacticaly
If that prevent my a$s from being spammed with 40mm and 105mm... then it's ok for me !
But let's be honest, an actual AC130 carries way more than one 105mm and way way more than thirteen 40mm... ![]()
I know, I know, you guys are gonna tell me "stfu it's a game !" and I'd say "yeah you're right !" so don't lose your time writing this ^^
I think there should be a few more bullets than that, at least 5 105mm and like 20 40mm
Yeah I'm gonna use it, but depending on which map, if I play on a basically indoor map then the answer is no.
if im play tdm i might use it but since i mostly play objective game i will be using the support package
AC1......what? i don't know what you mean, if you mean faggedy-ass plane then no, i've never used it as a killstreak.
I often just use the spy-plane-pred miss-harrier combo, i like it xD
Short answer: DAMN STRAIGHT
Reason: After being deployed to Afghan and getting to watch the AC130 videos while they were blowing their **** up, it was simply amazing. The similarities between the game and real life is very close. Only difference: in the real footage, the enemies were a whole lot clearer, and I had the satisfaction of knowing some terrorists were getting blown the **** up for real!
Oh and of course how many bullets the AC130s carry. Along with all the different types of ammo. I loved seeing them set it to explode ~15 feet above the ground and hitting a group of terrorists running away in... terror. Smoke clears... nothing.... motionless... Just the way I like it.
I also play the game for fun, as it was meant to be played for. And the AC130 is the most fun killsteak by far.
Why would you use the 12 KS AC-130 when you can use the Reaper which gets more kills than the AC-130 and is only a 9 KS?
Who cares about kills? I believe I speak for most of us when I say you can't be more satisfied than to see that mighty 105mm bear down on some poor sap and just blow them to smitherenes. It's just a terrible thing to control, and that's what makes it fun.
I want both.
9 Kills by kills and/or objectives only? Unless you're going for a Predator, you're aiming a bit high, aren't you?
