A day to remember...

so I consider myself a pretty decent player. im at 10 prestige and have a 1.99 KD. Even with this I could not ever get a M.O.A.B. The closest I had ever been had been 1 kill away. I couldnt get the other kill because the game of kill confirm ended. Talk about frustration. Hours of gameplay passed until today in a match of kill confirm in resistance. I felt I was dominating, killing everything that crossed my way and right when the game needed one more kill confirm to end, I got it. as soon as it happened I tried to activate it but it was too late, the game had ended. I  was confused! Does that even count? I asked several friends and all I got was a bunch of mixed answers. " dude, you did the hard part, it counts!" "It doesnt count, the point of getting a MOAB is dropping it and kiling pepole with it" I felt both answers had a point and came to the conclusions that I really couldnt say I officialy got a MOAB. I decided to at least feel satisfied of getting enough kills for one.

 

So feeling a little upset I kept playing not helping but feel melancholic. exactly 4 matches later I found  mysel playing in Interchange. I took it as a normal game until I noticed I had all perks and was on a pretty decent streak. From 10 I went to 15 and I started thinking there was no way I could get another MOAB only four matches after failing at one. After knowing I was past 20 kills I was so freakin determined to get it even if there was only 1 more confirm to end the game AGAIN! I killed the last 4 guys without grabbing a tag and bingo!  I had the MOAB! I prayed for no one to get a tag and my prayers were answered, I finally dropped it guys... right beore the game ended

 

So my questions for you guys are...

 

1.  Have you gotten a MOAB?

 

2. How did you feel when you got it and how did you get it?

 

3. Do you find them easy to get? if not, are you still trying to get one?

 

 

Thanks for reading guys. I hope you give me some feedback. I really want to hear your stories.

    Congratulations on your M.O.A.B. I still haven't had the pleasure of dropping one on the enemy team. When I finally get one, I hope I don't react like the people in this video.

    "Set your ego to the side and just get the f*ck over it"

     

    I got several when the game first came out. Every I got one it felt amazing as I never even came close to one in MW2.

     

    With the Mk14 and Specialist I had no problem pre patch 1.08. After that patch though I haven't gotten one

     

    Since then I stopped trying, I just don't care as with all the boosters and spawn trapping/killing MOABs aren't anything special anymore

    Re: A day to remember...

    I've gotten 5 or 6 of them. The ones I remember most are my first 2. The first was on FFA Lockdown with specialist strike package, went flawless. The second one was on Bakaara, kill confirmed, also with a specialist strike package, no biggie but that was with a MK46 pre-patch. That gun is so underrated.

     

    Now that I think about it though, another one was a MOAB with a USAS going assault strike package, that was an unexpected one.

     

    Anyway, every time I got one wasn't because I'm so good or skilled or whatever, it was because I was on the good side of lag for once, the enemy team wasn't very good AND my team (except the one in FFA) was doing really good with UAV's etc.

     

    Pro tip: stay away from your teammates when trying to get a MOAB, they always get me killed by 1)running into me which causes me to lag and 2)going around shooting like a madman, attraction attention from the enemies.

    Re: A day to remember...

    I've never gotten one but haven't ever really tried.  I don't think I have the patience, as you have to become more and more campy in the end to ensure you don't die.  The highest killstreak I've gotten is 19, I believe.  More props to you and everyone else for getting one!! 

     

    IMO, they are over rated and normally aquired in CORE OBJECTIVE matches where the person hardly plays the objective and only goes for kills.  If I did that then I would loose the match and I go for the W not K/D ratio.  Been in plenty of matches where the enemy called in a MOAB but still lost the match, what is the point??

    Never gotten a MOAB. Maybe got up to 19 or 20 kills but that's it.

     

    I'm trying to go in baby steps. I've been getting Reapers pretty easily lately, and I'm finally getting AC-130s again. I'mma move that goal up the an Osprey, and once those become regular, I'll try for the MOAB.
