    What I see is a work around with Assasin being used to put a shotgun on as your secondary weapon like they were in MW2. The recent change to shotguns as a primary in this game and in Black Ops makes them used less, but I can see them being used alot more with this perk.

    Assassin and Blind Eye are not OP. You all seem to be forgetting that you must use up 2 of 3 perks to obtain that “Invincible” status. So they can’t be seen on the mini map. Can you seriously not kill someone if you can’t see them on the mini map? Are you really that bad that as soon as you get a 3 killstreak, you have to know everyone’s whereabouts on the map? Seems like you would be terrible at hardcore because you have to find people and only get a 30 second uav if earned. If people use assassin, yes they won’t suffer from you being able to see them on the mini map but bullets still do the same amount of damage whether they have that perk or not. And if they use blind eye, well then they are giving up sleight of hand or scavenger, two well used perks in the last 2 games. If you really want to complain about that 3 killstreak not finding people on your mini map, then you need to get better at the game. Watch some of the COD XP gameplay videos and see how many people show up on the mini map. That really proves who was using this “Over Powered” combo. Considering at least 5 out of 6 people were shown, I don’t see the overpowering of this perk or these perks. Will I run assassin? Yes and no. I like all the perks in the 2nd tier so I am not sure which I will prefer, but I say we stop bitching about our 3 kill streak being useless and step up our gaming and kill people by finding them without the uav, so that way they will realize theyre wasting that slot for something more useful, like Sleight of Hand pro and Overkill.

    The perks I will use are:
    1)Scavenger
    2)Assassin
    3)Dead Silence

    I chose Assassin because campers will not be able to sense you with their heartbeat sensor attatchment.
    That is my opinion.

    i dont see the problem with assassin yea its not a good perk for the game but i would rather use every other perk in that slot because they are all so much better. Even with assassin they wont be as good cuz they dont have any other good perks really.

      Sleight of Hand (SWAP WEAPON FASTER)

      Dead Silence is another reason to justify my $230 Astro A40′s :D

    Assassin will NOT be overpowered, simply because other desirable perks are also in that class. Also, Assassin completely depends on Blind Eye to be effective against a “killstreak whore” as where support strike packages will not always have a UAV in their killstreaks. Also, we don’t even know how profoundly hard it will be to get Assassin pro, so EMP can “slow them down. I’m sorry UnrumoredSpartan, but you just didn’t think this through. You just assumed that EVERYONE will use Assassin. Me, personally, I’m using SoH, Quickdraw, adn probably Stalker. If you ever message fourzerotwo because you saw that, don’t be surprised when Assassin is exactly the same as it says on this page.

    • Bobbepal
      October 18, 2011 at 23:20 |

      Still= Remove UAV from the game, assasin not needed…CHECK!
      UAV are designed for blind kids with 0 brains. And the skill to max take out 3 peeps without dying.
      Earning a entire team with a overpowered boost of sight. Its like using wallhack, just from above…roofhack…

      Who thinks UnrmoredSpartan should learn to spell “Balance” before reposting the same message 3 times?

      How about you also have some faith in the developers as I’m sure that they’re aware of the implications of what they’ve put in the final version of the game.

      You think these people got to where they are today by ruining beloved titles?

      If you want to have control over what’s actually put in the game, why not put all your ideas together and make your own game?

      However, you make it sound so simple I’m sure you can just walk into a Lead Designer role on the video gaming world’s most famous and popular IP.

      Make your “difference” by shutting the hell up and bothering people with your innane opinions.

        September 6, 2011 at 19:25 |

        first of all, you just downgraded me because i spelled balance wrong when a dipshit like you spelled “insane” wrong!, um i believe it is not innane? and excuse me for trying to help out a game, many are excited because no stopping power will be returning, but no one seems to notice that assasin has too many uses, and will be a must have perk in the slot two spot. So sorry for trying to help, and stop being mean to someone who is trying to help make this game better. I love CoD, and only want to see it suceed.

        love and hugs,

        UnarmoredSpartan

          September 7, 2011 at 00:54 |

          Actually, he might have been trying to spell inane which means silly, stupid, or non-significant

            Aww…You get me :)

            Firstly, I didn’t downgrade you because you spelt “Balance” wrong. I downgraded you because you’re spamming the same message after every comment.

            If you truely believed in your cause, and if it was worth putting faith in I might add, you would only need to post once. Not only that, but in case your “real world experience” isn’t up to scratch, most people don’t really enjoy being told what to do, so most will simply look over your comment and steer clear.

            I admit, that the “Assassin” perk seems to be a little overloaded; however, for a game you say you love, I find your lack of faith disturbing…

            There’s no way that the people associated to this game would have no concept of balance within a videogame as it’s what they’ve dedicated their lives to doing. Also, like you, the development staff more than anyone will be wanting the experience they create to be fun, fair and, most of all, regarded as “great” by the fans.

            You can see from the perks in slots 1 and 3 that there are things like “Recon” and “Marksman” that the “Assassin” perk isn’t immune to, this would help those trying to combat the perk, or they’ll use it in conjunction with it to become awesome.

            Also, the other perks available in slot 2 look like they’re on equal par in many ways with the “Assassin” perk, like “Overkill” and “Quickdraw”, which I know a lot of people won’t care if they can be seen if they’re bombing around with loadouts like an assault rifle and a sniper rifle, both with two attachments.

            I won’t respond to the rest of your last post as I don’t want to upset you again, oh, and Chuck’s right, I did mean “inane”, I added an extra “n” for effect :)

            So, in summary, give the developers a chance, and wait for the game before you flame their ideas. I happened to love the work that the two dudes headding up Sledgehammer did on “Dead Space” and I think they’ll only bring goodness to the IP.

            Love and Hugs,

            no need to reply, but sorry about my language, only thing that offended me was the correction, even hated it when my step mom done it(hated it more when she done it), and yes recon can help, and i will give the game a try. The reason i would post all the comments is because in MW2 i needed Stopping power(like everyone else) and I hated the noobs who used one man army, but hopefully the assasin perk wont be as bad as i think. just have to wait and see

            I for one think that assassain is perfect and not under or over powered but i would like to see stopping power back. I find it to help in sniping. Thts why the snipers in black were so underused.I beilieve (and i am of age) that Black Ops was so fucking bad. I loved MW2 but if MW3 is anything like Black Ops than it will fail as a good overall game.The whole game was either 15 prestige noobs who use the overpowered famas or 9 year olds who cry and rage when u kill them. I love call of duty and have been playing since cod4 but Black Ops was just a terrible game. I personally found Battlefield Bad Company 2 was better than Black ops.And have any of you played the battlefield bad company 3 beta. Mw3 will have some marketing compition with bfbc3.Is there quickscopin?

      Well it’s not that bad it is a little over powered, But Advanced UAV can find them…however no one should be imune to EMP thats a bit gay…And perhaps the Heart Beat sensor should be transfered over to Dead Silence and Mothon sensor over to Blind Eye

      Giving an entire team an overpowered wallhack boost (or roofhack as it is).
