Black Ops - Ghost perk

[Darkflamex]

I have a class with ghost pro and a rocket launcher that i switch to when someone on the enemy team kills me with a hind.

It sorts out their crappy kill streak out good and proper proper, after the hind goes down i switch back to my primary class.

My favorite perks are flakjacket pro (don't usually die from grenade spam), steady aim pro & tactical mask pro (again to fight against grenade spam).

The worst part of BO is anything that is instant kill that doesn't involve any skill like the knife or RC Car (flakjacket helps but the RC car can still kill you instantly).

I also hate second chancers as they should just accept they got killed and stop being such cowards (i'm still not sure who are more cowardly, second chancers or campers...).

BO is the first COD i've played since COD 1 and i quickly came to the conclusion that the COD series is now a noob game designed for noobs and played by noobs.

There really isn't that much skill in some of the game types; most people usually just camp or grenade spam and once they get the over-powered kill streaks they allow the AI to get the rest of their kills for them :/

I haven't played the MP part in ages but i do like the zombie aspect of the game and will continue to play that once mod tools are out for PC and people start making custom maps for it.

I have two Ghost perk classes. One is my sniper class, which for the obvious reason has Ghost. The other I call my "Anti-Air" class, and it currently uses the Galil with Reflex site (with a teal heart as the reticle) and the Strela-3. I use that when someone gets the hind, attack chopper, or copper gunner killstreaks. The Ghost helps somewhat with those, but not always.

*Edit*

Also, seeing ppl talking about Second Chance, I have Second Chance Pro, and it still rarely helps me. I think the ppl that complain the most about it are the ones that dont make sure before moving on that the other guy is down. Once I see a 100 pop up on screen, I did my job, and move on.

Sometime, you cant get at the guy who fell down from where you were at. For example, you shot him with a sniper rifle from across the map, but the bastard fell right behind the concrete freeway divider. Can't really see him without moving, and moving means you are going to die in a horrible way because the handgun has the range of a bb gun.

Eh. I only use Ghost when I'm playing as a Sniper but... it never seems very effective. >>
Using a silenced weapon on the other hand....

 

[Julianking93]

SECOND CHANCE.

Forget Ghost, that's the perk that ruins the game for me.

And the knife.

Second Chance can go to hell.

It's always that and the damn lightweights that get me with Slight of Hand Pro... fuckers are too fast

I use ghost on pretty much every class. I find I can use spy planes to great effect and usually don't die (very much) while my team has one. Assume that every other player on the other team can do roughly the same and I see no reason why I wouldn't want to be invisible to them. It's just like a silencer. Every time you shoot all the people who have a line of sight on you will turn and open fire.... Thats bad, so I use a silencer. Or run.

Of course, I'm also that guy who circles around and flanks your team while everyone else is blasting their big loud LMG's at each other from across the map. I don't camp, mostly because it's boring, but nothing that is INTENTIONALLY put in the game is unfair to use. I would say ghost is definitely powerful, particularly when pro and paired with a silencer. But theres no reason everyone can't do that, so it's not really unfair.

Hardline Pro was overpowered and awesome in Black Ops before they patched it to only get a second chance on "Care Packages" instead of all packages...

Wait, they did?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Can you put a link to a vid with ghost hate? I'd be interested in hearing ^^

I've always used cold blooded/ghost and not once has anyone said anything about it...The most game breaking perk in recent cods is Dead silence/ninja (by a mile)...Where did I put my flame shield...

I ended up unsubscribing this guy after this video.

*video*

Guys an idiot. You can't kill people with ghost! Unless you... use your eyes... and bullets.

You can probably figure it out based purely on the fact that he suggests that you shouldn't be able to shoot down kill streaks. Obviously the player is doing better, they don't need any more favors.

He also suggests spawn trapping as the only viable way to "have fun", which basically tells you he doesn't care about anything but his kill streaks and his ratio.

Well my teammates dont want to shoot stuff down so Ghost what I need to survive

Thanks for restoring some of my faith in the majority of humanity. It's nice to see that some people agree with me. Seriously if you head over to YouTube, this guys views are pretty much the only acceptable methods of play.

 

[Mr. Cheezy]

I use ghost on my stationary classes, like my shotgun class and sniper class. I need it on shotgun because I don't want people to be prepared for me in the few close combat areas of the maps. And on my sniper class because I don't move a lot with the snipers.

And yeah, the Second Chance perk can go play on the highway.

 

[Evilbunny]

It's completely ridiculous. True, more people are invisible to the UAV now because they don't have to give up something crucial like stopping power, but why do you have to be reliant on your radar? Can't you just look around? What do you do when there's no UAV up? Do you just run around like a chicken with its head cut off until you die? If it really bothers you just run the blackbird. They can't hide from that.

Yeah, it was in the first or second patch that came out...

Thanks, that guy sounds like a plonker..."Nothing can counter ghost." How about common sense and being on your toes...Argh the more I listen the more I dislike him...

And this guy is a respected member of the gaming community. He gets paid to do this.

Oh dear lord...

 

[DaHero]

I've always felt UAV Jammer and it's ilk were cowardly and cheap. The only reason to use them is to avoid direct confrontation, which is pretty cowardly in my opinion.

It beats jumping out in the open and screaming while spraying everywhere...tactics should reign supreme in any game.

That guy, and the billions like him, is the reason FPS games will NEVER be fun. He's talking about traffic channels and how that's supposed to be supreme, what he doesn't realize is that the Ghost perk was created solely FOR that purpose. Once again, running and gunning has never occurred in anything but the movies and no self respecting gamer can stoop so low as to truncate a game down to "go here, do this, ????, killstreak!"

But campers exist, and they appear at corners where it's hard to actually kill them first. Blackbird is a killstreak, which requires 8 kills if I'm not mistaken. It's annoyingly hard to get to newer players of the game(ie. me), and if I'm not mistaken most aircraft can be taken down with a rocket from the M72 LAW. I'm sorry, but Ghost is completely broken. It's not as annoying as Second Chance, but it is in need of a downgrade. From what I can tell, Call of Duty wasn't mean to be a run-and-gun FPS, but with Ghost you can get caught off guard at any time and killed in a second.

Just thought I'd point out, you can't shoot down a Blackbird.

I feel alone in the crowd here. Everyone else is saying how much second chance can go die in a well, but it's a part of my favorite class setup (Famas or AUG w/grenade launcher, Python speed reloader, ghost pro, sleight of hand pro, second chance pro). I'm sorry, but it works. I usually get over 50 kills in a game of HC HQ (the only game mode I play) and only like 10-20 deaths.


Edit: just thought of this: hardly anyone uses ghost in HC HQ, which is why I can still use the Spy plane effectively

Ah well, either way it's still piss hard to get for inexperienced players.

It's not that it doesn't work, it's that it's unfair. The game steals a kill from you. I should get a kill when I shoot someone down, but the person being shot down can kill you fairly easily if you're close enough. If they happen to be hiding behind barriers when being shot down they can survive.

 

[AvsJoe]

Huh? People hate Ghost? I use Ghost and I haven't come across anyone who is really audible about it.

Then again: "Hehehe, it's fun shooting the backs of people who rely on their mini-map too much."

I quite like having a second chance at life though. If I get shot in the back, I'm not immediately dead, although I usually am. Also,if I'm getting spawn killed, it has a nice habit of not getting me killed
