I nearly got a tactical nuke...

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

It was a team deathmatch with 6-a-side, the teams were evenly matched but ours was in the lead only by a few kills, I ran near the little bridge and people popped out of nowhere, but I killed them. I got a harrier, managed to get chopper gunner. I killed about 12 guys, shot one, ran behind the water tower, AND I WAS KILLED BY G18. I was about to get a nuke and my smugness was crushed. I know that this happened to a lot of people, and I just want to know how youd have felt in the same scenario, I stuck around for another match, got chopper gunner, but didnt get as far, so I quit.

But anyway, was anyone here in the same scenario, and what were your reactions?

My class was:
ACR w/ACOG
TMP
Scavenger Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Steady Aim Pro
Semtex
Stun grenades X2

most of the time's (back when we still liked this game)I was the one blowing up chopper gunners and killing those killstreak-prostitutes, because it helps your team a great great deal.
but really all a nuke does is to spoil everyones fun exept for your own.

 

[greenflash]

Nope can't say i have.

 

[Jester00]

my best killstreak was 24, i know how that feels. in my situation, the game was over, i had 24 - 3 (i failed at the beginning). at the moment i use the predator, the harrier and the pave low, no nuke, but also no stress.

My killstreaks are UAV, Counter UAV and Predator Missile.
That's right, a five kill streak and I'm done. And I'm lucky if I get that.

With no offence, I'm almost glad you got killed. Nukes annoy me and, I know this wasn't the case with you, but it's usually the losing team that gets one.
Instead of getting out there and capturing flags and stuff, they just sit there in a corner doing bugger all and win either way.

I got a tactical Nuke before...

But alas, it was not meant to be...

It's like there are puritans working from behind the scenes to eliminate pride for players.

Sounds like a similar setup to mine. I tend to get no more than...well my max was 17. You can tell some people obviously play the game a little too much to the point of them being foaming sugar fuelled maniacs which whizz away any chance of a decent kill streak.

I'm fine with my sentry guns and random crates really. All my chopper gunner and Pave Low gear came from those and I'm not bothered that they don't up the kill streak at all.

But yeah I have to agree, nukes are a nuisance really. It's not a tangible threat (aside from nailing the maniac who has the killstreak leading up to one) unlike say a Pave Low which I can shoot down at my leisure with an L86

I used to use Predator, Harriers/Attack Helicopter, AC130/Chopper Gunner.

I could normally get through that strek at least once in a TD. Helps the team a lot and it also means that you're more likely to get up to the power houses of thr AC130 than you are trying to run a Nuke setup.

Honestly, if a team gets an AC130/Chopper Gunner they should win if the person is competant.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Tactical Nuke. A reason why I never can take that game seriously or attempt to play it. Kill-streaks add and destroy the multiplayer games. Mostly breaks it.

Which is exactly why I play Objective Barebones. No kill streaks and actually realistic matches with fewer campers; much better playing.

OT: I've never gotten close to a nuke, I don't want to get close to a nuke, they suck. I never get past 11 or something like that. Most people only get nukes by using a chopper gunner, camping or plain dumb luck so I see little point in them.

Point is, I don't like or want nukes.

Lacsapix pretty much summed up the opinions of about 80% of people here, including my own.

Back in the MW2 days i considered myself a way above average player, but i never bothered even equip the nuke; i didnt see the point if im being honest.

Oh well, if you still play, and more importantly, enjoy that game, then more power to you and goodluck getting your beloved nuke.

 

[RooftopAssassin]

I've gotten five or so, but it's not really a huge achievement or anything. It pisses me off because the people who get them usually camp or do God-knows-what to get their streaks. I like to use a multitude of classes and weapon types, and I've gotten a tactical nuke using all four weapon types (Assault Rifles, SMG, LMG, and sniper rifles). Just keep at it, and eventually you'll get there. Oh, and when I get close and get killed I just think, "Fuck."

If you're going for a nuke, put a silencer on instead of the useless ACOG scope, the enemy team not knowing where you are is your greatest weapon. Plus the iron sight isn't that bad, especially with no recoil

Do not fight along side your teammates on the front line. Instead, walk around the map and flank them.

You can easily get 7 kills with the ACR and your secondary weapon without having to to find more ammo/different weapon, so take off scavenger and put on sleight of hand or bling; If bling, then put on a heartbeat sensor as well.

TMP? I would suggest the ridiculously overpowered AA-12 with grip and extended mags. You can tear through the entire enemy team in a few seconds with that beast.

Using the AA-12 with grip eliminates the need for steady aim, I would suggest ninja instead.

TDM = random spawns = random deaths from behind. Domination lets you have a good idea where the enemy will spawn. Plus you get free kills from the people who try to capture flags. Not to mention the match tends to last longer.

But if you can nukes with your class, by all means stick with it.

Actually Heartbeat sensor is my greatest weakness, as I HAVE to keep looking at it, and the positioning of enemies is pretty skewed.

BTW: I'm not really a AA-12 person, and the tmp is for no reason at all, just for achievements.
