I know this has been complained about before; but the popularity of the "do you use martydom thread" has compelled me to start this one.
Getting marty'd is something that really rarely happens to me, hardcore or softcore. It a bit of an annoyance but no more than a mosquito bite on the arm compared to the malaria that the helicopter produces.
I am not writing this as a victim. I've done my fair-share of murdering enough of the opposition; that my Infinity-Ward superiors deem my exploits to be rewarded by the fiery death of the helicopter.
So I got a notepad, and started making some notes. Well, not notes, just a tally. Guess what I found?
Regardless of game-type, the team that first gets the chopper in, usually wins. I kept a record over several game types, over several servers. Those who got the chopper in first, were most likely to win overall.
Astounding news? Not really. Imbalance? Probably. Airstrike is one thing. A one-off kill-zone on the map. Choppers? A wasp with a shotgun.
It really can turn the tide of battle the first to call it are usually those who can then repeat-call this beast of death.
It needs to go.
