The EMP

[The_Eliminator]

I got this earlier today and i have a few questions about it:

- Firstly, how long does it last? The duration of the game? a few seconds??
- Does it stop the enemies RDS and heartbeat monitors etc from working?
- Does it stop the enemy being able to call in killstreaks and also what if killstreaks are already in the air?
- Is the enemies mini map compromised?

Thanks.

Not the entire game but I do not know how long as the times that I have seen it in action was toward the end of the game.
- Does it stop the enemies RDS and heartbeat monitors etc from working?
Yes. All electronics on the weapons are disabled. I dont remember the UAV map being disabled as well or not.
- Does it stop the enemy being able to call in killstreaks and also what if killstreaks are already in the air?
No. They can still call in things.
- Is the enemies mini map compromised?
Unconfirmed
Thanks.

See inside

Re: The EMP

I heard that you can't call in killstreaks when EMP'd. Are you sure you can Crunch?

And from what I remember the minimap does disappear when you're EMP'd.

No, I am not entirely sure. I could have thought I remember someone calling in a missile on the other team. The timeframe with the EMP was so short in the game though, I could have confused it with a guy on our side.

And that includes Red Dot and holographic sights. Not that it makes much of a difference, just spray and pray as usual.

The whole screen also gets a grainy effect, like a TV with poor reception. And I think the minimap is lost too.

I would guess that the duration is somewhere between 30 to 60 seconds

Re: The EMP

Description: Electromagnetic pulse or EMP for short. Temporarily disables enemy electronics like the Thermal Scope, Red Dot Sight, etc.

The EMP also stops the enemy from using killsreaks and at the same time drops down any helicopters and aircrafts that are in the air. You can use the EMP to stop the Tactical Nuke.

Re: The EMP

does holographic count as electronic?

Re: The EMP

I don't think so...

Re: The EMP

Yes. When it went off against me, I was using a holographic site and it was blank.

Re: The EMP

You can use it to stop the tac nuke, thats pretty cool.

Re: The EMP

I doubt many people know it does stop the Nuke, so now you can kill their hapiness

Re: The EMP

I hate when people post images that are not directly linking to the image and force me to go to imageshack to be spammed by their stupid advertisement:rantoff:

Looks like the red dot isn't working.

Re: The EMP

At least it gets rid of some of the crap on the screen
