" You said "Everyone will use this" for most of the perks...on second look, you seem to think every single pro perk is game-breaking. What is the point of this poll? "I don't think any perk will be game-breaking. I personally feel that it's the most balanced perk set in any COD game to date. I'm just seeing a lot of "Oh no!, I can't believe they did that! That will be so overpowered!" type posts in the pro perk thread and elsewhere on this forum, and I thought it would be fun to do a poll and see quite clearly that different people feel that different perks will be overpowered.
No. It's limited sprint." Is Marathon really allowing unlimited sprint? That would be the most over powered in my book. "
EDIT: Nevermind. Having unlimited sprint as a pro upgrade is kind of odd...
Ninja is definitely overpowered imo. Anyone with a decent headset will now have such an advantage .. seriously ...
" Correct me if im wrong but didnt they make shotguns a primary weapon again so snipers are back to just rifle and pistol? So the complaint about scout is moot? Also i went with the last stand perk, ive always hated it and wished it would be taken out of the game. "you could switch your pistol for a shotgun an enemy dropped.
None of them really seem overpowered. At least in this one you have to do a little more work to get the pro versions.
" Holy cannoli could your poll selections be any more ridiculous? Are you really that bad at the game? "
@h0lgr said:
Yes. That. Again, for the record, I think this looks like the most balanced perk list yet." @EnchantedEcho said:
" Yeah, from your descriptions it seems like all of them are 'over-powered' or 'game-breaking'. "It's supposed to be from the readers point of view, like that's what the reader is thinking when he picks it "
I'm going Ghost, something good, and Ninja. I have $300 RRP studio headgear, I hear angels fart on the other side of the planet, and I'm not afraid to make use of my gear.
..also, the 360 servers are up and the game was patched. Stay tuned at any good information source to find out if perks change - as promised - or not.
" you complain lots "Who?

" I actually don't want to click any of them because you're making me sound like a typical reactionary CoD bitch. "Yeah, I guess that's kind of the point. I did plenty of bitching about grenade launcher + scavenger in MW2, though. :)

I'm PC. Sennheiser HD25-1 with some additions and modifications /highfive :]
Just decided for Lightweight, Steady Aim and Ninja as my first perk unlocks, and their Pro equivalents. Thinking it's not about individual Pro perks, but rather their combinations. My first class will be a complete d'bag.
" @jmrwacko said:I'm thinking about ninja now just because the pro unlock is way easier than some other perks. After seeing some of the challenges for pro unlock, I know I won't be getting certain perks just because I can't bother doing ridiculous feats of skill like get 5 headshots in Second Chance (I can't even get body shots in Last Stand in previous Call of Duty games)." @somejerk said:I'm PC.
