Why?!?! Seriously, do people use martyrdom just to annoy me? I'm so afraid of being killed by a martyrdom grenade that right after I kill someone I immediately run away from the person. And in smaller maps or maps with narrow corridors it's terrible because the halls literally keep exploding over and over again. I remember one time I killed someone in front of me, and a teammate saved me by shooting an enemy behind me. Unfortunately, both of them had martyrdom on and I was left there deciding which way to run to my death. Instead, I just stood there and died by both.
If you're serious about getting revenge try using Last Stand, at least I can respect someone who used skill to get their kill.

A Notice to Everyone who uses Martyrdom
It's annoying and all it proves is you need to die to kill someone and it doesn't require skill to use it but you've just got to put up with it and posting this probably only made people want to use it more
Its not that hard to avoid...the second you hear the "ping" just run. Sure, you'll have cases like that where you cant avoid it but just because you die its not the end of the world...you respawn and just keep fighting. I hate people that call certain weapons "noobish"...because they are fully capable of using it themselves. Its a feature of the game that the devs put in for a reason...and just because someone chooses to use one thing and you dont even though its effective doesnt mean its noobish. Quite honestly, Last Stand annoys me but I dont complain and protest it.
And for the record, I don't use Martydom myself.
Juggernaut is just as annoying but its a perk and its balanced and easy to avoid. Just don't rush forward after killing someone
ya it is pretty annoying but yet useful to a noob. Mostly lower ranked Nooberts (yes i created that) use it. i am 7th Prestige and i sick of owning a guy and getting killed by their matrydom because the game likes to trap you next to objects. In Headquarters it is so annoying mostly in vacant.
I use it so that people who run around with shotguns on huge maps (or people who get really close and pray and spray) get what they deserve (which they only do get like what 5% of the time). I almost never die from martyrdom even when I sprint over the bodies.
There is always a way to counter something in this game, in this case try shooting them form a distance to never get bothered by this perk ever again. You may also never want to knife if you know there is someone in the other team that is using it. I almost never die because of martyrdom anymore.
That's what perks are. They're special things unlocked by players to get an advantage. I don't like it but I've come to the fact that I'll have to deal with it.
"tainteddonut said:"I don't mind Martyrdom as long as it's not used in Hardcore mode.Oh yes, that's just the worst.
"
Still, it's hard not to complain when so many people use it.

I mostly play Ground War (Big team Team Deathmatch and Domination), and I don't see it that much.
I think if it's a part of the game you've either got to put up or shut up. Or, alternatively, play with people you know who are like-minded and don't use martyr. I use it because I'm dog shit poor at the game, and if I can get a dirty kill then I'm going to. It's like people complaining about AWPers in Counter Strike, or folk who select the best team in sports games - these things are in the game, therefore people will use them to get ahead. Find people on your wavelength, and you might have a better time playing.

ReTarDedFisHy just has to say one word. "Cheap." That being said, it's not that hard to avoid, unless you lag, or can't move around, like if you're literally one second away from capturing the HQ, and some random guy jumps in, dies, and the only thing you can do, is hope. Hope.
The worst is when you run around a corner or something right onto a guy using martyrdom because then you don't have enough time to run away unscathed.

Instead, I just stood there and died by both.I wouldn't have a problem with Martyrdom if you had to actually have a grenade to use it. What I hated was the scrubs who had 3x Grenades, would waste them in the first five seconds like everyone did and when you killed them still dropped a grenade. I'm not sure if they fixed it, but I don't really care. The game is so flawed, it's almost as bad as Gears.

I find it annoying too but if it's in the game then it's fair play I feel. I find myself using it less and less these days anyway as players are becoming more wise to it.
A notice to all the players who bitch about this perk or that
A team of developers obviously thought each and every one of those perks had it's uses and was a good idea. If martyrdom pisses you off because your stupid enough to die by it when it's really easy to avoid than don't play or get over it. There are much harder things to deal with in that game than martyrdom, try the juggernaut perk, or jammer, those are actually hindrances that make a person harder to kill. martyrdom is simple and easy to avoid.

So because they thought it was a good idea, they are right and we are wrong?
I guess Lair was great, the developers thought forcing SixAxis controls was a good idea, therefore it is.
See, what happened was we hit a nerve, and you are mad that people are saying you have no skill because you use Martyrdom. Honestly, if you have it use it, you suck. It is extremely easy to kill people in the game.
