    I mean always.  Even when my teammates are in a huge group, the missile always comes towards me.  I'm forced to run inside or die.
     
    The only time it doesn't is when I use my Stealth Class...and even then, they magically hit me with an AOE.

    I don't know? I wish they would make a MW classic match type without the new kill streaks. Just keep it to UAV, air strike and choppers.

    Keep telling yourself that they do it because you're the biggest threat and they need you gone.

    I've noticed it goes for me a lot too. Probably I'd say 65-75% of the time

    When a predator's coming by try getting into a building, or getting the hell away from a group.

    You are lying! The fucking predators always aim for me.
    seriously though, it might just be because you seem to notice the enemy predators more when you get perforated

    I wonder if it works like how the helicopter worked in COD4, where it targets whoever has the highest score first.

    It seems like that sometimes. But it only kills me like 30-40% of the time. Most predators aim for my other clan mates.

    Haha, whoops. I thought you meant that you couldn't control your OWN predator missiles, and that you always had to run away from them.
     
     
    That would have been funnier.

    I like when the intel guy says "friendly predator missile incoming". There is NOTHING friendly about a PREDATOR missile.

    Well I can personally attest to the fact that I would always aim for you. I can only imagine there are others out there like me.

    Well, after a certain level, a majority of players run with Cold Blooded on, and if you're not using it, and you're anywhere in the open, then you're the easiest, most viable target for the enemy Predators, not to mention the various airstrikes. So, of course you're going to get nailed by them if you're running around when everyone else is, basically, invisible.

    It's funny, because I never seem to get hit by things like that. Just as a rule of thumb, I run from building to building, from cover to cover. Being anywhere in the open for any extended period is a death wish, a full-on Bronson.
