The fact remains, these are the sorta killstreaks that should've been taken out of the game. They balance the game by removing the juggernaught and stopping power, yet they allow for instakill choppers with big red square sensors on them that require zero aiming ability and become spawn killing monsters.
OH well, no point complaining, they wont remove it and the people who love huge K:D ratios will continue to orgasm over their ability to get 5:1 ratios using choppers...
Well I sure as hell won't miss them if they would be out of the game though. But I don't care about my K/D ratio even though it's nice. But I rather have a very high score so the XP flows in, and you gain the most XP by blowing things up, killing people and doing objectives.
All killstreaks you can counter (Although not as good as in MW2, you had a perk in MW2 which removes the red box). It's really a lot harder to take the helicopters down. But most maps also have a lot of cover.
Anyway, the AC130 was even more awesome though
You needed 3 AA rockets to bring it down. We always competed with eachother who could get the finishing kill (Back in MW2 we used to play together with 3 or 4 people).

At least you can't shoot them down and you are basically guaranteed kills. Recently I did have a game though where I went from 13-1 to 35-1 from a chopper gunner, and got 4 more kills before the round ended
. Most of the time, if a chopper gunner isn't shot down then the team who's getting raped by it deserves it because they don't know how to pull out a strela to easily take it down. Whenever I see a chopper gunner/gunship come out on the enemies' side, I laugh since it's free points for me when I easily shoot it down. I don't understand why people think it's so overpowered. If I can easily solo kill it, then having 2-3 people of average intelligence attempting to shoot it down should bring it down within a few seconds.
Another note is that when you go into a chopper gunner/gunship, you wait there for a good 5 seconds before you can actually shoot, giving the other team time to pull out their AA. I believe that Treyarch did a great job with killstreaks in BLOPS, even though I personally prefer no killstreaks at all.
The Chopper Gunner can be taken down without him firing a shot (I had it happen ocne on Summit
). People actually had brains during a round. But you can already shoot with the Gunship the second you spawn.
They aren't really overpowered, they are only overpowered if you have dumbasses on your team.
And the Rolling Thunder is bullshit, it even kills you indoors >_>
