I've never seen a good player bitch about martyrdom. Fuck, you don't even have to be that good. I'm average, and I very rarely get killed by it. Certainly not enough where I'm crying for it to be taken out.

And all this talk of "rewarding you for getting killed" is a complete crock of shit. You are not garaunteed a kill. And it isn't a reward for dying. It's a reward for reaching the level in rank that unlocks it.

Just so sick of all this whining and bitching about stuff in this game. M16s are noob, grenade launchers are noob, uav jammer is noob, martyrdom is noob, stopping power is noob, shooting people is noob.

Maybe everyone should just stand completly still and try and knife one another. No one will get any kills, but at least they won't be noobs.

Kalyx is off his rocker. Perks are awesome. Also, Martyrdom is excellent for objective based games. Wouldn't use it in kill based games, but in domination or headquarters, it's too useful a tool not to use it.

This is just a game, it's meant for entertainment purposes. You all take this way to seriously. It's not a life or death situation.

The strategic implications are annoying at best. Games aren't decided from 'failsafe' measures and should not be.

I waltz around the range of the blast from the stupid Perk and go about my business. Except it's not a uniform Perk, so people will steer clear of 'dying corpse' just in case they get fragged by a bomb that the killed player did not have to activate in any way. In Gears you have to have a grenade in hand at the time of death, and then activate the move for a last ditch well deserved frag (and I can't even believe I'm citing Gears for this one).

In Halo you merely throw a grenade at your feet when death is pretty much expected, still a move at your control. This carries over to just about any other shooter. Pfft, even CoD4!

So why then is there some static mechanic that leaves the player totally void of responsibility pending death? Why should the game designers be so kind as to include a bothersome mechanic like this? It is gay and counter-intuitive to CoD's [apparently] tactic heavy nature - which, BTW, the game consistently contradicts with various features that spit on the idea of balance.

'The fuck? Am I playing a competitive game to pussy-foot around and waste time or am I testing my skills? If you don't care about winning why bother? I mean, yeah you have a right to enjoy the game at merits you define for yourself - it's none of my business. But don't even try to pull that 'take it serious' bullshit on me.
