I tend to get a kill with both grenades if I use the mounted grenade launcher!

Poll is closed but I would've gone for the fourth option. It's too cheap!

I used it till i got Martyrdom verteran III then i just changed to dead silence or UAV Jammer.

BANG- just to get my 200th post

Matrydom huh......... Its ok if your trying to annoy people or your just off because everyone else is using it. But personally i try not to use it......... so im a BAN it vote.

And those that leave it turned on, when the server has friendly fire on........ well there just total Plebs.

Um..... UAV jammer is perk 2, and matyrdom is perk 3

drives me mad but i have to say i was guilty and did use it early on before it happened to me a few times.

Martyrdom isn't nearly as annoying as some other things in CoD4(clue: they fly), mostly because if you kill somebody who has it at a distance of anything more than a few feet it isn't really a problem. Users also sacrifice other perks for something that they have little power over determining whether it will actually kill someone. The other reason I personally don't really have a problem with it is I've played online games enough to know there's an element of pure luck in firefights, so I'll put up with something that has a chance of making an encounter a double KO, given that I've been in plenty of circumstances where I've felt the Gods of lag have conspired to deny me a kill.

Yes I found it annoying early on til I realised what I should be doing, and I generally don't use it because I prefer a perk that affects how I play rather than what happens after I die.

I play hardcore servers 90% of the time, so the UAV is less intrusive.
Also, some of the HC servers have the choppers severely weakened, which is a bonus

thats why i put both becuase i couldnt remmeber which one it was..

Marty is a fair enough way of getting kills imo.

You can easily hear the nade drop if your an experienced player, and so avoid corpses. Also, if you kill someone and then a few seconds later their corpse explodes, simply remember their player name and then avoid running too close to them when you have killed them

I personally dont use the tube or marty, i prefer my ninja classes.

While martyrdom is mildly annoying and I tend not to use it myself, I hate the nade launcher attachment much much more.

[watforddude]

I'd say the nade launcher is acceptable when used to kill someone inside a room or firing at th back of a building but i really do hate it at the beginning of a map people stright away start firing to kill people at their spawn. espsh hrdcore S&D

Take your time on S&D then, there's always a place to hide. The respawn algo is really stupid sometimes in CoD4 but only the (fun ) but overcrowded maps. As for martyr, I think it's a stupid perk but I live with it and don't whine or bitch like most do, same with nade launcher or as the gays have coined it, "noob tube". More stupid perks are that silent step (is that what its called or is that L2?) well the one where you can run and walk and make no noise at all. It's silly, I mean at least make it so that you run or walk slower than someone without. Last stand is quite stupid too, especially how they're facing you already aimed with their pistol to shoot and you gotta move your crosshair back onto them to kill them again.

Personally i very rarely get killed by it.
Just dont run over corpses or use a sniper.

I find it funny on hardcore when you kill someone and you take out their whole team
coz half of them are using martydom.

To me its a wasted perk if you use it, theres alot more useful perks that are useful
all the time not just when you die and they happen to be near you.

Hardcore /= Team kill on
