    Re: Martyrdom? Acceptable/Silly?

    I hate it, and never use it.

    I don't dislike it because it cheap or because it gives easy kills, I dislike it because the perk is over powered. If you look at Last Stand, you only get a chance to use it if you are wounded with enough force that would have normally killed you, just so long as it was not a head shot or with explosives. Why can't Martydom work in the same way?

    I mean, how the hell are you going to pull out a grenade from a pocket with your last dying breaths, when you have just had you brains painted across a wall with a .50 cal shell or had your arms blown off by a claymore?

    Another reason I hate Martydom is because I only play Hardcore, and it's just stupid to use it on hardcore, but plenty of people still do Unfortunately, I don't have the option of playing on a server it's banned on, because I play on the 360. Although I did read a few weeks back that IW are looking into adding 3 more playlists to COD4, Hardcore FFA, TDM without any perks and the other escapes me at the moment.

    Living and dying laughing and crying
    Once you have seen it you will never be the same
    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    Re: Martyrdom? Acceptable/Silly?

    I used to love it, but that was clearly my noob stage in life

    I now detest it and it drives me mad when people reply "this is war" even thuogh server rules state it a lot.

    I don't like it, but it is part of the game unfortunately so we have to deal with it. I have never used it myself - prefer either Deep Impact or Extreme Conditioning for perk3.

    I'm only currently using it to complete the Martyrdom killer challenge, otherwise I usually use Steady Aim. I didn't realise you could get banned for using it until I started using it. Now if we could just get a server that banned bunny hopping automatically...

    Same,
    But now I detest it, you get used to running away from the bodies of the people you killed coz' every man and his dog has matyrdom on COD4 on 360.

    Its especially annoying when you flashbang a room, run in, take out 3 people, and then have to try and dodge 3 grenades.

    all of that is exactly the same on PC servers.

    Not that I kill three people in a room...I ted to throw the flashbang, it bounces off the doro frame, hits me in the face and I stand with my arm over my face looking like a pleb, and they come OUT and get me!

    If that happens just leg it in there with a cooked grenade!!!
    It most annoying on headquarters because if you the capture the HQ you normally get stuck in a small room, meaning you take out a bunch of people from your camping spot, and end up lying next to a couple of grenades.

    Re: Martyrdom? Acceptable/Silly?

    I usually do that with cooked grenades.. run up to a building, cook off a nade, aim it at the first floor.. lob it, bounces off the window frame and lands in my face as I run through the door

    Re: Martyrdom? Acceptable/Silly?

    I hate it when I'm trying to kill lots of people and then they all are matyrs -.-

    However.. a room full of people+one matyr... you kill the matyr from far off, everyone runs to door... BOOM!!!

    No more room of people.
