Heist
IMHO, Heist would be Heist if its being stolen from someone alive. It's easy to steal from a frozen, defenseless enemy. Feels more like COD version of rape, you just sit there and helplessly watch it happen. Make it so you have to sneak up to an enemy to a certain close proximity for 1-2 seconds stealing their killstreaks. Then, perhaps you don't lose your stolen KS even if you get killed. Or you know what, make it so that if you have the Heist perk, and you're frozen others can't Heist you, how about that?
Kill Power
I don't understand why there is so much bias against offensive weapons and kill power. RCXDs are too powerful, tubes kill too easily, blah blah. Trophy system is excellent, albeit somewhat OP. It's still sensible than that OP flak jacket. How about a perk that makes explosive Inventory weapons deadly even against Trophy and flak jackets? Why isn't there any thought towards balancing it out that way? The SMR was great when you first launched v1.47, hardcore felt like hardcore no more BS of multiple hit markers. Pistols are nerfed. Close range Deagle shot only gave me a X, its a fucking .50 cal at approx 20ft. You can say they were wearing armor, I cannot prove otherwise, but I do not think people put even put on armor anymore.
Multipurpose
If we optimize the killstreaks, get 2-in-1 functionality you can make room for more stuff. I just don't get why in the name or fairness and balances do we keep nerfing things. I still haven't gotten a reasonable answer about what was so wrong about being able to defrost from a predator/paveway, slow the rate of defrost. Yes you have a defroster UAV which is more efficient at it, and that's what makes it more desirable. Why are we trying to make this game so binary, you either choose to be a defroster or strictly only a killer the middle ground is simply vanishing. You cannot even run and gun much because your killstreaks don't stay. Yes, I do remember the days when we only had 1 slot for killstreak. Now, what's even the point when they can be so easily taken from you.
Here's the simply truth as I see it, this is not a tactical game. Majority of the server population comprises of gamers who are really not as good as they think. People have improved significantly but many of them still don't pay attention. I am barely average and have shitty aim that's why I use tubes. Killstreaks are instant gratification and that dopamine drip has worked really well. I hope I don't sound ungrateful as I only mentioned, what appear to be, thoughts/opinions with a negative tint. This was a much needed refresher mod on this aging game.
