Most useless perk on mw2

[ssgt splatter]

Scrambler. It lets your intended prey know they're about to get a knife up the ass so they spin around and pop you in the face with their shotgun.

I didn't really see the point of Commando Pro. Surviving high falls is cool and all, but a bit pointless.

It's because knifers need to make hasty, daring getaways and often need to do this by jumping out high windows!

..

I say we remove it now!

Nooooooooo (falls out window and dies)

Yaay! Rejoice, for the wicked witch knifer who always killed me is dead!

I think it was you... oh well, you are all the same!

It definately wasn't me, I quit online gaming in January. Too much rage.

Now, I know threads like this have been done before, and they are also frowned upon. But this is a burning question I have had ever since I played it, and The Escapist is where I thought I would find answers.

Now, I believe that SitRep and Scrambler are the useless perks.

Scrambler: It just a dead giveaway that someone is near you, unless you don't seem to be glancing at your map. Unless you are rushing (marathon/lightweight/commando/ninja) around with Claymore doublers (scavenger/2 claymores) there's no need for the pro.

SitRep: It's not as good as it used to be (Bomb Squad/Cod4) but it's only good if there is claymore doublers again.

Discuss.

Glad I'm not the only one that notice that Scrambler is a giveaway, but it's good if you're sneaking up on snipers.
I use Scrambler, M21 EBR w/ Heartbeat+Silencer, and a silenced TMP to hunt the snipers.

I quit today.

Because my PS3 doesn't work ;____;

Disagree with that, on maps with lots of foliage aka wasteland and estate it is incredibly hard to see a cold blooded person though a thermal scope.

Scrambler is the most useless perk, the amount of times i have killed someone because they have scrambler is ridiculous.

You could probably break down every perk and find at least 1 use for it. Keep in mind though I could the perk + the pro together.

Last Stand is probably the worst, you're terrible if you need it to stay alive, and you could just use it as a deathstreak anyway.

If you separated the pros from the normals, Then I'd probably say sitrep. Although sitrep pro is possibly the single BEST perk if you're patient enough to unlock it. I personally just use ninja pro.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

SitRep is great on Free-for-all, for booster hunting, but other wise is rather worthless.

 

[Discord]

Sitrep for me because I never see anyone really use it, accept for the few who want to unlock pro. but it's nothing for me since I seem to always see claymores and I usually flash or stun a closed off area or room before entering anyway.

If I had to give a class with the most useless perks, it would be marathon, stopping power, and scrambler.

Marathon is useless because you can keep sprinting after you stop. You guys did know that, right?
Stopping power is useless because you can just shoot them more.
Scrambler is not useless, it's just so annoying and easy to kill people with it. I've killed hundreds of people with it, and gotten killed maybe 5 times by people with it at close range.

 

[The Unskilled78]

IMHO, Hardline, OMA, and Scrambler.

 

[sonicmaster1989]

Danger Close is pretty disappointing since don't tube/grenade spam.

 

[Grayjack]

Scrambler is liability on normal and useless on Hardcore. I'd even take SitRep over it. One Man Army is pointless unless you have a very specific game plan for something, like sniping for a bit then switching to close range.

Ninja Pro is meh on normal, but amazing on Hardcore for running around. I always play with headphone, and totally rely on hearing the enemy to survive. Ninja Pro is a big advantage.

100% agree.

I love ninja, the number of kills i make from hearing people is insane.

OAT: I use cold-blooded over stopping power alot, apparently that's bad lol. What do you guys think?

I only use Cold Blooded on my classes.

OT: I would say One Man Army. The only people I see using it are using the OMA/Danger Close/Grenade Launcher combo.

 

[Sephychu]

One Man Army. UGH.

Whose idea was it to have it replace the secondary? 'tis most angersome.

 

[Lukeydoodly]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the one-man army perk.

This. One Man Army is useless.

I beg your pardon sir!

One Man Army + Smoke grenades + Noob tubes + Claymores = Happy times.

 

[DasUberCow]

The Lord has a point, but if i had to choose one i would say Scrambler (not pro) as it only gives away your position.

 

[Rooster893]

Wow, didn't think the thread would get this far. Thanks everyone.

And Mr. Cuthberton, you have a point, but were just choosing the perks that don't serve as good ones for most situations.

 

[AdambotLive]

Last stand.

Were they high or something when they made it?

 

[Contun]

Sitrep, if you're careful, you won't even have to deal with clamores...

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

Eavesdrop took the cake on MW 1. Number 2 would have to be scrambler. It actively hurts you to alert your presence.
