The Nuke...

[MiracleOfSound]

mate, you want my advice? dont think about it. just have fun and let go.

Ive had three but ive unequipped them now and you know what? its much more fun. My highest killstreak is 39, because my harriers and pavelow shoot the shit out of anything that moves and when they leave they get the chopper gunner to deal with.

Seriously if i were you i would just get it once, because it feels awesome, then your done.

EDIT: i should also mention that just before my first nuke i had three 24 killstreaks ending in noobtubes, lagging out, and being knifed. And that isnt fun.

Yep, once is all I want. If I just get one, I'll satisfy this stupid compulsion.

3 hours today and no joy. Got a 20 kill streak but got killed while I was in my AC-130. My harriers didn't want to kill anyone today, most I got out of one was 3 kills.

Sorry if this is necroing the thread.

I have just got my first ever nuke. Sub base, domination, silenced AK, spas grip, scavenger, stopping power, ninja.

Just spawned at A (captured the point) carry on running in that direction, turn left into the building, turn around plant a claymore, turn around, turn left, then right and faced that door/window got 7 kills harrier got me to chopper only got up to 20 killed the other 5 campy way.

One guy tried to take me out with a semtex but he missed and got distracted with something else.

Is it sad that I am buzzed? Comon, I have been trying for about 7 months!

Nah it's not sad dude, I'm happy fer ya.

Today I had:

A 23 killstreak ended by a Predator even though I had Cold Blooded on

A 24 killstreak ended by a random Semtex

I almost cried

My heart was pounding hard as I came out of the chopper gunner and saw I had 5 kills to go. I thought "were am I going to go now? I know if I try to get back to my previous spot I will die (my luck is that bad) or I can try and snipe with an AK in a low traffic area ... go back it is then".

Luckily survived, the sense of relief was only topped when I saw the nuke symbol appear on my screen, I waited till it was 190 - 80 then set the nuke off.

I think it's a major dick move when the enemy launch it about 30 seconds into a match, wait till theres 20 seconds on the clock or 20 kills away from the end of a match then launch it.

Edit, preds always seem to have anti you tracking devices in, don't they? They always seem to rain down on you. No matter who "you" is.

Dude I just got my first one!

It was on Terminal, I got an AC130 while they were spawn trapped at A and that was that... I only had 2 kills to go when I came out of it, ran up the stairs and chucked a Semtex... luckiest double kill of my life

I was actually hopping around the room with joy

 

[C95J]

you will eventually, when I got my first Nuke I was happy. But when you find the right tactic to suit you, they will just keep on flowing in

 

[Pielikey]

I almost did during a free weekend on Steam, but then the host migrated followed by IWnet crashing and I questioned why anybody would pay $60 for this Game

It's very hard to get a nuke unless you play like a complete and total asshole. (once again proving the games shittiness) I myself have only done it once, and that was by playing super aggressively with the M16 on demolition on Afghan.

Awesome. Look at us two, it's like we just lost our V to a super model.

Uninstall the map packs, seriously, whenever i party up with friends who don't have either of map packs. i think after 10 TDM games, there wasn't one where i picked up under 30 kills.

Just to let you know.... this was great advice. I got the nuke on the second night of trying after doing that!

 

[lacktheknack]

I got my nuke in an airdrop once, the luckiest haul ever.

Just goes to show, the easiest way to get the jackpot is to inherit it.

 

[WanderingFool]

Pfff, im lucky if I get killed by the nuke, from either team. I have a hard time getting a three kill streak in some matches.

Well, I wouldn't consider that being an asshole at all. The M16 isn't overpowered like it was in COD4 and if you'r ebeing aggressive then it makes it even harder to get it. That was just well played.

Awesome. Look at us two, it's like we just lost our V to a super model.

I know!

My GF thought it was hilarious, she heard me in the next room shouting 'YEESS! YESSS!!!' and then I came bounding in jumping on the couch cheering

And yes, I realise this is not normal behaviour for a 30 year old man. Lol.

Yep... done and dusted now. It feels so much fun to run 3-5-7 again!

I call shenanigans, you can't get a nuke in a box.

Doesn't your heart pound so much you can feel it? Then when you see that icon pop up you just feel so much relief.

I ran around with my trusty M21 FMJ/Cold Blooded/Ninja combo in a Team Deathmatch at Wasteland until I got a Chopper Gunner.

 

[Doinstuffman38]

I once went on a 35 kill streak, with Predator-Harrier-Chopper Gunner. I got nokills with the Predator, so I madeit to the Harriers on my own. After that match,I realized if I had just replaced the Predator with Nuke, I could have done it. Needless to say,I was a little bummed out.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I've never gotten it. My best is probably 22 with M1014 and either a FAMAS or TAR-21.

It's hardly happened, too, I've seen hardly any nukes.

Asolutely.... so much adrenalin going that my hands were shaking... it was hard to control

The only time I've been this buzzed from a game was finally beating COD4 on Veteran. But this was better

Did you get any hate mail? I got "FUCKER!" and "FUCK YOUR MUM IN A ASS" ... I messaged them both back with "aww boo hoo".
