After a 10 deathstreak, spawn in as RoboCop. :D
That way if anyone tries to headshot you, nobody better be close by... Might as well take down a bunch of people with you.
That system looks crazy nice... but CoD Hummer? Gross.
Shows the person that last killed you on your radar
...I want a Fallout MMO already.
Put your knife away and melee with your bare fists.
Add insult to injury when you're dancing around someone who just can't pin you down.
I AM RUBBER AND YOU ARE GLUE - It's a perk you activate manually, maybe once or twice per game. If you get shot, your attacker(s) takes the damage instead for a limited amount of time. :P
The more controversy you can cause in the game, the harder your bullets hits. Controversy includes but not limited to: shooting civilians in the back of the head, shooting in a airport, lighting Washington, DC on fire, cutting the throats of puppies, punching dolphins in the noise, watching 2 girls, 1 cup on your iPhone at Church, etc.
Whenever a Flashbang you throw goes off, your movement speed is increased by 100% for 5 seconds. This allows you to more quickly enter a room for clearing purposes or utilize the flash to make your escape from a dangerous situation.
After being humiliated repeatedly by another player,
Dispose of your rival at the cost of your own life.
Hound-Trusty dog sidekick, custom named, can die and doesn't respawn.
Eternity Code- Upon reaching your highest available killstreak reward, your count resets, allowing chains of killstreaks.
Allows use of dedicated servers.
Allows you to place an mp3 player with speakers on a wall, to play gunfire and footstep sounds, so that the enemy can hear it.
double tap reload to explode yourself killing nearby enemies
He's going to let them finish but your respawn is the greatest respawn of all time!
You'll Never Take Me Alive:
When 3% health or lower, can pull your pistol and kill yourself with no penalty to your team.
PERK: Wiisucks
Its pretty awesome because your a winner like wiisucks is
Ability to 'tag' people and you get all those kills from the tagged people
g
"I prefer coffee" - While teabagging a player you just killed, you are impervious to enemy fire, but twice as susceptible to the player you just killed once he respawns.
Using this perks allows you're grandmother to make all your boo boo's better. Pro: Your Mom has sex with your best friend giving you more ammunition.
Replace your main weapon with a pistol and dual wield both of your pistols.
TRUE AIM:
For each successive kill against an enemy player, your bullets do more damage.
(Example - 0 kills - No bonus/ 1 Kill +15% Damage/ 2 Kills +25% Damage/ Ect...)
ONE SHOT, ONE KILL:
Your weapons shoot only one bullet at a time(I.E. No automatics), but do significantly more damage. +65% Damage. (May not be used with snipers or shotguns)
Unfortunately this is a commonly used acronym these days with the war overseas, that stands for Improvised Explosive Device. Its generally disguised by looking like a commonly placed thing or piece of trash along the side of a road that can be remotely activated.
So the perk sounds like a claymore, right? Well it would sorta be like a claymore, except its disguised to look like a normal something on the map and in turn of the disguise, it does less damage than the claymore. but on top of some damage it blows up a lot of dirt around it like a combo claymore/smoke bomb. And possibly be able to be detonated remotely like C4, or just work when near enemy contact.
READY TO FRIDAY: Gives user double points(for leveling up only) on Friday.
Allows you to spawn as a G.I. Joe character, each with his/her own character specific ability. For instance, if you spawn as Snake Eyes, you get a katana as a melee weapon.
For the record, I'm talking original G.I. Joe skins--not that new movie business...
If you can manage to kill everyone on the opposing team without getting killed yourself, there is a 1 in 1000 chance of you respawning 100 feet tall, take 85% less damage, but speed is significantly reduced (including aiming speed) and your bullets are to scale with your size (meaning one shot could clear a small corner of the map). Plus you can step on people to kill them if you can manage it. there could also be an Achievement/trophy for taking down 'Mr. Tickles' without getting yourself mauled by a 100 foot soldier. a 'godzilla style' RAWR emote must also be available to players who find themselves 100 feet tall...possibly with eye lasers
You become a midget essentially, around a foot tall. Your weapons are weakened, and they look like toy guns with the orange tips.
Terrorist Suicide Bombing : Your body is rigged with a bomb. This bomb is triggered by your death. The explosion kills anyone nearby.
After not being able to play for several days the first 1,2 or 3 games for each day you weren't able to play (up to 3) you will have enhanced aim and ever 3rd shot be an automatic headshot. If you use this perk your network connection is slowed for the next 10 games.
