Killstreaks have a certain Je ne sais quoi within the Call of Duty franchise. As its deployment is often useful to gain a last minute victory, Modern Warfare players are keen for the Support Helo’s to receive an overdue buff.
The twin-turreted helicopter may appear to be a sturdy assault vehicle within your arsenal, but gamers are concerned about its overall impact on the battlefield. The problem lies in its ability to survive under fire when it’s in play. It would normally require the use of a launcher to eliminate it, but the Helo can now be shot down with any hefty assault rifle,which dramatically impacts the killstreaks time in play.
Concerns have also been posted on the Modern Warfare Reddit about the helicopter’s targeting. The Helo is designed to survey the map and target enemies, however players have had experiences where the turrets are shooting at anything and everything, where gunfire seems to fly off into the horizon. This suggests that the AI-controlled targeting could be a major part of Helo’s downfall, however another problem lies in its defense.
While some gamers exhibit quick reflexes in eliminating flying vessels, most agree that the Helo needs to show more resilience. For the limited amount of time that the Helo stays airborne, it’s kill count is extremely poor. As players need 11 kills to unlock the killstreak, the Helo only seems to manage a couple of kills when active. Many players have decided to deactivate the Helo after branding it the worst killstreak in the franchise. A suggestion was made that it should either be adjusted or replaced with something else like Carpet Bombing Run or Paratroopers.
The Support Helo can be described as a flying tank that used to cast a wave of fear over competitors when it was deployed. Players often combined the helicopter with the killstreak white phosphorus drops and various others to secure an instant game over. The VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) jet is another behemoth within the killstreak catalogue that rains bullets towards a players chosen location. Fans are campaigning for the Helo to be as effective as other killstreaks and for it to cast waves of fear over the battlefield like before.
If enough CoD players speak out about the Support Helo then a buff could happen. Previous killstreaks have been altered before including White phosphorus that now stays active for a longer amount of time. A buff would be a beneficial adjustment that could turn players frustration for the killstreak into praise.
