I agree that a launcher is useful, I will shoot stuff down because your screwed if not.
However I do agree with @techno here, nobody wants to play mobile Sam Turret Simulator all game.
I have challenges for my gun I wanted to get through if I get a chance.
Some matches your getting bombarded, UAVs, Counters, VTOLS, Choppers.
You should have a hard counter earlier like Ghost.
You don't play a match and get tactical mask or flak jacket equivalent halfway or 3/4 into a game.
Getting killed by explosives and flash the shite out of up until you earn it Bullshit.
If anything it limits your playstyle being forced to wait till something is active.
What kind of system is that?
Fuck the system, the perk system that is.
Just let me use my shit right away, I don't need 4 perks, just give me 3 that work right away ffs.
Infinity Ward get it sorted before I find out where you live and bring @Diddums round to your base and let him camp there with you until you fix it!
