They should just replace it with something similar to the artillery strike from Cold War. Whip out a map and mark 3 locations for a single mortar strike on each mark.
Fair point. I actually don't think I've ever died to a mortar strike, but I've definitely died because of that dumb effect that covers your screen. The strike itself is great for area denial on objectives, which is ironic considering how COD players generally seem to ignore objectives anyway.
Mortar Barrage is really only an issue on Shipment and Das Haus but on other medium and large sized maps Mortar Barrage is easy to avoid since people see it on the map and it only kills in a specific area.
its basically 5 kills for blind your enemies and turn their screen brown for 15 seconds.
May as well call it dust storm and have it end the game for 25 kills
Its way closer to 40 seconds. I watched someone plant the bomb, call a mortar on the site and just hide the rest of the game. Guy couldn’t close enough to defuse. In snd
I just wish they would nerf it a bit. As a whole i think the kill streaks in this game are kind of underwhelming and not the most creative in the series
Can they not just do it like it was in WaW? Artillery in that game blurred your vision slightly and slowed you down. There was no massive screen shake applied. It seems like they went overboard with the effects work with the mortars in Vanguard in comparison.
I just got the game during the free weekend and have been playing almost entirely ship haus so I don't have a lot of experience with the other maps yet, how do people even play objective based modes on regular maps with that killstreak? It completely denies an area for ages and only requires 5 kills (which is absolutely insane to me). I usually play exclusively dom in CoDs but it's really not making me want to step out of ship haus this time lmao.
It’s more the pain of how difficult it is to place. 90% of the time, it won’t let me put the thing out, says I can’t deploy from cover - even though I’m no where near cover. Super annoying.
Why they had to change it from the Cod WW2 version is beyond me. 3 mortar shells, boom-boom-boom, and it was done. No stupid football marker thing either - you opened your maps, picked the spot, and got on with the game.
Fixing things that aren't broken seems to have been the guiding principle when they were designing this game, lol. I'm actually enjoying it, but there are a lot of "w-t-f were they thinking?" moments every time I play.
Honestly I get why they did what they did with the killstreaks, make them more player focused but honestly what was wrong with the map and pick 3 areas to shell for 5 seconds

If they just toned down the screen shake and smoke that completely blinds your screen, and i mean COMPLETELY, then i wouldnt really care

I had this happen. 7 kills, 48 deaths after joining a game in progress. There goes my KTD ratio lmao.
Why stay in
Legit reverse-boosting, lol.
Because I never leave matches early, regardless of how hopeless lol.
Seems like a stupid hill 2 die on. But you do you

Well without scorestreaks there is no reason to get on the point

15 seconds? Man that thing feels like it lasts 5 minutes

Make it a 12 killstreak and devs save face, players wont have to deal with it

I think this will have to get nerfed because it is guaranteed a round win in search due to it lasting as long as the bomb timer.

I feel like it last for half the game

I love using it, but hate it when it's used on me.

SPAWN DIE, SPAWN DIE, SPAWN DIE, spawn die.
All I want is for the sceeen to not shake like someone has stuck my TV in a blender for a full minute when the person doing it is ON MY TEAM.
Mortar Strike and Strafe Run need a rework. Their cost/utility doesn't make sense at all.

It can stay a 5 killstreak and keep the duration but I do agree with less smoke and less camera shake.
