Through what I've seen, I think the Hunter killer has a little smarter AI in it. I went in theater and looked at one. I threw it over the wall on slums from the middle, down the road by the garage. It flew right over the head of the first guy, hooked a sharp left, and hit a car near the second guy, killing him and giving me 100 score. They're smart.
it seems that everytime the enemy team release a hunter killer puts my name on it, because they always specifically find and kill me. everytime all i hear is the "bep bep bep" then im screw
That's good that heli's have an aggro sensor, I wouldn't want my chopper to be trying to gun down some random ass slayer when I have someone blasting it with their LSAT.
Here's something funny, for a week, around a hundred games, the other team released a hunter killer, and it locked on to me every time. Not one game did I go free, and so over the week, I got better at avoiding them, and now I usually never get killed by the spawns of Satan.
Great video! I noticed when I shot at helicopters that they started targeting me and you just confirmed it. Flack Jacket can save you from Hunter Killers and Trophy Systems can destroy them. FMJ is a good way to take down air support with guns and always have a Blind Eye class.
I don't stress the drones. Another tip is when there are drones you don't have to hide. Just try to conserve your sprint. If you wait until the beeping stops and sprint at that moment I have found you take little to no damage. Hope it helps.
Drift0r you should make a video about other scorestreaks and talk about how many kills they are designed to get you and also the map control they are supposed to give you (like you did with the swarm on this one). It's a very interesting info!
I must have a homing beacon on my head, because every hunter killer drone called in from an enemy player has somehow managed to find and kill me specifically.
hunter killer drones are out to get just me when ever theyre called in they'll fly over 3 or 4 of my teammates who are in the open and kill me its bullshit
i realised that when i was playing a lan party with bots and my uncle that when my uncle throws a hunter killer it almost 100% kills me and not any of the bots
The Swarm is designed to kill 6 to 8 people? I cannot believe that unless half the enemy team ragequit. Unless everyone's already indoors when I call it in, I always get about 12 kills per Swarm.
really i average about 4 kills with it which sucks thats one reason i never use it. That and people leave or triple cap in dom. I feel like its not worth it for how high it is can control the map with lower ones more and get more kills.
Hardwired is necessary (for me) because this is my "shit has hit the fan" class. I only switch to this if there is major air support (anything above a stealth chopper) and I immediately switch back once the annoyance has been delt with. It has hardwired in case we get EMP'd. I can switch to that class and call out where I believe the enemy spawn is to help keep my team mates pointed in the right direction, and also in case I have a streak I've been saving to use; like a CUAV.
However, something like Flak Jacket and Lightweight offer more of a advantage. Using Blind Eye is only useful when going against a team that has a lot of air support. Usually a single hunter killer will kill you and that's it.
As usual, great info. Would have liked to have seen why it chooses to hit UAV/Counter UAVs over people sometimes as well. But I'll assume based on how it chooses people targets on line of sight, that if the airborne target is closest when you launch the H/K, it will go for it instead of personnel.
I think Blind Eye would work on the Swarm, but since you have teammates, and it's certain that not all of them is using Blind Eye, you're almost always going to get hit with splash/collateral damage.
I wish the swarm can be controlled by you, like your in some kind of command station in the sky and you just summon hunter killer drones. Sounds kinda cool.
What I always noticed but might just be sheer luck is when I hear the beeping and I go prone it instantly stops. This might just be coincedence but it might trick the hunter killer into not going to you.
I don't need to worry about swarms, because I've never got higher than an escort drone. I've got a few relentless and some ruthless, but I never had any of the high streaks set when I got them :(
This is why I use Blind Eye, while the other team thinks they can start taking points because they got a swarm or any other AI killstreak, I can prevent them from taking them.
my friend, how about the blind eye perk? that is the counter for swarms and helicopters, could have mentioned that instead of saying that you have to give away the map control.
Blind eye protects the user from AI scorestreaks. To put it simply, you will not be targeted by them, HOWEVER, you can still die from them due to collateral damage. (standing right behind a person without blind eye that is getting mowed down by a sentry, standing right next to the person without Blind eye who's getting shot by the stealth chopper, etc)
All you have to do to avoid a swarm is switch to a Blind Eye class. You can freely run around to your hearts content at that point. In fact, if the whole enemy team switches to a Blind Eye anti-air class then the swarm will get 0 kills, rendering it pretty much useless.
My first swarm got me 19 kills, but that was on Turbine, which is largely exposed to the sky. Obviously the map is a major factor for the amount of kills and well as the number on the other team. I was actually disappointed my 2nd swarm on Express only got six, but there is alot more aerial cover on that map in comparision: someone told me, you might as well quit if enemy calls swarm on Carrier...
How much explosive damage does each drone do? Flak jacket usually doesn't help, unless its a little off target. I was really hoping to hear about that. :(
I also realized Cold Blooded saves you from Sentry Guns. Blind Eye is just for aerial AI-controlled streaks. I wonder how effective a pure stealth class would be. and what the best gun would be for it.. :) Any ideas?
you forgot to mention blind eye protects you from being targeted :) which brings me on to the question of what happens if you have blind eye on and you shoot at a heli/AI controlled vehicle, will it ignore you or shoot at you?
Drones follow me into buildings. Most scorestreaks target me, and only me prior to anyone else, just so that my friends can laugh at me. Hilarious, yes, and chasing my friends down knowing this fact is even more hilarious. Friend: "Get away from me! You're going to get me killed!" Me: "I know. I don't want to go to hell alone." :P
The drones will also target air support first, as long as you aim it near them, then players, then ground scorestreaks. Well, according to the Black ops 2 official guide..
Please do a C4 in depth and reveal to treyarch how broken it is. I used to bookmark my games where i would regularly detonate C4 anywhere between 3 yards to the enemy actually standing on it and not even getting a hit marker. I also get hit markers sometimes from an enemy standing on my C4 and not even wearing flak (no flak indicator). also the double tap X detonation doesnt work as well as it should. by the time the C4 blows after ive thrown it i will have already doubled tapped X like 3 times
drift0r I have one question about the swarm how come swarms can target the one that called it I remember in a party game I was killed by my own swarm 3 times without no one being next to me?
just wanted to ask 1 more thing about the helicoptors. do they target you if you hit them with the black hats? cus it takes 2 to take it down, from using them it seems like they do but thought id ask if you were told anythin bout them :P
now Driftor i got a question... my Swarm keeps killing me and even the my Escort Drone and Stealth Choppers are killing me... the only thing that cant kill me is my Warthog.... even if his missile hits me right next to me i run around dancing on the body of my enemy... why cant all the scorestreaks be like that?
Great video, I was curious about the AI and the prioritizing that the helicopter does makes sense. I always wondered why it seemed to turn and face me (if I wasnt using blind air or protection from AI) when I lock on with the missile. It seemed to always kill me after I fired once. Just didnt twig the prioritizing.
There's actually a trick: you have to put on flak jacket, and when you hear the beeping and you know that it's about to hit you, you do the dolphin dive. You will barely survive and this doesn't work without flak jacket.
pls do fish AI in depth
Solution to killstreaks:
1.Ghost
2.Black hats
3.Blind eye
4.Emps
5.MK48 (Really strong against shooting down helicopters
i dont think...nevermind
100 bullets in 1 clip and the helicopter is almost done.
Ghost, Blind Eye, Hard Wired, Cold Blooded, Fhj-18, Engineer (for some scorestreaks), Emp or Black Hat and a powerful primary weapon.
"blue turtle shells"
Please, take a moment to remember all the unfortunate players that have lost races thanks to the blue shell.
You have no idea how many fights have been started by blue turtle shells at my house
I call them L shells, many fall victim to them

@@sowhazupguy Well, if it kills you you can't have hunger anymore. Therefore it's a: hunger killer.

Same here. That's why I started using Blind Eye
Just noticed that the map you are playing on at 4:38 is based on the Firing Range from Black Ops 1.
Studio, came in a DLC
studio it came out in the uprising map pack
So its just a coincidence that I get targeted 90% of the time
Someone said almost the exact same thing a dozen episodes ago but instead the other guy was dropping Lodestar frequently.
Drif0r is a savior.
hunter killer drones are out to get just me when ever theyre called in they'll fly over 3 or 4 of my teammates who are in the open and kill me its bullshit
lmfao I feel ya

My Black Ops 2 RTC live comm game 78 uploaded today and uploads daily! Take a peek, cheers!!!
VSAT Dogs Swarm best kill streak Combo in cod history
The Swarm is the best scorestreak to have on the smaller maps, like nuketown and hijacked. Best to keep them from going underground or inside.

Driftor...
Next map guide? Good format last time out too. Better than the debut.
Drift0r, a good way to avoid the drones is to simply dolphin dive when you hear the beeps. it seems to work well for me
I went 30-3 because I got a swarm in my first care package. It was the first time I went positive in a game. XD
Sees type 25 buffed in next episode category. Realizes why he is doing so good with it now.
I was delighted to see him in driftors game
Swarm is my fav score streak. My fav setup is Orbital, Loadstar, Swarm.
However, something like Flak Jacket and Lightweight offer more of a advantage. Using Blind Eye is only useful when going against a team that has a lot of air support. Usually a single hunter killer will kill you and that's it.
Something I've noticed is that hugging a wall seems to make them freak out or at times even when I'm the only one outside not even target me.
As usual, great info. Would have liked to have seen why it chooses to hit UAV/Counter UAVs over people sometimes as well. But I'll assume based on how it chooses people targets on line of sight, that if the airborne target is closest when you launch the H/K, it will go for it instead of personnel.
I feel your pain. There can be all of my teammates running outside and me sitting inside and the hunter killer will find a way to hunt me down.
Thanks for teaching that to us, Drift0r!
by diving when they are halfway to you, you can dodge it. it is just that the hunter killer hots the ground and you get hurt a little bit
I think Blind Eye would work on the Swarm, but since you have teammates, and it's certain that not all of them is using Blind Eye, you're almost always going to get hit with splash/collateral damage.
I wish the swarm can be controlled by you, like your in some kind of command station in the sky and you just summon hunter killer drones. Sounds kinda cool.
What I always noticed but might just be sheer luck is when I hear the beeping and I go prone it instantly stops. This might just be coincedence but it might trick the hunter killer into not going to you.
Drift0r please do an In depth on tactical grenades.
I don't need to worry about swarms, because I've never got higher than an escort drone. I've got a few relentless and some ruthless, but I never had any of the high streaks set when I got them :(
My strategy for domination is get the high killstreak in the first round and then hammer the enemy in the second round. This works amazingly
This is why I use Blind Eye, while the other team thinks they can start taking points because they got a swarm or any other AI killstreak, I can prevent them from taking them.
I got the same problem as him sometimes. Blind Eye only helps if the people your with are equipped with it.
my friend, how about the blind eye perk? that is the counter for swarms and helicopters, could have mentioned that instead of saying that you have to give away the map control.
I wish that Type 25 Video would have come out sooner, I'm already well on my way to gilding it.
LSAT/L86 LSW FMJ,Stinger, EMP, Blackhat, blind eye, cold blodded. best Anti-killstreak class ever.
Also you can dive over hunter killers if you time it right.
to get a swarm use blackbird, then emp. then swarm. the emp and blackbird will get you so many points
Blind eye + MK48 + FMJ + enemy stealth chopper = beast.
You're never too old.
Please do an in depth on No Scoping and why the bullets don't go where you are aiming
im wondering if you throw a EMP grenade does it work against the swarm when it is coming for you?
love the daft punk reference in the type 25 annotation
So killstreaks used to go for you if you had a high score? I never knew that. I always felt the harriers on MW2 had something against me lol
my mind is being blown as someone is being nice on youtube :D
omg ive been waiting for this for so long
if you have a pdw extended mag you can get a stealth chopper to black smoke but with the whole mag
Drift0r, could you do an in depth about knives and why they are one hit and maybe why they didn't stick with the cod2 melee with the butt of the gun?
prone just before the beeeeeeeep sound on drones can screw up their impact point and allow you to survive the blast most time when out in the open :D
Good episode. One question: any particular reason why HKs occasionally target UAVs or sentry guns?
Blind eye protects the user from AI scorestreaks. To put it simply, you will not be targeted by them, HOWEVER, you can still die from them due to collateral damage. (standing right behind a person without blind eye that is getting mowed down by a sentry, standing right next to the person without Blind eye who's getting shot by the stealth chopper, etc)
All you have to do to avoid a swarm is switch to a Blind Eye class. You can freely run around to your hearts content at that point. In fact, if the whole enemy team switches to a Blind Eye anti-air class then the swarm will get 0 kills, rendering it pretty much useless.
I wanted to learn the range of my stealth chopper!
My first swarm got me 19 kills, but that was on Turbine, which is largely exposed to the sky. Obviously the map is a major factor for the amount of kills and well as the number on the other team. I was actually disappointed my 2nd swarm on Express only got six, but there is alot more aerial cover on that map in comparision: someone told me, you might as well quit if enemy calls swarm on Carrier...
How much explosive damage does each drone do? Flak jacket usually doesn't help, unless its a little off target. I was really hoping to hear about that. :(
When shooting down a stealth copper I use the mk48 or LSAT makes it so much easier to take them down
I also realized Cold Blooded saves you from Sentry Guns. Blind Eye is just for aerial AI-controlled streaks.
I wonder how effective a pure stealth class would be. and what the best gun would be for it.. :) Any ideas?

You can destroy a hkd with an EMP right before it hits you, but fast hands is a must for it to work ok
Firing Range. The map you see now is called "Studio", the Firing Range remake.
The drones will also target air support first, as long as you aim it near them, then players, then ground scorestreaks. Well, according to the Black ops 2 official guide..
Joe Martin There was a hostile hunter killer drone while i'm controling my VTOL Warship and there's nothing happend to the VTOL
i always feel like diving to prone works the best but it's not foolproof unless you time it right.
does the emp scorestreak destroy the swarm? and if so does it give you a special medal?
Hey Drift0r I tested this thing and it that if you were in a corner hunter killers won't attack you! Even if the corner was outside!
I'm pretty sure it was regular Domination on Raid.
The more open the map is, the better!
I've heard that escort drones and stealth choppers target people depending on the danger level to the person who called it in. Is that true?
Can you do an in depth on the escort drone and why it's so underpowered? Thank you
You can dodge hunter killer drones by diving prone it works every time for me.
Please do a C4 in depth and reveal to treyarch how broken it is.

Apparently blind eye doesn't save you from sentry guns. You can also take out a sentry gun with a bouncing betty. Learned this today.
two good scorestreaks with a swarm are k9 unit and VSAT
i got a k9 unit from a care package once, really good things are rare.
never had a game so smooth and un laggy as you
What about black hat, with choppers and stuff will it target you more?
Great video, I was curious about the AI and the prioritizing that the helicopter does makes sense. I always wondered why it seemed to turn and face me (if I wasnt using blind air or protection from AI) when I lock on with the missile. It seemed to always kill me after I fired once. Just didnt twig the prioritizing.
Was that map a new version of the Firing Range from Black Ops 1?
what perk protects against the single hunter killer and the sentry gun?
There's actually a trick: you have to put on flak jacket, and when you hear the beeping and you know that it's about to hit you, you do the dolphin dive. You will barely survive and this doesn't work without flak jacket.
The aggro with helicopters is actually pretty neat IMO
