Black Ops had the option to cancel your Tactical Insertion during the Killcam, I'm wondering why MW3 doesn't have it aswell? Many a times I've been given a "spawn death" because the enemy will just sit on my T.I and wait for me spawning. It gets a bit annoying when it happens multiple times in one match.

IW really nerfed the T.I. looking back at the black ops one. Back in black ops, i would constantly run it because it kept me in the action and complimented a more aggressive play style.

In MW3 though, its not worth it. Besides the inability to cancel it, it also takes way too long to put down. For 2-3 seconds you're completely defenseless. It's meant to be put down in a high traffic area and that's definitely not the time you want to be vulnerable. Also it's much more noticeable in my opinion. My T.I. seemed to be spotted a lot less in Black ops than it is now.

Overall i wish they didn't nerf it so much. It was a great incentive in BO for me to be aggressive when i knew a death wouldn't mean a spawn on the other side of the map.

I get spawn deaths anyway due to MW3 shitty spawns no need to use T.I

You are about 2 seconds away from a gunfight whenever you spawn, wherever you spawn. I haven't found a use for Tactical Insertions in MW3. I did play around with them in Black Ops. Looked like a glowy deodorant stick.

I do agree with the above posts. The spawn system is sets you up for a gun fight every time you spawn in. Tactical Insertions are just a death trap tbh at this point in the game.

I love camping tac inserts, i will continue to do so until they are removed from the game

I'm glad they are nerfed(sad that T.I's needed nerfed)

Regardless of the few people that use them correctly,there are probably 100 people who use it for boosting or boosting in KC.

To me they serve to real purpose. Can they be useful sure,but eh. They shouldn't even be in the game they just promote cheapness.

Hiding your tac inserts are part of the deal when you use those things. If you don't hide it well enough and an enemy locates it and waits on you, that's your own fault. I'd rather tac inserts not be a win-win tool with no downside. Hide it better; don't ask for a crutch that helps your bad play.

I guess a thread about Tactical Insertions is a good place to put this little ditty from the other day. Start of a new series

Tactical insertions are useless.
You spawn 3 seconds away from the action anyway and they are often camped making them far less desirable than stuns or a port radar.

It is the most ANNOYING. THING. EVER!

I would of rage at that solution, no way he should of survive.

On topic: I also like camping near Tactical Insertions, sometimes I put a claymore or C4 for the lols.

On topic, I love to use tact inserts and I loved that you can cancel it in black ops, really stops those annoying deaths because someone camps your tact, even though they could smash it then move onto their objective. Which makes it even more annoying when the tact camper is on your team because that means you're basically one man down until the guy spawns. Hence the above comment.


I love you really, but people camping tacts is really annoying

IW removed it because they looked at Treyarch's game and thought: "Hey, that's a neat innovation with very little drawbacks... I know, let's remove it! I'll add it to list of 'good things removed', like inbuilt stats, caps/plants on the lobby leaderboard, bomb/point watermarks disappearing when you ADS, removal of T.I in FFA etc."

^ Why can't I ever get lucky like that?

Funny because the guy that got killed, his name was xXMW3xSniiPEZzXx or something like that.

i like that you cannot cancel them, for someone who doesnt use them. i mean that way there is a risk rewards, you get to choose where you spawn, that being a possible good location, but you risk being killed by someone camping it.

was too easy in bo imo, could plant it in a good spot, and if you got rushed and the person is waiting for you then you just cancel, and move on.

also as stated by everyone above, the spawns in mw3 spawn you so close to the action you rarely need to use a tac.

I camp tac inserts too. 90% of people that use them are scumbags, or snipers as they are commonly known.

Tac inserts aren't needed on CoD. As someone has mentioned you spawn within 10 seconds of an enemy every time anyway, so why do you need to use tac inserts?

I can see their use in BF3 for example, where it can take 2 or 3 minutes to cross the map, but not CoD.

If you are dumb enough to still use them, knowing there is a chance you can be spawn killed, that is your fault for being so dumb.

Why do you camp them? You could just stamp it out and be on your way. It could be ages until he dies, so your team is effectively 1 man down until he spawns in. How many more kills could you have gotten in that timeframe? But no, you decide to let your team down and camp a tact in some obscure corner of the map.

Because it's fun, and it makes me laugh.

Ever heard of that term, fun?

If I am playing against people tac inserting I have no desire to try and do well anyway, because I expect to get shot in the back as they spawn.

Plus, team mates rarely do anything to help me out when I'm trying to play well and win, so why should I care about helping them?

Would you do it if you were losing?
