seriously, its a fusion of Semtex, Tomhawk, Clyamore, Flash, and Concussion they are overused so much and have too many benefits over other tactical items. it does damage, gets throw out quickly and far, sticks to walls, dentonates if enemy comes close, has a bright 1-3 second flash and stuns aswell.
On a side note, does anyone have an explanation on why i can barely manage to get a uav with hardline on? every game, i get a kill then die. I cant manage to stay alive. i used to go well in mw3. but i cant think of a reason why i can barely get killstreaks in blops2

Use Tac mask ... Im not the geatest player but i dont find it a problem getting low level killstreaks , i use UAV, hunter killer and care package and i can get them mostly every match , so far my connection has been pretty good , maybe thats you're problem?

Got my first Lodestar after 20 hours online. FML Shock Blast isn't that great because of small effective radius, it's just annoying.

I'd agree its the best by far. Considering how impossible it is to watch every direction in BO2, it can do 1 for you. And the damn thing will get you kills pretty often too.
Why bother with concussion/flash or whatever when you have a mine version of them?

I'd rather take hits by Shock Charges over Flashbangs any day -- at least the former doesn't leave you absolutely helpless with that 10-second blind radius, and you can hear them nearby or simply have Engineer going.

I feel like the shock charge is just as bad as being blind+deaf [albeit for just a second or two versus 5+]
But they're super annoying with that... shocking noise they make.

Tactical Mask totally annihilates the effect of those annoying Shock Charges. That's why I have to use TM on all the classes.

Shock Charges don't last nearly as long. Also, they make a pretty distinct sound. I've killed more than a few campers because I heard their Shock Charge.

Everyone mentioned soundwhoring the first week. These things are noisy as hell. Constant BZZZZZZ-ZAPZAPZAP-ZAP ZAP-BZZZ on top of lightning flickering around them make them stand out pretty well. Only problem is that theyre too hard to hit on short notice.... I usually end up wasting one of my C4 for the purpose of destroying it because they're too hard to shoot

They're annoying, but there are many counters to them, so they're not OP.

There are three steps to a shock charge hit.
1) Crouch 2) Wait 1.5 seconds 3) Fire
Usually gets you a kill

Shock betties subscribe to the IW logic that an item may be infinitely powerful if it possesses an absolute counter.
A shock betty will kill you all the time, every time, if you don't see the charge, but if you have Tac Mask, you can sprint through the charge and usually kill the guy tactical loitering immediately adjacent to it.

Idk, remember they cost just as many points as your primary, and stuns/flashes have been mega-buffed this game. I find the concussion nades even more annoying than shock charges.
At least you can get 50 points just by shooting a shock charge. I suppose they dont annoy me because on almost every class I run Tac Mask. I can't live without that perk, primarily because of the super buffed stuns

my connection is fine, on the day of playing, i had 1.40-1.30 kd, and somehow its dropped to 1.1 -_- i don't even know why.
they also give 50 points for an assist, they are small to shoot and even when you shoot them, you show up and someone still knows your coming. heck, iv'e even had people who throw them at you on a 1v1.

You dont get killstreaks because you probably dont have ghost yet. Everyone is spamming UAVs and so its super hard to get higher killstreak rewards. As soon as I unlocked ghost I got a dogs + swarm in the same game, went 30-1

Do shock charges actually kill by themselves? I've never been one-hit by one.

Shock Blasts may be not so awesome, BUT in combination with betty(or more EVIL - 2 betties, MUHAHAHHA!) it becomes a true PAIN train. Do shock charges actually kill by themselves? I've never been one-hit by one. No, they don't OHK, But they can finish a heavily wounded person.

Have there been tests to see how much damage they do? If not, what ballpark would you put them in. 10 damage, 60 damage?
