So I hear people cursing martyrdom and I hear people who love martyrdom. Let's get some numbers out of curiosity! Take the poll! Tell me how you feel about it :)

It just adds to the nade fest, but it works.

Honestly Martyrdom is the n00best thing ever and should be banned from Cains Lair, it takes zero skill to use and most of the people who use it get not half but all of their kills from it. I see people just run out into the open and then get wasted by a shotgun only to drop a nade and blow half my team away. Call of Duty 4 should be realistic to a point and Martyrdom is just something that rips the title "Modern Warfare" away and puts in the name kids playground.
The only time this should ever become a legit perk is when one of the n00bs behind the screen who use this perk actualy got shot and then tried to drop a live grenade, only then should they get the dishonor to be able to use this waste of a perk.
Sorry if im ofensive to anybody but just after seeing my whole teams but get riped to little peices by a couple people using this + Sonic Boom Perk + x3 Frag Perk, you need to understand...

Oh yea and I forgot the mention the only people who can use this perk other than people who get shot and actualy drop a live nade are servers owners such as Cain, their special and can use it and I support theme 100%... :)

The only time I would ever and have ever used it is on a sertain map, I forgot what it was called but its sooo small grenades actualy go from your spawn and if you aim to high they go out of the map.
It's a map wear its just containers, I think its called like Storage or something...
Anyway, its the only map I would ever use it on, becaus their its just a nade fest and your obviously gona get owned so might aswell take a few people with you...

I have it set on one of my classes. On the others i have more useful perks that get me more kills. :)

I don't have anything truly useful yet, but I do have that, and use it. Mainly because I was sick of just walking around and stumbling into the dang things from some other guy's kill. It was a sweet moment when I realized I had it, and could get my own cheap kills. :P :wink:
It's not on all my classes. I'm not relying on it.

I was using it but I found that I wasn't killing too many people with it. I prefer Deep impact.

I prefer other perks, but it's a very useful tool. However does get very annoying quick, but I choose the second option

I picked the second option, but in reality my choice is "I don't use it, but it doesn't bother me."
I prefer the other perks, but I have used it and last stand to get the associated challenges.

I use it on some maps, with certain weapons.
I honestly don't know why so many people have a problem with it. Like everything else that kills me, I've learned to adapt. I can escape from a Martyrdom grenade at least 80% of the time. Really the only time it gets me is if someone's in my way and I can't move. :shock:

I don't mind it much, but when every single person has it on a small map, it sucks. Vacant is ruined by grenades, 25-50% of the time it's from this perk.

FF hardcore mode = no nadespam, no m203s, and no martyrdom.
It's heaven.

I use it a lot but I am probably going to switch out of it. It doesnt bother me either since I have learned not to walk over anyone I just killed.

Early on, it killed me alot. Now I make sure they are dead if using
last stand, and run if I see a nade drop. Of course, with people blocking
your escape route, i.e. standing in the door/route, you do get killed that
way sometimes. Never fails to amaze me when people crowd behind you,
a kill drops a nade, and there is nowhere to go. :cry: 3-5 easy kills
in one blast.
So I assume that they are dropping nades until proven otherwise. :2thumbs:
I can see that this would be an easy killer, if you EMP'd, and THEN ran
into the group. You either will kill them all, or blow them up. :twisted:

Welp,.. personally,... I Use and love martyrdom and I use and love the grenade launcher as well,...
Both may be considered by some as noobish,.. so what. It's in the game, I use it.
You don't like it,... tough, don't walk over me after you shoot me! <G>

Awww Geddy. I've killed my fair share of people with the newb toob
myself. :twisted: I just like the red dot better than the 2 shots. Iron
sights are hard to use with these old eyes. :wink:
And the 3 nades perk. :D
I do better at med-long distance fights and deep penetration, so I try to
avoid up close and personal 1v1's unless i'm house hunting or tunnel
tromping. To each his/her own.

Its a kids game they love that kind of crap, but does it actually further the cause of the team, just seems like a stat padding device to me.
And most that use it are not smart enough to turn it off on hardcore servers, its just annoying. :pissed:

Now the only class I use it with is my shotgun one since I get up close and personal with it so if I lose then some of the time ill be taking them with me. I mostly use deep impact now.

Martyrdom isn't that big a deal. If you're smart you realise that alot of people are using it and you don't go running twords someone after you fill em full of holes. The best way to avoid it is to always assume someone is using it. Some people like it because it's a nice way to get back at someone for shooting you lol. Personally, I think it's funny when you shoot someone that has it and their grenade drops in a group of their own guys and someone tries to pick it up and throw it away from the group...when they do this, it becomes their active grenade and usually blow up before they can get rid of it. That's always fun to watch :D

Why did you call me loser when I martydomed you tonight, Just wondering?

For those Hardcore serves with lots of admin presence,
Using Martyrdom will get you kicked. Warned first time, kicked or
banned if it happens again. Since you CAN TK your buddies.
Choke point at start, and say a sniper gets lucky and kills you. :oops:
You drop a nade and 5-6 people get fried because you "Forgot" to change
your perks. Hardcore servers are often much smaller player counts, so getting 1/4 to 1/2 your team wiped at the start of the match totally
changes the dynamics of the round. Then you have to wait for the round
to complete, and get tons of lovely chat messages. :twisted:

These HARD CORE servers can live without me,... no desire to play them, no need.
I play only at Cain's,.. therefore no need to worry about using martyrdom or not.
Simple solution.

Remember, Cain has two servers up right now. The other is a KOTH/HQ and needs regs to play there if the other server is full. Those of you that complain about two many players should be over there more too. :D

I do find it an annoyance but, really it's quite easy to deal with. I'd rather use something else.
