I’ve always ran cold blooded in cod, mainly to avoid kill streak targeting during the mid to end game. I running it in this cod too. It’s quite disappointing that it doesn’t counter some scopes. I’m not entirely sure I run it consistently now, maybe swap out when kill streaks go up. Not really seeing high alert use in mp either. Great video too! Look forward to seeing more!
I agree! So many other channels are just TOP 15 or BEST 10 but don't cover any of the details or reasoning, but just throw flashy graphics into it and looking to make some views as their main goal.
3:15 This is what I came here for to confirm. Using Cold-Blooded in my Anti-Air loadout now. If the opposing team gets up a Chopper Gunner, you can switch to your Anti-Air loadout (ideally bind it to F1, then press F2 to quickly switch back to your main loadout). Usually the red-marked enemies are being shot at first so you got some extra time to deal damage. I am using the Sakin because it is the only LMG that comes with a 150 rounds drum magazine, put on some +range/velocity mods and AP rounds and it's hell of a support for your PILA or RPG to take out whatever is harassing you from the skies.
@@bemusedmusician807 Yeah, my comment is 2m old, tried LMG back then but battle rifles are indeed better, specifically the SO-14. TheXclusiveAce did some testing and the most dmg vs killstreaks can indeed be done with that weapon. Full setup is +Sakin Thread muzzle, +Boremaster Barrel, +50 round mag, and the Slimline Pro. I am still using it and it shoots down stuff super quickly. And as you said, full auto is the way to go. :D
I use it mainly because 90% of the games I join are in progress with VTOLs already in the air lol. Also helps against snipers with spotter scopes in GW/invasion I've found. They can still spot you by the black diamond icon but it makes it more difficult to track and ping you. High alert counter is nice too. Would I rather be using restock or fast hands? Yea, but I often find it's benefits outweighing those perks.
I started using cold blooded since every try hard runs high alert. Idk why but it's like they have less awareness that they have to rely on " high alert". I usually just remain unseen and slice them all or execute when the time seems perfect
Honestly it should get rid of the red diamond and be a bit more consistent vs thermal optics. Maybe even protect from the heartbeat and motion sensor instead of ghost! Overall happy tho
Yeah the red diamonds are OP as hell, not as bad as Vanguard where literally all you did all game was look for the red diamonds, but if Cold blooded hid the diamond literally everyone would be using it.
@@FavstaRGaming Yeah i played Vanguard allot, and now i have a really hard time adjusting to MW2 i miss the piercing vision perk, i got use to just shoot the red outline figure... But i think its for the best the piercing vision is gone in MW2
Yes the Cold Blooded perk is viable in the game, it gives you full advantage against players using High Alert perk. Back in MW2019, Cold Blooded perk was very much essential must use perk like it's mandatory because High Alert was overused and it gave players an unfair advantage.
Cold blooded is the only reason not to use and automatic killstreak for your highest cost one. And some of the automatic kill streaks can secure games. It is definitely makes cold blooded viable
I like cold blooded and use it for the high alert benefit, It seems many people use it since I see others spin around when I ADS. Love the videos Favstar, look forward to more.
It's one of the better bonus perks but overall I prefer fast hands or hardline. Fast hands always keeps my gun up and any important equipment to be deployed, hardline allows so many easy streaks in hardpoint which can allow for longer defense or a complete wipe of the defenders.
Hey bro awesome video and very well made ! sorry I'm very late but I was wondering if you actually can remove the red diamond shape enemy reveal tag ? thanks for answering !
I never use this perk cuz the benefits just don't outweigh other perks for me. I actually forget about it most of the time. However, I might start using it on my Killstreak Killer class, so I can take out kill streaks without them targeting me lol
It's good for an anti-killstreak class and it's also really good on Shipment since it keeps you safe from VTOL spam and the other perks don't matter as much on a tiny map.
As an SnD player, cold blooded is unfortunately not worth running except against high alert crutch players. The resistance to marking is meaningless when live pinging enemies exist. Live pings are good to have on WZ and DMZ, but it has no business in regular MP. For those who dont know, live pinging is enabled in regular MP, which means when you ping an enemy a red marker will follow them for 3-5 secs. This red marker is visible through walls and has absolutely 0 counterplay. Basically built-in wallhacks that everyone has and no one can hide from at the press of a button
Agreed with you about snd, it's actually pretty good though on 6v6 shipment when there's apparently unlimited VTOL's. Does the live pinging work on Cold Blooded enemies?
@@FavstaRGaming yes! Live pinging does work on cold blooded enemies. The craziest part is you can live ping a cold-blooded enemy using a drone. There’s 2 types of ping: player-input and automatic. Auto-marking (recon drone, camera, etc) is countered by cold blooded, but player pings (using d pad) not only are uncounterable, they work while using the drones and cams. Cold blooded does literally nothing to counter the drones and the camera
@@FavstaRGaming oh yes, the auto ping does get disabled. But you can still manually ping enemies through the drone/camera. Cold blooded also does NOT counter the tactical camera notification triggered by motion detected on the camera’s bigger rectangle, which is ridiculous imo. How i would balance it is make it so cold blooded makes you fully invisible on targeting systems (no black square through walls), make it so it does NOT send notification on tactical camera, and remove live pinging entirely. Regular pings are fine, but live pings following enemies for a few seconds has no business in MP
Great video ... really like the quality and style..... Can you add smoke grenade to the test I noticed the thermal scope I have doesn't see through smoke. Interesting to see which ones do if any... Thanks
Hey thanks Boss, the smoke is currently bugged so it wasn't possible to do proper testing. I'll probably have another look after it gets fixed. Thanks for watching!
Does Colblooded prevent you from being 'Pinged' by players? This is the only feature putting me off the game - the fact it's in S&D seems insane to me.
Hey VVV, is it worth buying? That’s a tough question to answer in a comment response but here’s a really quick rundown IMO…. The GOOD…. -Gunplay feels awesome and satisfying overall -Sound is awesome -90% of maps are really good -Tons of Killstreaks that actually get kills and are fun to use -New Invasion game mode is actually pretty chaotic and fun The BAD… - New weapon unlock system is confusing and forces you to play with trash weapons - New perk charge up system sucks - Quite a few game bugs and crashes, even on console - Appears unfinished with a lot of missing features. No Hardcore, no Theater Mode, no Combat Record, no League Play, no Map Voting - SBMM is harsh - Loud footsteps (not as bad as MW 2019, but still pretty loud) - One really bad map, basically a parking lot full of cars that people camp behind Summary… I would buy it, it’s a decent COD.
@@FavstaRGaming Thanks, appreciate that. Although I really didn't like Ground War or Invasion in the beta tbh, just thought the Sa'id map had waaay too many rooftops and the other was too big
Why on earth did they put giant diamonds over your head? We never had these in old cod, honestly it ruins the game when you can ‘see’ enemies through smoke with the stupid diamonds
I agree the diamonds are ridiculous, not as bad as Vanguard but still crazy OP. Basically too many people complaining that they can’t see enemies so that was they’re solution. Old CODs were more ‘cartoony’ and enemy player models popped off the screen a little better than they do today.
COD has always had some kind of identifier above players. It used to be the full name but you had to aim at them to see it. Now you can chose between and diamond or just diamond and its much easier to see.
@@FavstaRGaming I've died to the Vtol while Cold Blooded was active at least 35 times. Sometimes teammates were nearby and sometimes I was alone. I've been standing still afk, shooting a launcher at it, running around and moving slowly. I have not noticed if there was ever a case where it did not shoot me when it could have.
I dont understand how you can say its the best version of cold blooded in years, when it works exactly the same in MW2019. Unless by years you mean since MW2019.
I’ve always ran cold blooded in cod, mainly to avoid kill streak targeting during the mid to end game. I running it in this cod too. It’s quite disappointing that it doesn’t counter some scopes.

Hey Grrinc what's up? This is the first COD I've used Cold Blooded in, it definitely helps keep you alive especially in Ground War
Its good that it doesn't counter some scopes. It provides balance.
It used to be:
BLIND EYE
ASSASSIN and
Dead Silence
now it's Cold Blooded, Ghost and Dead Silence is a field upgrade.
COD sure went downhill. I use to run Scavenger, Assassin and, Dead Silence smh.
@@PraiseThaDon COD is on it's way down for sure.
I started using cold-blooded and i could freely run outside without being afraid of dying to a vtol jet :D
One of the most underrated channels out there. Nice to see more videos from you, FavstaR. 👍
This just makes players not shoot down the god damn harrier
Plzzzz just shoot it down and you’ll be able to use slight hands 👁️👄👁️
@@mypeteskimo5307 yeah, the VTOL would go down faster if everyone targeted it.
I agree! So many other channels are just TOP 15 or BEST 10 but don't cover any of the details or reasoning, but just throw flashy graphics into it and looking to make some views as their main goal.
The goat has return!!! Can’t wait for more MW2 videos from you bro!

You should use a battle rifle on automatic mode and with incendiary rounds.

Agree about Fast Hands, it's more important now since we no longer have reload canceling.

W, run it 24/7 in warzone to combat high alert
Love it. Missed your videos.
More to come!
I love you brother! Your video is so helpful and concise.
Hey thanks double D!

@@FavstaRGaming sorry for double reply. As a fun little fact: you can have 2 live pings on an enemy at the same time. Double the wallhacks
Well it does counter the camera auto-ping, check out my video on it
@@FavstaRGaming oh yes, the auto ping does get disabled. But you can still manually ping enemies through the drone/camera. Cold blooded also does NOT counter the tactical camera notification triggered by motion detected on the camera’s bigger rectangle, which is ridiculous imo.

hope they added effect that cold-blooded hide the red diamond too
They did that in Black Ops Cold War, but they didn't hide it entirely, it only made it appear in a tighter cone. I don't think they'll do that in MW2.
Great video ... really like the quality and style.....
Can you add smoke grenade to the test I noticed the thermal scope I have doesn't see through smoke.
Interesting to see which ones do if any... Thanks
Hey thanks Boss, the smoke is currently bugged so it wasn't possible to do proper testing. I'll probably have another look after it gets fixed. Thanks for watching!
Love this videos ;)
Thank you Favstar! 🙂
Hey Gaby_D welcome back!
How do you stop Tracker? How can you counter it? Cold Blooded?
As of right now, nothing prevents the tracker footsteps
My go to bonus perk is fast hands
Yup that's probably the most popular bonus perk at this point. It's hard to go without it once you get used to it!
Your not gonna show what cold blooded looks like with the spotter scope, tac camera and recon drone all in thermal view?
Chopper gunners rekt me through smoke, and while I'm in buildings, this perk is absolutely useless against usable kill streak
In a building? possibly near a teammate without Cold Blooded.... collateral damage!
What about the vtol jet
Subbed!
Welcome to the channel!
do you think bots on Invasion will see you"?
I always run Cold Blooded / Ghost on Invasion because of the kill streak spam, and I’m a little embarrassed to say it… but yes bots have killed me lol
How about the gunsmith and weapon tuning?
Hey Marlin, it's on my 'to-do' list
does cold blooded work with the vtol?
It does
Does Colblooded prevent you from being 'Pinged' by players? This is the only feature putting me off the game - the fact it's in S&D seems insane to me.
You can still be pinged with Cold Blooded
@@FavstaRGaming Thank you : ) it should be removed from S&D imo
It's a bit OP. It should be moved to the ultimate category. I hate throwing out a tac-cam only find that all the players are using cold blooded...
Cold blooded is great.
But no one is using thermals so it limits it uses
It's useful in multiplayer, really good on Shipment for countering VTOL spam, not so good in Warzone.
Does it protect from enemy uav?
Nope
This just makes players not shoot down the god damn harrier
Plzzzz just shoot it down and you’ll be able to use slight hands 👁️👄👁️
lol your right!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾📺😀🎮
Is this game worth getting? Are the streaks any good?
Hey VVV, is it worth buying? That’s a tough question to answer in a comment response but here’s a really quick rundown IMO….
The GOOD….
-Gunplay feels awesome and satisfying overall
-Sound is awesome
-90% of maps are really good
-Tons of Killstreaks that actually get kills and are fun to use
-New Invasion game mode is actually pretty chaotic and fun
The BAD…
- New weapon unlock system is confusing and forces you to play with trash weapons
- New perk charge up system sucks
- Quite a few game bugs and crashes, even on console
- Appears unfinished with a lot of missing features. No Hardcore, no Theater Mode, no Combat Record, no League Play, no Map Voting
- SBMM is harsh
- Loud footsteps (not as bad as MW 2019, but still pretty loud)
- One really bad map, basically a parking lot full of cars that people camp behind
Summary…
I would buy it, it’s a decent COD.

“Tough competition like restock” who tf uses restock😂
Well I guess it's technically called "Re-Supply" in MW2... and who uses it? Pros & Streamers, keeps em topped up with Stims and Drill Charges.
This shitty ass perk does nothing against thermal sights i swear to god you stand out *more* with it on
It's a really noticeable benefit against the smoke airdrop, I made a video about it.
Cold Blooded does not counter the Vtol.
It did in my testing, maybe you took 'collateral damage' from a nearby teammate?
@@FavstaRGaming I've died to the Vtol while Cold Blooded was active at least 35 times. Sometimes teammates were nearby and sometimes I was alone.

I dont understand how you can say its the best version of cold blooded in years, when it works exactly the same in MW2019. Unless by years you mean since MW2019.
The perk is fuckn useless if I'm still bright pink in a thermal scope. Night vision is different
Yeah it's really strange the way they implemented Cold Blooded with the bright colors. Best version ever was in BO2 which removed enemy name tags.
