Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called “Tactical Insertion” in the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride figuring this thing out. At first, I was like, “What the heck is this thing and why would I even use it?” You know?
So, here’s the deal: this Tactical Insertion thing lets you pick where you respawn after you, well, kick the bucket. Sounds cool, right? But it’s not as straightforward as it sounds. You drop this flare thingy on the ground, and that’s supposed to be your new home base when you respawn. But, and it’s a big BUT, you can only drop it right under your feet. No throwing it across the map or anything fancy like that.
First time I tried it, I was in the middle of a firefight, and I thought, “Oh, I’ll just drop this here and surprise them when I come back.” Yeah, didn’t work out that way. I dropped it, got blasted, and then I was back, right in the same spot, only to get taken out again. Not my brightest moment, I admit.
Then I started experimenting. I dropped the flare in some sneaky spots, behind corners, on rooftops, you name it. Sometimes it worked like a charm. I’d respawn, get the drop on some unsuspecting enemy, and feel like a total boss. Other times, not so much. I quickly learned that the enemy can destroy your little flare. They just stand over it, do some magic, or shoot at it, and poof, it’s gone. So much for my master plan, huh?
Oh, and here’s another thing – it’s a one-time use. You drop it, you use it, and that’s it. No second chances. And if you’re in a game mode where you don’t respawn, like Search and Destroy, it’s basically a useless paperweight. Plus, to use this thing, you gotta give up something else, like your C4 or Semtex. So, you’re trading off some serious firepower for this respawn trick.
- Deploying it is easy, just press L2 or whatever your button is.
- Next time you die, boom, you’re back where you left the flare.
- But here’s a tip: when you’re respawning, you can cancel it. Super useful if you realize you’re about to respawn in a death trap.
So, after all this trial and error, what’s the verdict? It’s tricky, man. You really gotta think about where and when to use it. It’s not just a “set it and forget it” kind of deal. You gotta be smart, predict where the action’s gonna be, and hope your enemy doesn’t stumble upon your little beacon of hope.
Is it worth it?
Honestly, it depends. If you’re a sneaky player who likes to outsmart your opponents, yeah, it could be your new best friend. But if you’re more of a run-and-gun type, you might be better off sticking with your explosives. It’s all about your play style, I guess.
In the end, I’m still messing around with it. Some days I love it, other days I’m cursing at it. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? Figuring out these little quirks and seeing if you can make them work for you. It’s like a puzzle, and who doesn’t love a good puzzle? Especially when it involves outsmarting some dude halfway across the world. That’s all from me for now. Keep gaming, folks!
