Why are predator missiles atrracted to me?

Come on, own up.

Which one of you has painted a comedy target on top of my head?

I SWEAR, no matter where I am on any map as soon as I hear 'enemy predator missile inbound' I know I'll be dead in the next 5 seconds.

It was even commented on by a friend last night who says that he normally suffers, but while playing alongside me he didn't get hit by a single one....

Try using Cold Blooded, a lot less likely to be spotted...

I got almost a full team the other night with a Predator. I'm pretty sure you were in the middle of them.

Was it this team you went up against ?



And were you glitching and using the actual Predator and not the Predator Missile



That would be a cool killstreak

Are you perhaps a giant walking magnet?

No.. will admit whenever the red dot appears I run for cover as they always seem to target me too, darn them!

Did you accidentally select the Tin Foil Hat perk?

Give 'Cold Blooded' a go, it's the way ahead!

Re: Why are predator missiles atrracted to me?

I think I have the same problem. On one game I heard "Predator Incoming" and was with a group of team-mates. I ran in one direction and they all ran in the other and the Predator followed me.

Since then I've ran into buildings for cover whenever I hear it. What happens? The Predator lands somewhere close to the building and I still die. No problem - I'll start using that tactic -they must have a big blast radius. Well not for me, I've now switched Predators off my kill streak and have gone for the Harrier strike.

Pretty much sums it up for me!
