I didn't use that perk the whole time I had the game untill about a week ago and I have to say that you must suck if your having such a problem with it because I average about 1 kill a game with it because its so easy to run away once the grenade symbol pops up. I really cant see what your problem is.

Its funny that you that people with low skils use it, but you are not skillful enough to avoid a grenade that blows up a few seconds after the person dies.

I cant believe people have not learned that once you drop some one dead RUN!!! Its the first thing I do no matter the situation, its like a nervous twitch that I got ever since I started playing. I do agree I feel like a noob when ever I get killed by this perk but hey learn a way to avoid it whether it is hauling ass or picking up the grenade and committing suicide in order for the deceased enemy to not get the kill.

yeah, like others above, it's a good idea to leave the site where you got the kill since there is agood chance that one of their teammates saw you on their radar.

That was one of the reasons, they mentioned it when the games multiplayer was first being developed and perks were first mentioned. I tihnk it is a great perk and not very hard to get used to.

No grenade symbol on hardcore, and on any surface besides pavement, you cant hear it either. But everyone by now should know to just run away when you kill someone.

I like the perk, it's your fault if you run over my body after knifing me but ussually it can be avoided, and it's better then Juggernuat, whcih is pretty unfair, I mean a shot to the chest with a M40 and all you see is that damn cross gives you a feeling of hate

Get over it... every perk is well, a PERK. It puts you at an advantage in some way (PERK) over another player. It is just how it is and if your stupid enough to keep running over bodies you kill without listening for the blatantly obvious clink of a grenade hitting, then you deserve to die.

i hate it when people cry about perks and call people "noobs" or w/e for using them. i use the martyrdom perks because theres alot of people that are low on brains. as long as theres dumb*sses that keep running over my grenade after they kill me, im gonna keep using it. you play to win the game.

I only use it for the challenge. I only get killed by it when I run into something that I cannot see after getting a close up kill. Or someone is shooting and forces me into the grenade. All is fair in war. Besides, I just blew your face off anyway.

I don't mind it because it's easy to get away from it and if you've played for a while you know to stay away from fresh bodies. What I hate is juggernaut, I think it's lame to use and hate it when i see someone use it. Love , Love the game, the best ever!!

why is this even a perk. i mean call of duty 4 is a great game, but this perk is so gay its like terrorism running to the other team and dropping a grenade. but otherwise cod4 is beast.adamjl140

It's MARTYRDOM. I can't believe how many times people call it MARTYDOM. There is an R in between the Y and the D. For reference, it's pronounced Mar-Ter-Dum, not Mar-tee-dum. So please, for the love of God, learn how to speak and spell the word MARTYRDOM. That goes for everyone.

Now, that said, the game tells you when they drop a nade and you hear it tink on the ground as well, so maybe next time you should try.....I don't know.......running away? Seems like that works for me. Or you could just not be a knife wench and use your gun from range instead of trying to be cool and melee everyone.

yea its good to keep you on your toes when runnin and gunnin. you learn to not step on the body of whoever you just killed.....

i do use martydom sometimes though... I have one class w/ a shotgun.. so it fits perfect with the style of the class...

It can get annoying, but its part of the game and you get used to it over time.

Yea it's a little annoying. But if you think about it it is very fair. These guy's devout a perk slot to have the ability to take someone out. After they die. What makes this less fair then, say, Steady Aim? With steady aim at close range you don't even have to aim down the sights. It allows players to react a little later and still deliver the acuracy of aiming down the sights. At close range. And what about Dead Silence? How is that more fair then Martyrdom? How is it fair that you can move so silently and be unnoticed? Or what about Eavesdroping? Why should they be able to hear your team talk? That gives them a high advantage in competetive games. Also Deap Impact is not fair by the way you put it. You should not be able to shoot through walls so easily. It is a unfair advantage. Same with Iron Lungs. Because of that perk you can hold your breate longer. Line up your shot better. And in effect out-snipe other players. That's not fair. Last stand is also not fair. Why should they get a life extension? You already killed them and there they are lying on the ground. Alive, as someone steals your kill. Not fair.

My point is, if martyrdom is unfair then all perks in "Perk slot 3" are. Same would go for "Perk slots" 1, and 2. If I may ask, what perks do you use? Mabe I think your perk is a unfair advantage. Cause I don't like that you can hustle farther then me, and beat me to positions. Or I don't like that you can shoot through brick walls to kill me. My point is that if someone is using Martyrdom, then they are sacraficing all those other perks and advantages. So before you go saying martyrdom is unfair. mabe you should think about the advantage your perk gives you, and that they sacraficed all those other perks for that one.

One more thing. I do not use martyrdom. I use steady aim, or deap impact. With stopping power and extra Frags : )

Alomst forgot. Martyrdom is not even that annoying. it was when the game first came out, but then you learn how to avoid it. Which is easy. It's like mauler charging at the begining of Halo 3. You get used to it a nd realixe that it is not that effective. Just be a little more cautious, and don'y go charging right at the guy you killed. Try to avoid, and stop you complaining. The prk is perfectly fair.

Yeah but every idiot should know not to use it in hardcore because of friendly fire but there are always selfish players that use it anyway and end up costing their team the game.

I ain't a big fan but I use it for the shotgun class since I have to get up close.

But I can't understand why a sniper, who wants to pick enemies from a distance would use it, I have seen that happen.

But yeah it can get overused, when I use any other type of gun I find matrydom pointless because I need that space for a better perk.

Martyrdom isn't cheap. It's a useless perk considering most people know how to dodge it.

And lol @ people who can't spell martyrdom. Stay in school.
