If one of those was in the process of going off, I often just quit and it got even worse and resulted in a lot of angry people if it suddenly resulted in a host migration. There was honestly no point in hanging around once those fired off, and very often the person who did it had already just done a massive blow to your team with a chopper gunner or AC-130, and chances were pretty good you had already died at least a few times to their nonsense. Forcing them to wait through a host migration was often a satisfying way of getting back at them, but... it's not the most honorable thing to do. :P

I also agree that a lot of Call of Duty's ultimate kill streak rewards (dogs, nuke) are insane and stupidly unrealistic and are an absolute pain to be faced with, but using them yourself is a gleeful guilty pleasure. Most of the time I try to be a good sport about these things, but there are moments when I've had it and just pull the plug before it gets any worse.

I haven't played a CoD game since the original Black Ops (save for a Black Op II free weekend that I barely used), so I don't know if they've gotten better or worse regarding these things. I'd still say it's pretty unlikely I'd return to that franchise, though, since I've met a lot of... rather not-so-pleasant individuals on it.
Yeah I loved MW2 and that's the only I'm mainly talking about; I got through three or four copies of it because I kept smashing them :x
The AC-130s/Nukes were really annoying. I never got one (didn't see the point, and my 25 kill streaks were only when it wasn't equipped) and I used to quit when they happened too. The thing that made me angriest was the connection, because a lot of people on my friends list were Americans so it's always put me in US servers and I'd have one bar the entire game!!

I stopped playing after Black Ops as well. To be honest I think I got bored of it because it gets stale after several years of solidly playing, it's very repetitive. I used to do competitive in COD4/MW2 and I guess it burned me out. My boyfriend plays it still and I sometimes watch. He enjoys it but they've implemented weird movement systems and it's a bit too fast paced for me now. Yeah, the main demographic seems to be 10 year olds who find certain offensive words absolutely hilarious :|
