Yes and no. Martydom is still in as a deathstreak, so now it takes 4 deaths in a row without a single kill to get it instead of getting it every life. You rarely come across it because of this, but when you do the blast radius feels quite big IMO.
I haven't been killed with it either it's just that I've killed a few people with it and they sure do hurl a few turds at you for it. Don't blame them though, the only reason I use it is because I didn't want to watch the killcam with copycat and the juggernaut one is too much effects for my eyes.
i don't see why people hate this game so much? its a ARCADE shooter its not realistic, if you want realistic go to BF2(although that's not very realistic)
Me and then I ran away screaming like a small girl haha.
It is good for practice, as you can pick how many come at you as if you kill them before you press. First time though I didn't know and got killed almost instantly
