Talk about punishing people who are good at the game and going on a kill streak, this perk makes it so "enemies on a Killstreak have a crosshair indicator on your minimap. Receive extra score for taking them down."

There's literally no counter to it besides...not being good at the game? Good luck being stealthy if you've got a constant marker on people's minimap any time you go on any sort of killstreak. That's going to ruin the game for a lot of skilled players. Have they not realized catering the game to the lowest common denominator is the easiest way to piss off your loyal fans? Just my two cents. Should at least have the ability to counter it with another perk like Ghost or something.

Just to provide some clarity here: Players only receive the special indicator if they would have been identified on the mini-map. Using suppressed weapons, perks, and tactics to stay off the mini-map will prevent you from being identified.

So basically, it just changes the shape of their indicator on the map, not a constant mark?

Correct. A player would need to be on a killstreak using unsuppressed weapons, not using Ghost while a Spy Plane is active, or not moving/defusing/planting/controlling streaks while having Ghost equipped while a Spy Plane is active in order to be identified with the special indicator on the mini-map.

Good to know but since most people though the perk works as a "good player UAV", It isn´t better to change the text? (sry my bad english)

We'll definitely take a look at the description.
