SMMFH. Why the fukk would they bring back blind eye? That's a p*ssy perk. Hide you from air support. Also looks like the damn panic knifing is still there
Um, they have to give you the ability to be invisible from Air Support, otherwise, killstreaks would be overpowered. Stop using killstreaks and ppl will stop using blind eye.
