Killstreak Format

[joecapps1127]

Here me out on this...

My friend and I who play Xbox everyday together were talking decided that Modern Warfare 2 is extremely annoying because of the unbalanced killstreaks. We have both tried barebones, and although it is better, we still want SOME killstreaks.

We thought it would be a great idea to have a certain game mode where the killstreaks were based on the killstreaks in COD 4 (a.k.a. arguably the best 1st person shooter to date). It was so simple with 3, 5 and 7 killstreaks and they were VERY balanced because everybody has the same killstreaks and they are by no stretch overpowering.

What do you guys think? Vote in the poll and give your reasoning below

P.S. I will be fair and not vote to see what everybody else's opinions are

C'mon guys, keep voting and put your reasoning!

I think no killstreaks would be good, but also a bit boring as well. Can you imagine all the camping with no UAV? So yes there should be killstreaks, but make sure that you can't go from 11 kills to 25 kills in like 60 seconds. *cough* MW2 *cough*.

Well, OP, you need to add another option like "Different Killstreaks" and maybe give a range like from 5 - 20 as an example. I am not going to vote for any of them as i dont agree with any of them....

Oh and btw, misleading title, i suggest you change that now...

I've always wanted the 3-5-7 format back, but it wont happen. Treyarch will move forward instead of backtracking.

i liked the idea Infinity ward had with MW2's kill streaks i just didnt like the way they presented it. If Treyarch does the same without the retarded killstreaks *such as nuke, Chopper gunner etc.* i'll be happy because i like customizing my stuff :3 the more customization the better! :]

they should be like 3,5, and 7

But like you can only choose in that format like Choose" RC, UAV or something else for 3 killstreak

[Zieghail]

3,5,7.

That is all.

I play barebones about half the time I am on mw2 and I can safely say that it is not boring, hardly any "camping" going on, full of action.

I guess the discussion can be looked at from both sides.

will people "camp" because of no uav? in reality, people who camp often are going to camp no matter what the condition.

will people move around more because of no kill streak rewards? I tend to think this is what happens more often than not, and in fact this is what I see most often.

I think people will move around more because of two reasons:

1. you no longer have to worry about airsupport crushing your team so you no longer have to wait or hide until it leaves(especially true for those who don't have cold blooded and stingers unlocked)

2. since you can no longer get airsupport by hiding and trying to ambush people, then you no longer have an incentive to behave this way and boredom would set in just waiting in a corner.

I can honestly say, in regular core mode, I tend to play more defensively, while in barebones I'll play a good bit more aggresively

now as far as what format should be for core mode, I like the idea of customizable kill streak rewards, and prefer the idea of kills from killstreaks NOT counting towards your next kill streak reward. I think you should be rewarded for something that you do, not something that the game does for you.
