Modern Warfare 2: Custom Killstreak details

Via CVG: Robert Bowling offered PSM3 more info: "You can have a three killstreak or a fifteen killstreak if you want, or something like the AC-130 [firing down in black and white from an airborne gunship] is one of the highest killstreaks you can select," he said. "You take control of that and can fire down for thirty seconds, blow guys up," he so subtly put it.

Does anyone else think that it sounds like they're trying too hard?

I sure hope this works out.

[hakeem0996]

it's not trying too hard at all.they are just giving the more expert players some challenges.Imagine costumizing a 3,20,30 and 50 killstreak.Damn tht would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone able to achieve that deserve any means of destruction available to him

[randomwiz]

i dont think they're trying too hard

its good for beginners and good for players like me.

I just hope there's a 57 killstreak option, so my efforts don't go unknown like in COD4 /brag

[kevinx1000]

Well, the game needed some new stuff after 2 previous games with almost the same multiplayer so i think it's good they add some stuff.

[Joey Greco RULES]

I like how you went from 3 to 20, lol. thats quite a leap.

[Sarcasm]

The highest kill streak I got in COD4 was 23. Never happened again though lmao.

Yeah yeah, I suck blah blah blah.

[Alcon Caper]

I've only gotten 21. It's always like one guy gets like 50 kills in one game, then the rest only get like 10.

[peeps]

"It's always like one guy gets like 50 kills in one game, then the rest only get like 10. "

yeh imo the killstreaks kinda imbalanced things in cod4/waw. what i mean is if you got off to a good start then suddenly you could see the enemies positions = not exactly hard to get another 2 kills when u can see the enemies on the map! b4 you know it you've got an airstike (while the uav is still up) and so thats another 2+ easy kills and then you get a helicoptor to do the work for you.

which is why you usually get some ppl getting an average score. maybe 2.0 ish if they're good and then the top guys getting really high k/d cus the ai has been doing all the work

[UnSelf]

I think ill pick this 1 up after I've mastered the MP's of:

Uncharted 2
Mag
Sigma 2
Demon souls
Gt5

Yiiipeee so much mp glory to be had!

[Sarcasm]

So you're gonna get this game around when COD7 launches I see.

[UnSelf]

Yea sumthing like that. Even then I prolly jus borrow it frm a friend. Idk y but the cod series neva captured me like it did wit so many others. I mean I was a halo 2/3 fanatic, then every1 made the switch to cod4 and I kinda didn't see the appeal. The irony is I always begged for a modern war shooter and here I got 1 and detest it.

Also killzone 2 did sumthing to me where I can no longer take any other fps seriously.

The controls on kz2 r so damn good its almost like I wish every other fps game played like that.

My nxt anticipated fps for sure is kz3

[El Botto]

Awesome. Hope the balance is alright. Since its customizable, it seems to me that every multi player match will now be filled with killstreaks.

Every 10 seconds, something will happen. If thats the case, the game will be ruined.

[kevinx1000]

if the 3 kill streak will be a weapon, that's ^^ very likely.

[Tee7soo]

i was a legend in cod 4 , i well be the best in cod mw 2 no doubt .
ask anyone about
KING Mustafa .

[IDetonation]

Nope.
Never heard of you. :]
I'm sure your bad anyways..

[PlayStation X]

lol
go sit in your corner n shut up

[Peow]

I can't wait for this. My buddies from Benning and Sill all have this preordered now. Can't wait to kick ass with them in this game...

Till I go to real combat. :/

[Alcon Caper]

Whoa. Well, when you do go, just know how awesome you are and that if it weren't for guys like you, we wouldn't live in a place that lets us play games and comment on N4G and everything. Seriously, thanks!!

[Tee7soo]

i play on pc !!
my best streak is 71 kills .

[PlayStation X]

me>you

[Ron_Burgundy]

8 killsteak, RRoD the competition

[Alcon Caper]

This video shows it only takes 11 kills to get the AC 130.

That's not incredibly high, especially if you have other killstreak bonuses paving the way.

It'd be nice to make it follow a point system, where you only have so many points to use for each bonus, maybe some people would want to pour all their points into one AC 130, or maybe some people would want several speed bonuses--stuff like that.

I wonder how many bonuses you can choose at one time...

[PlayStation X]

hmmmm
more reasons for people to camp =/

[carajito]

People are just going to sit around hoping not to die and it will be boring as hell.

I just hope they dont over do it .. you know with the 50 maybe top will be 20.

[Tee7soo]

i own ya on pc
don't even compere a legend like me to a noob like you .

[ChozenWoan]

So not gonna get this game. Between the lag, glitchers, and the kill streak disparity.

Campers tend to be the highest ranking at the end of a match, while I'm usually in the top three and been on the front lines the whole time. I go UAV jammer with Silencers and go hunt down my kills 1 by 1. Usually targeting the snipers and campers I find, not to mention their support personnel and claymores. But in the end, always some camper at top spot after calling in an air strike on the right spawn points, and followed by choppers clearing out fields of enemies. So personally they may have killed 5, the rest is purely the work of the AI... nice work IW for making sure MW2 is more of the same.

[cyberwaffles]

something tells me this is going to lead to massive camping. i mean some people just stay in the same spot to get their damn helicopter, just imagine how much they'll camp just to get a 15 kill streak or whatever.
