One match i respawn in the same spot i did at 3 times in a row. and i spawn dead (by that i mean spawn in AC130 explosion) at least 4 times in that same game. Every since then i vow to blow up everyones kill streak.

Honestly, the Killstreaks make MW2 a different kind of game. You have to watch for infantry and for aircraft.
And, you know, Stingers are there for you. They're ALWAYS there for you (Unless you're <30.) One guy can take out an AC-130 in one life if he has a Stinger and Scavenger.

Firstly, the only killstreak you can't easily get rid of that you need to is the AC 130. The rest are easily shot down (except EMP but you can live with that). All you need is coldblooded and a stinger, which you get at level 30. A stinger alone is enough, but coldblooded makes it that much easier.
I disagree with that. The only way to get a 25 kill streak is to camp like a *****. Camping works, and unless your an absurd god of gaming, its the only way. It also feels like cheating though.Pandalisk said:
I will freely admit that getting the nuke implies either an epic streak of luck or actual skill. That said, I can attest to the simple fact if I get five kills in one life, I'm almost assuredly going to get the next 5 handed to me on a silver platter. God forbid I get a sixth.Pandalisk said:
Personally, I could do without several of the killstreak rewards, namely EMP (it lasts FAR too long and proves detimental to the entire team for several lives), nuke (there never needed to be a third team and the nuke literally breaks the inherent rule set of the game), ac-130 (the orbiting satellite of doom is virtually guarnteed to reduce a great many of the enemy into goo), chopper gunner (this thing is an absolute murder factory). The rest I'm perfectly fine with as they either only account for a few kills before being countered by a team on the ball, or they don't prove so detrimental that the game is all but unplayable.
I never understood why games reward the winning team. I suppose it's positive reinforcement but it also throws up an arbitrary boundary to new and less skilled players and scares off newbies, thus ensuring the demise of your game. It seem more logical to give the losing team a handicap that increase over time in order to encourage a more equal battlefield. Maybe my ideas of accepting newbies is just beyond the through process of anti-social gamers though.
In Headquarters, or Domination, or Capture the Flag, or S&Mination, there are these things called OBJECTIVES that you need to DEFEND. Have you noticed you find yourself having the enemy control two points on the map and just sit there and grease anyone who isn't on their team? Because they're required to win. Plus in Capture the Flag, it's more tactical. You need to divide your available forces between DEFENDING the FLAG, and getting the enemy flag. In Headquarters, you need to converge on the HEADQUARTERS, DEFEND it until time runs out, and then advance to wherever the next one spawns.miracleofsound said:
15+ kills is considered extraordinary? Unless things have changed a feckload from CoD4 and 5 (haven't played MW2 online, but I have played multiplayer at my friends), 15 kills is a pretty standard game.
Ever considered that you might just not be very good?
I like the new killstreaks, on 5, I always got annoyed because after 7 kills, there is nothing more. It gets really shit on the times when you get 15, or (once, I'm not usually that good) 30 kill streaks.

Very, very much this. I once got a Care Package with Hardline because I got blinded and I just thrashed my Riot Shield about wildly. Three luck kills, from a really unlucky flashbang.Zenn3k said:
Earned? I think not. I've posted the same rant three times now and I'm not posting it here because there are so many MW2 threads it's staggering. Go complain in a different thread, please!
Not bragging (seriously), but I NEVER camp and I've gotten 15 nukes so far. It's more the enemy team that matters for me. If I'm playing against a group of people that actually pay attention to what's happening I most likely won't be getting a nuke as I've almost always gotten it via running around and killing people with a knife (while that usually only amounts to around half the kills, due to killstreak rewards).pwnzerstick said:
Also, camping is boring, and campers annoy me. I hate camping and everything about it, just about.
EDIT: getting a nuke has yet to feel like an accomplishment to me, it's mostly just because the enemy team can't be arsed with shooting me down (they rarely try, though I'll admit sometimes they don't get the chance)
Now, I'll feel like I accomplished something when I've played versus a group of decent players and gotten a 30+ killstreak with no help from killstreak reward, barring UAV/Counter-UAV and EMP. Getting THAT would be fun.
Why are you explaining the rules to me? It's a bit odd.Sh0ckFyre said:
My point was that now those game modes are suffering from campers trying to up thier KD ratios and not working with thier team.
I think it's a lot easier to get a nuke than people think. You just need the right killstreak bonuses.
Attack Heli (Pavelow doesn't count to killstreak for some silly reason)
leaves only 4 kills to an AC130.
AC130, provided you hide well (or kill everyone so often they cant get to you) you'll get to 25 kills pretty quickly, the AC130 has a silly amount of flares to protect against missiles so its really easy to get the 14 more kills, especially with MW2's USELESS spawning system *spawns all 6 team members in a tight group so they get taken out by one explosion, GREAT IDEA*
I've never actually been nuked, been on the same team as a guy with a nuke, and used a nuke once.
