I was gonna post that earlier but work got in the way
Interesting how they're going from killstreaks to score-streaks, I guess it's not that dissimilar from how the Support killstreaks work in MW3 but it could be interesting.
From a YouTube video I watched, it is stated that everything earns you points now. Kills are a flat 100 points, IIRC. But objective earnings like flag capping in Dom or even grabbing a flag in CTF are worth MORE than kills.
So, if you are a heavy objective player, you have the chance to earn even more streaks than a kill-whore.
What isn't clear to me yet is if the streaks reset on death or if there will be a support option like in MW3.
From what I heard, a couple objective scores and a couple kills should get you dogs or close to it. Doesn't sound too bad to me.
Personally I didn't mind BO's killstream system. MW3's is a change of pace, but it was unnecessary. It just caters to the new players. While support streaks are a more reasonable compromise for newbies than death streaks or Assassin, I still won't really miss it.
Support streaks weren't for noobs. They were for aggressive players. The guy that gets that bomb plant in the middle of the sh*t, because he isn't afraid to jump in the fray because he doesn't have a streak to protect. They kept the game moving. Now people are going to be a lot more risk averse.
I agree! Ill rolled support all the time while playin Dom but I was always going for flags so it was nearly impossible for me to get anything on assault.
I agree that is how some people used Support. But that's not why they included it. It was for the newblets who couldn't get a streak together.
I will miss it when playing Dom by myself. On a team it's not much an issue. But in pub matches, sheesh.
Just announced on live stream: Orbital VSAT is just like Blackbird in BO1. Nothing hides you from it!
Not that I've seen. I think someone else mentioned last year it came out in Sept, so that's likely when we'll see it.
Interesting note: seems they aren't bundling Elite in this year like they did with MW3 Hardened.
I wont by paying for Elite this year. I got it with my hardened copy last year and it was worthless for months.
