I think the support streaks are great.

Why? Because it´s the right opposit to the campers that wait a full round on one spot to reach their assault streaks.

If you play with a team you can actual create great tactical gameplay if you mix it up right!

You get assault kill streaks for the same as the support???

As for emp, it's a pain in the arse. I spend my time racking up decent kill streak, and then someone with 5 kills and 30 deaths takes out my pavelow.

And why can my team mates still kill my killstreaks. Surely they should have patched this by now?

I use Support all the time! I love it, UAV Cookies (ballistic vests) combo FTW, and no I'm not a noob, I'm actually a pretty good player but I just like Support because if you die you don't have to worry about your streaks.

Personally, I feel the Support Streak is a step in the right direction for the CoD series. For the first time, it doesn't just focus on kills, but on supporting your team. Do people abuse it? Yes, but thats true of everything, unfortunately. This community finds something to exploit, they will do so.

I like that it gives you credit for taking out an enemy streak rather than just let it sit there killing your teammates. I like that it gives you the Stealth Bomber, which especially in HC modes can help clear out an area of the map where the enemy team is dug in. I like that I can help my team out by laying down vests or putting out a SAM turret. Not everyone gets the long killstreaks, it gives everyone a chance to help their team.

That being said, I think it still could use some tweaks (maybe only allowing teams to lay out one set of Vests at a time for example), but It was a welcome change as far as I was concerned. I got tired in MW2 of people camping and letting their streaks do all the work.

I think there will be things in each game that annoy us, but I for one think the Support package was an innovation in the right direction in a game unfortunately bereft of significant innovations.

Its hard to say whats best because having support in the game the way it is today is just plain annoying with stealth bombers, emps, escort airdrops and juggs but on the other hand just having assault is an issue because how many ppl will choose team helping killstreaks over killing killstreaks and thats becomes a problem and makes for a slower paced game. Another issue is how many people are gonna risk a bomb plant when they are on an assault streak at the risk of losing your point streak with no rewards.

Ive heard some people say remove all things that kill people from the support package, let me tell those people that idea would suck balls do we really need more UAVs or counter uavs and sam turrets being spammed than ever before.

I also think assault has gotten out of hand not so much in this game but in black ops an 11 killstreak can net me an easy 20+ more kills with napalm, chopper gunner and gunship which just isnt right either.

I Think the older COD had it right with 3 - 5 - 7 but that just isnt going to happen so what i think would be best is to have three types of killstreaks that you have to pick 1 from each set such as:

Support - Deaths do not reset this pointstreak

6 Points - UAV - Counter UAV

8 Points - Ballistic Vest - SAM Turret

25 Points - EMP

Defensive - Deaths do reset this pointstreak

5 Points - Predator missile - IMS

6 Points - Sentry Gun - Aiirstrike

8 Points - Stealth Bomber - Remote Turret

Offensive - Deaths do reset this Pointstreak and must be obtained with gun kills only

7 Kills - Helicopter

9 Kills - Reaper - Overwatch

12 Kills - AC130 - Pavelow - Assault Jugganaunt

So a selection would look like this: UAV - IMS - Reaper - this way everyone has to help there team and we dont have this mentality where people have to camp to reach there reaper AC130, chopper gunner because they only get one its not a big deal if you miss out on it

The support strike package was originally intended to reward objective players. That's why a few "assault" based rewards are within the package i.e. Stealth Bombers and Remote Sentries.

The other half of the strike package's purpose, was for people to "Support" their team. That's what I do, considering my love for supplying Recon Drones and Ballistic Vests.

In theory, you would think people would use the support strike package, based on those two considerations listed above. But the overall result, was not profitable. "Most people see Support, as the 'easy mode' Assault Strike Package". They don't care about objectives, and they don't care about supporting the team. That's where the support based rewards fail in their mission.

This idea I had, would be a great way to fix the reward system.

so because you play on tactical and are a drop shotter.. you think that people can't do the same with a knife? Seriously, tough titties...

you are silly... TDM, just like every other mode, has it's strengths and weaknesses. ANYONE can learn to play ANY game mode. Just because someone prefers to play CTF(gay mode) or Search doesn't make them any better than anyone who chooses to play any other game mode. Personally, I find that all the morons play most of these types that you are endorsing. Tell me where exactly do you find all the twats who think it's cool to ruin your game by camping until the very last kill in search and then trying to do some 1080 no scope ftw... only to find himself flattened the hell out by a knife or something like a tube to the grill.... you sure as hell don't find those in TDM. I'll keep my game mode free of dipshits, thank you.

Just cause the Support Killstreaks ruins your camping doesn't mean its overpowered or a joke I like the support killstreaks because they give me killstreaks regardless if I keep getting killed by a camper. Whats next your going to complain about someone who has skill? Serious since you tell anyone who complains about camping this phrase I am going to return the favor LEARN TO ADAPT seriously you complained about the explosives and made them to weak to effect you seriously just stop complaining. Whats next? Your going to say assassin should only work when your sitting still and that dead silence shouldn't make you completely silent? Stop complaining and LEARN TO ADAPT this isn't Call of Camping or Call of Keep Your K/D High.

Ya, that is what I love about it and most of the time I hold mine until the last few minutes of the match, to make sure teh skys are clear during that time. It is a great way to disrupt the other team and change the outcome of a match when used right and that is why the OP hates it so much most likely.

Not quite, Their are some of the greatest players in TDM but those players cannot compete against other decent or good players in other modes simply because they are ignorant of the objectives and when they do attempt all they manage to do is sit tight, lose objectives and lost. Your KD doesnt mean anything if your W/L doesnt reflect it.

And before you attempt to lie to yourselves, yes, you can go from any objective based mode to slaying in TDM, TDM is like an intro drug, you start with it and move on to bigger and better things not typically the other way around. *I'm not advertising the usage of any type of drug*

This post is a joke the OP is really complaining about a strike package that is almost entirely non lethal and is calling every one using it a noob,mate seriously if the people playing with it where as bad as you seem to think then no one would be getting emps and stealth bombers the people doing that are at least better than other players atleast 18 times as such it's the people going 20-30 kills that are really screwing you

I play HC, use the UAV/vest combo (apparently some here dont approve at all lol) and get 30+ gun kills a game, because getting Assault KS kills was getting boring. Rather be able to play super aggressive, and help the team win at the same time.

I've started running UAV/CUAV... it's way more annoying to the other team.
