I agree with the initial ideas, but also disagree in how they were executed.

We've been on both spectrums here, regarding Deathstreaks. Should they appear in the Call of Duty series? Probably not, but if they are, they should be done "correctly". Non-lethal Deathstreaks such as CopyCat, Revenge, and maybe Juiced could appear as Deathstreaks as they don't directly affect the opposing teams, and those that do, do it indirectly.

As for Support, definitely a good idea on paper, but...  it's not the way that they executed it, but the Support Killsteaks that are available. The Support idea, in general, could be re-worked so it isn't "abused", but Killstreaks such as the Stealth Bomber and EMP are overkill in this area. Although, it does allow beginners to play the game and still be rewarded and at the same time and cater to different groups. It steers away from "Call of Duty is about Killstreak Rewards", when, in this case, players can still play the game and get Killstreaks for their team and Parties.

You have to see this from another perspective. The reason ideas like this were (re)introduced is because they were targeting another audience: the casual players. They basically said, "here, we'll give you a start". I know why they did it, but do I agree with it? That's based on your prefernce.

there should be something to counter the EMP. there's something to counter everything else in the game. EMP can be game changing, and earned with little to no skill.

Only if you have no aim and rely on the mini map to much. When the team i'm on gets EMP i slow my play down because the other team 90% of the time become reckless because they know your mini map is down so they tend to run out in the open. that's when i rack up my kills so when the EMP is over i hit them hard with my assault package.

For me the whole killstreak reward thing has gone way OTT.  I would prefer to go back to the 3-5-7 killstreaks only, all the additions do is mess the game up.  There was much more satisfaction getting dogs in W@W than any of the higher rewards in MW2, BO, or MW3.  With just the three rewards available players are more inclined to play the objectives.

  I agree with deathstreaks are for bad players. But support is a must against people who dont play the objective in objective based games. If he was 6-36 and top dog is cause he was the best at collecting tags. He played the objective. Kd means nothing except tdm. The people who really suck are the ones who work up assault streaks camping in objective games just to wait till overtime to use them. Support was installed to try to stop them. I hate when i plant the bomb in 30 seconds and hear some scrub say let them defuse I didnt get my killstreaks. The point is to win. If you dont ever leave your teams spawn or pick up the bomb or get tags go play tdm. The reason they dont is if you check leaderboards tdm lobby they cant kill people who arent distracted by an objective. 6-36 top player that dude is good at kc dont hate.
