I think the Support package is an interesting idea to help folks who can't get long KS...
... but I also think it will be used by vets to abuse the greenies versus help them.
Why?
When equipped, your KS doesn't reset upon death... So, you're going to allow a guy who has a high KDR the ability get one of these support packages...
Support Tier Killstreaks:
4 Kills – UAV
5 Kills – Counter UAV
5 Kills – Ballistic Duffel – Drop Juggernaught perk for the whole team, not jugg suit
5 Kills – Airdrop Trap – Drops a hacked care package
8 Kills – Sam Turret
10 Kills – Remote [Missile] UAV – Target enemies with missiles
12 Kills – Advanced UAV – Blackbird
12 Kills – Remote Turret – Sentry Gun that you can control
12 Kills – Stealth Bomber
18 Kills – EMP
18 Kills – Juggernaught Recon Armour – Care Package Drop Armour
18 Kills – Escort Airdrop – Same as the Osprey Gunner but you dont control the gunner or chopper and Drops 5 care packages, one will be hacked.
... even after he's died?
I can see this working against the new fella fairly quickly.
If someone has a high KDR, they're going ot benfefit from the assault streaks. This will help the casual players far more. Someone who has a high KDR probably wants to get the most kills possible; this package won't really help them there. It's mainly "support."

You should see the clip of this guy who got the Jugg Recon Armour... drilled 6 guys with just a riot shield... they couldn't kill him.
I can easliy get 18 kills in a game of CTF, DOM, etc... plus it's points, so, taking out an enemy turret gets you points towards the KS.
Designed for the greenie but will be a strong thing for vets, too.

I don't like this idea at all. We are going to have stealth bombers all over the place.
I can see it being abused by some, but as a whole, I think experienced players are better off with out it.
it actually is if you die you killstreak only works that one time then it resets

It doesn't reset when you die...
Its good for objective players that actually get on flags and dont just killwhore
I think it will be and especially in Objective game modes where you could hit 18 kills multiple times per game.
I can see that escort airdrop being one huge problem as its basically 6 killstreaks rolled into one every 18 kills since you get an AI chopper gunner, 4 care packages which could produce god forbid any top killstreak multiple times and to top it off a bobby trapped care package.
Lets play this one out so at 12 kills you recieve a remote turret
Then at 14 kills(not 12) you recieve a stealth bomber
Then at 18 kills you recieve a escort airdrop
lets think about the possible kills i could accumalate from those 3 killstreaks at worst your looking at 10 kills at best your looking at 30+ kills if those care packages are kind enough which is ridulous from someone who could be going 18 kills - 28 deaths for him to recieve these rewards
Dont get me wrong i like the idea just not the exercution of it
That's about my thoughts, too, Alex.
