The Scorestreak reward system is a failure.

Posted by thebiindsniper on Dec 29, 2012 9:56 PM

When I first heard about this Scorestreak system, I was disappointed and said it wouldn't work.  Sure you get extra points for objective pursuits, but the major issue is how the streak itself resets upon death, which will lead people to avoid objectives more often.


The whole system, despite extra points given for objectives, is still too lenient towards the slayers.  For example, an objective player in Kill Confirmed went 24-18, but accumulated 35 confirms and 12 denies.  Meanwhile, another player goes 64-2, but only accumulated 3 confirms and 0 denies.


Guess who earns more rewards?  The guy who avoided tags and didn't die.  How does this make sense?  At least MW3 had a better reward system, despite how it was far from perfect.


P.S. where did the support rewards go in Black Ops 2?  I only see 5 of them (UAV, CUAV, Guardian, VSAT, EMP) while the rest are assualt based.  Not to mention how specialist is MIA which was a total drag.

 

We need a new system that is meant to "properly" reward players based on their merits toward winning the match.

 

For example, a reward system that gives you points that don't reset upon death.  Next, you spend these points like money on the reward you want to use.  The skill and consistency of pursued objectives will grant the player even more points.

 

Enough of this "don't die, get rewarded" crap.  Too long have us objective players suffered because we had more heart to capture that flag, or plant that bomb.

    I'm sorry but Support for MW3 was the WORST idea COD ever gave us. You can go 18 and 100 and still get a Stealth Bomber to potentially win you a game you don't deserve to win? Screw that. Scorestreaks was a pretty solid idea to give us Obj players something to look forward too AND make those campy guys work harder or switch up style and play the obj as well.

     

    I do agree with you on somethings but you can't say it was a failure because it's NOT the game, it's how people play it. Scorestreaks was a genius idea.

    I think the scorestreak is the best system in CoD atm.

     

    But I'll have to say that support was very good system. But I think stealth bomber shouldn't have been one of them. They should have all been non-lethal streaks.

    EMP should not have been a Support Streak either. That was ridiculous to earn a high end kill streak at the end legit and than have it shot down by a dang EMP.

    Assassin makes you immune for it, so not many players were affected by it.

     

    Actualy Assassin made you immune just about any scorestreak.

    So you think kills should be worthless?

    I like the scorestreak system.  However, I think instead of resetting upon death you should just lose points towards the scorestreak. 

     

    For example, playing TDM, I have 400 pts, I die I lose 100 pts.
