Hopefully there's a way to disable that.

You often meet a player who kills 25 enemies in a row ?

Yeah, it actually ends the game, very, very stupid. Although it is 25 kills in a row without dieing, I can see it happening quite a bit with campers.

 

[Mileena]

It will just make people want to camp.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Wow, just saw the fake official thread, great stuff. :lol :lol :lol

 

[Mutagenic]

It will just make people want to camp.

People never, ever camp in CoD.

 

[GasProblem]

Looks like you can skip the mission in the airport. Someone is playing it over the stream and there's a "Skip Mission" option in the pause menu. Didn't know that.

Wow, the guy is playing on Xbox Live now: http://nl.justin.tv/digitalreborn

 

[BlinkGT]

It will just make people want to camp.

This is the same for all the killstreaks, so. Useful is the killcam in core playlists. A fucking camper can't make 25 kills against players who were born with normal hands. Or it's unusual.

 

[KareBear]

The nuke and emp etc killstreaks are retarded,theres no need for it to go that high.They should have capped it at 11 kills and the ac130.And the nuke kills you not matter what and ends the match whats the point it that?Also it has no effect on the environment which looks really silly.

 

[Eric WK]

The more I think about it, the less concerned I am regarding the Tactical Nuke. Yes, 25 kill streaks are very common in objective games, especially Domination. But at the same time, all of the other new kill streak rewards will work well to keep opposing players from hitting that mark.

I still think the fact that it ends the game is dumb, but we'll see how much of an issue it is soon enough.

 

[Eric WK]

The new game winning kill thing is very cool.

 

[Kibbles]

So what if you were losing and you launched a nuke? Would you lose, since it ends the match?

 

[GasProblem]

Haha, the guy is trying out 3rd person view. Looks just like Gears of War.

 

[Raxus]

EviLore are you still picking up the game? I know you didn't want to pick up the PC version so are you getting a console version instead?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I don't understand the bitching about the Nuke. I've played the ever-living fuck out of CoD4 and the highest kill streak I've ever gotten is 22. If you're bad enough to let someone get 25 kills in a row, you deserve to be nuked.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Wow, so the game is already leaked a week and a half before it's release? Is that early for a high profile game?

Certain gamemodes on certain maps might make this more common than you think

Even if you never see it it's a stupid idea, IW needs to stop basing ideas off e-mails they get from 3rd graders

 

[Kibbles]

What happens?

Spoiler

You watch as a soldier pours gasoline all over your bodies and then the general puts flicks his cigar on top of you guys.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

lol @ the people complaining. How often were you in a room where people had a 25 kill streak? In 2 years of playing CoD4, I only remember that happening MAYBE 2 times. And for the people saying that this will make people camp, NO camper will ever get this streak. The killcam guarantees that after, at the most, 10 kills from one spot there will be 4-5 people rushing that person. On top of that, killstreaks being customizable means that any person trying to make the MOST from their killstreak rewards will not be choosing the Nuke. It's ridiculous to waste a streak on that considering a 25 streak happens rarely.

Fallout 3 was pretty early, but for me Halo 2 was the most infamous one I can recall.

Nah mang, not gonna play it on consoles, and not buying the PC version unless they put dedicated servers back in.

My roommate could pretty regularly get to around a 25 streak in WaW. Thankfully he thinks the idea behind the nuke isn't fun so he won't be using it.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Reading all these debates over MP components make me feel strange that for me CODMW2 SP is the important thing and that MP is an afterthought for me.

just yesterday playing HCHQ i reached 25 kill streak 2 times in 3-4 hours playing. Hit 30 once (32 actually)...I usually hit 25 or so at least once every few play sessions...but I dont see myself using this at all.

In vanilla Team Deathmatch in CoD4 I rarely saw a streak of 20, let alone 25. With all of the additions to MW2, it'll be even more difficult to get a streak that high considering how much IW likes to reward the bad players. Also, like I said before, if you want to MAX out your possible kills, you will not be choosing the Nuke as one of your rewards. What are the chances that you will hit 25 kills in a row? It would make much more sense to choose a smaller reward that nets you more kills without banking everything on staying alive for a 25 streak.

I should've mentioned that I was talking about Team Deathmatch. Gametypes like Domination, and HQ usually net much higher streaks more frequently, but I don't really touch those lists.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Woah, I didn't recognize that, seriously when I did play online, that was my favorite gun (no lie, it was my easy 10 kill streak gun for close quarters fighting), screw you IW, screw you.

 

[X26]

Also, unlike in MW1 your killstreak rewards don't add to your overall streak, so getting 10kills with the AC-130 doesn't get you any closer to a nuke

It's still a stupid idea, though

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Wow, so the game is already leaked a week and a half before it's release? Is that early for a high profile game?

Halo 2 got leaked almost 4 weeks before launch. The Halo LAN we did three weeks before launch, a guy brought over his modded Xbox that had that Halo 2 on it. We told him we didn't want to see anything about it.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Also, unlike in MW1 your killstreak rewards don't add to your overall streak, so getting 10kills with the AC-130 doesn't get you any closer to a nuke

How? If the other team is horrible enough that you can kill them 25 times in a row, not counting the kills you get with your kill streak rewards, they deserve to get nuked. Think of it as an active mercy rule.

 

[No_Style]

That nuke is awesome. If someone gets a 25 streak. Let them have that giant exclamation point. :lol

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Not only that, but kills you get during kill streak bonuses don't go toward your overall streak anymore. That means that all those kills you can get by air striking a huddled team on Domination or Headquarters won't count anymore towards your streak, thus making stuff like the AC-130 and the Nuke even harder to get to.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I don't know how many people forgot about this, but I did, and it's huge. If this is across the board for ALL killstreak rewards, I don't even think we'll be seeing as many attack choppers. The airstrikes, and chopper could advance your streak by 20 kills alone against a bad team, and even with that said, I STILL didn't see that many 20 kills streaks. :lol

 

[Loxley]

Pff, GAF suggestions barely rank higher on the list than 3rd grader suggestions a lot of the time.

I'm on the side that doesn't think the nuke is big deal. I've seen someone get a streak like that in maybe one out of every 25-30 games. Will it be annoying when it happens? Yep. Will it happen often? Nope.

Besides, if someone gets a streak that goddamn high, chances are the other team deserves to be nuked.

Nyeeh nyeeeeh nyeeeeeeeeh I am smart I speak through my nose nyeeeeeeeh

At least we don't suggest shit like that.

They're serving the customer well, I guess

 

[FortMajor]

If a player gets 25 kills unassited by other killstreaks in a row in one match that round is basically over anyway. Half the other players on the other team would have bailed a long time ago, as well.

Without the killstreaks helping the kill count towards a streak it will be hard to get especially if matchmaking pits you against players of the same skill.

 

[Kr1355]

I've regularly have 20+ kill streaks, and three times had 28. Just call me Duke Nuke'm

 

[FortMajor]

25 kills straight up? No air strike? No heli? Because if I understand correctly those kills in no way will advance your kill streak. So yeah you might get 20 kills on the regular but take out the airstrike and heli kills and it makes it a little tougher to get 25 straight up.

 

[Eric WK]

Does anybody have a link confirming that kill streak reward kills don't count towards your streak? The only thing I remember hearing on the matter is that you can't use the exploit where you wait to deploy a chopper or airstrike until after you die like you could in COD4.

Link for good measure.

Now I know level 2-5 are challenges, create-a-class, and the two other pre-made classes. But I don't completely remember whats what.

And then we have all the random other levels without an unlock. Most likely Challenges and what not.

Any thing wrong with the post? Let me know. Will Edit.

UPDATE:
Killsteak Rewards:
These are all accounted for, but I am unsure when all of the unlocks are given. If an unlock was given every 5 levels, starting at 10, We would have 12 unlocks by level 70. Which would be the exact Number required to unlock all killstreaks. I'd say it's a pretty reasonable guess.

UPDATE 2:
Challenge Menu List:
As for challenges, those are a mystery to me for the most part. As far as i'm concerned they are given in the higher levels without any unlocks right now. If anyone knows, do tell.

UPDATE 3:
Re-worked the whole post. Hopefully it looks better and is easier to understand (as if it wasn't straight forward enough as it was.) Also remembered the Callsign Editor is unlocked early on, but i forgot when. Any help?

 

[Grimm Fandango]

No G3 assault rifle? Fuck this game.

Why is the AK-47 a level 70 unlock and the Barrett .50 cal a starting gun?

 

[Beowulf28]

Why is the AK-47 a level 70 unlock and the Barrett .50 cal a starting gun?

That makes no sense wasn't the Barret a lvl 50 unlock in MW1?

 

[got2bekidding]

Why is the Javelin in multiplayer? It's just for tanks.

 

[Subtervotion]

Why is the Javelin in multiplayer? It's just for tanks.

Options I guess. They wanted to put it in for anti vehicle. We'll see how good it is. I'm wondering more how it will show up on a person. That thing is huge.

That makes no sense wasn't the Barret a lvl 50 unlock in MW1?

Barret was really high up there. But look at the AK now, its 70. They both did 180s I guess.

Why is the AK-47 a level 70 unlock and the Barrett .50 cal a starting gun?

Idk, I'm really hoping that this time, when we prestiege we can keep a gun forever. I'd keep the AK. Great gun. Most likely we'll get guns and perks as rewards for prestiging now. Dragonuv anyone?

No G3 assault rifle? Fuck this game.

I'm sad too. I LOVED the G3. I swore by it. But the FN FAL is supposed to be just like it. heres hopin'.

I know it's anti-vehicle, it's specifically anti-tank. So there are tanks in MP? That's why I'm not sure why it's there. I wouldn't think you could shoot planes and helicopters with it. Just seems out of place for MP.
