Several Black Ops Killstreak Rewards Revealed

http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/activision/call-of-duty/black-ops/b.jpg

Some gamers feel a little tinge of concern whenever Infinity Ward isn't behind a Call of Duty game, but my time with Treyarch's Black Ops has made me plenty excited. Its predecessor (Modern Warfare 2) added the ability to select your killstreak rewards, and offered far more than the previous entries. Black Ops is following suit, and here are a few that you can expect.

(Number of kills - Killstreak reward)

  • 3 - Spy Plane
  • 3 - RCXD (remote control car bomb)
  • 4 - Counter Spy Plane
  • 4 - SAM Turret
  • 5 - Care Package
  • 5 - ARC Angel (remote-controlled missile that you shoot into the sky)
  • 5 - Napalm Strike
  • 6 - Sentry Gun
  • 6 - Mortar Team (pick three spots on the map to drop mortars onto)
  • 7 - Attack Helicopter
  • 7 - Valkyrie Rockets
  • 8 - Blackbird
  • 8 - Rolling Thunder
  • 9 - Chopper Gunner
  • 11 - Attack Dogs
  • 11 - Gunship

  • But seriously I think there are some cool killstreaks on here, but I think MW:2's killstreaks were much better

  • This is the crap that makes Battlefield so much better to me.  This is a let down to me.  Pretty much knew it was coming though.

  • Dogs??!!! O.O I hope PETA doesnt Riot this lol

  • If I've learned anything in my time playing mw2 it's this, more doesn't necessarily equate to better. This COD seems to be going for a more intense version of play which is the route that seems great to take and has even eliminated the killstreaks that promote camping but I still see that this is still too much. Personally I'd prefer a range from 3 to eight with two choices for each or 3 to seven with three choices for each as to achieve more balance in overall gameplay

  • The attack dogs and RCXD look AWESOME.

  • Chopper Gunner at 9?

  • This is gonna be cool.

  • maybe not as good looking as the mw2 killstreaks but its still better cuz there is no nuke

  • Seem to be pretty much the same as MW2. What's rolling thunder though?

  • oh boy... an instant kill killstreak at 3 kills... jeez...

  • EPIC!! so glad they brought back dogs!

  • I'm happy with these killstreaks. It will discourage boosters and people can focus more on the match itself, not killstreaks. Don't know if I'm right about boosters, though...

  • NO NOT DOGS. OR CHOPPERS. OR SH-.

    DIDNT YOU GUYSLEARNANYTHING

  • the pavelow is now called chopper gunner and chopper gunner is now gunship?

    ARC Angel is predator,

    SPY PLACE AND COUNTER SPY PLANE? What does Counter Spy Place do?  Will it get shot down? SAM Turret is probably going to less used that the sentry from mw2, care package is care package, napalm strike....idk. sentry gun is the same, mortar is a weaker airstrike unless you call all of them generally close to eachother. attack heli is attack heli..... Blackbird...possibly like a harrier, Rolling Thunder took a cue from MW2's title (Stealth Bomber kills award)

    Dogs are the same *** dogs from WaW.

    So much for new killstreaks.

    But moterboat! SAM TURRETS.

    shut up. this is terrible

  • Release the hounds. they to will feast on thine flesh of our enemies lol.

  • Thinking too much on this stuff before getting hands on can drive someone crazy... gonna keep it cool

  • The attack dogs are back?  Awesome.

  • An okay killstreak list. It just seems too familiar...

  • I actually didn't like how many killstreaks MW2 had. I thought they went way overboard with how many they put it and some of them were almost carbon copies of each other. I wouldn't mind if Black Ops had a smaller killstreak list. So far these seem like decent enough choices but I hated how someone getting in the SR 71 (or whatever the hell the plane was called) made some matches unwinable. I remember being unable to stop the opposing team from planting the bomb in sabotage because we couldn't get near our target and were getting pounded in our spawning location.
