Suck at online shooters or completely rock at 'em? Either way, Infinity Ward has got your back with Modern Warfare 2. Rest assured, the game will cater to players of all skill levels with its new and improved custom killstreaks.
As shown briefly in previous footage of Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, the killstreaks are going to put Call of Duty 4's rewards to shame and we've only really seen a few so far. IW's Robert Bowling told PSM3 Magazine that "you can have a three killstreak or a fifteen killstreak if you want, or something like the AC-130 is one of the highest killstreaks you can select."
It's all about fiddling with the menus until you come out with something that realistically matches what you'll be able to accomplish in game. Customization: Modern Warfare 2 will have it, folks. Now if only we could hear more about what exactly these unannounced killstreaks will be ...

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

25 kills: Tactical Nuke.
I think that they will be teired in some way. you could have 1 perk for 3-6 kills depending on the perk is how many kills it takes, 1 for 7-10 and one for 11+ or 15+ or whatever... depending on the perk.
7 kills: red shells
11 kills: star
You're doing it backwards.
3 deaths: banana peels
7 deaths: red shells
11 deaths: star
15 deaths: Blue shell that when fired instantly kicks the opposing team's leading scorer from the game. Because who does he think he is, being good!
Now your doing things the Nintendo way!
Everybody plays, everybody wiins!
5 Kill Streak = Dogs
7 Kill Streak = Dogs that shoot bees
Tangent: I really hope they fix the running in MW2. I shouldn't have to use a perk slot to run from one side of the map to the other in a timely manner. I'm pretty sure the world's special forces don't fill their ranks with The Biggest Loser contestants or emphysema sufferers.
Also, there is nothing wrong with the running in CoD4. Your argument that you are pretty sure the world's special forces can normally run further is sort of invalid because I'm also sure the world's special forces can't just choose to make their bullets do more damage, or their guns to fire faster, or to drop a live grenade out of their asses when they die. It is a video game.
