Default What killstreaks do you use and why?

Im interested to know what people use and why.

I normally use predator,harrier, pavelow. If used correctly I can rack up some serious kills with this. Having the harrier and pavelow flying around can do some damage if the other team decides not to take them down.

Predator, Harrier, AC130

Predator is easy to get, and usually you can get the Harrier from it. Harrier usually gets you the AC130, and the AC130 can't get shot down right away so it creates chaos down below. Too many people use stinger classes so CG's fall like flies. But I know the CG is decent too. Once I get the AC130 emblem I might go Pavelow or Stealth Bomber for a while. Probably stealth bomber since it's used less.

Default ones. (UAV, CP, Predator)

I don't really go for the hgher ones, I prefer helping out my team with the easier to reach ones.

Default Re: What killstreaks do you use and why?

i tend to be just average at this game. As much as i try I get killed lol.

So i go for these:

UAV - usually guarantees me another 2 kills with ease once i know their location

Care Package - if its a UAV/AMMO i camp around it and pick those desperate to hijack it and sometimes its CG/AC130

Predator - if i manage to get this far it usually guarantees on more kill

and then i usually die. Would love to be good enough for a consistent 11+ kill streak

Predator/Harrier/AC130

Predator gets me an easy kill or two, plus is fully controllable and lets me take out key targets (Such as the bastard stealing our control point, I'm looking at you!).

Harrier... is an airstrike and helicopter, rolled into one. I use it over the attack helicopter because I can choose where it strikes.

AC130 because it's more flexible than the chopper gunner, and much more durable. Sure, it is easier to get killed with a Chopper gunner, but with the AC130, I can fire the 105mm into covered areas (something the chopper gunner can't do). Even better if it's a map like Afghan, where people tend to sit inside the giant cave. Constant multikills.

Default Re: What killstreaks do you use and why?

I have personally grown to love the combination of UAV, Predator, and Harrier Strike, and I'll explain why.

With the UAV (3), I'm able to not only support myself, but the team as well. It allows me to be a team player and aid our team on the offensive, revealing the positions of the enemy, giving us a better idea of where they are, possibly see a flank through a weak point in their defenses, or just a general overview of their location.

Once the recon is in the air, I'll track the enemies down and get two more kills with the Predator Missile (5). This one of those killstreaks that can be offensive and defensive. If I'm playing an objective based game, like Domination, I can easily pick off any targets capturing a flag, or planting a bomb.

After the PM gets a few easy kills (if not, cautious playing) will net me my Harrier Strike (7). Hopefully the Harrier can get one or two air strike kills, and shoot down any enemies in sight. Pretty much self explanatory from there.

I like this setup because it provides support for the team as a whole, plus compared to the CG/AC-130's, it's pretty easy to get this combination two or more times in one game. Granted, it's no mass genocide killstreak setup, but it's damn effective, and not to mention it reminds me more of COD4, hence the 3-5-7 numbers.

I suggest you use the setup I have on Hardline. Even if you say you aren't that good, at some point you've got to go on a 4 kill streak, get the Pred, and usually you can get the double to a Harrier and then to an AC. It doesn't ALWAYS work like that, but if it does then its devastating. Or, you could even do something like UAV/Pred/Harrier, or Pred/Harrier/Pavelow.

Default Re: What killstreaks do you use and why?

It depends on my mood and who I'm playing with.

If I'm playing with friends that are compitent and know how to watch each others backs and such, I'll usually go for the higher KS. I'll use Harrier (so much destruction if placed right), CG (over AC-130 because I like the quick fire), and TN. Usually guaranteed a nuke or so every 3 to 5 games w this set up if I'm playing with a good group of people.

If I'm just playing on my own I've been using Predator (easy to get, funny to watch, and typically gets me to my next KS), Harrier (same reasons as above), and EAD (Guaranteed to get it when I call in the Harrier, can bring in A LOT of additional fire power, good for helping the noobs on my team out, and when I get the crappy UAV/CUAV/Ammo it's fun to snipe that area when the opposing team rushes them).

For a while, mainly during the CP glitch era, I concentrated more on run and gun so I was using UAV (helped find the camping glitchers), Harrier, and Stealth Bomber. It was beyond hilarious getting the Harrier and dropping it where they were callin in CP/EAD...same with the Stealth Bomber. I got so many kills that way.

I mostly use Predator, Harrier, Pavelow. I usually have really good luck with that combo.

One TDM on rundown I got my predator right in the beginning, got a triple kill with that. Called in my Harrier let that work for a while and was 16-0. Called in my Pavelow and got 10 more kills with that, so 26-0. ended the match 43-2. Got to call in my predator and harrier a couple more times.

I usually just use Predator, Harrier, and Pavelow. This setup gets me the most kills without having to be taken away from the action in a killstreak like CG or AC130.

Since I'm not the best player I stick with the CP, Pred and Harrier. I rarely get a 5-6 killstreak because I play a lot of Domination and am more concerned with capturing than killing. If I was better I would certainly use AC-130 as I've gotten them in CP's and it is a beast.

I die a lot so I mostly use small killstreaks: Care Package, Predator, Harrier. If I'm feeling good I use Predator, Harrier, Chopper Gunner.

Default Re: What killstreaks do you use and why?

I use Care Package, Predator Missile, and Harriers. When I get these, I usually wait to use the care package until after I die, unless the game is close to being over, and hope like crazy that I don't die before I get the Predator. Once I use the missile, its either Harrier right away or just one more kill. This gets me some pretty good streaks sometimes.

I sort of want to change it though, maybe Predator, Harrier, and AC-130 or something (just because the AC-130 is more fun, even if less effective sometimes) and use Hardline. Could be really fun, but I probably wouldn't get it too often haha.

Then why do you have the Nuke logo in your signature? Lol.

I personally use either:

Predator
Harrier
CG/AC130

or

Harrier
EAD
Pave Low

Predator (the missile. Not the UAV. The missile is a "AGM Hellfire" launched from a predator UAV. Yes, vagueness of names annoys me, but anyway) because it's easy to get one or two kills.

Which requires no more killing from me to get a harrier airstrike.

Which if it doesn't get shot down and you be cautious/patient long enough a good amount of time you'll get an 11 killstreak.

Which is a CG/AC130. I Use the Chopper Gunner. It is harder to shoot down than the AC130 because it does not follow a slow, circular, predictable path. Because the gun doesn't fire in annoying bursts you can easily get kills through roofs. The AC130 however makes a fantastic noise and is more "fun."

It might follow a slow, predictable path, but that thing is annoying to take down. (Mostly because teammates without CB and Stingers spawn right there).

And yeah, that noise (the 105 Howitzer IIRC) is probably the coolest in the game.

Except maybe behind the "shellshock" sound, which can be heard during moments such as:
  • Sometimes after a Stealth Bomber.
  • Beginning of the second campign mission
  • Loose Ends, after the mortar goes off and you get dragged away by Ghost.

I use PM, Harrier, Pave Low or CG (depending on my mood). I end up getting more kills with the Pave Low than CG most times.

Also, PM, Precission Air Strike, Attack Helicopter... believe it or not this is mega kills on Domination because on average I can get each kill streak at least 3 times per game, someitmes 4 or 5. Once you get the PM you are guaranteed the other 2.

Maybe with a free-fire missile it's hard to shoot down? You still need good aim against the AC, as it's very far away... But I think the CG is much easier to bring down, because you need only 2 lock-ons (usually) and a Stinger provides just that. A bit off topic, but maybe you could just clarify what you meant by that.

I like using harrier, pavelow and then chopper gunner or ac130. Since I play a lot of groundwar it's a good combination to keep people hiding so my team can capture flags better in domination plus I get a ton of kills and don't have to worry about ending the game early with a nuke.
