Default Using Kill Streaks?
Is there a way to choose which ks you use first? Just I find it annoying having a UAV and precision air strike ready at the same time but I always have to use the airstrike first which doesn't make sense. It would be great if I could use the UAV then call in an air strike.

Anyone know?

I don't believe so, just another overlook by the developers. It seems it just goes in the order of the last obtained killstreak.

I thought as much. Shame really as it makes no sense to call in a UAV after an airstrike and being able to call in the UAV first would be a massive advantage. Especially as normally I call in a UAV then it runs out just as I get my air strike and I wont see another UAV for the entire game unless I get another or someone calls in a CP.

This has annoyed me a fair few times. Just out of interest does this happen on all platforms? Surely on the PC with a full keyboard at your disposal, you can choose your KS order..

You should be able to press Up on the directional pad (has no use anyway) and it'll bring up a mini menu to pick the killstreak you want to use.

I just photoshopped this, so something to this effect, but more fancy looking I suppose. Click to enlarge.



Edit: Updated it with animation.

Wow.. I thought there'd at least be configurable keys for each KS.

Remember the PC version is just a straight console port so what you get is what we get nothing more. We can change a few things such as configuring keys but we have the same amount of buttons as your control pad.

In COD1, COD1: expansion pack, COD2, COD4, CODwaw and virtually all other mainstream PC games you can customise an absolute shedload of stuff.

However IW decided to remove all of the advantages to make the differences between platforms smaller extra stuff on PC to make developing it cheaper. lower costs & (for that matter a 33% high RRP for MW2) = more profit.

This is getting repetitive.

and that's the sad part.

I feel for the PC users. Would it have been too hard to adapt it properly for PC?

No, you can't unfortunately. I just don't understand why something like Ninja's idea wasn't incorporated into the game.

More IW fail.

Wat this guy said
I mean at least for the ps3 and for the xbox I think
u only use one button on the d pad and it's to summon a killstreak
all those other buttons should be put to use and it should belike from left to right
left one is the UAV and the top kne should be the care package and the right one should be the predetor missle
or whatever order u put ur killstreaks

why'd you revive a 4 month old thread?
Anyways it should be left->GL

right->KS2

yeah it would be nice, but i'm not going to hate on IW for it. it's still much better than in COD4 where is you got your higher level KS before using the lower one, the lower one would be entirely lost. hopefully this will be in whatever next version of MW comes out, if there is one.
