Or maybe both.... Make both Point Streaks and Kill Streaks with Point Streaks having more clout in game. I really like the idea of reinforcing Team Play to acheive a victory. How many times have we seen a Huey, then Dogs, then another Huey and that team STILL lose???..... We've seen it a lot because that guy getting the Huey's and Dogs doesn't care about the objectives.....
im not much for believing being rewarded a point streak for just doing the objective. but i do always secure the victory in the long run. i use killstreaks that make it easier for my team to succeed in the objective
such as. spy plane helps the team kill the enemy off and go for the objective, black bird does the same thing but much more effective, and dogs wipes out the enemy team so you can easily capture or guard objectives. every team needs a player that can rape the other team but in an effective way, i hate players that use hueys because not only does it make people camp the objective so it increases the enemy teams defense but now your team is one player short. dogs on the other hand will demolish the enemy team whether inside or out so they are more focused on not dying than the objective, then your team also has you to go out and get the objective while your dogs are out.
Yeah you have a point but not people are thinking like you. I kid you not, I've seen games where one guy has almost 70 kills and you go back and all he was doing is picking off people at choke points etc. Say you're defending an objective in domination and if you're either in the capture zone or kill someone capturing your flag you get double the points leading to quicker higher kill streaks, you'd be more likely to do so than just run around the map.
I like objective games because they make it easier to get into engagements, like you I HATE (Hate maybe a little strong, let's go with dislike, I'll reserve my hate for quick scoping) camping and objective games although encourage it they also make it easier to counter because the pace of the game lends to people more often than not being at high traffic areas instead of just scouring the map. Beefing incentive to objective captures can lead to hogging in say capture the flag but it will definitely encourage involvement with the overall team objective. PS: A good way to keep hogging in capture the flag to a minimum is reward rescue/saves points toward your kill streaks as well.
My only concern is that these new incentives will make Clan play GODLY as Clans can really rack up kill streak points fast. That said I thought I read somewhere that there will be better match making that invloves combat records. I'm guessing a 0.41 K/D guy like myself (Pro perking really makes my average go down lol) will most likely not be playing to many 2.1 K/D guys.
PS: I like what you said about the Huey (not liking it), although I disagree with your assesment about it's assistance. Don't get me wrong that 70 kills guy helped his team but he's so focused on personal glory that he didn't help them enough. I don't feel a Huey will make you one man short, one man on the field yes but now he's in the skies. And he'll control the board with either people hiding from him or taking up their attention at shooting him down.... However ypu're right on with the dogs, the rape, even on the large maps they are a huge help. With that said I don't get the Hind, I've never seen it control the board like a huey yet it's the same as the dogs.....???
Still loving the idea of Point Streaks as long as it's not Noob Nerfed/Abused, that said I'm a Noob (as my 0.41 K/D indicates) and so players like me will benefit the most from them which I like but still I hope they don't make it to noob friendly
