[Suggestion] This game needs kill streaks.

Imagine if we could like spawn galaxies after 10 kills but GET THIS, on TOP of the ability to spawn one.

Bumping to discuss this crucial thread.

Hah. Funny.

This is why the Academy never gives you an Oscar.

What's so funny, what is wrong with the idea?

This game could use kill streaks.

Why? Killstreaks penalise players who play support roles, and so get fewer kills. If I'm driving a tank, and all the engineers are trying to get killstreaks instead of repairing my tank, then I'll be pretty annoyed.

The game already has kill streaks.

Wait a minute.

You got me. I had started writing a response; I was taken in by your post, but I knew of your plan and I stopped myself. Not bad, Leo...

Hey, exp for everyone is my motto, why not a kill streak like (GET THIS) BASED off resurrections OR ammo reloads.


Eh? what do you think.

We can call the support streaks.

Ok. I'm against the idea, but let's try to have a reasonable discussion. What kind of things would you have? In my opinion, it can't be a straight power upgrade (e.g. more damage) because that makes the game a bit more unfair. Calling in a Gal, as you suggested, wouldn't be very useful, as there'd be nobody in it - it's a lot easier to load up when you're not under fire.

One thing that could work would be to have a 'killstreak ribbon' that was rewarded like other ribbons, but unlocked when a player achieves a set number of kills on one life (e.g. 5, 10, 15...). This gives a reward (XP) but does not directly imbalance the game.

My main problem, however, is that this game is not balanced 1v1, but empirevempire. As such, the players gunning for a Liberator will get higher killstreaks than the players shooting on the ground. In CoD, which is much more balanced 1v1, killstreaks make more sense, as your number of kills is more tied to skill. In PS2, however, this best infantry player in the game can much more easily be taken out by a stray tank round or ESF strike, making killstreaks meaningless.

Also, if you want to say something just after a post, click 'edit' - it means that you can avoid double-posting, which looks bad. Tip for the future!

Because in this game kill streaks are far too easy to get?

Go to place where enemy is zerging... wait to see what their next target will be. Drop mines, C4, and other deadly items... wait for zerg. Boom. Killstreak achieved without ever seeing combat.

I want killstreaks but spawning a galaxy doesnt seem like something i'd want
The problem about killstreaks is that there are loads of players playing and alot of people will get these
It has to be something beneficial but not too strong
Maybe orbital strikes could fit in this category?
The call of duty streaks are epic i think we should get a mini tank or a mini helicopter to fly
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Killstreaks. For the love of God someone rip this guy's vital organs out.

...This isn't Call of Doody.

If you mean you want the game to scream at you "MA MA MA MA MA MONSTER KILL...kill kill kill!!" (remember UT?) then sure why not? If you're asking for a reward other than being told your kill count for that single life, go play CoD.

I think each kill should extend my Vanguard shield by a second and that HE should be buffed to twice as what it use to be.

HAIL VANGUARD!

no, no it couldn't. Please go.

As a guy who played CoD since CoD1; killstreaks were a terrible idea from day 1 in CoD4. Modern warfare 2 was the final nail in the coffin.

I'm just happy that the concept is finally starting to die. Please don't bring it back.

We do have killstreaks just kill more people.

hmmm i like it ... but could the killstreak galaxy spawn smaller galaxie's perhaps ?

Dont feed the troll fellas... Just take a look at OP's post history
