He's correct. The killstreaks do not start over on death. They only start over once you have earned them all and on top of that you can build toward the streak by getting more than kills. Capturing flags, objective gamplay, and assist all count towards earning the killstreak. It's a class for average players really that way they can earn killstreaks and help the team out. It also encourages people to play the objectives more.

ETA This is only for that class set up of killstreaks. Not for the other two options.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. The other poster was saying that if you die twice, the streaks will reset. I didn't know if that was true or not.

And I understand what they are trying to do throwing the average players a bone, but it seems like everyone will be using this set up to get streaks especially since they don't reset if you die.

Somebody also mentioned that you don't stop earning streaks after you reach your third one. After you get that one, you start over if you're still streaking.

ETA: Maybe I'm just dumb or don't remember, but do the streaks stack like in MW2? Or is it going to be like Black Ops?

I'm confused on this too. I don't like the stackable killstreaks because it promotes camping letting one get another. You shoudl earn them...not just the first one. I liked how BLOPS handled this.

However, I'm not sure I like the deal that Stout is mentioning about the killstreaks not starting over on death. I'm like you in seeing a potential "problem" with people using this class to continue them. That seems like there will be a whole lot of "streaks" going on at one time from both sides.

For the Assault strike package, they stack like MW2.

I see that now...went back and read the OP. That sucks. But I guess the balance they are trying to make was stackable KS in Assault vs. Non-resetting KS in the support. I don't know. Going to see how it all plays out.

I hope they bring back a third person mode, too. That was a guilty pleasure of mine in MW2. I won't be devestated if they don't.

I tried that mode some. It could be fun, but frustrating at the same time. There were too many snipers. If I remember correctly, they could still use the scope while all the other guns all you could use was the reticule down range.

I never came across too many snipers...maybe on Estate, but it usually wasn't too bad.

I don't remember, but if they were able to use teh scope, I'm sure they could. I played it to get the challenges on scopes that I was tring to max out like the ACOG. It was too hard to see with it (for me) in regular multiplayer, but on the 3rd person, it didn't matter.

It seemed like I always played that map in 3rd person so maybe that was why I saw them alot.

True. That never came up in the larger parties. Even in 6 vs. 6 it wasn't played a lot.
