I'm assuming you mean with the amount of kills required to get 4 = 54?

Nope. The KS/PS does not reset upon death so you are guaranteed the KS/PS once only per game. It never resets so if you have them all use them then die tough luck you are not going to get them again as it DOES NOT RESET.

I hadn't even thought about it like that to be honest.

Although I wonder what happens if you switch to a different class with a different streak, then go back to it, do you then get another run on the killstreaks?

I noticed a couple of people are thinking the same as yourself, but that is the thing ONCE per game and that is it. Very boring and very slow to get any unlocks/titles against them, that catagory is going to be a grind.

I hope not, they require payment. Just your regular run of the mill ho's will do

Managed to get a HE on pre-order, WIN

those killstreaks are crap, they arent as effective as the proper killstreaks, its a support package for noobs who basically dont get many kills.

Or for people that actually play objective games and don't think the whole thing is a KDR exercise.

Has that been confirmed because it also says once you get to the end of your killstreak list you don't need to die to start off a new list.

"Players pointstreak resets after the 3rd streak is reached, no need to die to restart a streak"

That would suggest to me that once you reach the 3rd one it would carry on in support as well as strike.

Where have you got that from? The support package doesn't reset when you die, but I've seen a game play video where a guy gets his highest killstreak and then he starts earning points towards his UAV again.

I wish I could find the video because it's now getting on my nerves that I can't find it.

dannyjo22 · 1 Nov 2011 at 16:19

That's what I mean, for instance if you ran hardline with UAV Counter Uav and say sam turret, every 4 kills you would be restarting?

There would be no air units up because you would just keep dropping a sam turret. Plus you wouldn't even need a 4 streak to do it, you could just save sam turrets

ONESHOTKILL · 1 Nov 2011 at 16:24

i thought once you used your last reward say 8 kills Sam turret,it will reset,so to get 3 sam turrets you would need atleast 24 kills,but obviously you would never have 3 sam turrets because to restart a killstreak you would need to use the last reward

Alrik · 1 Nov 2011 at 16:24

I wouldn't even use hardline since those streaks don't reset when you die and MW3 will be so easy to get kills in.

Just look at MW2 when you play certain game types as a team, you end up with 50+ kills even without your killstreaks (happens to me because they get shot down straight away).

I missed that bit but I understood as once per game, if that is true then I will happily die after 2 kills and spam UAV's

antijoke · 1 Nov 2011 at 16:25

I have read that once you reach your required KS/PS you start all over again, now this could be different for the support streaks, but I guess we will find out on day 1 next week.

If it does it will get abused to kingdom come.

but if one guy from other team throws up a cuav or sam turret your stuffed,the vids of the sam turrets in action look pretty leathel that's why i think the air power wont be as big as mw2 because the sam turrets look pretty good,so a balanced team running support and assault i think wont have any trouble with overpowed air support.so i do think it will come down to gun on gun abit more,i think the vests and sam and jug will prob be one best killstreaks to use

24 points mate not 24 kills. So in domination you would get points for captures etc. So you wouldn't even need 24 kills.

This is what I'm saying, you can also get 1 point per 2 assists as well, you could end up with massive amounts of support streaks waiting for relatively few kills and no problem dieing.

People are going to moan like ****!

Greboth · 1 Nov 2011 at 17:01

It will be hard to say how things will work out online because everything can be countered one way or another. As the KS start again once you hit the highest one, I hope it works out for support class that you don't start earning them again until you have used the highest one otherwise the map is going to get spammed with KS rewards.

This game gives me a headache.

I though KS on assault are as per MW2
PS on support dont reset when you die

More SAM turrets is no bad thing for the people who think KS are overpowered surely, means you have to hunt out SAM turrets before getting air support in. People will have to listen out for enemy kill/point streaks more to plan when to use killstreaks too
