Black Ops 2 Scorestreaks Guide

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the familiar Killstreak Reward system has been given an overhaul. Players now earn points for just about everything they do in the game, from capturing flags to earning kills. Those points are built up towards their 'scorestreak reward'. When they fulfill the required amount of points, that reward is unlocked and available for use.

Read on to check out the available Scorestreak Rewards in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and their order of use.

Nice! Can't wait to pwn rookies with my VTOL.

i cant wait to release the hounds.

Swiggins5017d ago

Hmmmm, it seems that by changing it to a score based system rather than a kill based one, it'll be much harder to earn streaks in objective based games because kills are worth less, instead you'll be forced to get out of your hidey hole and play the objective.

This is a move that should have been done years ago.

CrimsonessCross5017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

I know some people will probably stick to their K/D ratio elitist ways, but this is definitely a welcome change I heard about.
I would really rather have games with an objective be scored and based around THAT objective.

I will say I camp, but not to the extent of sitting in the same spot all game, unless people are stupid enough to keep coming at me. Protecting the objective or a choke point is important and kills are not something above doing that. I mostly move around tactically or carefully, not just "RUN N GUNZ!" xP

Bobertt5017d ago

you still get most of you score from kills.

VverdugovV5017d ago

Depends on the game mode. If your playing TDM, kills are worth 100 points but if your playing Domination they're worth 25 points. If scorestreak (dogs for example) requires 1275 points to be able to use it, you'll need around 13 kills in TDM to get it. On domination, it will take you 51 kills IF you only camp and don't capture some flags. What I'm curious about is how much will this affect Search and Destroy if kills are worth like 500 points. That would mean that with 3 kills you can call in the dogs.

Swiggins5017d ago

I hadn't consitered S&D, but you're right, the heavy amounts of points dolled out would have you streaks with just a couple of kills and a plant.

Maybe they'll scale in certain modes, 1275 in TDM/Domination, 5000 in S&D?

Bobertt5017d ago

I don't know what setup i'll use. They sound cool tho, if you have a good team or one teammate to watch your back the death machine will be unstoppable.

I wonder if shooting down stuff still gives that 300 pts and what not.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS116d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead115d ago (Edited 115d ago )

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex167d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos167d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio167d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
