Multiplayer

Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode has Killstreaks and Deathstreaks to help both the experienced players as well as the newcomers.

  • Killstreaks are meant to help the experienced users and give them something to aim for. You can choose a maxium of three different killstreaks in your loadout. When you reach a set amount of kills without dying you can use one of the following killstreaks.
  • Deathstreaks are meant for those that are not experienced at all, newcomers or players with plain bad luck. These deathstreaks are activated when you die a set amount of times without making a kill yourself.
  • Kills obtained via a Killstreak Reward count towards your next killstreak UNLESS it's obtained through a care package.
