Black Ops 2 Score Streaks

As I mentioned in an earlier post I can not wait for Black Ops 2 to come out.  One of the features that I am really interested in seeing is the new Score Streaks feature.  You can check them out in the COD Black Ops 2 Blog where they are listed and a picture of each one is provided.

Score Streaks potentially are going to do something that I have wanted since I started playing the first person shooter.  They are going to make players play the objective and not try to turn every game mode into a game of TDM (team death match).

By killing other players, capturing flags, defending flags, maintaining hard points and performing other scoring events you will earn points which fill up your Score Streak Meter. The meter is located on the lower right hand side of the HUD.  Filling the meter lets you use one of the 22 Score Streaks listed below.

Here is the list of Black Ops 2 Score Streak Rewards you have to choose three from:

• RC-XD — A remote-controlled car packed with explosives (325 points)
• UAV — Shows enemies on the mini-map (375 points)
• Hunter Killer — Airborne drone that seeks out and destroys a nearby target (400 points)

Questions and Answers about Black Ops 2 Score Streaks:

1. Do Score Streaks stack or build towrads your next Score Streak?

Yes, the points that you get from preforming actions that give you score, add towards acheaving all your Score Streaks.  For example if you have selected to get the three lowest Score Streaks (see above point totals) the RC-XD, the UAV and the Hunter Killer (which is worth 400 points) if you preform an action that gets you 400 points, you will earn all three of your kill streaks.

The amount of points that you get per scoring action also depends on the game mode that you are playing.

2. Do Score Streaks span lives?

No, each time you die you lose all your points on your Score Streak Meter gets reset.

3. So how many Score Streaks are there? How many do you get per life?

There are 22 Score Streaks (see the list above).  You have a load out of three, just like all other COD games.
