Killstreaks
UAV - 3 kills
Pros
Can Show enemy units on the map
Cons
Refresh time on the UAV is slow enough so that it only gives you a rough idea as to enemies location. will not detect enemies with coldblooded
My Tips
Use a heartbeat sensor in conjunction with UAV, the heartbeat sensor refreshes faster than the UAV so you have a constant refresh of enemy locations (unless they have coldblooded and ninja)
Care Package - 4 Kills
Pros
Able to get another killstreak from the Care package
Cons
Enemies will rush the area of the drop to stop you getting it and try to get it themselves
My Tips
The care package runner is by far the most useful, however, using the care package itself as a trap for the enemy is also well known and also useful, however, to make the most of this u need to think strategically on location
Counter-UAV - 4 Kills
Pros
scrambles the enemies radar
Cons
by far the most useless KS IMO
My Tips
To make the most of this killstreaks, use ninja pro, that way the enemy cant here you if they are camping out while counter UAV is active
Sentry Gun - 5 kills
Pro
great for defending a position, forcing an enemy into going a certain way, suppressing fire
Cons
Bad placement will make the sentry gun useless
My Tips
Placing the sentry gun against a corner of a wall is a must, also in well known camping areas will get u as many kills as a attack chopper
Predator Missile - 5 kills
Pros
a quick easy to get killstreak that can earn a few kills if yur lucky and use it right
Cons
useless against enemies in buildings or those with cold blooded
My tips
not much to say here except go for a single opponent out in the open if loads of enemies are under cover, its better to get 1 kill than it is to get none, go for the sure fire kills over multiple's every time
Precision Airstrike - 6 kills
Pro
can get alot of kills if u do it right, can chose trajectory yourself
Con
rushing it could mean the difference between getting kills and just making pretty fireworks display
My tips
UAV, having someone in your team use a UAV before u use This means maximum Chance to get alot of kills, Secondly, knowing the layout of the maps is Key, ive gotten 4+ kills just by getting a direct hit through windows
Harrier Strike - 7 Kills
Pro
An Airstrike followed by a hovering Harrier, harrier can destroy Choppers
Cons
Slow moving makes it an easy taget, Use javelin to by-pass Angel Flares
My Tips
Use the harrier Strike near the outside of the map (if u dont know where the enemy) as the harrier will slowly move to the center of the map automatically
Attack Helicopter - 7 kills
Pro
fast moving attack copper
cons
Javelin makes quick work of the attack chopper
My tips
not much to say here, except use it asap, as it can easily get destroyed, so dont waste time using it near the end of a match, better to get it out the way early and make way for better killstreaks
Emergency Airdrop - 8 kills
Pro
4 care packages, great for luring the enemy to them for easy kills
Con
Easy to lose packages on top of buildings in crowded area's or out of boundaries, half the time u get duplicate KS, usually useless 1's
My Tips
Use somewhere in the open where u can get a sniper covering the area, or get someone to airstrike the Airdrop LZ
Pave Low - 9 kills
Pro
Armored attack helicopter, takes more damage than a normal chopper
Con
Slow moving, easily destroyed with Javelin
My tips
Pave low is great for holding down enemies in a certain area, as pave low is so slow it concentrates its fire in 1 area longer, great for modes like domination
Stealth Bomber - 9 kills
Pro
Better version of precision airstrike, can blanket 1 side of the map to the other (in 90% of the maps), u dont know where its coming from, the shockwave from the bombs hitting ground shake the screen
Con
can easily get into cover as you can hear the rumble of the bombers coming a good 4-5 seconds before they hit
My tips
if u dont know where the enemy is, always hit diagonally across the map, more chance (in my experience) to hit enemies
Chopper Gunner - 11 kills
Pro
Controllable (the gun not the actual chopper) Chopper, can easily get alot of kills if you know what you are doing, u can tell ur team where the enemy is on team games as its a perfect scout tool, no reload time on the gun
Con
Enemies always try to shoot down a chopper gunner asap, chopper flys way to low most maps and is easy to shoot down because of this, chopper flys in low in areas where there is no enemies half the time
My Tips
There is a targeting reticule that will let you know if u can hit an enemy clearly, inside the red enemy square icon the player has a white cross if u can get a clear shot, always go for these targets, as u will always kills, plus, if u cant hit the enemy, the enemy cant hit you either
AC-130 - 11 kills
Pros
More powerful guns that can wipe out an entire team with well placed shots, 3 different types of guns, scroll through while other guns are reloading, cn only be shot down with a stinger, has angel flares to stop first stinger
Cons
Slow reload time, not as accurate as chopper gunner especially in crowed areas
My Tips
Lead the target, as your so high up u have to anticipate where the enemy is going, otherwise you could miss the target
EMP - 15 Kills
Pro
Disrupts anything electrical, Radar, air traffic, makes enemies unable to call care packages
Con
Doesnt last that long, other than that there nothing bad about it (other than not being able to be a care package runner)
My Tips
Use when there's loads of airtraffic, most importantly try to use against big KS's like Ac-130, pave low and copper gunner
Tactical Nuke - 25 kills
Pro
automatically ends the game
Con
The bitching from the enemy team when you use it
My Tips
Laugh and taunt the enemy team in the lobby after you use use it
