I'll give you some more food for thought as to why it is 15 kills. Who benefits directly from hitting the enemy with an EMP? Your whole team. With an AC-130, Apache, Pave Low, Harrier, Stealth Bomber, Sentry Gun....all these things with the exception of a care drop or emergency drop (if the player isn't greedy, which I usually am), the EMP benefits the whole team. Everybody will get more kills because of it.
So instead of 1 person just getting kills with the weapon, all 6 players can get it. And not all the time do EMP's come from a killstreak. You can occasionally get them in a caredrop package. The EMP is a definate tide turner of a match, because unlike all the other weapons mentioned above, it can't be stopped once used. You have to endure the whole thing, and the entire team benefits from the enemy being completely without technological aid.
No other killstreak in MW2 can do that.

thermal & heartbeat what you depend on these?
killstreaks get shot down any way so big deal.
Not one thing an EMP does is "devastating"
Also I get 15 killstreaks alot and the other team is still winning so to say that if you have 15 killstreaks your winning is flawed just because im doing good does not mean my team is.
And using an EMP is not going to win the game.
EMP 7 killstreak at best if it is devastating to you, then you can't be all that good.
UAV gives you a hub, and pressing start gives you a map to show you your allies.
So all you use is a silencer, fmj, and extended mags? (yeh, I love those too).
They give you an advantage if you do use them right. Not depend on, receive aid from.
Can't shoot down an EMP, but an EMP will take down EVERYTHING and prevent the enemy from using any killstreak.
I guess completely limiting your opponent to the bare components of war while the other team can still use technology is not devastating.
Making the enemy have no advantage whatsoever for your crappy teammates makes it a lot easier to win a match, even when your down. Again, it's a match changer.
I guess you're just better then the game then.
