I am currently really enjoying crysis 2 multiplayer at the moment. But is it just me here in thinking that the killstreaks in this game are bloody awful? My efficiency with the orbital strike is just 0.88 and the ceph gunship is only 2.55

Let me guess, you want CoD streaks where you get a free 15 kills for getting a 9 kill streak. Streak rewards promote camping theres no doubt about that. The more powerful they are the more people are likely to sit in a corner all game until they get one. Its no secret that every CoD match has at least 2 people who do nothing but crouch in a corner all game.

They give a little edge, not a dominating gamebreaking one which is more than enough. Maximum Nanosuit is practically a free capture in CTR.

its you

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but, anyways... That's why UT3 is awesome. You get taunts like "Meeegaaaa kiiiillllll", "Moooonsteeeer kiiill", "God like!" etc But UT3 is too fast to allow lame players to camp. That just wouldn't work with Crysis 2.
I just want some voice/fx to scream when I'm on killstreak... so I can get my nerdgazm! xD

Maximum radar is the most retarded name anybody could come up with for the UAV.
Orbital strike is fun to use and looks amazing.
Ceph gunship is super-useful but very easy to shoot down. Right now it seems like i'm the only one ever shooting the thing and it goes down relatively fast, so I imagine it will become nigh-useless once people figure out that you can destroy it.
Maximum nanosuit is basically invulnerability with a retarded name, again.

Radar jammer and nansouit disruptor pale compared to the orbital strike, so those two svck.

So yeah, in conclusion: It's mostly you.

It all depends on how you use them. I've had far more luck with Maximum Nanosuit than the Ceph Gunship. The orbital strike is pretty good, but I find it's also a hazard to you because it can cause servers to lag pretty badly.

About the only one I have a complaint about is the Nano Suit Disruptor. It has such a small range, and in addition to that, when it is dropped it tends to just bounce wherever it feels its natural place is, often being way way out of place to do any good. I'd say buff its range, and remove the bubble animation from it so people can't find it as easily. At the moment, dropping it on an enemy base, or something you are defending makes it an easy 200 points to anyone willing to put a magazine of ammo into it.

Actually, I never play cod, I hate it. So you've kind of just out done yourself there.

its you
Your a funny one. Couldnt stop laughing when I read your hilarious comment. And by the way, I was being sarcastic if your brain isnt advanced enough to realise that.

Hate a game you've never played. Yeah ok.

The killstreaks are interesting, but i wish they were more varied you know?

0.0

WHAAA??

They're about as varied as you can get.
No two killstreaks are even similar!

Now, how about MW2? Stealth bomber and precision air strike are all but the same. Pavelow = attack chopper = harrier. AC130 = Chopper gunner.
The worst thing is that one reward is obviously better than the other for the same amount of kills.
7 kills. Harrier or attack chopper? Well, the harrier comes with a free air strike and the attack chopper only shoots a target enough to injure them.
Chopper gunner is an AC130 with 10x the fire rate and 25% smaller explosion radius. And the bullets are instantaneous instead of taking 3 secs to hit the target.

Also, nanosuit disruptor is great for crash site.

Kill streaks are fine, but i was expecting more diversity.

BTW, Maximum Nanosuit is cr4p.

I'd like Killstreaks to disappear and for games to kind go back to currency-based rewards akin to Homefront and Crysis/Crysis Wars.

I think the killstreaks are good, not too powerful but still rewarding.

Killstreaks are fine. The only one that I don't find useful is the Nanosuit Disrupter.

Try them on Crash Site, Extraction and Capture the Relay.
It's very bad in TIA and IA, though.

Whats crap about infinite energy, increased move speed and massive amounts of health? Yea I guess it is crap if you crouch in a corner all game.

Maximum nanosuit crap? That's funny, as that's the best one.
i can easily get a 7 killstreak with it almost every time
And if you save it until after you die after the original 7 killstreak you can completely destroy a room.

Sure, they're more interesting than MW2's. But i wouldn't mind at least a high devastating killstreak reward.

Clearly you cant speak english very well so im going to explain it to you. I said I never play it, that doesnt mean I havnt played it in the past. Now lets see what your response is to that. Although you probably wont have one. You just got owned.

I think you should be able customise the killstreaks, I don't think they are a good enough award for getting that many kills to be honest.

MAXIMUM C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!

Though in all seriousness I really enjoy the killstreaks, they're varied and not a focus of the game like they are on Cod.

You're calling the Kill streaks meaningless, but look at them: Orbital Strike, I can kill at least 7 people with it and I use retriever, So I get a Maximum Nanosuit, kill around 8 people and finish at the top of the bored....
