Killstreaks

During the matches you can get 3 different kill streak bonuses. When calling an air strike, the kills you get will be added to your kill streak. If you die before you call a helicopter, the helicopter’s kills will be added to your next kill streak unless you die once more. After the initial 7 the game says 10 Kill Streak, 15 Kill Streak, and onward for every 5 kill streaks until you die. They apply to all playlists.

1. UAV Recon: After 3 kills you get UAV for 30 seconds which shows everyone on the radar who doesn’t have a UAV Jammer
2. Airstrike: After 5 kills you get to place an air strike anywhere on the map. Three fly overs of bombs depending where you drop it.
3. Helicopter Support: After 7 kills you get a helicopter which is controlled by a computer. It kills enemies with a machine gun and can be shot down.
