Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Perks & Killstreaks Leaked?

image

Have gamers with leaked early copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 compiled a full list of MW2 Killstreak bonuses and Multiplayer Perks, or is this an elaborate hoax?

Personally, my money's on the first option. As always, this is unconfirmed, and Infinity Ward is unable to comment on rumors and leaks before CoD: Mewtwo hits on the 10th, so take everything here with a grain of salt - but given the detail here (and YouTube support) I'm inclined to think that these are the Real McCoy.

The Perks have two levels, an initial "Standard" Perk which can then be upgraded to the "Pro" version.

(Spoilers, by the way!)

Modern Warfare 2 Perks
* Marathon - Tier 1 - Standard: Unlimited Sprint - Pro: Get over obstacles faster
* Sleight of Hand - Tier 1 - Standard: Faster Reload - Pro: Aim down sights faster
* Scavenger - Tier 1 - Standard: Retrieve ammo from dead bodies
* Bling - Tier 1 - Standard: Dual attachments on primary weapon - Pro: Dual attachments on secondary weapon
* One Man Army - Tier 1 - Standard: Switch classes in game (no respawn needed)
* Stopping Power - Tier 2 - Standard: Increased bullet damage - Pro: Increased bullet damage to cars and Killstreak vehicles
* Lightweight - Tier 2 - Standard: Move faster
* Hardline - Tier 2 - Standard: Killstreak rewards require 1 less kill - Pro: Deathstreaks require 1 less death
* Cold Blooded - Tier 2 - Standard: Undetectable by UAV, air support, sentries, and thermal
* Danger Close - Tier 2 - Standard: Increases explosive weapons damage
* Commando - Tier 3 - Standard: Increased melee distance - Pro: No falling damage
* Steady Aim - Tier 3 - Standard: Increased hip-fire accuracy
* Scrambler - Tier 3 - Standard: Scrambles the radar of nearby enemies
* Ninja - Tier 3 - Standard: Invisible to heartbeat sensors - Pro: Move silently
* SitRep - Tier 3 - Standard: Insertions. Reveals enemy explosives and Tactical Insertions
* Last Stand - Tier 3 - Standard: Survive (on the ground) for 10 seconds after being killed, pistol equipped - Pro: Use grenades and equipment as well as your pistol

Modern Warfare 2 Killstreaks
3 Kills -- UAV
4 Kills -- Care Package
4 Kills -- Counter UAV
5 Kills -- Sentry Gun
5 Kills -- Predator Missile
6 Kills -- Precision Airstrike
7 Kills -- Strike
7 Kills -- Attack Heli
8 Kills -- Emergency Airdrop
9 Kills -- Pave Low
9 Kills -- Stealth Bomber
11 Kills -- Chopper Gunner
11 Kills -- AC-130
15 Kills -- EMP
25 Kills -- Tactical Nuke (this instantly ends the match with you as the victor)

It's too bad that there's no "Avoid Controversy" Perk. Infinity Ward might have gotten some use out of that one.

Tatical Nuke?

That's just silly.

Highest killstreak I ever got in a CoD game was 17 (Hardcore Team Deathmatch, Cod4) and 15 (WaW multiplayer beta team deathmatch).

Getting a 25 killstreak would be...impressive, to say the least

Not too hard... Essentially one good player can win for the whole team now.

Oh dear god no. What the hell is up with that nuke? Thats just balls...

Otherwise, looking good. I doubt it's all of the perks though.

Also last stand is back? Great. Looking forward to getting killed by people using their primary weapons whilst sitting down...

Yes. This is what CoD needed, more killstreak bonuses. Although I don't approve of the tactical nuke, it seems kind of... too much. But everything else seems awesome.

Ugh - once again as more multi-player information floods out I'm not liking it at all:

* Bling - Tier 1 - Standard: Dual attachments on primary weapon - Pro: Dual attachments on secondary weapon

Is something I completly oppose.

and

* Last Stand - Pro: Use grenades and equipment as well as your pistol

Could be horribly abused in the wrong circumstances.

Funk, I hate to bring this to your attention, but the game itself was leaked today.

One Man Army is stupid.
It basically makes strategy useless.

Edit: I hate to ask but I haven't really been following the game's progress. What's a deathstreak and why/how is it rewarded?

No falling damage is handy however.

Don't care so much about MP spoilers but

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. NUKES?!?!?!

Awsome is the word. And the new perks look fancy enough. These 8 days couldn't come faster.

No Juggernaut?!?
oh well, at least Stopping power is still there.
Ninja looks cool.
Scrambler may work agenst the person who has it, if my radar starts messing up it will be a good indacation that someone with that perk is near.

I think the perks are a bit overpowered especially the nuke -_- basically a few good players will end matches in less than 10 mins and get billions of point while the rest of use get to WoW at the possible Hi-Def graphics they better put with that weapon or I will have to kill someone.

Bling sounds awesome but at the same time rather overpowered.

Nuke seems pointless, anyone on 25 streak will have won the game I imagine.

OMG that looks bad for balance reasons.

Seems like everyone is commenting on the Tactical nuke.

I was actually talking about this the other day; saying IW should have a hidden 100 Kill Streak Nuke or something.

That nuke thing seems like a very bad idea. You get one guy who spawn caps the other team and he can win the game in 2 minutes without giving the other team any chance.

What the fuck? No Juggernaut? Great. I look forward to dying in one body shot from a guy with stopping power that I couldn't even see giving me absolutely NO chance to defend myself and making the game even less skill based than it already was. Though no martyrdom is always a plus. *Looks at level 2 last stand* That's it. I'm abusing that. You take my juggernaut, I'm abusing the hell out of that.

The tactical nuke is a nice touch, good reward for anyone who manages the 25 streak whilst at the same time allowing the poor sods they're destroying to end their misery sooner.

Something tells me that the "Tactical Nuke" perk is going to be horribly abused (in large games atleast).

While getting a 25-kill streak isn't exactly a walk in the park, it could turn some of the larger matches into a game of "Crowd around the best player on your team and protect him until he gets 25 kills".

P.S.

....No I would guess that this would be half-true, half false. You see a lot of confirmed perks in there, along with some good guesses, but some of the stuff in there looks incredibly stupid, as if it was done by somebody like a hoaxer. Marathon giving you unlimited sprinting power? Really? That would be ridiculous. Plus gamers with early leaks of the game are well known to be the most reliable source, even when there seems to only be one video linked.

Well, theyre certainly letting us play with all the toys this time round, only time will tell if all these are a good idea or not I guess

25 kill streak gets you a nuke? Not sure how I feel about that... Well, wait, isn't a single FFA match usually only 25 kills anyway? And even if it's fifty, it's not that big of a deal...

If teams are a smart though... they'll set up one guy to get all the kills.

I believe the deal with the nuke isn't that it wins the game, it just kills everybody currently alive on the map at once.

And yeah, It's been leaked, videos and torrents are everywhere. I want multiplayer so I'll probably be getting a legit copy.

Also, I just have to say it.

I can't believe this, of all games, is on the web at this early.

OT- the nuke sounds unreasonable. IW is smarter than that. I've gotten a 25 kill streak on World at War before and I'm on the F*cking Wii!!!! Just because it's "leaked" doesn't mean it's completely true. We needed Activision to say "yes the intro is real......."

you can only have 3 of the kill streaks so unless your really really good your not gonna choose the nuke

HA! Seriously - no. While the killstreaks may be right, there are more perks than that. There were more in Cod4, and this is promised to have more, and there are 70 levels now!

More perks than this is my option.

Whoa, you customized the picture!

OT: Well, you have to CHOOSE the nuke as a killstreak bonus first, then you get to use it once you hit 25
