Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Perks & Killstreaks Leaked?

This article is over 15 years old and may contain outdated information

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.
