Killstreak Vs. Scorestreak, Explained
LikeMW2,Modern Warfare 3allows players to choosethe style of unlocking strike packages. Killstreak grants one strike package for a specific kill count. For instance, four consequent kills unlock the Mosquito Drone. Scorestreak does the same per earned score for killing, destroying objects, orcompleting objectives.
Which one’s the best? Since Scorestreaks count both kills and scores, it is the ideal method. But players who get kill combos fast would benefit from the Killstreak system.
