One of the most iconic aspects of the Call of Duty franchise are the killstreaks. Perhaps the one major aspect that separated the franchise from games like Medal of Honor and other military first-person shooters, killstreaks are one of the most important features in any series title. From the Chopper Gunner to the AC-130 to the Tactical Nuke, streaks are synonymous with Call of Duty. In Black Ops Cold War though, the formula has been changed up significantly.
Instead of the tried and true system, Treyarch has decided to allow streaks to not reset upon death. Also, killstreaks have been retired, as they often are in Black Ops games, in exchange for scorestreaks. While these two changes might upset some fans, the developers are still delivering some highly lethal and interesting streaks in Black Ops Cold War.
