I know they have never met but I wonder what they'd think of each other if they did meet one day.

Pavelow - Kills everything on the ground; better than a Chopper Gunner and gets me more kills.

Harriers - Best value killstreak, still pretty hard to get but any decent player can get them often

Stealth Bomber - The coolest killstreak in the game. Can wipe the entire enemy team out. 9 kills is a bit too high, if it were 7 it would be the meta killstreak

Tactical Nuke - Pretty obvious

UAV - The most useful killstreak ever. Literally tells you where most enemies are. What more could you want?

Emergency Airdrop - Most chaotic fun killstreak; can be stolen but can get you great rewards

AC130 - Vastly superior to the underwhelming Chopper Gunner; has to reload but far harder to shoot down, you can easily get a nuke

--------

Predator Missile - Always good for a kill or two; best "bang for buck" killstreak. Can be inconsistent sometimes. Sleeper combo is 5-11-25 (Predator, AC130, Nuke); on Ground War it can get you the AC130 singlehandedly with enough luck

Precision Airstrike - More inconsistent than Predator Missile but actually really good for Domination Ground War. Can easily get 5+ kills with the right placement

EMP - A bit too high (12 kills would make more sense), but extremely helpful to keep sweaty snipers from spamming Harriers and Pavelows

--------

Counter UAV - Decent but easy to shoot down. More of an annoyance than anything else

--------

Sentry Gun - Can get a fair amount of kills, but it's hard to want to use it because you can't use it to obtain any killstreaks

Care Package - Can get you a decent killstreak, but more often than not you get ammo

Chopper Gunner - Very underwhelming half the time. Too easy to shoot down; if it had another flare it would be far better. Should probably be 9 kills instead of 11, if you want it to be easy to blow up

-------

Attack Helicopter - Enters the map, proceeds to miss 3/4 of the shots and get blown up. Literal trash

This is a 2011 video I found so it was probably patched but from what I understand, killstreaks from care packages NEVER counted towards your actual killstreak. The only exception I remember was at launch where the Pavelow would count from a care package, but that was patched out AFAIK.

I used 5-11-25 for my first nuke rather than the usual 7-11-25, sometimes I use it to this day. Getting 5 kills instead of 7 was way easier for me, nowadays 7 gun kills is really hard. 4/5 is the most I can consistently get usually (Hardline user here).

I've also used Harrier - Pavelow - Nuke (7-9-25) and even, believe it or not, Attack Heli - Pavelow - Nuke of all things.

9 kills for it was a bit much (7 kills and it'd be a great nuke combo option), but it covered a huge part of the map. I've gotten some crazy multikills from it. Stealth Bomber was also really scary if you were the enemy as you obviously didn't know where it'd strike.

Unfortunately not many used it cause it was too expensive - 9 kills and you had to choose it or the Pavelow, and that was a no brainer choice. Also super cool and weird looking as well. It was just a satisfying killstreak IMO.

I think i've even done SB - AC - Nuke combo before. Weird combo but I have gotten 9 gun killstreaks occasionally.
