If that sounds like a recipe for more chaos than ever, you’d be correct. Going on a streak will help earn them faster, but the new system allows even a simpleton like me to carpet bomb the map with napalm at least once per match. Except now, progress toward streaks isn’t reset upon death (making “streak” a total misnomer). Cold War switches back to the Treyarch-style of scorestreaks that account for all points earned, not just kills. This is a roundabout way of saying that killstreaks are still around and still unfortunately prominent. The need for Ghost or Cold Blooded wastes a slot I’d rather use on a fun perk that lets me shoot while sprinting. All of the stealth-based perks like Ghost that I usually use to avoid UAVs are relegated to the third slot. Perks in the first two slots are minor bonuses to grenade resistances and cooldowns. I think this is partly why perks are less impactful this time around. I enjoy the absurdity of Gunfighter, which lets you stick eight attachments to a gun instead of the usual five, though I suspect most players will stick to the Perk Greed wildcard to score an extra three perks for free.
Wildcards, class modifiers seen in past Black Ops games, let you bend the rules in some fun ways. Treyarch’s latest take on Create-a-Class does come with a few improvements.
