Kill Streak Rewards: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is set to be one of the best online experiences the world has encountered.
The original has simply pioneered first-person shooter games that we will play online in the future; the weapons are phenomenally realistic, the graphics are intense and the game play is smooth and quick.
Also, the idea of kill streaks is one of a kind.
But playing this game for so long, the standard kill streaks can get rather tedious.
Infinity Ward released a trailer depicting a portion of the online game play of the much anticipated Modern Warfare 2.
Of course the main attraction of this trailer is the ability to customize your kill streak load outs - it shows the AC130 gunship, which we imagine the player controls, using the infrared image and the different calibre guns of the gunship just like the mission in CoD4.
Quite interestingly, the AC130 also appears to have a defence feature unlike the standard load outs in CoD4; there is a scene that lasts a number of seconds of a player firing a homing missile (awesome!) at the AC130, then the gunship reacts and releases a flare and it changes to the next scene before you see anything happen.
Now, assuming the gunship released flares, the flares should take the gunships place and the missile will assume the flare is the target it is heading for.
This will definitely make the battles more interesting! Another cool little thing that's worth pointing out is the new type of grenade that was introduced in this trailer; Semtex - just like the sticky grenades in Call of Duty: World at War (N° 74).
Except this time they won't be looking like giant gobstopper lollypops! These two new features should lead to some new and interesting strategies for the eagerly anticipated game Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, released in November 2009.
