You could hear the footsteps from halfway across the map and it's lock on was it nearly fast enough to catch people running away now
You can manually control this thing. But what's the point? It's still slow and obvious
it could have been awesome like some super roided-up version of a GI unit from black ops 3
But it was too slow to be effective in a game as fast-paced and infinite warfare
Quick in the comments section that tell me your favorite kill streak in cata history of all-time kill streaks
don't get enough love and they have been a staple of Call of Duty ever since cod4 it and they're often a great way to
Reward the good players while encouraging the less. So good players to get better
They're creating that addicting quality cod is known for but what happens when the kill streaks aren't worth the effort well
today
I want to take a journey through cod history and pick out the worst kill streak in every single
Call of Duty now as a disclaimer
We're gonna start with modern warfare 2 and go all the way to modern warfare
2019 because kill streaks weren't introduced until Cod 4 and since cod4 in world at war only had three streaks each
It's kind of pointless to put them on the list because there weren't any bad streaks in those games
So if we can agree on that we are good. Also this is going to be lethal streaks only no tactical
No recon streaks at all. So you guys let me know drop a like show some love as always

Let's get into it starting things off at modern warfare 2 it if you want to tell me what you think is the worst
Rotation streak in cod4 in world at war go ahead, but there nunim were bad
So, I mean you can if you want to the sentry gun now
This is a streak that is now a staple of Call of Duty
But it took a few entries to actually get it right to really hone in on it
The sentry gun made its debut and modern warfare 2 is a 5 point streak
But it was a little different from the centuries that you're used to instead of just clicking the button and putting it down in
modern warfare 2
You had to throw down a red smoke grenade that marked a care package
Then you had to capture said care package and then you got this entry good then
You could place this entry wherever you wanted to now
it was a long process in or fair to
Speed was everything you wanted streaks that wouldn't slow you down and that you could string together one after another so the sentry gun well
It was a huge pace killer then once you actually got it on the field. It wasn't really good
It was only active for 90 seconds. It could be disabled with the single melee attacker explosives
And if you were using cold blooded which a lot of people were in modern warfare 2 you were invisible to it
I mean the central gun has been reworked a couple times throughout cod history
It's now a staple of the series and people loved him
but there is a reason why you never really saw them on the
Battlefield in modern warfare 2 and nobody ever even talks about him
they weren't worth the time or effort to call in or place you'd be lucky if you've got a killer too and
Some people don't even realize it was in the game now
We moved to black ops 1 there was a lot of that
There were a lot of good streaks in black ops 1 but the Valkyrie rockets. I
Don't know I would say black ops 1 had the best kill streaks selection in cod history
but that doesn't mean there weren't any stinkers and one of the main standouts to me in this department is the bow freak it was
A streak that would cost you 7 kills and you don't stack you don't get kills first history yet to get those kills
And apart earning it you would get a rocket launcher with two shots upon firing stead rocket launcher
You would leave your body and manually control the rocket around the map. Now the explosion it was extremely strong and lked
400 damage with a somewhat generous blast radius
But the handling there was something off about it the rockets move quickly
The sensitivity was super bizarre and actually putting the thing where you wanted to well
It was a lot harder than it sounded plus if you wanted a manual explosive streak
I mean why not just use the RC car?
I mean it was only three kills and it was way easier to control. The blast radius was stupid
Now there were upsides to the boundry rocket and they were very effective at destroying other kill streaks
but in terms of actual kill power and ease of use
I don't think it was very good. And you really you you cut you hardly ever saw them online?
Honestly now we arrived at modern warfare 3
remote
Century remember how I said the modern warfare 2 century gun wasn't worth the time or effort
Well Infinity Ward and sledgehammer tried to fix that problem in modern warfare 3 with the remote sentry
But they ended up just getting further away from their destination or solution as you know
The peel of a century gun and caught as you set it and forget it
You've let it do its thing watch it spot clean up anybody that runs by lockdown choke points
whatever
but the remote century
It was the exact opposite was a twelve point streak support chain mind you where you would place it somewhere
But then in order for it to fire you had to manually control it now if you're gonna manually control the kill streak in Cod
You generally want it to be something that will move around the map and can rack up kills preferably in the air
So tell me why would anyone?
Want to work for a twelve point streak just so they can put it down in a single spot and then lay there
hoping people would walk by I mean
I guess the fact that the remote sentry was so strong against helicopters that it was a nice touch
But if you were concerned about helis, I mean just pull out a launcher the remote sentry was pointless
I don't think I remember ever seeing anybody actually using it unless they were just trolling or going for funny reactions
Next up is black ops 2 now before I say anything about the escort drone. Keep in mind
This isn't because the drone is bad, but rather everything in black ops
2 was really good
Even the worst streaks in the game were beastly in one way or another with that being said
the escort drone was one of the least used streaks in black ops 2 mainly
Due to it being very expensive and not really worth it. It would cost you
1,250 points not would call it a small chopper
It would follow you around kind of like the dragon fire but a bit beefier
However, for how much you had to work to get it, it really didn't do too much
It was pretty much inferior to the stealth chopper, which was also significantly cheaper
So instead of roaming around the map shooting people like the chopper did the escort drone would just follow you around it
only shoot at people if they were immediately around you and also only it came equipped with
One flare which made it pretty easy to shoot down
It did have this slightly
Hilarious trait where it would always shoot it the person who last killed you meaning if you got teamed killed in hardcore the escort drone
Would automatically team kill the person right back which that was funny
But it also had the potential to get you kicked from the game. So again, the escort drone wasn't a bad streak
It was just a little too expensive for what you got in return for 1,250 points
You could do a lot better Call of Duty ghosts
The Maus now ghost was a notoriously weak game for kill streaks
Due to infinity award wanting to change up the formula with the game
They really toned down the power of streaks and it led to the game getting kind of boring now if we're including non-lethal streaks
I think everybody would put the sack come here. But since we're only doing lethal, I'm going in with the moss now
It was pretty similar to the Valkyrie rockets in black ops and it suffered a lot of the same flaws
It was a rocket launcher
you would earn after 9 points that you would manually aim in fire at which point it would split into two rockets and it could
Actually lock onto other kill streaks, which was cool the damage
it was inconsistent range anywhere from 135 down to 55 so you could hit someone with a kill streak weapon and
Possibly not even kill them now like the Valkyries the Maas had strengths
Like I said, it can lock onto other kill streaks and it could also kill a juggernaut with one direct impact
But ultimately hardly anybody used it. The streaks were all around pretty lame in Call of Duty ghosts
So most people just stuck to the specialists package instead of that and quite honestly, I don't blame them now
We've arrived at advanced warfare and we are back to the remote turrent. Once again another game that had some pretty weak kill streaks
They weren't as weak as ghosts
But they also didn't stand out the way the Golden Age Cod games did so again
Picking out a worse streak in a game like this is gonna be tough
But after a bit of thought I'm going with the remote turret which returned from modern warfare 3 for some reason now
After their turret was almost completely unused in modern warfare 3
I can't think of the reasoning to bring it back almost unchanged to the game with advanced movement
so again
it was a turret you placed in the spot of your choosing and then you had to manually control it by leaving the
Battlefield and hoping people walk in front of you
Which was even less common here than in modern warfare 3 because they were flying over you
I mean it and it was easy to avoid the gunfire to be fair
There was a variant of the remote turret that would let the AI control it like a normal century
But that wasn't very good either. So why would I boot up advanced warfare to not play advanced warfare?
Tell me that black ops 3 the Rolling Thunder
Now this one was pretty disappointing when black ops 3 first came out
Yeah, it appeared in black ops 1 is an 8 point streak and it was devastating
It charged a straight line across the map bombing the crap out of everybody
So when cod players saw bo3 bringing him back they were hyped and fortunately this one was no good
It did have a ton of kill potential, but that's the problem is not the same as consistency
The black ops 3 Rolling Thunder was nerfed dramatically
So instead of a plane flying over the map and bombing all rather quickly
This one was a series of drones that would dive onto the ground at one time in a big straight line
Well, what's bad about this you ask?
well
The Rolling Thunder was extremely obvious when it entered the map giving the enemy plenty of time to get out of the way to make
Matters worse the drones had very low help and if you were using an LMG with FMJ
You could just shoot a bunch and then down before they ever even touched the ground
It could be good on smaller Maps. I guess like nuke town and combine
but why would you run this when you could just run the hell storm or the lightning strike or save up your points for a
Rape for 950 points it was garbage and now we've reached him finet warfare and I'm gonna go with the rc8 it looked cooler
Than it was it was the second most expensive streak in the game which made it all the more disappointing
When it called it in and and Getti kills it was a huge drone. They would walk around the map killing anybody
It's on it was intimidating to jump around the corner and see it thundering at you
However, here's the downside it was huge
It was slow and it made it extremely easy to avoid in a game like infinite warfare
You could hear the footsteps from halfway across the map and it's lock-on wasn't nearly fast enough to catch people running away
Now you can manually control this thing. But what's the point? It's still slow and obvious
it could have been awesome like some super roided-up version of a GI unit from black ops 3
But it was too slow to be effective in a game as fast-paced in infinite warfare Call of Duty World War 2 the Molotov
Cocktail it has appeared in many Call of Duty games as a normal throwable
so
You know things are going to be a little underwhelming when the game turns them into a kill streak
cod world war 2 featured molotovs
It was a lower level kill streak get three or four kills depending on the game mode
You were given one singular Molotov cocktail
Which was functionally identical
to the non kill Street versions of older games you throw it creates this little fire puddle a
Fire puddle and it burns anyone who walks in it before they disappeared
The Molotov was basically used as the world war 2 equivalent of a thermite grenade, but there really wasn't anything special about it
So why make it a kill streak as opposed to a normal piece of equipment that was kind of weird by Sledge or bad you?
Could choose objectives pretty well with them in hardcore modes
But why was it a streak black ops for the dart now bo4 had some ridiculous streets
The sniper's nest the gunship the mantis there were some good ones arguably a little
but if I had to pick a single worst streak, I'm going with the dart which made its return from black ops 3
But it suffered the same flaws. It was a hunter killer drone
You would manually control had a couple rockets to shoot out before smashing into somebody for a little boom
direct impact would kill an enemy but if you land your rockets in the drone near their feet
It was pretty much a coin toss on whether you would kill them or just tickle him a little bit
It was very weak and could be shot down with a couple bullets now granted
It was small and a good pilot would be able to keep it out of harm's way, but it's worth pointing out here
I mean the day it was good
But there was a lot of stuff that was better and we have reached modern warfare
I have to go with white phosphorus now easily the most annoying streak in the game
I get that but I don't understand what the point of it was it costs
I think it's 10 kills 1250 points
If you use point, man
And you call it in plane?
Flies over limits the visibility of both teams dealing damage to enemies who get close to the actual canisters and let me say again
It limits the visibility of both teams
it only damages people that actually walk up to the canisters which no player with average intelligence is going to do so this streak is
Super annoying due to how much it slows down the game and since both teams are affected
Doesn't really help
And I could see the appeal of if it was like the napalm strike in black ops 1 where only enemy team was affected in
Its current state but I don't see the point of this streak at all. Is it a troll streak?
If so, by all means keep it in there because it's funny
Maybe I just don't play modern warfare enough to really get it
But I'm giving the prize of the worst streak in the game because I don't see the point of ever calling it in and there
You have it. Those are my picks
