I'm going to assume "u" = "you"

unless you mean, "U2", in which case, they are a fantastic band, and the sentence makes no sense.


Otherwise:

Streek (Verb): To stretch out or prepare (a corpse) for burial.

In this regard, it would be safe to assume that a "kill streek" would involve you climbing out of your mech after a kill, pulling the enemy pilot's carcass out of his machine, and then proceeding to pull his limbs apart medieval-torture style.

I'm going to have to say no.

GAAAHAHAHAHAHA OH GOSH XD

...I'm saying no because I assume you mean some kind of bonus for a kill streak. I mean it already lets you know you're on a kill streak.

I said YES because preparing corpses for burial might be an interesting mini-game for Hawken. But only if the soundtrack is supplied by Rob Zombie.

Actually this would be pretty cool.

No. You get bonus xp and that is all you should get. I stopped playing those games because of this stupid mechanic. It ruins gameplay and new pilots get stomped enough as it is without some pubstomper joining the game and sending air raids and ships with gattling guns after them as well.

Oh those kill streak bonuses. Why would anyone want those? Turning this game into CoD won't help one bit.

Go home pilot, you're drunk!

From the lore standpoint...
We're already in war machines, resources on Illal are already limited, and the corporations, Prosk and Sentium won't allocate the pilots with more resources than necessary.  We've got our teammates, and no more support than that.

From a gameplay standpoint...
This will wreck the game for new players when skilled players start abusing air support.  No Camp of Duty please!

CoD rewards better players by giving them easier ways to kill more people.. this idea has always confused the utter poopoo out of me.

It's basically the same as giving people large vertical jumps in power when it comes to having a progression system
CoD just does it faster, and makes it temporary
Also with the way CoD is structured for pubs, you'd have to be pretty awful to never get a killstreak

I love how he insists on spelling it "streek" multiple times.

I very much understand why they do it. I just don't see the point other than it is "cool". If the person can go 15-0 why give him an ability to give him another 5-10 kills with no effort. I used to play it and enjoy it, until I realized I only played the game to exploit it and be a general pain (I was thinking of a less pc wording for this) to other people. Now this doesn't mean I think anyone who plays CoD are bad people, but the game truly attempts to pull the worst out of people.

I think getting your pilot to climb out of your mech would be time consuming, and could leave you exposed.
I think you should be able to pick up and wear the remains of the mech you just killed, by placing it over your head!

I'll see you on the battlefield. You won't see me.

I want my repair drone to attach the enemy mech's armor over mine as a kind of ablative shield.

Just delete this poll.  This is not call of duty. If anything it has the basics of a solid FPS. It should be fixing and expanding in other ways. Maybe torwards the battlefield series of style game play. Larger Maps and more people.
