Whats do you guys think about killstreaks? I think it would be awesome to have a saber fly over as a stealth bomber, or have the unsc frigates fire down a mac cannon, or something like equipment (halo 3) like landmines tactical insertions* etc.
Tell me what you think.

WTF i meant “LongSword” not saber
With a few tweaks I could see it working. It would add some spice to the stale Halo formula.
are not needed
No.
I won’t comment on the Longsword flyovers (mostly because I haven’t thought about it long enough to form an opinion), but a strike from a MAC Cannon would (if portrayed correctly) wipe out the entire battlefield and all surrounding districts. I don’t see that as being good for gameplay.

Gameplay > cannon. Think how much fun calling in a MAC round would be.

It would be like a nuke on COD MW, just kills the other team.
Never have I found any purpose for kill streaks to be in any game. They promote selfish, slow gameplay as you don’t want to die to get that kill streaks. With kill streaks, you’re giving good players something they don’t need, handicaps. Obviously when a player has already achieved enough kills without dying, they don’t need a bunch of free kills. Kill streaks simply have no rational purpose in any game that includes them.
I think that it could work.
Load-out/Classes each set with specific kill streaks.
Also i think tacs would be very helpful, especially when i find that one spot that took me 10 minutes to get to. Although they could get annoying, especially sense halo sniping is OP if uk wat i mean ( no recoil)

Add recoil to the sniper then?
@tsassi
Deaths could add to your killstreaks then. That way nobody cares about dying. Sure, they don’t really have a purpose, but they’re fun! Video games aren’t srs bz, you gotta remember that.

Whatever a tac is, from your description it doesn’t sound like a very good piece of equipment. Assuming it’s some type of mobile spawn, there is no purpose for it.
To be honest, you seem like a person who wants features from CoD implemented to Halo 4. But there is a reason they won’t, there are many features in that game that render it rather unplayable for any player who thinks that easy games aren’t very fun.

To be honest, I wouldn’t have expected that from you. Unless of course you’re being sarcastic, in which case you would’ve fooled me really well.
Anyhow, in case you’re serious. Adding deaths doesn’t really help either, it only solves the other problem. There is still the problem that a good player doesn’t need, nor do they deserve to be handicapped.
I have never necessarily hated idea, but just don’t know how it would be used correctly for a game like Halo. I say for now we take everything good from all the games, add new things, but make it feel like Halo. Unless 343i finds a way to add killstreaks without making them too over powered, then I’d prefer not having them. I mean it works for CoD, but in Halo we already have other ways of turning the tides of battle, if used correctly (vehicles, power weapons, locations on map, etc.).

I don’t enjoy killstreaks. They’re just boring. If you’re winning, you get to win a little easier YAY! Seriously, I don’t want them coming into Halo. One of the reasons I play Halo is because it doesn’t have those things. I have nothing against COD, it’s just not my type of game. I don’t like ADS, Killstreaks or Loadouts. I like Halo as Halo.
every game has stupid kill streaks now… i wouldnt even buy halo EVER EVER if they included this terrible idea

Of course I’m serious. If they’re good they wouldn’t be handicapped. Simple as that really. Besides, killstreaks help end the game quicker. No one likes getting slaughtered the whole game by a superior team and a superior team doesn’t enjoy slaughtering them. Such scenarios often cause rage-quitting; killstreaks, on top of being insanely fun, help people to not rage-quit because the game ends sooner. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.

If every game’s including it you must think, “why?” Because it’s a good feature that works, just like sprint. It’s the evolution of the FPS genre.
I wouldn’t want kill streaks in Halo, yeah they’re a nice idea, but I feel that they take away from the game. I much rather have just the plain old killing spree medals, they’re more than enough.
No need for this.
