Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Multi-Player: No Kill Streaks

Treyarch is showing off multi-player Black Ops 2 at gamescome in Cologne. The game has apparently gone all 'political correctness gone mad' with the nastily reminiscent of actual war Kill Streaks being renamed to the more sporty and less killy, Score Streaks.

Don't be too worried though, there is still killing despite the weasel words. According to Eurogamer, "In the game, killing enemy players and performing 'Scoring Events' gains you points that fill up the 'Score Streak Meter', displayed on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen next to the score streak icons. When the meter fills up, you gain access to a score streak, which you can activate in the traditional way (using the d-pad on the Xbox controller). Currently, there are 22 score streaks in the game."

The game comes "55 levels of progression and 10 levels of prestige. According to design director David Vonderhaar, "We wanted to return some simplicity into the level system."

"Most players can get through 55 levels in about 24 hours - a couple of nights of playing for a hardcore guy."

The list of Score Streaks is:
RC-XD
UAV
Hunter Killer
Care Package
Counter UAV
Guardian
Hellstorm Missile
Lightning Strike
Death Machine
Sentry Gun
War Machine
Dragonfire
AGR
Stealth Chopper
