However, there is a way to change your killstreaks into scorestreaks if you desire. Here\u2019s how to do exactly that. Throughout CoD history, there has been regular switching between killstreaks and scorestreaks. Modern Warfare 2 uses killstreaks as default. However, some players prefer to be rewarded simply for racking up kills, while others like to earn points by playing objectives like capturing flags or holding a hardpoint. In Modern Warfare (2019), the game used killstreaks, but players could use the Pointman perk to switch to scorestreaks instead. Modern Warfare 2: how to choose killstreaks or scorestreaks Three years later, in Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward have made it even easier for players to switch. You no longer require a specific perk, instead being able to swap them in the pre-match menu. Here\u2019s what you have to do: Go to the pre-game menu. &#8211; Slide over to the \u2018Weapons\u2019 tab. &#8211; Select \u2018Killstreaks\u2019. &#8211; Press R2 (PlayStation) or RT (Xbox) to switch the bottom-left tab over to Scorestreaks. On PC, you can simply click the button in the bottom-left corner. &#8211; If you want to switch back, you only have to repeat the process. &#8211; Should you use scorestreaks or killstreaks? If you have a genuine preference then you won\u2019t need us to tell you what to pick. However, if you\u2019re struggling, it\u2019ll likely come down to the kind of modes you enjoy and how you play the game. If you\u2019re a player who prefers objective game modes \u2013 like Domination, Hardpoint or Kill Confirmed \u2013 this could be a good switch to make. For example, Modern Warfare 2\u2019s Chopper Gunner is a 10-kill streak reward, but costs 1250 as a scorestreak. If you\u2019re constantly slaying around the objective, getting assists and earning points for the team, you might end up getting your streaks even quicker when they\u2019re determined by score. If you predominantly play modes where kills are easier to accumulate than points \u2013 like Team Deathmatch or Free For All \u2013 it\u2019s probably better to stick with the default killstreaks. If you\u2019re unsure, try both out for a few matches and see which reaps you more rewards. You can always follow the instructions above and switch your settings back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to switch scorestreaks and killstreaks in Modern Warfare 2 ActivisionModern Warfare 2 dropped with killstreaks as default in multiplayer.
