Killstreaks

3 Kills -- UAV

This deploys a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) that shows the enemies on the radar as dots. The UAV can be shot down by the enemy.

This can be blocked with the Cold-Blooded perk.

4 Kills -- Care Package

After you throw the red signal flare, the Care Package will be airdropped into the battlefield. This can be picked by anyone, even the enemy.

The package contains either a random killstreak or ammo. The killstreak can be anything from the UAV to the EMP, regardless what killstreak rewards you have chosen.

4 Kills -- Counter UAV

This disables the enemy radar for a short period of time, even if they don't have a UAV in the air.

5 Kills -- Sentry Gun

Airdrops a placeable XM312 Sentry Gun that will automatically fire at enemies. It can be destroyed by normal means, or temporarily disabled with Flashbangs and Stun Grenades.

The Sentry Gun has a 90 degree turn on its turret and can pitch up and down. You can move the Sentry Gun around even after you've deployed it, but it won't fire until it's placed. They are most effective when placed in high places.

5 Kills -- Predator Missile

This allows you to remote control a Predator missile. After opening the laptop, you have approximately 5 seconds to control the missile to your target, as it goes down. You can also give the missile a boost to make it go down faster.

You are vulnerable while using the Predator missile, but if you get killed, you can still continue to control it.

6 Kills -- Precision Airstrike

This is much like the Airstrike from Call of Duty 4, but this time you can control the direction of the Airstrike for more accurate kills.

7 Kills -- Strike

Airstrike with a hovering Harrier. After dropping its bombs, the Harrier will guard the area for a short period of time.

7 Kills -- Attack Heli

Deploys a helicopter to the battlefield like in Call of Duty 4. It will circle the map and automatically attack the enemies for a few minutes and leave. It can be destroyed with guns and missiles.

All the enemies that it kills are added to your kill count.

8 Kills -- Emergency Airdrop

Airdrops 4 random killstreaks or ammo. This is the same as the Care Package, but x4.

9 Kills -- Pave Low

This deploys a heavily armored Attack Helicopter (Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low) to the map for maximum carnage. As with the Attack Helicopter, all the kills are added to your kill count.

9 Kills -- Stealth Bomber

Calls in a Stealth Bomber (B-2 Spirit) to carpet bomb the selected area. You can also control the direction, just like with the Precision Airstrike.

The airstrike doesn't show on enemy radar.

11 Kills -- Chopper Gunner

Be the gunner of an attack helicopter. The chopper will fly around the map and you can remotely control the 25mm gun with your laptop.

11 Kills -- AC-130

After the AC-130 Gunship is deployed via laptop, it will enter the map. You control it remotely for 30 seconds and you can use the 25mm, 45mm and 105mm guns to shoot at enemies. You are vulnerable while controlling the AC-130, but if you get killed while using it, you can still continue.

Note: The AC-130 can be shot down by the enemy, but it does have flares as countermeasures.

15 Kills -- EMP

Electromagnetic pulse or EMP for short. Temporarily disables enemy electronics like the Thermal Scope, Red Dot Sight, etc.

The EMP also stops the enemy from using killsreaks and at the same time drops down any helicopters and aircrafts that are in the air.

25 Kills -- Tactical Nuke

Gives you and your team an instant win. The Tactical Nuke ends the match with a bang by killing everyone on the map.

3 deaths - Painkiller: Double health for ten seconds after respawn. (Lv. 6)
4 deaths - Martyrdom: Drop a live grenade when killed. (Lv. 27)
4 deaths - Final Stand: Crawl around on the ground with any weapon before dying; full recovery if no damage is taken for a certain amount of time. (Lv. 39)

guns the map link isnt working on your guide?

Frankie 7 · 22-01-2010, 3:02 PM

Out of interest, Do you guys stop the gun challenges once everything has bveen unlocked, or do you continue once you have hit the 1000 kills with the gun?

Mr H Shingles · 23-01-2010, 2:58 PM

I think I have maxed out the M4 this time round, including the 1000 headshots one, but i still use it as I simply like the gun.

I think If I ever get to prestige 10 then I will try to do all the challenges for all the guns.
