Call of Duty: Finding the Fun in Team Deathmatch
When Call of Duty Set Out to Outdo Counter-Strike, Killstreaks Turned the Tide
Call of Duty tried to outdo Counter-Strike but Killstreaks changed everything.
In the early days of Call of Duty, the developers at Activision were on a mission to outdo their rival, Counter-Strike. They wanted to create something bigger and better, but they soon realized that they were heading in the wrong direction. So they took a step back and asked themselves, “What do our players really want?”
According to desGameTopicer Mackey McCandlish, who worked on the early Call of Duty games, the team decided to focus on making the best possible version of Team Deathmatch. They wanted to create an experience that would make players say, “Wow, this is exactly what I want to play!”
But how would they make Team Deathmatch more exciting? Well, they decided to add a little something called killstreaks. Picture this: you’re on a roll, taking down enemies left and right. And with every few consecutive kills, you unlock a killstreak reward. It’s like a little gift for staying alive and dominating the battlefield.
Now, imagine you’re in the middle of a match, and suddenly you have a new objective. You want to get that killstreak reward, so you start playing strategically. You want to stay alive, avoid unnecessary risks, and focus on taking out your opponents. It adds a whole new level of excitement and strategic gameplay to Team Deathmatch.
Killstreaks have become a cornerstone of the Call of Duty series. They not only reward skilled players but also encourage everyone to step up their game and strive for more powerful rewards. It’s like a delicious carrot dangling in front of you, tempting you to keep going and stay alive.

In the upcoming game, Modern Warfare III, one of the new killstreak rewards is the Guardian-SC. This little beauty emits a non-lethal beam that acts like a stun grenade, slowing down movement and blurring vision for anyone caught in its path. Imagine how useful that could be when you’re trying to defend a specific location in modes like Domination.
So, if you’re a fan of Call of Duty, get ready for Modern Warfare III. It’s launching on November 10, but if you pre-order, you’ll get early access to the campaign mode starting on November 2. Don’t miss out on all the action!
