Is there any way to change the order in which your killstreak rewards are used when you have accumulated more than one?  I’m constantly finding myself in situations where the deployment order of my killstreak rewards is less than optimal.  

For example, say I’ve earned a Sentry Gun and then a Precision Airstrike.  I may be in a low-traffic area where deploying the Sentry Gun would make little sense, but it’s safe to open up the magic laptop and call in the Precision Airstrike.  Is there any way I can call in the Airstrike first without placing the Sentry Gun?  

Another situation:  I pick up a UAV and Precision Airstrike.  I call in the UAV and am killed shortly thereafter.  I then respawn and quickly get 3 kills, earning another UAV.  Now my first UAV is still active I want to use my Airstrike.  Is there any way I can use my Airstrike before using my second UAV?  

I doubt it matters, but I'm playing on PC.

thats the opposite way my killstreaks work on my 360

if I earn a 3,4,5 I must use them in the following order, 5,4,3

Yeah. I'm on Xbox also and I always have to use the highest one first.

If you have earned a killstreak and then earn a second before you use the first killstreak then you have to use the second before the first.  every time you get a new kill streak and it adds to the beginning of the cue.

Agreed.  You generally wanna throw up your UAV before you use your precision airstrike, etc.  






No, though.  They stack, and the newest is on top.  I think you should be able to use, say, up and down on the d-pad to scroll through an inventory of rewards.

That'd be friggen nice!!!  You should be able to hit one of the D buttons and chose... I'm tired of waiting to use a bombing run only b/c nobody else on my team has a UAV.  Someone should suggest that to whoever made the game!

Shows the location of all enemies not using cold-blooded on your mini-map.

Doesn't your mini-map show those (not speaking of enemy locations, obviously) even when you don't have a UAV up?  I guess I never paid attention to if I (or my team) had one up, and I saw all of the above on my mini-map.

Shows the care packages, still.  Enemies also show up still when they shoot without a suppressor.  When you see your buddies going into a fucked up area, just crouch in the corner and press start.  When the enemy takes them out, you'll see exactly where they were.  Go in, and clean up!


 






Yeah, as said above, UAV only really helps in hardcore.  In core, you see most of it anyway.  That's why hardcore is harder.
