Call of Duty: World at War, kill streak rewards revealed

Call of Duty: World at War, kill streak rewards revealed

“Following the release of the complete list of Call of Duty: World at War perks and confirmation that the online multiplayer beta will be exclusive to Xbox 360 and PC, we have one more COD5 announcement for you – details of the new “kill streak” commands.

For those of you unfamiliar with this function (which cropped up in COD4: Modern Warfare) kill streaks are awarded when you reach a specific number of kills without dying, and take the form of a special ability which you can utilize against your opponent. In Call of Duty: World at War, Treyarch will be offering something similar giving players special commands for killing multiple enemies.

Here is the complete list:

Recon Plane (3 Kills):

Kill three enemies without dying and you are given the ability to call in a recon plane to mark enemies temporarily on your radar map. The only enemies that won’t appear are ones using the Reconnaissance perk.

Artillery Strike (5 Kills):

Kill five enemies without dying and you are given the ability to call in an artillery strike. This is very similar to the Airstrike command in COD4, however, instead of a line of bombs going off, the area in which you select for the drop is completely obliterated in a long series of cannon fire.

Unleash the Dogs (7 Kills):

Kill seven enemies without dying and you enable the ability to call in attack dogs, which will sniff out any enemies on the map. Unlike COD4, attack dogs will find you regardless of where you hide, making it exceedingly difficult to avoid them. Furthermore, killing the attack dogs will only save you temporarily as the hounds will respawn if killed until their time/kill limit has expired.”

Fable II WILL have co-op on release according to Molyneux

Fable II WILL have co-op on release according to Molyneux

“Our french gaming site (Game-Focus.com), present at the Festival du Jeu Vidéo (Video Game Festival) in Paris has told us that the Fable II online co-op mode, expected to be delayed after the game’s launch, will be available on launch date despite the early reports from last week.

During a keynote at the event, Lionhead guru Peter Molyneux has denied everything and confirmed (for a second time) that the game will have it’s groundbreaking mode available on Day 1. Who  should we believe? Lionhead or Microsoft? Confusion arises…

The game has already been gold and expected to ship on October 21 in North America and October 24 in Europe.”
