Emergency Airdrop

Emergency Airdrop is a kill streak reward in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Requiring 8 consecutive kills, or 7 with the Hardline perk. It is relatively similar to the Care Package in that it deploys random prizes, but unlike Care Package, the drop gives four packages dropped in a line, each of which is usually better than the packages dropped from Care Packages. Its distribution is more random since the plane (which is actually an AC-130H Spectre) overhead doesn't stop to drop the packages. This makes it more risky to use since a falling care package can kill players. It is highly recommended that any player who gets an Emergency Airdrop collects all four packages quickly, because other players, including teammates can take the packages too.

Trivia

 * Like the Care Package, any kills made by kill streaks gained from Emergency Airdrop pick ups do not count towards a player's kill streak, and thus can not gain further killstreaks from them. However, enemy deaths from the crates' drop still count towards the player's kill streak.
 * Because of this, the player should not feel pressured to call in an Emergency Airdrop as soon as they acquire it. The player should attempt to find a safe place to call it in.
 * The C-130 Hercules that drops the packages will always enter the map in the general direction that the player was facing when they called in the Emergency Airdrop.
 * The player should always collect the best rewards from the Emergency Airdrop first, as teammates may flock towards the best package first. Leaving packages that you don't care for that much like the UAV or an Ammo refill, will net you more experience, since when your team-mates pick 'em up, you'll get the Share Package +250 exp bonus.
 * It is possible for the player to get two of the same kill streak reward. For example, two Chopper Gunners. Or in extremely rare cases getting four of the exact same reward.
 * The Emergency Airdrop has a chance of dropping any reward, other than the Nuke, or another Care Package. up to and including the EMP.
 * If you look closely, the plane that drops the packages is actually an AC-130H Spectre, which means it shouldn't really be able to drop cargo.
 * A nickname for the Emergency Airdrop is Santa Claus.
