Forum:Killstreak Idea: Phoenix

The daddy of both the Vulture and the Gryphon, the Phoenix will have you wishing quadrotors never existed.

The Phoenix is a killstreak that needs 16 (15 with Hardline) kills to obtain. The Phoenix will patrol the map, and is armed with two machine guns that, using an advanced targeting program, will always shoot multiple targets if present, but can focus gunfire on a sole enemy. The turrets never overheat.

As well, it is armed with explosive rockets, but will only use them in a distance that does not harm the device itself. These rockets travel in a completely linear trajectory, and it is capable of launching up to 6 at a time. These 6 rockets refill in about 15 seconds.

what makes this killstreak so powerful is its durability. It has 3 sets of flares on it, meaning even 2 shots from a MAAWS will fail to take it down. However, sustained gunfire can take it out (about 50 powerful bullets will do the trick, reduced to 30 if using Armor-Piercing Rounds). As well, this killstreak is capable of operating for 2 minutes.

In order to balance the killstreak, its kills will not work towards the current streak.

What are your thoughts on this? I know it's a powerhouse, but that's why I set a high bar for the kill requirement. Leave your comments below if you think it's too strong or too weak for the amount of kills it needs. PS: Leave comments below the comment bar. I want it to be tidy, 'kay.
