"Survivability" is how you can get a spree in any case, though I admit that rewarding better player with better weapons does serve to further unbalance the game. Without killstreaks, though, I have no means of getting certain new weapons into the game.

Well no, you can contribute through thaws and just dishing out damage without killing, but yeah, beating around the bush!

I too cannot think of a way to implement them as rewards. If they are pretty decent, then maybe award them to the weaker team/players rather than the stronger ones.

Not sure if putting ceratin new weapons is worthy the fact that it will futher imbalance the game.

Anyway if they would be in, then I'd rather award them for thawing frozen teammates.

That will just encourage people to farm thaws.

Oh god, people farming thaws in freon

God help us if people start farming kills in deathmatch

Did you concider using the given max-accuracy/max-damage/max-melee-damage info, azarael?
Instead of killstreaks (kill-stealing np) I would recommend setting a baseline of how much damage a person has to have served in total to receive the weapons. This way people also won't rage when they die after the 12th kill. Just an idea, though. Thought you might include this in your brainstorming.

Accuracy is unreliable across the weapons.

Max damage... eh. Could be.

How about making a random player on each team a priority target, and if you kill that guy you get sum cool shit.

That'll make players rage when they get selected as a priority target.
