With the Call of Duty: World At War Beta not too far off, tidbits of info relating to the most secret portion of the new DoD entrant from Treyarch are beginning to trickle down the internet's slippery slope. In this case it's details about kill streak rewards during skirmishes.

In the ever-popular CoD4, three different types of kill streak netted you an on-field reward. Three kills a UAV (to see enemies on your map), five kills an airstrike and seven kills a support chopper that usually cleans the field up pretty good.

According to reports, Treyarch have adopted a very similar system, where three kills will launch a recon plane (again, displaying enemy positions on your map), five kills will call in an artillery
strike, but it's the seventh one that has us all excited as you'll be able to "Release The Dogs" where a number of attack dogs will enter the playing field and will sniff out and kill the opposing side for a period of time.

Whether or not you'll be able to fend off the dogs is not yet known at this stage (though if you can shoot down a chopper in Modern Warfare, it makes sense that you would be able to kill the dogs). We'll be keeping our ears to the grindstone for anymore multiplayer info from Call of Duty: World At War, so stay tuned.

having never played cod4 online, how often do people get the chopper?? i could imagine endless dogs getting old pretty quickly if it isn't too hard.

On Search & Destroy 16 player you very very rarely see a chopper. Maybe once every 30-40hrs of gaming time.

24 player HQ you see them often, but they're not too bad. As long as your team isn't retarded, they're not a threat.

In a good TDM game there will always be a chopper in the skies.

So constant dogs might be an issue. If you can kill them... not so much.
