On the one hand like the majority here I believe killstreaks with some kind of in game boost is absolutely silly. On the other hand we have to all realize that for this niche genre to survive and have more than 2 or 3 sims a decade we (the community of gamers and the devs) have to find ways to compormise to a larger market. It is imperative that we find ways for it to appeal to the more adrenaline junky of players that eat up day one sales.
I don't think killstreaks with silly in game bonuses is the answer, but a couple of weeks ago there was a thread about new game modes that could add some flavor and draw in some new blood. Things like capture the flag, point capture, etc.. There were some really good ideas. I do not believe we should ever see something that gives a player some super plane powers, but we do have to think outside the box and start as a whole considering ways to draw in new players.
Compromises must and should be made and accepted on all fronts. A branch that does not sway in the wind will break.
