This guide will help XPlain what each deathstreak is for, and how to best use them in a multiplayer match in Modern Warfare 2.
Copycat
3 deaths
Steal your killer's class in killcam.
Copycat is a perk which is unlocked at level 4, Private First Class. This perk allows players to copy the enemy's class, this is useful for newer players i would say ranking between 1-15 as they won't have any attachments, higher level guns and equipment. To deploy copycat you will need to press Y (On Xbox) when watching the Killcam and then when you spawn you will have your "Killers" class. If you kill the enemy, who's class you copied you will receive a title and emblem.
Strategy:
Copy-cat is the first of all the deathstreaks you unlock, it allows you to steal the enemies class which has just killed you, it's most beneficial to new players as it gives them a chance to try out weapon they will unlock at the higher levels. It works well on small maps when you are getting spawned camped so you can try out a new class and get out of this sticky situation
Painkiller
4 deaths
Big health boost when you spawn.
Painkiller is a death streak unlocked at level 6, it gives you a health boost for 10 seconds after you respawn, you will have to die 3 times in a row to receive this deathstreak. This deathstreak has replace "Juggernaut" from Call of Duty 4, in effect it's the same however it only last's 10 seconds. How can tell if a players is using "Painkiller" as when you shoot them a small pill will appear just below your cross-hairs so you know more bullets will be needed to take down this target. Painkiller makes most weapons less powerful and it will require more rounds to kill the target, however this doesn't affect Shotguns as it's still 1 shot kill.
Strategy:
Painkiller is the most annoying of all the 4 deathstreaks it will give the player a 10 second health boost when they spawn, this is most annoying when you are sniping as it will take around 3 or so bullets to take them down. This is most useful on small maps such as: Rust,Scrapyard and Quarry this is because some spawns will over-lap each other making 10 second health boost a must.
Martyrdom
4 deaths
Drop a live grenade just after dying.
Martyrdom is a death perk unlocked at level 27, this perk is unlocked after dying 4 times in a row. The players once killed will drop a live Frag grenade. This deathstreak is useful in Headquarters or in Domination where several players will all be in one location. Most players will once they here the "clunk" of the grenade hitting the floor however it is possible to throw it and in some cases get multiple kills.
Strategy:
This deathstreak is most affective on the small maps such as: Rust, Scrapyard and Karachi and also objective based game-modes, as there will be a lot of enemies gathered in one place, so this makes martyrdom a must on these sorts of maps, it also despatches spawn camping enemies of people watching your tactical insertion.
Final Stand
4 deaths
Get back up after being wounded.
Final Stand is the final deathstreak you will unlock at level 39. Once shot you will be drop into "Last Stand" stance. Big difference with the perk "Last Stand" is your health (50 instead of 3) and the ability to get back up after you have been shot. Plus, you will have your primary weapon equipped instead of your secondary. If you crawl to safety and stay out of the fire-fight for a long enough period of time they will stand up again and your free to start fighting again, so it won't count as a death. However Final Stand won't activate if your shot in the head. This is the most useful deathstreak due to the fact you can regain health and continue to fight.
Strategy:
Final stand is possibly the most useful of the deathstreaks, it's very useful if you have racked up a large killstreaks after you were on a 4 deathstreak, it will allow the player to get back up after getting "downed" and they can continue to gain on there killstreak. It's most efficient of large maps when you are hit by a sniper as they will lose sight of you when you go down.
