Getting a killstreak/scorestreak in any Call of Duty brings with it a dopamine rush that makes playing one match after another so addictive, and it's always satisfying when your hard works pays off with a glorious death bringer.

However, while COD can give with one hand, it can take away just as easily with the other. That's because, in order to not skew the balance and allow the best players to simply dominate with unstoppable rewards, other players can often counter these streaks by shooting them out the sky with missiles.

It's not easy, but some players make a sport out of it. As soon as anything is called in - hell, it might just be a UAV - these players will shoot it straight down, giving you killstreak blue balls.
