I know when I hear the double kill, triple kill, killtacular when playing halo, pumps the **** out of me! I go on beast mode.

Adding a feature like that makes the game feel like KDR is what counts and it's not.
I'm all for getting players all worked up and getting "the beast out of them" but it shouldn't be based on kills.
How about WP or objective based enthusiasm?

I prefer the current squad bonuses. Killstreak bonuses would take away from the objective in Skirmish and may discourage team play or team angst due to kill steals. If a killstreak bonus was implemented though, I would hope it would only be used in Ambush mode. On the plus side, a killstreak bonus would also help Ambush equalize with Skirmish as I have always gotten alot less points in Ambush compared to Skirmish.
In any case, we already have a killstreak bonus; the orbital strike.

I noticed this while playing the other day, what I think is really missing from this game, are kill streaks, and things like double, triple, quadruple kills etc etc. I mainly played Halo as my FPS of choice, so I'm not sure if other FPS games do this, but I for one think it would be nice to get some kind of visual or verbal queue for when you're housing the crap out of your opponent.

Anyone else agree, or is this too trivial?

Right? It's such a minor thing, but it pumps you up, really helps to keep the adrenaline going. I also like to know when I've passed 5-10-15 kills etc, cuz I do it all the time and only really notice at the very end of the game >_<

There is an actual feedback for kills in row. The sound of the kill "wham" varies when you are having them in a row, like in an orbital strike.

This is true, though it's so minor I hardly even notice (I have noticed though). As for the comment about MCC shields and clones and stuff, that is an indicator that my TEAM is doing good, not that I am doing good.

There is NO I in TEAM

There's no WE either, or US, or even THEM, for that matter.

If you jumble it around a bit you can find a ME though

No US in team? But I've had a blast playing with US people!

I love hearing the term "Double Kill" or "Overkill" as I pump lead onto my opponent's faces.

EDIT: Just a clarification, I'm not talking about giving bonuses for kill streaks or anything like that. Just a good old fashion verbal or visual queue letting you know that you're hulking out ;)

How about what MAG did?

There weren't kill streaks, but there was a small "bonus" when you earned enough points. The points could come in any form. Capping objectives, killing, reviving, etc.

In MAG, if you earned enough consecutive points w/o dying, the background music would get louder for a short while. Giving you a little "mental boost/adrenaline rush"

Same thing could be done in Dust. Say maybe 500pts?

This is an FPS so kills and deaths DO matter. Yes I understand that this isn't a typical FPS and its connected with "The Almighty EVE Universe" but its still an FPS. Teamwork is important but don't tell me when you see a well known elite killer on your team as opposed to the enemy side that you're not a little happy. If KDR doesn't matter then we should just take away guns and weapons and deaths and just run around capping objectives. For those that aren't elite killers there are other roles available, but get real this is still somewhat an FPS so KDR has at least a little relevant.
