3 kill streak = you can launch a UVA that allows you to see the enemy on the radar for 30 seconds.
5 kill streak = you can call in an air strike
7 kill streak = you can call in a helicopter strike

I had one match where for some reason I was just kicking ass. The rest of the matches I was in my normal "please kill in the most embarrasing fashion posiible" mode. I'm not doing a good job of reading the HUD for situational awareness.

I will be on tonight rarin to go for some CoD4.
I'm going to cut and past a post of mine on another forum that has my impressions so far of the beta. (the one night i spent playing like 3-4 matches).
So far i both love and hate the game. The shotgun seems as overpowered as the trench gun did in CoD2.
I find it really hard to make out enemies from the background. Perhaps i will get used to it, but the city setting kind of gets blah. Now the beta only has 2 or 3 maps so hopefully the full game has more variety in setting. I'm missing the maps from CoD2.
Upgrading weapons to get a red dot scope is very nice. It will however make the game have a barrier to entry. Imagine picking it up 6 months after it is out and you are running around with an AK while everyone else has an machine with a laser scope and barrel mounted grenade launcher.
The perks are awesome. Having a perk that gives you a two shot rocket launcher every spawn is both hilarious and a sweet ride.
Leveling up matters. Unlocking new jobs and such is almost as addictive as achievements. I found myself wanting to play more because every game i ended up just a little away from unlocking something. Looking through the options some things don't unlock till like level 54 so this is something i can see play for a long time.
The game is still very run and gun. In the beta at least i have seen no emphasis on vehicles which is an improvement over CoD3 imo.
One big complaint though is the streak powerups. They suck, they reward a team that is already winning and leads to dramatically one sided games. The helicopter in particular is cheap as can be. Luckily, i discovered if you have the rocket launcher perk and decent aim, you can shoot the chopper out of the sky. Pretty cool effect though as it spirals out of control. You don't get any bonuses for doing it though. However, i would bet there will be an achievement linked to that activity.
So far i am level 5 and have unlocked something new every level. 2 new classes, the ability to create a class, and challenges. Hopefully tonight i can finish up some of my challenges

Does the sniper start out with the cool ghillie suit? I recently unlocked the sniper class and hadn't tried it yet.

The sniper does start with the guille suit. But only in the OverGrown level (in the beta). I mean, it would be easy to kill someone running around looking like a plant in the Crash or Vacant levels

Well i assumed in the urban levels they would have a modified ghillie for a concrete color scheme.Although the way i played last night... i might not have been able to kill a man-plant.
