Killstreak picker.
Pick a playlist and see which of the 17 launch Killstreaks suit that objective, grouped by what they actually do.
Team Deathmatch · Domination · Hardpoint · Kill Confirmed · Inflation · Hijack
In objective modes, information and denial usually outscore raw elimination. A streak that tells your team where to look, or removes an option, is worth more than damage you have to aim yourself.

The grouping below is this site's editorial classification of what each streak does in a fight. Activision publishes the names and kill thresholds, not a function rating, so treat the ordering as a starting point to test in the firing range.
Streak thresholds are also subject to balance changes. Confirm the current requirement in the live class menu.
