    Well-known "UAV" killstreak has been featured in Call Of Duty franchise multiple times, and is one of the oldest killstreaks. Basically, in the actual CoD, it would display players on your radar, not depending on whether or not they are shooting. This would update every 3 seconds, until it runs out after 30 seconds.
    In Mc-War, we haven't had such a killstreak before, and it remains unknown whether or not it'll be featured in the 2.0 update. I myself suggest using the following tools:

    -A minecraft default map.
    -A team-affecting dynamic display.
    -Doesn't show animations, only changes every 3 seconds.
    -Would feature a global action text.

    Myortvye has called in the UAV!
    4 killstreak;
    Level 2.

    Every time a team mate gets a kill, player receives a "UAV assist" bonus of 10 experience, that being fairly balanced. It will show up in the kill feed.

    Once UAV has been launched, it will give players a map (31 second-lasting), which will display both teams as red and blue dots. Every 3 seconds, it will update, changing the locations. It would also display the same map as a whole area.
    UAV stops functioning after 30 seconds. Player dying won't affect it.


    What gamemodes will it be featured in?
    Infected (both teams), TDM/CTF (both teams), Gungame (only lasts until the player dies), FFA (only lasts until the player dies), OITC (only lasts until the player dies).

    Why is it balanced?
    First off, your ammo doesn't resupply, streak doesn't often give you enough exp to rank up and lasts only 30 seconds.

    TL;DR
    UAV is a 4 killstreak that replaces ammunition streak. It provides all of the players from the same team with a map that will despawn after 30 seconds. Whenever someone from your team gets a kill, you receive 10 exp.

    An own map item for every map you can play on.. I'd say -1 because it will take way to long time, hindering other updates.

    I would rather have the ammo killstreak than this. I would have no use of it. It's more of a lazy way to get a little boost of xp without getting your own kills.

    You can see enemies and campers on the map. It pays off in infected.

    Minecraft's basic generating system works well, you don't have to make a specific item.

    You know, instead of doing what the actual kilstreak does you can do something simpler like: enemy team players have rockets shooting in the air indicating their position

    Can you please explain it a bit more? What kind of rockets and how do they "shoot in the air"?

    I like the idea, but for those who doesnt have bought scavenger and no 5 ks ammo giver they won't be able to get a nuke in tdm and ctf

    It won't be automatically equipped. You will have to choose the killstreak by yourself using the loadout option.

    This would be very hard to make but it is a good idea in my opinion.

    Okay, but then I think this would be very good, specially for those who bought scavenger, when they don't need the 5 ks ammo giver! Great idea but this radar thing will probably make it a big different between donators and none-donators.

    Except for all those thing I really like that idea, specially for infect as infected/zombie.

    You need ammo much more than this, so it really wouldn't be popular.

    There are enough players with scavenger, they would probably choose this killstreak and then the whole team could see that UAV Map.

    Ammo kill streak is still better in most peoples' opinions, even with Scavenger.

    Not sure this can be done in vanilla Minecraft. I assume the radar would be similar to a minimap, but currently, plugins aren't advanced enough to replicate a functional minimap (without a mod).

    In 1.8 you are able to hide nametags completly, if this is going to be the case for mc-war, the uav would display them every now and then. But because of this the streak should be a lot higher maybe 7-10?
