Hardline - Real Percentage and Score Taken Off!

Hi guys!

Mario here with a small update on the Hardline perk!

One of the Black Ops 2 pros on YouTube, Drift0r, recently figured that Hardline does NOT take 20% score off of Scorestreaks. Instead, if you're precise, it takes off 16.7% of score from all Scorestreaks. With this information, I've put together a list of how much score they all require (Note: all the Hardline scores have the decimal numbers knocked off):

UAV - Normal: 425     With Hardline: 354
RC-XD - Normal: 450     With Hardline: 374
Hunter Killer - Normal: 525     With Hardline: 438
Care Package - Normal: 550     With Hardline: 459
Counter-UAV - Normal: 600     With Hardline: 500
Guardian - Normal: 650     With Hardline: 542
Hellstorm Missile - Normal: 700     With Hardline: 584
Lightning Strike - Normal: 750     With Hardline: 625
Sentry Gun - Normal: 800     With Hardline: 667
Death Machine - Normal: 850     With Hardline: 709
War Machine - Normal: 900     With Hardline: 750
Dragonfire - Normal: 975     With Hardline: 813
A.G.R - Normal: 1000     With Hardline: 834
Stealth Chopper - Normal: 1100     With Hardline: 917
Orbital VSAT - Normal: 1200     With Hardline: 1000
Escort Drone - Normal: 1250     With Hardline: 1042
EMP Systems - Normal: 1300     With Hardline: 1083
Warthog - Normal: 1400     With Hardline: 1167
Lodestar - Normal: 1500     With Hardline: 1250
VTOL Warship - Normal: 1600     With Hardline: 1333
K9 Unit - Normal: 1700     With Hardline: 1417
Swarm - Normal: 1900     With Hardline: 1583

I set this out in a rainbow format so that I can tell you how many KILLS (assists not included) you need:

Red means a 4 killstreak with Hardline
Orange means a 5 killstreak (Bloodthirsty medal) with Hardline
Lime Green means a 6 killstreak with Hardline
Dark Green means a 7 killstreak with Hardline
Aqua means an 8 killstreak with Hardline
Pale Blue means a 9 killstreak with Hardline
Blue means a 10 killstreak (Merciless medal) with Hardline
Purple means an 11 killstreak with Hardline
Violet means a 12 killstreak with Hardline
Pink means a 13 kilstreak with Hardline
Light Gray means a 14 killstreak with Hardline
Dark Gray means a 15 killstreak (Ruthless medal) with Hardline
Black means a 16 killstreak with Hardline

Every killstreak gets at least 1-2 kills knocked off, apart from the Swarm, which gets 3 kills knocked off. This is pretty decent, and doesn't make much of a difference to the old scores, but it's a more precise look at the scores!
