MW2 kill streak

I've been playing COD:MW2 online quite a bit recently. I'm not the best player in the world so my best kill streak had been sitting at eight. Not real great but not the worst I've seen either.

Yesterday I was playing the Domination game online. The point of this game is for your team to capture and hold the three flags on the map. You team earns points based on the number of flags held until one team earns a total of 200 points. I selected my sniper class where I use the Intervention sniper rifle as the primary weapon and a shotgun as the secondary weapon. I started out very slow and died six times in a row. That's when I got going.

My first kill was a long shot that took out a sniper on the other team. I was moving around some wrecked vehicle near one of the flags that my team was holding. I noticed two guys moving towards the flag, since they were still pretty far away I was able to take them out with my sniper rifle. I then called in a UAV which enabled my team to see where on the map the enemy team is located. With the UAV up I saw another enemy moving towards the same flag but he was pretty close so I switched to the shotgun and pumped to rounds into him. Earlier I had set a claymore mine at the flag. And someone set it off pushing my kill streak to five. I was now able to call in a sentry gun. So I ran behind a shed near the edge of the map and waited for the sentry gun to be dropped. Once I recovered the sentry gun I placed it near the flag and then returned to the area behind the wrecked vehicles. The sentry gun killed a couple of people and I was able to snipe one more from behind the cars. Next up I called in a harrier strike. One kill from the bombing run but the hovering harrier made significant progress on my kill streak plus I sniped several men as they tried to shoot down the harrier. As the game ended I had twenty kills and the six deaths that started the game with.

I wonder how many kills I could have strung together if the game didn't finish when it did.
