Scorestreaks allow you to call in power support, ranging from simple UAV reconnaissance to highly destructive gunships and heavily armored robots. You can select up to three Scorestreaks and they won't reduce points from your class build, since they are separated from the Pick 10 system. Earning points in combat rewards you with your selected Scorestreaks.
You earn streak points by taking out other players, but it isn't the only way to earn them. Taking out enemy Killstreaks and completing objectives in different games modes also score you points. In Capture the Flag, for example, you're better rewarded for capturing the enemy flag than engaging enemies.
Your points are reset upon death. You can accelerate your earned score with Seraph's (Specialist) Combat Focus ability.
