IMPORTANT NOTE: this video is from the Beta, and hack streaks work differently in the final game. If youre interested in how animus hack streaks work in the final game, check out my follow up video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNxopoP2BJI
I take a look at the 9-kill and 7-kill animus hack streaks. Im not ruling out the possibility that one or both of them might have been glitched for me. Im honestly having trouble figuring out exactly how they work and why anyone would have an incentive to choose them over the 3 silent kill +250 point streak instead.
Feel free to speculate in the comments. Especially if youre playing the beta and have triggered a hack streak yourself.

A wanted match (with commentary) on the relatively new Florence Night map.
My new personal goal is to get the next video out in less than a month, so look for it sometime in June. :P")
