Treyarch's development team has recently confirmed that Black Ops 6 Multiplayer won't have a popular Scorestreaks feature from the studio's last game Black Ops Cold War. Apparently, players won't be able to loop Scorestreaks as opposed to Cold War, which had this option. This major update was shared in an episode of Call of Duty's official podcast.
This article will mention all the details on how Black Ops 2 Multiplayer will handle the Scorestreaks system compared to Black Ops Cold War.
Black Ops 6 Multiplayer won't enable looping Scorestreaks like Black Ops Cold War
During the first episode of the official CoD Podcast COD POD, Treyarch's Associate Director of Design Matt Scronce confirmed Black Ops 6 won't allow looping Scorestreaks in its Multiplayer experience. Instead, the game will revert to the traditional system of resetting the scores upon dying.
"Score will reset on death. Right now Scorestreaks do not loop. That was something we talked about quite a bit. Really the goal there is we want to reward players in a single life fairly, with high-end rewards, or low-end depending on your selection."

Scronce mentioned that the decision was taken to prevent a scorestreak spam from players. With the classic system coming back, BO6 will see scores getting reset after a player dies. Hence, there will be no way to loop Scorestreaks in the upcoming FPS installment.
For those unaware, Scorestreaks are obtained by getting kills in Multiplayer matches. After amassing a certain amount of score, players are able to call in a Scorestreak. In the last game from Treyarch, Black Ops Cold War, one could carry forward the scores even after dying, so it became a popular feature.
