Modern Warfare 3's New Strike Packages and Pointstreaks
Before I get into the meat of what Strike Packages mean for Modern Warfare 3, say goodbye to the killstreak. And say hello to pointstreaks, all 28 of them. No longer will player kills be the only way to build up streaks. Sure, kills still count, but in MW3, completing objectives in gametypes like Capture the Flag and Seek and Destroy will reward players with points they can cash in to call in recon drones, attack helicopters, sentries and other power-ups. Kill assists count toward pointstreak numbers too, letting supporting players, not just the dominant virtual marksman have all the fun.

Full sizeInfinity Ward's Robert Bowling explained the change at Call of Duty XP, saying "the killstreak system was optimized for one game type: Team Deathmatch." Now, players will be rewarded more handsomely for actually completing each gametype's objectives.

Modern Warfare 3's pointstreaks come in three groups, dubbed Strike Packages. Players can customize their classes with one of three Strike Packages, adding a new layer of personalization to COD multiplayer. The three types are Assault, Support and Specialist. Each has its own list of 'streaks. Here they are.

If you like "big body counts, the Assault package is for you. With Assault, you can call in UAVs and care package drops, naturally, but this is also where the big guns live: assault helicopters, AC130, Predator missiles, mortar strikes, Juggernaut suits. Assault brings the pain. Your streak count will reset every time you die, if you go for the Assault Strike Package.

Support is about "helping the team win," not just stacking your body count. Sounds nice, doesn't it? For the less aggressive team player, Support deals in 'streaks that lean more defensive. This includes the option to drop a remote gun turret, call in a hacked airdrop, deploy ballistic vests to your team, drop an EMP or, ultimately, call in an Osprey gunship that also delivers five airdrop packages (one of them hacked). With Support, your streak count will not reset upon death.

Finally, Specialist is all about perks. Become a super soldier with Specialist, which lets players stack on additional perks. You'll get up to six perks—including Sleight of Hand, Hardline, Recon, et al—as the 'streaks pile up. After your eighth kill, however, you get every perk available to you. You become a monster.

Here are a few of the new perks coming in Modern Warfare 3.

Recon – Explosive damage paints the target on the mini map
Blind Eye – Undetectable by air support/sentries
Assassin – Undetectable by UAV, portable radar, thermal, heartbeat
Quickdraw – Faster aim down sight
Stalker – Move faster while aiming
Marksman – Identify targets at longer range
Some perks you wont see return in MW3. "No One Man Army, no Nuke, no Commando and no Last Stand," Infinity Ward promises.

With thanks to Jaunty, Dietary, plus everyone else for the old OP. Alas, due to new forum post limit constraints, I've had to chop it all off. We needed a new OP anyways! Old one's linked below.


Old Thread with MW2 info and stuff

Burtletoy

Hey Scat! Where's my blackbird?

0Replace4Displace

No, where's MY Blackbird?

Tridus1x

So I played like 5 TDM games and all they all ended by time limit. Reminded me of HC MW2 it was such a chore. Funny how that works, BLOPS = TDM broken MW2= Dom broken.

Anyways, my KDR is cooler than yours!

Karrde1842

I think you BOTH owe us some Blackbirds

Mulletude

So uh...What up thread. Me and the Enfield have a thing lately.

I knew it was laying around with other men.

Unfaithful, but so reliable.

The Enfield? That thing fires hugs and understanding, rather than bullets.

Mulletude

My dear enfield has headshotted it's fair share of tiger camo toting tools.

PaperLuigi44

Thank you kindly, Scat, I wasn't really in the OP making mood at the time.

It is pretty hard to hit the New Thread button right after clicking the Quote button.

What do they thing my button clicking finger is made of?!?

PaperLuigi44

Because the other Call of Duty thread has been ignored by the mods I didn't know what was going to happen.

Or I overthought things, whatever.

Burtletoy

paper.

and maybe luigies, too.

MrVyngaard

Alright, enough of this layabout futzing around.

Blops or MW2, getting my kill mans on once again.

Mulletude

I'll kill mans with you in a bit in BLOPS if you like having a mediocre dude who uses an enfield around.

You always know what to say.

Jerkbot

Ooh, Codblops free weekend on PC.
I've got it on 360, but i suppose i might as well see how much better it is on PC.
Or, you know, it might be cripplingly unplayable, but it's worth a shot.

joshgotro

We're playing MW2 right?

i might for a bit after the hockey game.

or i might just go home jackoff and go to sleep.

you know

MrVyngaard

One of the more interesting features of Blops is where your bullets at times mysteriously are replaced with the laughter of small children and soft fluffy dandelions, and this persists regardless of weapon - even explosives at times.

Truly, remarkable.

Domhnall

Man, it's half three in the morning but I want to play with you guys. Been playing FF 13 and LA Noire for the past while now.

iRevert

Run to B cap it, see OMA kid round corner and lob tube, suicide with C4 before tube can hit.

Instant OMA nullification!

Mulletude

Even playin with PA dudes who carry me, I still can barely break a 1/1 k/d...And more likely i'm way below that. They call me meatbag. It's like I can't see the whole picture and just get tunnel vision or something.

1) Learn spawn positions and when/WHY spawns change

2) Radar is best weapon in game, even if you can only see friendlies, instead of any enemies.

Once you understand the maps you can figure out where the enemy is based simply off the spots your teammates aren't. Most maps have 2 primary spawn spots, and a few secondary ones. If the primaries are being watched, then expect the primaries to switch. The spot you start a game at is one of the two primary spawns.

Spawn trapping is super easy. Just don't ADS at a spawn spot and guys will appear anywhere that a player isn't currently looking.

Watch some Sandy Ravage videos. He shows you how to play the enemy spawn game.

He will turn his back on a 5ft^2 room then turn back three seconds later once 3 guys spawn in that room. It really is that easy once you know whats up.

dinoarus

example:

its super easy to predict spawns on radiation

Mulletude

Now I just feel overwhelmed. I spent a lot of my time tonight just following around PA guys trying to watch how they do things. I know the two start points for most maps but the alternate spawns are definitely beyond me. I got yelled at for running into the enemy spawn on nuketown because that flips it, which I didn't know. I'm so used to going solo with pubs who don't talk I never knew this stuff.

jonny439

so should I use the credit from trading in Brink for MW2 or just let it cool till the fall releases?

Burtletoy

I'll miss you jonny!

(But you'd probably be just as good off letting it wait...)

I always run into the spawns on nuketown. It is more fun that way. Plus the spawns often don't switch instantly, so you get a bunch of free kills.

Spawn trapping is boring. Going balls to the wall and invading spawns, then switching and invading again is more fun.

Except on dom or demolition. Then I would totally spawn trap.

Burtletoy

Depends on the map, but I agree with Jebus.

Small maps (and jungle) are more fun when you swap the spawns often. Like summit. Those spawns should flip every 2seconds, or else your (read: our PA) team is doing something wrong.

But other maps, like for example, Havana?

Fuck Havana. It is a terrible map. Spawn camp the shit out of those fuckers on A. They deserve it for not voting against playing fucking Havana.

SLyM

Is the double exp weekend mentioned in the OP the weekend that just passed or the one coming up?

I still play this game sometimes. And MW2 sometimes. On the PSN all the times.

If it's too overwhelming just use the quick fix I use. I don't remember specific spawns, I just ask: is anyone on my team almost at the other side of the map (bonus question: are they advancing)? Then start covering your back.

Anything more is nerdy. I'm a dudebro with a sweet KDR, I don't got time for no nerd crap.

Cobalt60

My favourite thing to do when the server switches to HQ on Nuketown is to run to the opposite spawn to where the HQ is currently being destroyed and sit in a corner. The second the HQ is gone the whole opposition team will spawn and I can merily Spas them in the back as they charge towards the centre.

PaperLuigi44

Guys, I think I'm at peace.

Assuming I don't hibernate until 12pm, I think I may play MW2 in the morning.

I never thought I'd say that again.

You could wait, sure.

But the fall releases have a nice long summer between them.

A summer you could be killing mans with us in MW2.

A game where I can shoot mans and they actually die of it, no less.

I re-bought MW2 and hopped on for the first time last night. Died left and right to grenade spam (surprise!). At one point I was like, "Do I even have Flackjacket equipped? Oh wait..."

Next time I'm on I'll look for PA to play with.

Musicool

Dudebros love their Hong Kong pop.

MrVyngaard

Hopping on now for some MW2.

Mr Obersmith

So glad people are hopping back into MW2. I don't feel like dropping the cash to pick up the blops maps.
