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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
