MW3 New Killstreak system revealed.............

Killstreaks are no longer killstreaks.

In the new co-op video that was revealed, it shows that killstreaks are PURCHASED in-game with XP you get from kills/flag captures. very similar to how they work in HOMEFRONT.

Good or bad change? What do you guys think?

Good change. Up until now there was nothing strategic about killstreaks. They were as cool as they were an annoyance.

Still, I won't financially support such a messed up company.

Yeah but now anybody can get a Chopper Gunner by running around capping flags in Domination. I think the killstreaks will lose that Addictive feeling they had before. drakekratos

Wont change anything. A player going on a rampage and doing a few objectives will still rape faces with a missle strike or helicopter reward

People still play this game? wow.

I can sense this will get abused.

Lots of people still play Call of Duty. Where have you been?

Where is the reveal? Kind of a misleading title dont you think?

Anyway it is better that should thin down those corner campers that just camp for their killstreaks...

I thought it died down. Most of my MW2 addicted friends are over it. I figured there was still a community going, but it isn't still on the level it was, is it?

best move i've heard yet, might stem the camping for big streaks a little.Adds a strategic element aswell that its a tradeoff between ranking up and getting a better gun or the killstreak ;P

Any idea if the currency system is back, really hope they keep wager matches those are pretty awesome for a little change up.But only thing is get better animations and drop the goddamn P2P code they use its horrid :(

Except in Homefront you bought things that were beneficial to the team and your own survival. When you get a killstreak in Homefront...that's it. You don't get some reward that makes you overpowered or anything. Battlecommander points out the general area where the person might be who has racked up some killstreaks and offers a ton of XP for those who kill him. You also only got 3-4 buyable items, such as rocket launcher, flak jacket, and a vehicle.

I can see this being very abused, and since no one said it so yet....LOL DUMBED DOWN TO LET EVERYONE USE IT NOW.

Black ops is the most popular online game in the world right now. Same for Modern Warfare 2 most likely.

Uh, no. WoW still has more activity and so do other PC MMOs.

I dont play CoD because I am more of a Battlefield kind of guy, but I can EASILY see why this is one of the most popular games of all time, it just made extremely well.

Second of all not all of the money streaks in homefront helped the team and only helped you, you know kind of like the sr 71.

And as for your other post, you seriously are bringing world of warcraft as an argument? Well I guess since no multiplayer shooter is more popular I guess you have to..:roll:

We must have played a completely different game then. Homefronts killstreaks or whatever are the most OP support items I have ever seen in a game.

Most OP thing in Homefront are snipers, those stupid planes, and knife + knife and sprint perks.

Watch one of the MW3 multiplayer trailer analysis video's, you will see that it is called a pointstreak system and Juggernaut is a pointstreak :P

Those three things alone made Homefront terrible. The snipers being the worst thing in that game.

If this is in fact the new way to earn killstreaks, I am a fan. I have always had an issue with the way people would camp in order to get a Chopper Gunner or Nuke.

We must of see a different video.... All I saw at the end of it was him getting the juggernaut killstreak at 14 kills :? well it did say 14 point, so you may have a point. I kinda like that. Still I dont get it it said 14 point steak. What ever it is the game looks very interesting to me, I just hope they dont gimp the PC version this time.

This newsystem looks interesting, but it may be abused by the community.

Who's to say that the new system isn't solely for Spec Ops? We may still be seeing the more conventional Killstreak system in regular multiplayer. Of course, I could be wrong. I hope so. This new system looks a whole lot more interesting.

good change IMO...now people won't sit around and camp around the flag for kills and actually go for the the flag to get points...and i'm going to assume capturing the flag SHOULD be way more XP than a kill

This is great if true. I think they are called Point Streaks now. Considering you get points for killing, objectives, and other gameplay things, this is awonderful idea. It's hard to dislike it IMO. Better than Killstreaks.

I wish they would introduce the dogtag killstreak system, so it would encourage people to camp less. So the blind would actually complain less and maybe actually enjoy cod :P And for the actuall killstreak I would like them to actually help your teammates, like in blackops with SR-71 and counter UAV.

That trailer only showed the co-op mode so of course they would need to rework the system.lawlessx

Yeah I really like the idea now that someone mention it would be for the objective base game types. But for TDM they really need to do something about camping as its one of the many complaints I always hear about.

Well they're still promoting ramboing instead of acting as a team.

Won't change anything except you'll probably get the best killstreak awards even less.

I don't like it if true. Objective games wil suck if that's the case.

well when there is one minute left and me and my buddy are the only ones even attempting to capture their flag while the rest of the team sits by our flag to farm kills instead of worrying about flag rushing to win the game.....yea, i'd consider that camping

2, maybe 3 people by the flag is all you need to play defense...not theother way around
