Starting from here on out I promise to start from scratch with you and stop being rude as long you promise not to make any more motion control threads. Deal?
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.Infinity 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 mapBlind Eye – Undetectable by air support/sentriesAssassin – Undetectable by UAV, portable radar, thermal, heartbeatQuickdraw – Faster aim down sightStalker – Move faster while aimingMarksman – Identify targets at longer rangeSome perks you wont see return in MW3. "No One Man Army, no Nuke, no Commando and no Last Stand," Infinity Ward promises.New ProgressionAnother big change to Modern Warfare multiplayer is Weapon Proficiencies, a new leveling system for firearms. Basically, the more often you use a weapon in MW3, whether it's an assault rifle, handgun, shotgun or sniper rifle, the better that weapon gets. In real terms, this means players can reduce gun sway, decrease recoil and add more attachments over time—among other things. New Modern Warfare 3 ScreensView the galleryOh, and if you really just adore player progression and experience points, know that the leveling up of Modern Warfare's multiplayer has been adapted for the Modern Warfare 3's version of Spec-Ops mode. You can read more about that mode right here.Modern Warfare 3's New Gameplay ModesCompetitive multiplayer in Modern Warfare 3 will be expanded with at least two new prominent gameplay modes, Kill Confirmed and Team Defender.You may have seen a snippet of Kill Confirmed in the leaked-early multiplayer trailer. That's the one with the big glowing dog tags that drop from corpses. Those dog tags are how players confirm kills in this Team Deathmatch variant. Kills don't count as a point for your team until you or one of you allies grabs a dead man's dropped dog tags. That adds an intriguing layer of strategy to Team Deathmatch, as opposing players can grab the dog tags of their fallen teammates before you do. And if they see one of their comrades lying dead, dog tags floating above their body, they'll know where your headed if you want to score.Team Defender, which I didn't get to preview, is a Capture The Flag variant, just without the flag return. Hold onto an enemy flag for as long as possible, sticking together as a team to survive.There will also be new Private Match game types added to MW3, each of which has been "significantly enhanced to allow players to create new, customizable game modes" that they can share with friends. "Through [Call of Duty Elite], subscribers can vote on favorite new modes and those modes could make their way into public playlists," Activision says. Here are those new Private Match modes.Infection – The infected kills enemies to recruit them for the infected team.Drop Zone – Hold the Drop Zone for Team Points and Care Packages.Team Juggernaut – With the support of a juggernaut, kill players on the opposing team. The first team to reach the score limit wins.Juggernaut – Kill the Juggernaut to become the new Juggernaut.Gun Game – Be the first to dominate with every gun.One in the Chamber – Gain ammo by eliminating enemies. Be the last to survive.

Ahahahah kill streaks from assists and objectives now? Game is going to be full of helicopters and airstrikes.
spoiler (click to show/hide)You take control of a parent on a vacation to Europe (holding a video camera) and your porn star wife is like DERP HERE WE ARE IN ENGLAND and the little girl is like WEEE LOOK AT ME I'M SO CUTE AND INNOCENT and a giant evil truck drives up and the little girl says LOOK DADDY BIRDS BIRDS and runs into a flock of birds and then the truck EXPLODES and vaporizes you, your wife and the little girlSTORY TIP: The nuke in MW1 was more effective because you had been playing as that motherfucker the whole game and you thought you JUST MANAGED TO ESCAPE. Introducing characters and killing them off in 30 seconds = I don't care[close]
So, it seems that MW3 can be completed in a little over 2 hours. These games just keep on getting shorter, I wonder if the next COD will even have a single player campaign.
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 London launch event will be streamed online via YouTube. is the dedicated YouTube channel that will stream the event from 7pm tonight as guests arrive on the green carpet.

It’s funny to think that when Infinity Ward made Modern Warfare it didn’t have a mo-cap studio, relying instead on the loan of another company’s setup. Four years on and that’s certainly changed, but the animation of those feet lingers: a piece of heritage, both in the game and for the game. And Infinity Ward may have changed too, but its standards haven’t, delivering a consistent 60fps, zero controller latency, explosive set-pieces, robust multiplayer and military characters you actually give a damn about. Wherever Call Of Duty goes from here, Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare trilogy stands as this generation’s defining FPS series – and Modern Warfare 3 is an emphatic, feature-packed and sometimes stunning final act.

Just got back from getting my copy. The manager said they had a turnout of around 300 for the midnight launch. Saw a stack of 40 hardened additions. They took up a lot of space.Can't take the afternoon off though. :'(
