Pointstreaks and Strike Packages

Killstreaks, benefits and abilities awarded for stringing together multiple kills, have been transformed into Pointstreaks, creating a system that rewards players both for landing kills and completing objectives. These rewards have been broken up into three different categories, known as Strike Packages:

  • Assault - Pointstreaks within this package chain together and deal direct damage. It includes classics like the Predator Missile and Attack Helicopter. Your streak resets on death.
  • Support - Pointstreaks within this package do not chain, focusing instead on surveillance and disruption. Your streak does not reset on death meaning they will respawn with you.
  • Specialist - Pointstreaks within this package are designed for advanced players. Rewards come in the form of additional perks for optimal performance. These perks last until death.
Weapon Proficiencies

Just like your player, weapons now rank up, unlocking additional attachments, reticules, camos and the new proficiency category. Weapon Proficiencies not only allow you to get better with weapons, they also allow you customize your weapons with helpful attributes such as "Kick" for reduced recoil, "Impact" for deeper penetration through hard surfaces and much more. Many proficiencies are specific to their weapons class. And all are geared towards enhancing a certain play style and can allow for efficient use of your favorite weapons in maps and game modes in which they might not otherwise be the best choice.

Modes and Match Customization

Along with the return of the fan favorites Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduces several new game modes. Collect dog tags from killed players, including those on your squad while you prevent the opposing squad from taking yours in Kill Confirmed mode. In Team Defender mode, grab the flag and protect the flag carrier for as long as you can to increase your team's score. In addition players will enjoy user generated match mode functionality which allows you to configure any mode how you want it and then share these over the Call of Duty: Elite online service.

2-player Co-op Special Ops Survival Mode

Special Ops cooperative action returns with a bevy of additions, including 16 new objective-based missions and the all-new Survival Mode. Team up online, locally, or play solo and face endless waves of attacking enemies throughout every multiplayer map. Purchase and customize your weapons, air support, equipment and abilities to stand up against increasingly difficult forces and land a spot on the leaderboards. Earn experience and rank up with the newly implemented progression system. The higher the rank, the more weapons, air support, and gear armories you will have available to customize so you can change your tactics on the fly. In addition to the action packed battle for freedom, the cooperative Survival Mode also serves as an effective training tool for competitive multiplayer action.

Call of Duty: Elite

Call of Duty: Elite is an online multiplayer oriented service launched simultaneously with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The service offers both free and subscription based levels of access and is dedicated to the game franchise, featuring lifetime statistics across multiple games, social-networking options, competitions, a mobile app, Facebook integration and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars i decided i'd like to write a review for this new release...., November 10, 2011
By 
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition (Video Game)
so i got my pre-ordered hardened edition in the mail on release day (thanks amazon!), and needless to say i was very excited. the hardened edition is massive! i mean it comes in a massive case. i popped it open and say the goodies inside.
the journal is definitely some awesome geeky COD memorabilia.(in the journal there's pictures, notes, sketches, a match book(not real), one of the labels from a captian price cigar....truly nerdy...i dig it) one thing that was a let down was that COD elite had crashed on release day (must have learned from BFBC2 and BF3..no offense to them it just sucks all three had some issues). but its up and running today. COD elite is ok. i don't if its worth the money, but we'll see. the avatar costume is really cool.(nothing like good ol'jugs ruinin' your day..) the steel case is alright. i'm not really too big of a fan of the hardened editions. i pretty much got the MW2 for the free (kinda) COD classic, Black Ops for the Zombies maps, and MW3 for all of the dlc prepaid. usually i just sell the hardened after a while and buy a regular copy. overall nice packaging and good quality. but now for some details folks!

Graphics - 9.5 - still very beautiful. there could have been little things done to make it better, but this looks slightly better graphically than MW2...which was a gorgeous game in its time.

Sound - 7.5 - the sound is nothing special. i guess if you had a turtle beach head set you could appreciate it more, but its lack luster.

Playability - 9.5 - i seriously think the controls are tighter than they in any other COD. the game plays the same (as usual), but feels right on the money.

Campaign - 9.0 - i really enjoyed the story. classic. deep. (for the most part) layered. intense. it feels like the perfect ending to a trilogy. the campaign is still short though. i wanted to run through it and watch the story,so i played on recruit. took me a little over five hours. i'm no COD wizard, but it was short. i could see playing on veteran taking more like seven and half to eight hours. there is a few stages that i could see being very trouble some. we'll see when i get there. i liked it....i appreciated it.

Multiplayer - 9.0 - really no innovation. but a lot of features. spec ops returns, and the new survival mode is fun.(use survival to learn the maps for multiplayer.) if you really enjoyed spec ops, you'll love it even more. if you enjoy difficultly increasing hordes modes survivals will be a blast. i started by playing survival alone, and i really enjoyed it. now for the competitive multiplayer....it really is a lot like MW2 minus a a lot of annoying stuff. there is a ton of maps. there is still some verticality, but there is a lot more tight corners and interesting areas. but i still really like it. there's quite a variety of maps(16), and they fit well with the story and style. the guns feel nice and the weapon progression system is rewarding. the kill streaks aren't too crazy as you would possibly assume from the three strike packages. things balance pretty well and counter each other...and it doesn't make thins boring. the new game modes (kill confirmed and team defender) are really fun. the private match options are pretty crazy. lots of details to choose from. like i said, not a whole lot of innovation but, overall solid and beautiful. if you love COD's mulitplayer you should enjoy this one.

closing statement -

i really don't know why i bought this. i personnel enjoy battlefield games more. but i do love COD(fish?). i crave it. i feel like i need the trade off from time to time. if you want realness; battlefield is the way to go.(also vehicles, massive maps, destructibility, and more team oriented) if you want intense arcade gun battles; COD is by far the best choice. (relentless, fast, solid time and time again, gun on gun infantry warfare) to be honest...i would rather be playing the metal gear hd collection.(metal gear is my all time favorite series) but i don't have money for it. so until then, i will be fishing(COD) and hoping to save money for the myriad of other great games that are coming out or already out. (BATMAN!!! WHY!!!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Elite Founder Details for Hardened Edition, November 8, 2011
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition (Video Game)
There is not much to say about this game. The multiplayer is fast paced, addicting, and always fun. There's modes to fit every player (campers and even those who hate campers, i.e. Kill Confirm). The weapons are pretty much the same as MW2, but they seem to have been nerfed a slight bit in comparison. However, this review is for the hardened edition so let me get to what I feel is important.

Everyone who was trying to get this on release day was worried about activating the elite membership by the 13th to ensure you get founder status. LET ME ANSWER THIS!!! IF you activate by the 13th EVERYONE gets founder status, even people who buy elite with their credit card online and purchase the regular edition. So why the hardened edition? It allows you to get the founder status with a code after the 13th has already passed by. So if you were worried about getting this and not receiving it by the 13th, stop worrying. You will still get founder status.

That being said, yes this game is worth $99, no it's not worth the 150-200 price tag that gougers are giving it. If you can't get it for 99, just order the regular edition, then go online to the elite website and sign up by the 13th. You won't get your "green skull" founder badge until later on, it takes about 48 hours to get this to show up.

That being said, for those who were wanting founder status, but wanted to hold off activating their elite service till the first DLC releases so it lasts longer, you will need the elite founder card to activate founder status later. However, if you're just worried about getting founder status NOW, then either way you go about purchasing Elite, you will have no problems.

As far as the book goes - it's neat, and I'll probably read it all in a few weeks, or save it for a long plane ride after I beat the campaign just to get the full experience, but it's not the selling point, elite and long term founder capability is past the 13th (plus collectively you save about 10 bucks if you pay retail). All in all, if you enjoyed MW2, you'll enjoy MW3. The campaign is the same old style, but still fast enough paced. The spec ops can be fun, but seems VERY much like horde mode from gears of war. Still, grab a partner, get ready to be immersed, and activate your elite membership!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like multiplayer the hardened is for you, December 18, 2011
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition (Video Game)
If you are considering buying this edition then you are not a COD hater so I will not state the advantages and disadvantages of COD over other shooters, but instead mention the things that come with the hardened edtion, first and most immportant you get a one year subsctiprion for Cal of Duty Elite worth $50 that is a service that gives you monthly downloadable content, daily competitions with virtual and real life prizes, the ability to level up your clan, pro analysis and strategies, Elite TV, it also gives you a "founder" status on said service, you also get a steelbook, a really nice notebook that I think is faithfull copy of one a soldier would have on the filed all wrinkled and with blood stains on it, and a big cardboard box (if that is the correct term) which I like more than metal boxes; anyway the hardened edition saves you a lot of money if you plan on playing the multiplayer for a long time and getting all the DLC.
