Digital Spy:'Modern Warfare 3' multiplayer features unveiled

Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer has been fully unveiled, and will be one of the most significant revamps of any Call of Duty title to date, says Activision.

The biggest change is to the Kill Streaks, which is renamed as the Point Streak system, and will see objectives and assists contribute to your streak as well as kills.

Point Streak will be divided into three classes: Assault, Support and Specialist. Assault and Support will have 28 new Kill Streak rewards between them based on offensive and defensive play.

Meanwhile, Specialist streaks will unlock a new perk for every two kills, with a total of eight kills unlocking every available perk until the player dies.

New Point Streak rewards include remote controlled helicopters, mobile turrets, the ability to become a Juggernaut, booby trap care packages, share ballistic vests with your team and more.

Several new modes will be available, including Kill Confirmed, which sees players collect dog tags from fallen players that contribute to a points total for your team.

More than 18 maps will be featured on the disc, including arenas set in London and Paris, while custom private match scenarios can be created and shared with other users.

A host of other changes are also included, such as a Prestige Shop, the reclassification of shotguns as primary weapons, the removal of the Commando perk and more.

Elsewhere, Call of Duty Elite will be fully embedded into the game, with premium members receiving downloadable content before regular players as part of their subscription on a monthly basis, as well as other benefits.

:puke:

I really think this is going to be battefield's year

[Hotsauce]

lol, all that article says to me is that;

A) same old game with minor tweeks and new maps

B) it will be fully ready for the "Pay to Play" transition that will inevitably happen with COD...

[DRSundrop]

not a chance i pay to play MW3 until i see better servers. who wants to pay to play and see stats that arent representative of your quality of play?

[YoungPanthers89]

saw the multiplayer footage for mw3 and it looks identical to mw2, didnt even change the hud.

[Doc Holiday]

pretty much the same as MW2 some notable changes is but wont know if it's any good till I play it. with that said I think I might be done with COD played it too much, and it's no-longer interesting to me

[Ivan The Awesome]

Boycotting this piece of crap game..

[Seamonk]

In other news, I bought Cod4 for PC so i can play the galactic warfare mod.

[Chimera]

lol @ haters. See it every year with Madden and COD

[KillerKat]

I dont understand what people see in battlefield. I gave it a try and it just seemed bland to me.

[Chimera]

Get with a good team that communicates well and it makes a world of difference. I played with a few Huddlers once. They talked me through it a little. But I lost interest pretty quickly.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

you guys are just grumpy old men that don't like real games otherwise u would already b standing in line waiting to prepurchase the same game for the 3rd or 4th time

[Jackofalltrades]

I can't wait for this to come out.

Money is tight, BUT there's no way I'm not getting this. I have a crew I play with from up in MI and we hardly every lose.
