People that have played it early (or just know): Are killstreak kills going to count towards your next streak as they did in MW2 or will only kills by the player count towards the progression?

This is a pretty tough gig, even in Ground War. But that's good - it gives people something to really aim for if they want it.

I guess i'll have to always set my E.M.P on, I'll probably only use support package.

Plus I don't think it's actually that hard, If it's in specialist package and the player is a good player with all the perks in the game which he would have by 20 kills and with a good team to back him up, I can see it happening.

Thanks why is the AK-47 in every game, when from a technical standpoint it seems outclassed by other Assault Rifles?
Click to expand...
AK-47 and M-16 are like the Ryu and Ken of Call of Duty at this point.

It seems that the MOAB isn't the only multiplayer easter egg. I'm hearing that there are secret weapon unlocks in this game as well.

Also, lol kmart is breaking street date today. See you guys online later!

Will there be a PS3 gaf clan or community thread in general to add friends? All the people I played COD4 with I don't have on my buddy list anymore. I want to play with people who do hardcore search and destroy and care about teamwork.

Why is this game so hard to get early?
Last year Shopto said they were not allowed to break the street date for Black Ops & it got to me a day late, even though shopto usually get pre-orders out to me a day or two before release date.
Then I asked a friend of mine who works in a game shop to see if he could get it early & he said COD is the only game that he cant.

Why is it so strict with COD? Or does anyone know another good UK site that ships games early?

I thought they said this wasn't the case because of people abusing it? I remember them saying they've changed something about this.

edit This is all I could find on it. I haven't played COD since WAW though so I don't know what this assault/specialist package stuff means.

Still confused about points factoring into the killstreaks...OP says something like "3 kills for UAV". I'm guessing that means three kills or the equivalent points from doing other things in the the game to get it?

nice find. i didn't realize no chaining in support, but makes sense with the support point streaks continuing even after death. most of the support point streaks are not designed for getting kills directly.

Oh well, I don't like this but I understand that they want to provide easier way to stack up kills for not so good players. I better ready to deal with people sneaking after first kill streaks...

But thought strike packages weren't unlocked till max level
Click to expand...

it's confusing. specialist not unlocking until possibly much later on, but you have the ability to customize your assault and support strike packages from level 4. you still need to rank up to get tokens to use to unlock the point streaks of your choice. think this is how it was in mw2.

What's the difference between the 3 and why would killstreak stacking only apply to assault? If I want to help the team why should I be penalized for not running and gunning.

I still don't know anything about this stuff I'm just guessing what it sounds like.

Um, I was certain they don't anymore. You can't get 5 kills for a streak and then that streak gives you kills toward the next one.

I am almost positive they changed this.

EDIT: Assault package only? Still, why is that even in the game? Getting 8 Heli kills shouldn't give you another heli.

It only applies to assualt because when you die in support your streak doesn't reset, giving you ample time to stack up kills for the higher rewards

i think the reason being you cannot kill streak stack an advanced uav in support. not enough of the support works towards getting kills directly. the assault package is meant to kill as many people as possible.

the balance being that with assault package your kill streak count resets on death. support streak does not. so hang back and support your team. most people can still get 12 kills in a match and reach stealth bomber with support package.

edit: gets confusing when trying to explain. what i don't know is if you get an attack chopper and die, use it and get 7 more kills, do you earn another attack helicopter?

That's kind of retarded that they even included stacking. That's what made me hate MW2, because you kept getting killstreaks on top of killstreaks. BlOps did away with it and worked great.

EVERYONE (or nearly everyone) will play Assault in MW3 anyways, no one cares about team stuff...

I wonder if they are selling the Wii version. Their site says December for it's release. Perhaps they simply didn't update it but you never know. I really want to see what what Treyarch managed to do.

No Radec, you will unlock Dead Silence because I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN MY TEAMMATES DON'T HAVE DEAD SILENCE


...sorry, that was uncalled for. : /

...but true
Click to expand...

I would've used dead silence, but rushing to the other side in search in destroy in 3 seconds to catch the other team by surprise was more important for me (marathon pro).

I'll probably use it in this game though, because i need dead silence pro's no fall damage for an effective shotgun rusher class.

BTW, does anyone else think that they should have switched the spots for Sleight of Hand and Quickdraw? A lot less people would be using assassin if they had to sacrifice something like SoH pro for it.

Until they realise they don't even need killstreaks to get support rewards, which will give them more xp in return.

This has probably been mentioned before, but isnt everyone just going to use the undetectable/silence perks?
In other Modern Warfares there seemed to be a decent choice, but now the only ones that seem worthwhile are Assassins/Dead silent/Blind eye.

I want stopping power back! Not because I want to use, but so that everyone else uses it while I sneak around :D
Click to expand...

Blind Eye means no Sleight of Hand or Recon (which will both be at just equally useful). Also keep in mind that if someone is using blind eye, they aren't going to be able to rush nearly as well (I always need marathon pro in BO for my Olympia rusher class)

Assassin may become a problem though, but at least in search I can see quickdraw and blast shield being just as popular.

For me, it may be tough choice between:

Marathon Pro
QuickDraw Pro
Dead Silence Pro

Sleight of Hand Pro
Quick Draw Pro
Stalker Pro

Marathon Pro
Quick Draw Pro
Steady Aim Pro

It's too hard to decide because I need SoH Pro for the quick pistol switch, but I also need Marathon Pro for effective rushing.

For me blind eye, blast shield and sitrep.

No explosion deaths/air deaths for me, and I can hear anyone using the ninja feet.

For those who have the game, how are the Pro perk unlocks done? Are there any that you have to play different game types to unlock? or is it strictly general gameplay stuff like in MW2? I hate that treyarch forced you to play other game modes.

I would assume they're unlocked via challenges as they were in MW2.

So basically, almost everyone who uses support package in the game can call those 10+ pointstreaks even if they die alot as long as they keep shooting stuff.

Guy in this stream just unlocked the nuke (it's a hidden killstreak) at 25. Also, you can select which killstreak you wanna call in, you don't have to go from highest to lowest.

What's the fallout of this attack? Don't recall if it had been said? I hated the nuke in MW2. Thankfully I didn't run into it much on the PC side but it always annoyed me to the point that when I saw it used I was done for the night with that game.

Enemy team get killed, EMP'd and lose perks. But it doesn't end the game (unless it's a finishing blow).

Marathon is not in the game, you cant run forever. I'm guessing you mean extreme conditioning.

Holy shit that host migration is fucking annoying. If a better host comes in in-game the game stops and you have to wait 30 sec for it continue? Come on. What if that happens 6-7 times in the game.

Better than the game ending after the host disconnects.
