So if their streak never resets then they can only use 3 KS per match? Or after reaching their last killstreak it resets?

It resets.

Unlike MW2, you don't have to die just to get your first killstreak/poinstreak again.

Really? I got no game credit for pre-ordering the game.

How could you not know(it was plastered on the page) they were giving a credit? First time buying from Amazon? Regardless you should have got a credit if you did. Check your account. Does expire until next year.

Well doesn't this statement describe the whole of MW series campaign? I mean, I like playing it, but most of it is pure action movie and cheap thrills.

This scares me, as assault class' killstreaks stack, and they reset after the last one, so they could go on forever...

Yes. Which is why I have never really cared for any of the drama they try for. They're entertaining, though, if not shallow.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is (unless I'm misunderstanding how this works)

I feel like a lot of people using the Support package are going to set their streaks high, so for instance let's just say someone picks 4, 7, and 12 (or whatever something quality high is). I'd think that if it reset upon death, there would be more UAVs than there will be now that it doesn't reset. The likelihood of someone getting 4 kills and then dying and getting 4 kills again is higher than the likelihood of someone getting 16 kills a match. How many times is the same person really going to get it multiple times? Not many.

I think it just seems like a lot early in matches but as they progress I wouldn't think it would impact much.

But when the last KS is reached, they rest. So its endless....

I have a question do killstreaks chain like MW2 or is it like black ops? Also WHY IS QUICKSCOPING STILL ALLOWED? I hate sniping in these games its pointless since the maps are so small, if you want to actually feel like a sniper go play BF3.

Also would be interested in joining the 360 clan for gaf, but I wont have Elite till the end of release week. Gamertag is njean777

Endless for 1 match. So you think everyone that's using support is going to average 16 kills (which I was very generous in my 12 kill assumption for the final streak, I'd assume more people than not are going to try to be heros and get the EMPs or juggernauts which are like 15 kill streaks, putting them at having to achieve 19 kills just for 2 UAVs) a game? That in the end seems like its going to net fewer UAVs total.

People are overreacting to something new

The way it works, they are essentially getting 4 kills for the first streak, the 1 more kill for counter, then a few more for advanced uav, then 4 kills for uav, etc. And keep in mind that is excluding hardline, hardline pro's points for every two assists, and points for all the stuff you can do in objective based games.

And to the person who asked, only the strike package counts killstreak kills toward the next streak.

It only showed up during check out. I'm used to the credit showing up when I trade in a game. I found it and it's cool now.

Edit: I finally finished reading the entire thread. Thanks for upping my hype to over 9000.

Ok either my ps3 has something or mw3 ps3 has a serious issue. The game pauses for a moment every now and then. Not only during gameplay but cinematics and even menus!

I've been playing U3 until today with no problems...

Other than this the sp so far is good. Nothing new but it looks better than ever. Also I liked that you can default a mode so that it goes there at start up.

Oh and there is already a 20 mb patch.

I suppose I still don't understand why this is that big of a deal. If you're a good player in the first place, this is of no benefit, if you're a bad player, which is I imagine who this is tailored for, are they going to all of the sudden start averaging 15 kills a game?

Well you are only playing with a limited number of people right now plus abuse of the uav is gonna be there because that's the very first thing you unlock in the game. Wait till everyone is online and actually getting to level 60-80 and trying everything out in the game and making it their own. Honestly if something like that gets patched within the first 2-3 weeks ill be amazed because I know IW thought these through before making the Strike/Assault Packages. Besides if people want to waist their time using uav's or package's all day I say more power to them. Less Predator Missiles and AC-130's in the sky and more space for me to use them.

Pretty much the same. Colors are slightly different, but that's something to expect. Also the PS3 textures look just slightly blurry compared to the 360 ones, but that could be the capture card's fault. And even then, it's nothing that really stands out at all.

IW did a great work making both versions as close to each other as possible. I will be grabbing the PS3 version myself :)

They're not identical, PS3 version has more jaggies and is blurrier in spots, very annoying. Open the full sized original images and then compare back and forth and the difference is noticeable. I'm so tired of this 640p bullshit PS3 keeps getting from Rockstar, COD devs etc. like they make a shitload of money and can't get it right.

This one is particularly bad imo:

Even R3, exclusive game for PS3, 30 fps game, ran at lower resolution than IW's MW games. All MW games where the same resolution, I don't know why would this be any different.

I am outraged at the PS3 version looking the same as the 360 version. This is bullshit.
Click to expand...
The entire image is noticeably blurrier to me. Jaggies all over the front radio area that aren't present in the 360 shot. Shadows/definition missing on objects mainly the paper on the table.

Each thing sounds insignificant but all of those put together leads to a worse version. I don't know why people are okay with it when COD makes billions. They have the resources/money to get them both equal but don't because everyone is hurr hurr it's good enough it's not that bad etc. justifying.

I still don't get why they let any class stack killstreaks. This made me stop playing MW2 after a month. BlOps was great, and the way it should be. Surprised IW brought stacking back.

I'll be playing as support class anyways. :)

Playing SnD makes a lot of this killstreak stuff a non-issue really. Probably why I never had any problems with Modern Warfare 2.

I don't know what the problem is with stacking. You know you can shoot down the aerial streaks.

MW2's problems were on foot (Commando, One Man Army).

OK it's seems the problem is the patch. I deleted it and no pauses at all. Or the fact that I was signed out since you cannot play signed in without the patch.
It's mw2 all over again when the first day patch disabled the trophies.
I'd like to hear if anyone else hear has this problem.

Only difference for most of the current multi-platform games is usually the AA and gamma. That's what it looks like to me in those screens.
