Many fans have been waiting for MW3 multiplayer news for quite a while now, and Call of Duty XP has given us an update about it's highly-anticipated multiplayer.

Killstreak rewards have changed and been turned into point streaks, awarding players not only for kills but for instances such as capturing a strategic position.

Point streaks come in three strike packages, giving players a wider range of options. They include: Assault, similar to killstreaks in the past; Support, giving bonuses such as special ballistic vests for your team; and Strategic, instead unlocking you perks. Strategic also does not reset after a death.

Perks such as Commando, which was highly controversial among fans, are gone, and there are plenty of new and exciting perks.

We will also be able to level up weapons and have a wider range of attachments,

All the classic modes are back(team deathmatch, capture the flag), but there is a new mode called Kill Confirmed, that forces you to collect a players dog tag before counting as a kill.

Also, spec ops makes a return, now with Mission and the popular new Survival Mode, in which you fight an endless wave of enemies to survive the longest.




There are definitely some changes here, but for me this is a day one buy. What about you? Sound off in the comments.

Video game news. I know, but we cover news on Halo don't we? It's in the pic. I thought the Video Game section didnt have to be comic book.

That's it? This is remarkably underwhelming considering that this is competing with Battlefield 3. BF3 looks like it's going to be off the chain, while Modern Warfare 3 looks just like Modern Warfare 2 which already looked pale in comparison to Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

battlefield and cod cant be compared to each other, i have them both, COD is more of a skirmish competition style shooter, and battlefield is more of a war simulation. That childish one is better then the other is getting boring. Im not being a smartass but cmon, grow up.

The video game section covers ... wait for it... video games. So shut it people.

It's because of BC2 that I jumped ship from the COD franchise. (And partly due to the suckiness of MW2 imo)
I am really unimpressed with this though, I spoiled everything included in the game for myself today and there was nothing that truly made me want to keep my pre order. A handful of new weapons and game modes is not enough for me. Most people will say they don't care about graphics but for me I can't stand the idea of having another COD with a nearly identical engine. Not enough buying incentive imo.

Here's some gameplay for all you guys though.

CoD is a disgrace. i'm so sad it's the best selling. there are developers trying new creative things; putting in tons of time and effort. the best selling game is a DLC of last year's DLC FPS. what's more sad is this is what mainstream people think of when they think of video games.
