been…singleplayer campaign and Spec Ops mode add value…too damn addicting to
pass up.” 9/10 – IGN

With a focus on multiplayer gameplay which includes innovative new
functionality that encourages multiple gameplay combat strategies, a new
2-player co-op option, new play modes, weapons and more. The game also includes
a gripping single player campaign that picks up where Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 2 left off, and game integration with the Call of Duty: Elite online

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.

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.

REVIEWS
“…the competitive multiplayer still offers the same sweet satisfaction
you've come to expect from the series. This is some of the best online shooter
action around, and with the daunting challenges of Spec Ops and the exciting,
globe-trotting campaign, Modern Warfare 3 stands tall as another great
descendant of the game that changed a generation.” 8.5/10 – Gamespot
THE GOOD – Climactic campaign, Lots of varied and challenging Spec Ops
action, Exciting and entertaining competitive multiplayer, Spec Ops profile
spreads the satisfaction of leveling up.
THE BAD – Multiplayer sticks closely to familiar formula.
“…Modern Warfare 3 takes the fantastic series we’ve come to love over
the years and iterates on it with great success. The multiplayer is hands-down
the best it has ever been, with more features, more modes and a ton of new
levels and ways to interact via Call of Duty Elite. The singleplayer campaign
and Spec Ops mode add value to the overall package, creating something that may
not be perfect, but is too damn addicting to pass up.” 9/10 – IGN
