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.
Weapon Proficiencies
Just like your player, weapons now rank 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 your weapons with helpful attributes such as "Kick" for reduced recoil, "Impact" for deeper penetration through hard surfaces and much more. Many proficiencies are specific to their weapons class. And all are geared towards enhancing a certain play style and can allow for efficient use of your favorite weapons in maps and game modes in which they might not otherwise be the best choice.
Modes and Match Customization
Along with the return of the fan favorites Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduces several new game modes. Collect dog tags from killed players, including those on your squad while you prevent the opposing squad from taking yours in Kill Confirmed mode. In Team Defender mode, grab the flag and protect the flag carrier for as long as you can to increase your team's score. In addition players will enjoy user generated match mode functionality which allows you to configure any mode how you want it and then share these over the Call of Duty: Elite online service.
2-player Co-op Special Ops Survival Mode
Special Ops cooperative action returns with a bevy of additions, including 16 new objective-based missions and the all-new Survival Mode. Team up online, locally, or play solo and face endless waves of attacking enemies throughout every multiplayer map. Purchase and customize your weapons, air support, equipment and abilities to stand up against increasingly difficult forces and land a spot on the leaderboards. Earn experience and rank up with the newly implemented progression system. The higher the rank, the more weapons, air support, and gear armories you will have available to customize so you can change your tactics on the fly. In addition to the action packed battle for freedom, the cooperative Survival Mode also serves as an effective training tool for competitive multiplayer action.
Call of Duty: Elite
Call of Duty: Elite is an online multiplayer oriented service launched simultaneously with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The service offers both free and subscription based levels of access and is dedicated to the game franchise, featuring lifetime statistics across multiple games, social-networking options, competitions, a mobile app, Facebook integration and more.

20 of 22 people found the following review helpful  i decided i'd like to write a review for this new release...., November 10, 2011 = Fun: This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition (Video Game) so i got my pre-ordered hardened edition in the mail on release day (thanks amazon!), and needless to say i was very excited. the hardened edition is massive! i mean it comes in a massive case. i popped it open and say the goodies inside. the journal is definitely some awesome geeky COD memorabilia.(in the journal there's pictures, notes, sketches, a match book(not real), one of the labels from a captian price cigar....truly nerdy...i dig it) one thing that was a let down was that COD elite had crashed on release day (must have learned from BFBC2 and BF3..no offense to them it just sucks all three had some issues). but its up and running today. COD elite is ok. i don't if its worth the money, but we'll see. the avatar costume is really cool.(nothing like good ol'jugs ruinin' your day..) the steel case is alright. i'm not really too big of a fan of the hardened editions. i pretty much got the MW2 for the free (kinda) COD classic, Black Ops for the Zombies maps, and MW3 for all of...

9 of 11 people found the following review helpful  Elite Founder Details for Hardened Edition, November 8, 2011 = Fun: This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition (Video Game) There is not much to say about this game. The multiplayer is fast paced, addicting, and always fun. There's modes to fit every player (campers and even those who hate campers, i.e. Kill Confirm). The weapons are pretty much the same as MW2, but they seem to have been nerfed a slight bit in comparison. However, this review is for the hardened edition so let me get to what I feel is important. Everyone who was trying to get this on release day was worried about activating the elite membership by the 13th to ensure you get founder status. LET ME ANSWER THIS!!! IF you activate by the 13th EVERYONE gets founder status, even people who buy elite with their credit card online and purchase the regular edition. So why the hardened edition? It allows you to get the founder status with a code after the 13th has already passed by. So if you were worried about getting this and not receiving it by the 13th, stop worrying. You will still get founder status. That being said, yes... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful If you like multiplayer the hardened is for you, December 18, 2011 = Fun: This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition (Video Game) If you are considering buying this edition then you are not a COD hater so I will not state the advantages and disadvantages of COD over other shooters, but instead mention the things that come with the hardened edtion, first and most immportant you get a one year subsctiprion for Cal of Duty Elite worth $50 that is a service that gives you monthly downloadable content, daily competitions with virtual and real life prizes, the ability to level up your clan, pro analysis and strategies, Elite TV, it also gives you a "founder" status on said service, you also get a steelbook, a really nice notebook that I think is faithfull copy of one a soldier would have on the filed all wrinkled and with blood stains on it, and a big cardboard box (if that is the correct term) which I like more than metal boxes; anyway the hardened edition saves you a lot of money if you plan on playing the multiplayer for a long time and getting all the DLC.
