MULTIPLAYER RE-IMAGINED

ALL-NEW STRIKE PACKAGES: Killstreaks have been redesigned to reward different play styles and skill

levels through unique Strike Packages. Completing game mode objectives now counts towards your

Pointstreak progression. For the first time ever, kills are not the only way to earn Pointstreaks.

This also allows Pointstreaks to cater to more unique play-styles:

Assault Strike Package – Pointstreaks within this package chain and are designed for more direct

damage (Predator, helicopter, etc), just like in Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2. Your streak resets

on death.

Support Strike Package – Pointstreaks within this package do not chain. However, streaks do not

reset on death. Streaks are more support oriented (UAV, Counter UAV, SAM turret, etc)

Specialist Strike Package – Pointstreaks designed for the expert players. Rewards come in the form

of additional perks. A player activates additional Perks as they progress in a Pointsreak. These perks

last until death.

Strike Packages include (not limited to):

Assault:

Streak count resets on death

5 kills: I.M.S.

These perks operate in addition

to the standard 3 assigned to the
