Team Defender: both teams attempt to capture a flag dropped by the first person who gets killed when the match starts, and hold it for their team to gain double points per kill while the team without the flag only gets the default amount per kill.However, the opposing team can pick up the dog tag as well to deny the other team of a kill. Kill Confirmed: players must collect floating dog tags from the corpse of a downed enemy before the kill can be registered.Several new game modes have also been added: Modern Warfare 3 features a local and online split-screen option. Modern Warfare 3 will utilize Treyarch's hot fix system to fix bugs and glitches. Diving from standing to prone, known as "dolphin diving", has been removed due to balancing issues. Several controversial perks in Modern Warfare 2, accused of being overpowered, have been removed in Modern Warfare 3. The "Prestige Shop" allows Prestige players to use tokens they gain from using the Prestige option to buy exclusive features such as double XP and an extra custom weapon class. Modern Warfare 3 introduces a new "Prestige Shop" which will unlock only after the player has selected the option to prestige for the first time. Only one Proficiency can be put on a primary weapon. Another new addition is the ability to equip "Hybrid Scopes" on a weapon, such as a Reflex Sight a magnifier similar to an ACOG on the same weapon, and the player can switch between the scopes. Players are allowed to choose which Pointstreak rewards they want to use when they gain it during the match, rather than choosing them between rounds.Īlong with revamping the entire Killstreak reward system, Modern Warfare 3 also has a completely modified Ranking and Unlocks system, which does not use a currency system for unlocks. The player's primary weapon levels up alongside the player, and unlocks a number of "Proficiency" perks such as Attachments, (allows two attachments and is a successor to the "Bling" and "Warlord" perks), Kick (reduced recoil while aiming down the player's sight) and Focus (reduced flinching while under fire). It is important to note that if a player switches to a custom class with a different reward system (either assault or specialist ) during game play, all points are automatically reset to 0. In contrast, the Support strike package are awarded based on the total points that the player has earned over the entire match, regardless of how often the player dies. Upon death, however, the player loses all the perks and the points are reset to zero. Likewise, the Specialist strike package rewards players with perks after every second consecutive kill. Once the player is killed, his or her points are reset to zero. The Assault strike package works the same as the Killstreak reward system in Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops : the player must earn more and more points without dying.
