So according to new footage, MW3 is moving from kill streaks to "point streaks".
This new system seems to reward someone who captures the objective: be it flag, successful bomb detonation/defusion, headquarter capture etc.. as well as kills. It also seems to feature a point total, which will tell you your point streak.
I think this is a very positive direction to take, team-oriented game-play is exactly what I think the CoD community needs. Now, killstreaks are one of the things that has made MW so popular. Props to the developers for stepping out of their comfort zone, and make important changes like this to improve the fundamentals of the game.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a gamebreaker for Bowling. This is something that could make this game one of the most popular games of the generation, or kill it. This could seriously discourage camping for example.
Personally I'm hoping every 2 or 3 assists in a life counts as a point, but that's trivial. So Juggernaut is a 14 point killstreak. It is unclear whether or not Jugg will be just you or your team, and how similar the transformation is to the COD4 perk, or to the MW2 Spec Ops boss. Given the high number of points it requires, nevertheless, I'm sure it will be powerful.
Killstreaks strongly appear to be stackable also. Lastly, it appears killstreaks are cyclable (YES!). This seems to be a step forward, removing one of the minor frustrations of MW2.
What do you think? Hate it, love it? Will it make killstreaks too easy?

Should Point Streaks return in Black Ops? Should we have Assault, Support and Specialist?
I think people should definitely get points for getting objectives, but Support, no.
Point streaks need to return in Black Ops 2 and any other future Call of Duty game.
Specalist should also return along with the assault package obviously. Support i'm not so keen on. However, I wouldn't be against it returning if the Stealth Bomber, Jugganaut and probably the EMP were not included this time. Stick to the simple rewards for support such as UAV, C-UAV, Ballastic Vest, etc. Just things that aren't going to royally screw over better players significantly because lets face it, if you're going negative you don't deserve to get a Stealth Bomber or Jugganaut.

Support is not op, Stealth Bomber is, it's different D: Precision Airstrike > Stealth Bomber in support, it's completely fine...

Yep I always use stalker on my SMG classes or if I have specialist bonus so this tactic comes in very handy. I always get my team saying "watch out IMS" and I always respond with "cool I'm gonna go stab it" So long as I know where it is it can't touch me before I trash it.
1.Bump up the stealth bomber up to 20,and the EMP up to a 25 2.Make Stealth bomber and EMP both a 20 point streak 3.Remove stealth bomber from the support and bump EMP up to a 20~25 Too many spammage of these to *bleep*ing things.But then again I play BF3 more now.
Bit excessive, just push it up to an 18 so you can't have that and Stealth Bomber.
One thing to say - Assassin Pro counters EMP. Literally half the people playing use it.

Stealth bomber is actually OP, *bleep*ing disgraceful. Oh and I hate predator missiles too but not as much as stealth bombers
