Multiplayer :
General MP info :
The "Elite" service will be launched with MW3. See bottom of this post for information.
MW3 MP will debut during Call of Duty XP. See bottom of this post for information.
XBL Party Chat will return with some restrictions (S&D...)
Playing the objective will be more rewarding thanks to tweaks done to the challenges, XP, match bonus and medals.
MW3 will have a unique unlock system which will not feature currency.
The melee will be nerfed
Gun-on-Gun focus, so less reliance on killstreaks, knifing, equipment.
It was hinted the Callsign system will return
Stopping Power is not returning in any way.
It was hinted the weapons would have increased base damages to compensate the lack of Stopping Power.
"More gun damage overall, less explosive damage overall".
Confirmed Sniper information : More Sniping Options. QuickScoping is confirmed. There will be public Sniper lobbies.
According to IW, MW3 will have long-term post-launch support (patches).
Free dedicated servers will return for PC. No information on other PC-exclusives yet.
3 Map Packs (confirmed by Elite add)
Security, balancing explosives and not overlooking the importance of high-quality sounds (aka soundwhoring) are important parts of the design.
Sensory depreciation abilities have been balanced out rather than centralized in one option (AKA Cold-Blooded nerf)
A feature similar to "Theater" will be available in MW3.
Combat Training is not set to return as it is replaced by Survival Mode (Spec Ops).
The Mini-Map is now colored instead of translucent.
Maps : Dome, Carbon, Paris and 2 other unknown maps (possibly "Coast" and "Lambeth")
Verticality and Map complexity are being toned down, to control camping and vantage points.
Perks :
Extreme Conditioning
Steady Aim
SitRep
Scrapped Perks : Stopping Power, Juggernaut, Danger Close, One Man Army, Commando and Last Stand
Point Streaks :
The Killstreak System has been replaced by a Point Streak system.
Kills and other actions (i.e. capturing objectives) help build your Point Streak.
Apparently Point Streak Bonuses stack towards your next Point Streak.
After acquiring your last Point Streak Bonus, your Point Streak reset, allowing you to re-acquire bonuses.
Confirmed Point Streak Bonuses : IMS (Intelligent Munitions System), Predator Missile, Juggernaut (AI)
Scrapped Rewards : Tactical Nuke.
Gamemodes and Playlists :
New gamemodes are set to appear.
There will be Sniper lobbies.
Confirmed returning gamemodes thus far : Free-For-All, Team Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch Express, Domination, Search & Destroy.
