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.
* Spet - 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 s and game modes in
which they might not otherwise be the best choice.
Modes and Match Customization
-----------------------------

Warfare 3 introduces several new game modes. Collect dog tags
from killed players, including those on your squad while you
prevent the sing squad from taking yours in Kill Confirmed

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

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.
