So, youll want to choose wisely.

Its also worth remembering that players can toggle between killstreaks and scorestreaks to suit the way they play.

Lets take a look at whats on offer.

The squad of Ghost, Soap, and Gaz standing next to one another in the Modern Warfare 3 campaign.

SAM Turret

Description:Launch a targeted missile strike against air vehicles.

If no-ones using an air vehicle then the SAM Turret becomes null and avoid.

Considering it took you four kills to get, there’s better options on offer.

Guardian-SC

Description:A beam shaped, non-lethal, area denial weapon.

Enemies will suffer reduced movement speed, blurred vision, and removed UI.

While its non-lethal, the effects still give you a slight upper-hand when you might really need it.

Care Package

Description:Call in a random killstreak package to your location.

Roll the dice, see what happens.

Swarm

Description:Deploys a large number of mosquito drones to provide blanket coverage over the entire area.

Fans of the franchise will recognise this killstreak fromCall of Duty: Black OpsII.

At 15 kills, you’re able to release a large amount of mosquito drones at once.

This provides blanket coverage to a specific area, enabling you to hunker down whilst enemies take sustained damge.

If used correctly, it can accrue you a nice amount of kills, however.

Cluster Mine

Description:Throw a rig that launches a cluster of smaller mines within the immediate area.

A Cluster Mine does what it says on the tin.

Emergency Airdrop

Description:Call in three random killstreak care packages to your location.

Youre swapping one for three, but is it worth the gamble?

Carpet Bomb

Description:Call in a bomber that releases a large line of explosives along its path.

Bomb Drone

Description:A remote-controlled drone with an attached C4 charge.

Wheelson-HS

Description:Remote controlled amphibious vehicle with auto sentry capabilities.

This ground drone has impressive firepower if manoeuvred correctly, but you’ll need eight kills to secure it.

Mortar Strike

Description:Signal several waves of mortars to attack a location.

The location is a trio of random areas rather than something that can be manually controlled.

If the randomization is working in your favor, then great.

If not, then you might want to think about one of the other damage-dealing killstreaks on our list.

Cruise Missile

Description:Control a long-range cruise missile with boost capabilities.

Precision Airstrike

Description:Call in twin jets for a precision strike along the best available path.

The Precision Airstike will absolutely give you and your team a combat advantage.

Mosquito Drone

Description:Explosive drone that circles the area around where the drone is launched.

Dive bombs on enemies it spots and explodes.

All this without you having to lift a finger after setting it off.

Juggernaut Recon

Description:Juggernaut Recon gear delivered by care package.

The suit is equipped with a radar that pings nearby enemies.

Contains a riot shield, Haymaker, and smoke grenade.

Remote Turret

Description:Automated turret that scans for nearby enemies and fires incendiary based rounds.

Counter UAV

Description:A drone that scrambles all enemy minimaps.

Four kills for this one, so not much at all for the reward you’re given.

EMP

Description:Electromagnetic pulse to disrupt enemy Killstreaks and equipment.

Helicopter in the sky, player beneath it.

Call in the Gunship.

Juggernaut

Description:Juggernaut assault gear delivered by care package.

The minigun will drop when the Juggernaut dies.

Chopper Gunner

Description:Control an assault chopper armoed with a turret and air-to-land missiles.

A rival to the Gunship, the Chopper Gunner is a powerful killstreak to use against enemies.

What’s more annoying than a turret?

SAE

Description:Call in a trio of jets to release aerial explosives onto specified targets.

UAV

Description:UAV recon ship that reveals enemy locations on the minimap.

You have to back the smaller rewards in a sea of juggernauts, jets, helicopters, and drones.

Of course, youve got to ensure you get the killstreaks in the first place.

Thats best done by setting up thebest Modern Warfare 3 loadoutsand equipping thebest guns in MW3.
