What is the best pointstreak in MW3?

[perfectlemonade]

Hey everyone, I've been playing a lot of MW3 lately as I've gotten a bit bored with Zombies. I've really started to get into it. When I got this the first week of December, I was horrible. But now I can get a 1.5 kd every game. I know it's not like some whiteboy7thst stuff or whatever, but I think going from horrible to above average in six weeks is pretty solid.

ANYWAYS, now that I've tested out the pointstreak and stuff, I've been wondering: what is the best pointstreak? I don't take in just killing power in my formula of pointstreak awesomeness though, you have to account for how much it actually helps to get a win as well as how hard it is to get. So here's what I've decided.

In a non-objective based game, it's hands down the Reaper. At 9 points, it's waaaaay too easy to get, factoring in its destructive power. If it didn't have any flares, I could possibly understand it being at 9, but with an extra life essentially, it's just a monster for a 9 pointstreak. You can get 3-5 kills no problem with this badboy, even on the more covered maps like Lockdown or Carbon because of its insane maneuvering skills. Not only is this a formidable pointstreak in of its own, but it's very, very good as a linking streak if you're looking to get a top tier reward such as Juggernaught or Osprey Gunner.

But if you're playing an objective based game, especially ones that often come down to the wire such as Demolition, it has to be the EMP. Yes, you heard that right. The EMP. Why? With it, you're almost guaranteed a win. What I do with it is save it until we're really in trouble, call it in, and then BAM, it's an easy plant or defuse for my team. Plus, with it being in the support strike package, you can get it no problem every single game. Gotta watch out for the Assassin Pro users though, but there's usually only one Assassin player per team, so it's not a big problem if you're looking for a win.

Anyways, that's what I've come up with. What do yall think is the best pointstreak?

It all depends on your playing style. If you are going for wins, then The best is simply the uav. It is so basic, but so effective and easy to get. If you are going for kills I like going with the uav, care package, and predator missile. This way by the time you get 2 care packages and preds, it is the equivalent of getting 1 reaper, plus you can die in between. If you are more of the camper type, however, I honk the best is the pavelow. Why? Because it mows the other team down. You can easily get 5-10 kills from one pavelow. That's just what I think though.

I pick my Strike package based on the people I'm playing. I used to only used assault streaks with Pred, Attack Chopper, and whatever high streak I felt like using. But now I just see most people running stingers on their back because it counts towards your own streak. So I basically just run specialist now so I don't have get frustrated having a good streak and getting my Pavelow shot down within 10 seconds.

I'm using specialist too.

But my Assault Favs are:

Package: 70-80% chance of getting a higher than 4 killstreak, pretty worthwhile.

Predator: Just the best to work towards higher streaks.

Chopper: Always good.

Reaper: Only 9 kills, pretty strong and not too hard to get.

AC-130: Very fun.

[Zaptn.]

I use Predator, Reaper, AC-130. Once you get the reaper you can almost guarantee that you will get an AC-130 unless your taking cover in a open wide place were your visible. On the maps Arkaden, Hardhat and Underground i recommend you DON'T use them. The reaper on Arkaden is absolutely awful, i was playing domination with my friend and got 2 reapers, both of which got me no kills because of the lack of outside space. So for these maps i use Predator, assault drone and juggernaut. The assault drone is pretty bad in my eyes but if i play it right i can probably get the 5 kills necessary for juggernaut. I only use the predator on those maps for the slight chances of getting kills when the other team is taking flags, but even thats hard if your view of the map is bad and you can't see because of tall buildings.

Well Ill group it up by game mode I use

Team Deathmatch

assault-auv,predator,attack hellicopter.

Very simple,basic killstreaks

Support-UAV,sam turrett,advanced UAV

Lets you know where enemies are and takes down air support

Kill confirmed

assault

care package,predator,ah6 overwatch

support-RECON DRONE,advanced uav,juggernaut.

You dont want things that leave you on the ground because you wont pick up any tags if you kill them with reapers an ac130s also recon drone is amazing for your team.(ah6s get a crazy amount of kills.)

Domination

assault-predator,precision airstrike,ah6 overwatch

support-advanced uav,stealth bomber,emp

This just works for me

Demolition

assault-predator,ah6,assault drone

support-remote sentry,stealth bomber,emp

remote sentry is a monster when defending a bomb.

Search and Destroy

ah my favorite game mode

assault-uav,care package,predator

support-uav,ballistic vests/CUAV

support is personal preference

SPECIALIST

assault rifles

start off with

SoH

Hardline

Marksman

1 kill-assassin

3 kills-quickdraw

5 kills-steady aim

SMGs

start off with

extreme conditioning

asssassin

steady aim

2 kills-quickdraw

4 kills-dead silence

6 kills-hardline :ugeek:

shottys

same as SMGs

LMGS (rarely use bare with me)

start off with

extreme conditioning

quickdraw

stalker

2 kills-assassin

4 kills-SoH

6 kills-dead silence

Snipers

start off with

Extreme Conditioning

Quickdraw

Marksman

2 kills-assassin

4 kills-sitrep

6 kills-blast shield

(note with the snipers im not an MLG pro quickscopers so i dont know if its good for quickscoping)

Thats just what I usually run

Side Note-the past week all Ive been playing is barebones and its the greatest thing Ive ever played.

Barebones is tdm,kc, and dom with NO KILLSTREAKS so you dont have to worry about air support. You dont have to use assassin and your only uav is RECON (hint hint wink wink), haha so theres no campers going for killstreaks and its just running around and shooting :P

[LJx19]

Best pointstreak is easily the AC-130. That thing gets Multi-kills like a boss. And doesnt nearly get shot down as fast as a pave low. Next would def be Juggernaut, for the simple fact that if you're already good enough to get a juggernaut in the match, odds are you wont be dying for a very long time. M.O.A.B because if you do get one it's gonna kill everyone on the other team lol.

I'll suggest this combo for any taker out there that wants to try getting ospreys/juggernauts:

Attack heli

Reaper

osprey gunner/Juggernaut

I found this is by far, the easiest way get them.
