Well multiplayer news is out there now.  I wasn't expecting anything exciting for MW3 and so...I wasn't when they showed off the new gear, new game mode, and that killstreaks are kinda put into some sorta...class system, though you can barely call it that.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Multiplayer Reveal Trailer

The new game mode is just TDM, but to get kills counted, you have to pick up their dogtags.

Killstreaks have three different types now

Assault:

    UAV
    Care Package
    I.M.S.
    Predator Missile
    Sentry Gun
    Precision Airstrike
    Attack Helicopter
    Strafe Run
    little Bird Guard
    Reaper
    Assault Drone
    AC130
    Pave Low
    Juggernaut
    Osprey Gunner

Support:

    UAV
    Counter-UAV
    Ballistic Vests
    Airdrop Trap
    Sam Turret
    Recon Drone
    Advanced UAV
    Remote Turret
    Stealth Bomber
    EMP
    Juggernaut Recon
    Escort Airdrop

Specialist:

    Recon pro
    Sleight of Hand Pro
    Blind Eye Pro
    Scavenger Pro
    Quickdraw Pro
    Blast Shield Pro
    Hardline Pro
    Assassin Pro
    Marksman Pro
    Stalker Pro
    Sitrep Pro
    Steady Aim Pro
    Dead Silence
    (Note: One perk missing from this list.)

So one class doesn't even get you killstreaks, just keeps giving you more perks, basically like building up perks in the zombie game mode that came before.

Also Elite is a 50 dollar a year membership, which saves you 10 bucks on all the DLC, the premium features seeming to be kinda pointless unless your a hardcore clan guy.

Any news today was softened by the confirmation that killstreaks stack like before, unlike being fixed like they were in Black Ops.  Pretty annoying, though grenade launcher abuse is said to have been fixed and that using a grenade launcher might even count towards a waste of an attachment.  We'll see on that.

Overall, MW3 is still hovering at a rental.  All the multiplayer clips I saw just further cemented the lack of improvements to the series as they have been reusing the same sounds and pretty much the same UI since MW1.

i'm excited

[Maxon]

I'm probably at a level just below interested for the game.  Some of the changes are nice, but so much of it just feels like MW2.5 instead of 3.  Certainly not a buy at full price right now.

[Versus]

a fixed mw2 would be really, really good and having perks as streak rewards sounds amazing. wonder what juggernaut does exactly though

[Maxon]

It's actually pretty funny.  You get the Juggernaut suit and a riot shield and your kind invincible for a time or just have alot more health as you run around and wack people with a riot shield.

Modern Warfare 3 - Juggernaut Point Streak Gameplay

It's also a part of Spec Ops I think, where you play as the Juggernaut to defuse bombs and then have a buddy with a sniper rifle and killstreaks help cover you.
