I've been playing this for a good while now. One thing right away: Campers ruin the game experience for days, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Incase anyone is getting this, it's a sort of mix between Black Ops and MW2. Latter contributing to the bad parts much. There's 3 killstreak tiers now, which is a completely new and pretty awesome thing. You got Assault, which is the classic killstreak tier (tons of lethal air and ground support obtainable by consecutive kills, as the name suggests), Support (pointstreaks that support your team and counter the enemy's offense, killstreaks don't reset on death) and Specialist (per each kill you get 1 extra perk, at 8 consecutive kills you get all perks).
My personal favorite is the Support tier since it allows you to get your streaks even if you die. Which means someone going 18 - 30 is still going to get his EMP or Juggernaut Recon. Imo that doesn't mean Support is for bad players, actually it allows maximum efficiency for those who are good. Assault is fun to use sometimes, but some of the killstreaks are set really high making it pretty annoying when you get buzzkilled at 16 of 17 kills for the Osprey Gunner (happened to me earlier today).
Specialist is pretty boring unless you go for a MOAB (25 gun only killstreak). MOAB is a hidden killstreak available with every tier, it's basically a weakened Nuke. It acts like the MW2 nuke except it doesn't end the game. Instead it kills the whole enemy team and leaves an EMP effect behind. Believe me, there's nothing more frustrating in MW3 than getting buzzkilled while going for a MOAB. I have been panic knifed by some noob going 5 - 27 once while I was on a 24 killstreak. I was pretty damn pissed when it happened.
Guns handle pretty balanced. All weapons have their advantages and disadvantages, and there's a few exceptions which are unusable. Of course, there are some OP exceptions as well, like Akimbo FMGs, bleh, overpowered is not enough to describe those beasts. Type 95, a friggin 3-burst assault rifle, kills at one burst mostly. Perfect weapon for camping pu$$ies who like to hide in the back of the map somewhere.
Also, now weapon proficiencies which you unlock by ranking up with each weapon, simply by using it for a certain time.
Assault killstreaks won't turn the tide of the game, they can do some damage. Perks are ok, though Assassin can be annoying if someone camps with it. All in all, the game has some good stuff and it's not as bad as I expected it to be, but the campers are a plague. Recently I tend to play with full parties only.

I only played MW3 on splitscreen. I liked it a lot better than MW2 for most of the reasons you said.
But I picked the support killstreaks and got Juggernaut. Only three players can NOT take me down if I'm using that. I ended up just standing still while they shot at me so I could get back to playing instead of winning. I still won, but they actually had the tiniest sliver of a chance after I got rid of that. ROFL

I can take down a Support Juggernaut on my own. Any day and with ease. Heck, I even took down Assault Jugs on my own.
My secret: Akimbo FMGs. Gets rid of them with just 1 mag.
Despite I hate them, I got them in my pocket on most classes, simply to counter all those annoying noobs running them, or to fight corner campers. If someone on the other team gets 'em out, I'll get out mine too and usually they get owned. Other than that, I use them to quickly dispose of Juggernauts.
If they do it do me, I'll do it to them twice. 'Cause when I'm a Juggernaut myself, I really struggle with those Akimbo FMG noobs, despite being able to outplay them in some cases.
So unless your team gives you protection, your Juggernaut won't last long in public matches. Since I play in parties often, I always do my best to protect our Juggernaut. If I am one, I ask a few people to help me out. What I also like to do is: Get an entire team to use Juggernauts, and call the beasts at the same time.
Once I helped out an Assault Juggernaut with Support Juggernaut, and once we called in 2 Assault Juggernauts. Which was ultimate destruction.

MW3 allows you to hear what the enemy says for a few seconds after you killed him. A little rage I heard today. Right before the match ended, those 2 guys joined: *Camper sits in a corner with Blind Eye and Assassin Pro, trying to shoot me* *Me turns around quickly and stuffs his face with buckshot* "UUHH MY GHOOWD UU FU-UH-KING NUUUUB, UUUUHHGG!" *is he taking a dump or something?* *His 1289434... prestige boyfriend camps proned at a window* *Me throws grenade, exploding right on his dome* "Oh god, you LITTLE FUCKAA-A!!" *Me on final killcam* "Ugh, there he is again ta-hat stupid fuckah"

Today I got my 25th MOAB on MW3, and the host (who was on the other team) dashboarded during it's countdown. Despite their team was actually winning.
Bunch of piss chugging scrubs, I despise dashboarders so much.
Either you take it like a boss, or if you really wanna avoid getting nuked, kill yourself before it goes off or at least quit via PAUSE MENU instead of being a f%king piece of bull cr@p.
For those who don't know: Dashboarding is a cheap method to keep your K/D and W/L up in COD. Basically, it's cheating. If a game goes bad and you go like 5 - 20, you can just sign out of PSN so your stats won't be affected by that game. If you're host and you dashboard, you will cause the session to crash and all other players get a loss.

Yeah, it's called rage-quitting. It's been around since games were first created. Not a lot you can do about it.

Yeah I know. I have nothing against "normal" ragequitting.
There's a "clean" and a "dirty" way to ragequit on MW3. Dashboarding is the dirty way.
Even I sometimes ragequit. But ONLY via pause menu (clean way). Dashboarding is pretty annoying and they haven't managed to fix it yet.
Robert Trowling about COD 10: "No Final Stand, no dashboarding, no deathstreaks... Instead we'll give the bad players a game-ending Nuke unlocked at 20 consecutive deaths TROLOLOLOL HERP DERP".
Seriously though, I had some more frustrating games afterwards. Played some Domination. 23 gun streak and died.
I did manage to get another MOAB though. I guess I really wanted it. On that same game, 2 of my teammates also got a MOAB.
And what about you? You were planning to get MW3 and SR3, or is your gaming still on hold while you sort out your RL stuff?

Gaming is still on hold, mainly online. I can only get online when I'm at my parents house or other places. Nothing where I live yet.
Still gaming a bunch, finally able to go through a lot of my old games that I never played.

 Yeah right, "FUCK YOU LAST STAND" LOL. I think they won't have any deathstreaks in COD 10 anymore though, the fanbase has been asking for it and IW will listen. So instead they'll have a new feature called "death chain strike package" and completely remove killstreaks. 3 deaths: Recon (= wall hack) 5 deaths: Martyrdom 8 deaths: Painkiller Pro (= juggernaut) 9 deaths: Hollow Points (= stopping power pro for the rest of the match) 12 deaths: Pave Low 15 deaths: Ultra EMP (for the rest of the match) 25 deaths: Dead Man's Nuke (kills the other team 10 times and ends the game with an auto win)

And people wonder why CoD is a total joke amongst the more mature gamers... lol
"We could make a perfect game, but if we did, what would we sell you next year?"
..Seems to be the business strategy.

Well, today I've been MOAB'd for the first time...
by a fucking booster & his piss chugging sidekick, on a Kill Confirmed game. Go fuck yourself & get better at the game, or just GTFO and get banned, bunch of useless scrubs. Stop ruining the game experience for other people please.
Excuse my language btw.
It's the third time I witnessed boosters in MW3. First time I managed to buzzkill the booster 3 times in one match, second time I got a buzzkill on them at 5 kills and both boosters left.
And today they drop a fucking MOAB on my team. I joined late, went 12 - 3 and didn't even notice him until the MOAB countdown popped up. Watched the game in theater and wasn't surprised they were boosting. Our team had a lot of killstreaks in the air, but one guy was 3 - 32. So it was quite obvious. Too bad I didn't get the EMP in time, that could have prevented the MOAB given I'd use the EMP before. Cause it was at the very end of the game, which our team won by 65 - 30 LOL.
I'm glad that 1) I managed to avoid the MOAB itself by waiting during a killcam, and 2) we won.
Sent the guy a message "Reported for boosting kid" , and he just replied "ke voi?", no idea which language that is but as he was Italian, I just assume it's Italian.
I reported both, him and his boyfriend. Just like last time. I don't think IW will do anything about them. I kept tracking some booster kids on the COD elite page, just to see whether their stats would get reset or something like that. No sign of a ban, no stats were reset, nothing. So they'll just continue boosting.
And another thing I'd like to mention: Despite I hate deathstreaks and such, I absolutely love Support. Greatest thing about MW3. A lot of people have been crying about it, but imo it's pretty balanced, and unlike many people say "it's catering the noobs", I think it supports the good players much more. Why? Well simple, you can run around and own the enemies, without worrying about dying and losing your reward if you get on a good killstreak. That makes for less rage inducing deaths and a way more enjoyable gaming experience, which again leads to doing better. Plus, it seems to reduce camping a lot. There's a lot people who camp with Assault and Specialist, but I have yet to see someone camping for a Support streak. The game would get 30-40% more campy if there was no Support.
Yes, it does have some powerful killstreaks. The EMP best example. It destroys all enemy killstreaks and it even has the power of delaying a MOAB. But there are no streaks that damage the other team heavily, it's more like a counter to assault. I was running Support today and denied the enemy an AC-130 and a chopper that they got from a care package. And went 36 - 12. Support package OP? Not in my book. What do you think?

Killstreaks?
Personally, I think they're the main reason people camp so much in the game. If you die, you lose all this good stuff. So what do people do to not die? Play better? Nope, they hide and take only the easy kills. So for that reason, the entire thing should be based around the support killstreak line-up.
Or better yet, timer-based. Get six kills in a minute for a reward, etc... That'll encourage people to go on the offensive. Rarely does camping allow you to get a lot of kills in a short time.
I think the entire concept of killstreaks in general is pretty stupid. A bonus like an air-drop or air strike or whatever should be awarded for capturing a base or significant location. Pressing a button that calls in an AI to get your team more kills is a stupid idea.
Killzone 3 does it well. You get a small bonus for doing well and not dying. It's a reward, but it's not enough to encourage people to camp all day.

Without killstreaks, COD would be no COD. Killstreaks = COD's core feature that keeps people playing the game.
That's why Crysis 2 stole that concept.
While I admit killstreaks do add in a lot of addictiveness to the game, I'd totally agree with you. Not only do killstreaks cause camping, they also cause a lot of boosting and cheating/hacking. Killstreaks should be 1) small rewards and 2) based on overall kills, not consecutive kills. Completely remove Assault and such, and camping would be reduced by a huge amount.
Also, big bullcrap killstreaks such as the Nuke and the MOAB (which is almost impossible to get without heavy camping) are total bollocks and should be taken out of the game. I see people who made it their mission to camp for MOABs all day. How can that be fun?!
I'd rather take my AA-12, run around with Support and get an Escort Airdrop to see what good stuff it might dish out, or drop an EMP and grill their entire air support (I love EMPs in MW3), or at least use care packages with Hardline (I got one Assault class with care package, one Specialist class and the rest = Support all the way).
I honestly don't understand why people cry so much about Support. They say stuff like "Assault and Specialist takes way more skill, Support is for pu55ies, EMP is overpowered and should be moved to Assault" and stuff like "If I get an Osprey Gunner, how come a scrub who camped (!!) and went 18 - 30 can destroy it before it even arrives on the map with his sh!tty EMP?"
Where's the logic? Camping for Assault takes more skill than using Support and rushing? Sure it does. And who's more likely to camp? The guy who went for 17 consecutive kills, or the guy who went 18 - 30 and used EMP? And why doesn't anyone complain about stingers? They shoot down killstreaks too.
If something makes me feel good, then it's destroying hard earned camped killstreaks with the EMP. I can guarantee, 8 of 10 times their Pave Low gets EMP'd the second it appears on the radar, if I'm in a game. Since I'm playing with parties pretty much all the time, most enemy Assault killstreaks come from a lucky care package.
