A fresh batch of new leaks for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has made its way to Kotaku, revealing the details of individual perks, killstreaks and the addition of team perks to the game's multiplayer mode.
The biggest revelation contained within the leaks is that Modern Warfare 3 will not have support for dedicated servers. The game will instead rely on the matchmaking system and hosted servers found in the previous games.
Like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3 is said to be using DemonWare (as opposed to PunkBuster or VAC) for player authentication.
The new individual perks are:
-
Blind Eye: This makes you immune to computer-controlled and player-controlled killstreaks. The pro version makes your launchers lock on faster and gives you extra bullet damage to vehicles.
-
Assassin: This makes you immune to UAV, thermal, and heartbeat sensors. The pro version also makes you immune to CUAV, EMP and no longer shows your name in red or the crosshair in red when you're targeted.
-
Point Guard: Every two assists count as a kill towards your killstreak.
-
Dead Silence: You make no noise.Recon: Gives you a special kind of radar to spot enemies, most likely. We're not sure on this one.
The new team perks include the following:
-
Stopping Power: Increased bullet damage.
-
Blast Shield: Unclear
-
Health Regen: Regenerate health over time.
-
Stun Protection: Prevent stunning from flash grenades.
-
Additionally, Modern Warfare 3 will be getting major upgrades to its killstreak arsenal:
-
EMP Grenade: Temporarily takes out all area electronics.
-
Littlebird: A tiny remote-controlled helicopter.
-
Precision Airstrike: Calls in an airstrike on a targeted area.
-
Stealth bomber: Calls in a B2 Spirit to carpet bomb along a line designated by the player.
-
Remote Turret: A remote controlled turret.
-
Directional UAV: A UAV that can be directed into areas to scan for enemies.
-
Remote Mortar: Direct a mortar team using a zoomable camera view of the map to call in strikes.
-
Airdrop Trap: A booby-trapped airdrop.
-
Ammo Resupply: An ammo reloading airdrop.
-
Escort Airdrop: A protected airdrop.

Specialist Strike Package: ???
Due to the nature of the leak, none of the information can be confirmed as official.
