Of course, to make the ideal set of MW3 killstreaks selections, you'll need to be aware of all the scorestreaks and how they can help you in your matches. So, let's check out every MW3 killstreak we know about so far.

How do MW3 Killstreaks & Scorestreaks work?
MW3 Killstreaks are lethal and useful abilities earned by racking up multiple eliminations in a row without dying. Before jumping into a match, players can select three killstreaks to be active at any time.
It's worth noting that MW3 also allows players to change their killstreaks to scorestreaks, allowing competitors to earn their killstreaks by capturing objectives and racking up assists. So select whichever one best fits your playstyle.
Keep in mind, just like MW2, eliminations from killstreaks do not count towards your current streak, so make sure you're in a safe area when using them.
Finally, the nuke in MW3 is not a killstreak this time and works a little differently, so check out our MGB Tactical Nuke guide so you know exactly how to earn one yourself.
