They did with mw2 with a few maps, I've seen rumors they're doing it again with mw3...seems a sure thing to me.
I never understood why the developers don't bring in the previous Modern Warfare maps. Whats the problem? That sounds like a good idea to me... I'm all for new stuff, but those maps with this new game would be slick!

Yeah, pretty funny how the Christmas noobs are falling for the decoy package all over again. That won't last.
Still enjoying the game. My only real gripe is the maps. I still vastly prefer the simplicity of the mw1/2 designs. These aren't terrible, none of them make me groan like cracked or derailed, its just they're just so overdesigned.
But the mechanics of the game are still solid. Love what they did with the streaks, weapon balance and variety is good after the few tweaks they made. They've refined their formula to near perfection...now they just need to make some maps I get excited over.
It seems like they designed so many things to limit the power of assault killstreaks. Like the elevated train rails in bootleg, the broken down roads on interchange, the underground area in downturn, etc. I find the best maps for assault streaks are village and resistance.
Well, it sucks when you're on the receiving end and there's nowhere to hide. Assault streaks have been marginalized a bit but that's all for the better. It's great to no longer be constantly bombarded by AC130s and chopper gunners every game.
My only real complaint left about the streaks is the constant flow of stealth bombers. They just don't belong in that support list, period. They're fairly easy to avoid but its annoying to have to find a place to run and hide whenever you hear that drone...and in games of domination it's like 5 times a game. Its not overpowered or unbalanced...it's just annoying.
Otherwise they've set up the streaks near perfect. The assault stacking hasn't turned out to be a problem like it was in mw2. Support and specialist are both viable and fun to play with.
I love getting the escort air drop. Since I play a lot of dom, I can get 2 in one match. I always tell me team that I will get first dibs and than they can fight over the rest. Dont ever get anything too good from it though. Mostly IMS, UAV, CUAV, and Vest.
I love playing Dom against people who use that silly thing. Once someone calls it in the whole team loses their mind and go bananas over packages and makes it super easy to cap points. That thing takes ages to drop packages so I usually let it linger and let the team fall apart before I smash it out of the sky with the EMP I've been saving.
I really dig the whole endgame that creates...an escort airdrop is super powerful, but super easy to counter. Both it and the EMP can turn the tide if the other team is lax about it.
I feel in love with the recon drone last night! Mostly just for all the points that you get with it. Playing dom it also helped my team know where they were coming from on points. I would just sit on top of a point to tell them where they are coming from and how many. And the best part was getting all those easy assists for tagging them
I mostly play hardcore mode so the recon drone is mostly useless unless I have someone who constantly throws up UAVs.
But when it is useful, it is kind of fun to fly around and have the enemy try to shoot you down haha.
Recon Drone is a point guard machine. I end up with like 10-20 assists a game when equiped. They are mad annoying though, and they even have flares when you try to shoot at them. If they are low enough though, you can usually knife it.
A buddy of mine went 74-1 on one match over the weekend. Mostly killstreak kills. The noobs wouldn't shoot down his killstreaks.
My highest kill total has only been 49. Pretty lame. It was a match where I had 4 AMG's that were glitched out, I had a 33 gunstreak, and never got an moab. BS
Anyhow, I've been loving the specialist package lately. The fact that you get all your gun proficiencies as well is just awesome. I was wondering why people were dropping so quickly when I first started using this as I totally forgot that you get the gun proficienies as well.
My beef with something like the recon drone, is that while it's up, you're not doing any killing.
There's more to the game than your k/d
