Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is attempting to reboot the original 2007 game in every sense of the word, the new game rolling out a number of decidedly “modern” updates to the series’ well-traveled gameplay. While the new experience is set to follow a much more mature and gritty depiction of military combat, it appears not everything is following this new doom-and-gloom direction. The series’ in-game Killstreaks rewards are also confirmed for a return, a number of which recently detailed by Activision.

As part of the game’s recent multiplayer showcase event, quite a few Killstreaks for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare were given official details; with 17 in total being officially confirmed. Several such as the rampaging Juggernaut suit and the multi-man Infantry Assault Vehicle were featured prominently, as was the smoke-spawning White Phosphorus drop, though, for more controversial reasons. The game’s cracking multiplayer trailer also signaled the return of the match-ending Tactical Nuke Killstreak, albeit in an unknown capacity. Check out the showcase in the video below at around 29:03, followed by a list of all confirmed Killstreaks.
