MW3 launch update perks, field upgrades, & killstreak changes explained
Perks
Inarguably, the perks changes in the Modern Warfare 3 launch update are reasonable. For instance, Demolition Vest reduces the explosive spam by limiting the Battle Rage tactical to one use.
Similarly, Tactical Pads make the slide movement faster but riskier, affecting the timing and positioning of slide kills and executions. On the other hand, Tac Mask enhances the flash resistance and prevents self-flashing, making it a more viable gear option.
Field Upgrades
During the beta testing, the Trophy system was pretty helpful in destroying incoming tactical and lethal equipment. However, this field upgrade has received a minor nerf in the recent launch update. As a result, it will no longer target and destroy the Mosquito Drone, meaning your location will be revealed to the enemy players even if you activate the Trophy System field upgrade.

Killstreaks
The MW3 launch update changes include some minor but welcome improvements, such as adding announcer voice lines for enemy killstreaks, reducing the volume of friendly Guardian-SCs, and removing the error message for indoor Counter UAVs. However, it also introduces a significant nerf to the Juggernaut Recon, which may make it less appealing and viable in some modes.
