EMP Killstreak is officially returning in Modern Warfare 3

The classic EMP Killstreak will be returning to Modern Warfare 3. It was first featured in the original MW2. Since then, the streak has only appeared in the original MW3 and Black Ops 2. It was, in fact, supposed to be a part of the rebooted Modern Warfare (2019) as well as Call of Duty: Ghosts but was later removed.

Since EMP's last appearance in the 2011 Modern Warfare series, the memorable Killstreak will be returning in the upcoming launch.

For fans who are unaware of the Killstreak, when deployed, it releases a wave of electromagnetic pulse that shuts down all enemy killstreaks on the map, be it on the ground or air. Moreover, it renders their gadgets ineffective, so they can't use any killstreak that they have owned for a set period of time.
