In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which gives you more XP? A kill or calling in a killstreak? Is the XP gained different for different killstreaks?

(I'm trying to decide whether it is better, XP-wise, to be a specialist and get more kills, or choose assault/support to get more killstreak rewards)

Answer 1

Calling in a killstreak reward will grant you 100+ xp, equivalent to one or more extra kills (the amount of xp granted increases per level of the killstreak, for example, a sam turret is worth 150 xp and a UAV is worth 100 xp).

In addition, you'll also gain extra xp based on how well the killstreak performs (if it's capable).

For example, a UAV will always just grant you 100 xp, but an attack chopper will give you the xp granted for calling it in (can't remember off the top of my head) plus an extra 100 xp per kill it makes.

Calling in offensive kill streaks is a great way to earn xp, but you have to be consistent enough to get killstreaks often, otherwise going support is a good choice as you'll keep moving on to the next kill streaks even if you die.

Answer 2

Here's details on the point system: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/XP

Base Award - XP gained for each individual kill: 100 in Team Deathmatch and Sabotage, 500 in Search and Destroy, 200 in Cage Match (third person) and 50 in other modes.

Calling in a killstreak reward: +100 for 3-4 killstreaks (UAVs or Counter-UAVs), +150 for 5
