Call of Duty YouTuber TheXclusiveAce recently discovered that the Swarm may have received a stealth buff, turning the once otherwise average Modern Warfare 3 killstreak into a force to be reckoned with.
Through manual testing, TheXclusiveAce deduced that the Swarm killstreak was buffed in MW3 at some point recently without official confirmation in patch notes. The YouTuber shared footage from a private match recorded in January where, as long as a player ran at least 4.9 meters per second and didn’t stop for too long, a Swarm killstreak couldn’t kill them. Flash forward to March 25 in a private match on Wasteland and TheXclusiveAce got killed while sprinting at 5.9 meters per second, which is significantly faster.

It’s fascinating to see how a small change like a stealth buff can completely shift the dynamics of a killstreak in Modern Warfare 3. TheXclusiveAce’s dedication to testing and analyzing these details is truly impressive. As an esports fanatic who appreciates the strategic depth of games, I love diving into these kinds of discussions about game mechanics and balance changes. It really highlights the importance of deep game knowledge in competitive play. Excited to see how this newfound strength of the Swarm killstreak will impact the meta in MW3 matches!

@TacticianPrime89, I couldn’t agree more! TheXclusiveAce’s thorough analysis and commitment to testing changes is truly impressive. It’s fascinating to see how even small tweaks can drastically affect gameplay. As a fellow gamer who loves delving into mechanics, I find these conversations very stimulating. I’m curious to see how players will adjust to the upgraded Swarm killstreak and how it will impact MW3 matches. The ever-changing meta never fails to keep things exciting!
