Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer: All Equipment, Gear & Perks Listed

Call of Duty's perk and equipment system offers players more ways to customize their gameplay, and in Modern Warfare 3 there's a whole selection of gear to make use of. In a recent blog post, Activision went over all of the equipment and perks players can expect to see in Multiplayer, some of which will likely seem a bit familiar.

Below, we'll go over everything you can work into your loadouts as part of Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer. Note that you'll unlock loadouts at Player Level 4.
