Honestly it's just the EXO suits that make a difference imo. Though I should play it more, the not-EXO mode basically feels like MW3, on account of the horrendous balancing leading to people just leading to people resorting to the same old MW3 tactics. The maps I haven't played enough to warrant thinking about whether they have similar structure to the MW3 maps, but I'll give them credit for not going down the three corridors with entrances scattered throughout route of Blops II.

Then there's Survival which is quite literally MW3 Survival with EXO Suits.
