Kill Confirmed

Kill Confirmed is a new gametype appearing in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which was announced at Call of Duty XP. The game mode is similar to Team Deathmatch, with two teams competing against each other to earn kills. When an enemy player is eliminated, they will drop a set of Dog-tags on the spot where they were killed. When collected, they will add one point to the team's score. Points are not added for kills.

These Dog-tags must be collected to contribute to a particular team's score. Dog-tags may also be picked up from enemies that player's team-mates have killed.

This is known as confirming a kill. Each kill confirmed gives the specific player's team a point. Players can also stop enemies from getting points by picking up the dog-tags from their own eliminated team-mates. This is known as denying a kill. The team with the most points at the end of the game, or the first team to 65 points; is declared victorious. If a player kills an enemy, they will still earn XP and points for their Strike Chain for the kill, regardless of whether the kill is confirmed or denied. The only way to get points for your team however is to collect the dog tags.

If the dog-tags are colored yellow, it means they were dropped by an enemy, therefore will give the specific player viewing the dog-tags a point for their team if they are picked up.

If the dog-tags are colored red, it means they were dropped by a team-mate, therefore will deny the enemy team a point if picked up by the specific player viewing the dog-tags.

Only dog-tags earned by the player are shown on the minimap.

Trivia

 * The dog-tags say "Simon "Ghost" Riley" on them. Underneath it says 1-23-2011 which may mean he got his Dog tags on January 23, 2011.
