M.O.A.B.


 * For the similar 25 killstreak in Modern Warfare 2, see Tactical Nuke.



The  (Massive Ordnance Air Blast or Mother Of All Bombs) is a secret 25 Killstreak reward featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It is available with any Strike Package.

Overview
The M.O.A.B. is similar to the Tactical Nuke seen in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It is earned by getting a 25 kill streak (24 with Hardline), not including Strike Package kills - kills achieved through Pointstreaks do not count towards the M.O.A.B. Also, unlike with the other pointstreaks in the Support Package, the player must not die in order to obtain M.O.A.B. Unlike the Tactical Nuke in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it will not end the game. Instead, the M.O.A.B. will kill every enemy player no matter where they are on the map. It will also cause an EMP effect and eliminate all enemy equipment, electronics and pointstreaks for one minute.

A player that calls in a M.O.A.B. will also unlock Double XP for the remainder of that match for their entire team. It also gives the map a red tint that remains on the map for the rest of the game, even if another M.O.A.B. is called in.

It is highly recommended to use the Specialist Strike Package, as it will greatly improve the players chances of obtaining the 24 kills needed for it. Hardline is also automatically incorporated into the pointstreak by the time the Specialist Bonus is acquired, or even earlier depending on what perks are selected.

Trivia

 * Players will be awarded the "Toxic" callsign title after dying from a M.O.A.B., similar to MW2 where one was given the same title when killed by a Tactical Nuke.
 * There is a callsign title in Modern Warfare 2 called "MOAB" after using a nuke while the player's team is losing.
 * When a M.O.A.B. is used in the final killcam, it will show the M.O.A.B. owner's first person view.
 * The M.O.A.B. will not kill the player who launched it and their team.
 * When viewing the killcam after being killed by the M.O.A.B., the map will always appear with the red tint the M.O.A.B. creates, even if it takes place before the detonation.
 * There are challenges for getting the M.O.A.B., but they cannot be viewed in the Challenges section.
 * If you watch a M.O.A.B. go off in theater mode you only see the part of the map (where the M.O.A.B. is called in) as grey smoke, like a smoke grenade.
 * The aquisition sound for the M.O.A.B is the same as aquiring the Tactical Nuke from Modern Warfare 2.
