The Mission Control Comlink is MW3’s answer to the Hardline Perk. Killstreaks require one less kill with this gear, making it a superb choice for beginners. With the Comlink, you can flood the sky with UAVs and litter the battlefield with low-cost Killstreaks.
The issue is that whenever you die, you must ask yourself if the other gear options would have kept you alive. Who knows how long your streak would have been if EOD Padding or the Tac Mask saved you?
