All of the kill streaks
The Guide
So above i have provided links that will show you all of the kill streaks, what they do, which ones are best, so that you will be able to tell which ones you may want to grab when it comes time for you to grab care packages when on the capture points.
So first off your strategy.
One strategy is the hide strategy. In this strategy you basically will run onto each capture point, and for the most part just lay there. If you do not shoot your gun, typically the enemy will not see you laying there, and where you get 20 points per second, after 1 minute, you will accumulate 1,200 points. Now this does not mean you will not get kills. Because as care packages drop your goal is to grab them while laying prone so your enemy does not get them. With this each kill streak you earn you can use against the enemy and this is what will get you your kills. Following this strategy you can easily be on top of the leaderboard every single game without firing one bullet, and i proved this true the other night when me and my team were playing with each other. And for 5+ games in a row i was pretty much at the top of my teams leaderboard, and had the LEAST amount of kills on the team. Below ill tell you my real secrets to not get seen on the capture point but let me talk about another strategy first.
Strategy 2. This strategy is still capture point, but more for you to get kills, and capture. The strategy above, your kill to death ratio will go down every game, you will typically get about 10 kills and about 25-30 deaths, but this is to help the team. This strategy is more run and gun. So basically get a powerful weapon, and go near the capture point. Instead of laying prone focus more on shooting. Get sentry guns, and predators, and put all your care package rewards aimed at the capture points. Following this strategy you should easily be able to have a more than 1 kill to death ratio. Now lets talk about the best gear that you should use.
The Gear-
This is the most important thing here. The way you set you classes up is what will allow you to win easily and set you apart from the rest. THe best setup would be. Primary weapon would be a striker shotgun because its very powerful in this game mode, and allows you to get plenty of kills. Your sidearm i suggest being a javelin, this will allow you to take down helicopters, and works great for shooting towards the capture points. Your grenade class should be a sticky grenade. You can use a frag, but the sticky grenade works best so that you can hold it longer, or get it where you want. Your tactical should be one of the following. The best one to use is smoke grenade. THIS IS THE BEST. This will greatly help you, and your team hide from the enemy while being on the capture point and being unnoticed. This will also allow you to find your enemy , shoot, and stay hidden from enemies who are further away. The next tactical you can use is either a trophy system, or a tactical insertion. Both are helpful so you can help you team either by being near the capture points at all times, or preventing the explosives from hurting your team. But overall the Smoke grenade is the most important.
You three class perks should go as follows. Blind eye in perk 1. This will allow you to stay hidden from the MANY helicopters that will pop up throughout the game. This will help you to stay alive longer, and be more effective. In class 2 you should use blast shield. There are LOTS of explosives used in this game mode, so blast shield will allow you to stay alive longer, in order to get more points on the capture point. In class 3 it really does not matter. I use sitrep because this allows the player to see the fake care packages and help his team from opening a explosive crate, but the in no way means you cannot use others. I do not suggest dead silence on this map since the footsteps thing doesn't matter. But overall you should be fine if you use sitrep, or steady aim.
As far as death streaks go, i would say use martyrdom or final stand. Final stand will allow you to be able to get more points, and maybe get back up. The martyrdom will possibly take out 1 or more enemies sitting on the capture point after you die. So either of those will work best for you.
Summary
So there you have it. The basic strategies, along with classes that you should use when attempting to play Drop zone. A few notes.
I suggest using a team setting, and not playing by yourself. This will allow you to communicate the best way, and stay ahead of the other team in getting those care packages.
Remember to rush the capture. There are no kill streaks, therefore camping makes no sense. So you should get your team together and rush to the capture points every time. This will allow you to help your team, and get a better score. I guarantee you that if you go for just kills, you WILL be at the bottom of the leaderboards.
When using a predator missile. The best time is to wait until a bunch of enemies are on the capture. This happens frequently and you will be able to get up to 6 kills with one predator missile.
The only gun i suggest using was the striker. You can use other guns, and other guns will work better for different people, but the striker is extremely powerful, and beneficial to use on this game mode, and you will get many kills per clip if used right.
THE SMOKE. The smoke grenade is the MOST IMPORTANT key to your success, if the enemy cannot see you, they will not kill you, so throw a smoke and stay hidden, and i can guarantee you a lot of success.
Well there you have it, if you have any questions feel free to comment below, or ask questions. Below i will provide some links to my other useful Modern warfare 3 hubs.

i'm personally not a fan of the smoke grenade as i like to be able to see my opponents. also lying prone and not killing anyone is a great way for not getting a very good score, your better crouching in the back corner and shooting anyone who dares come near you. also going in a prvt match by yourself to scout out the hiding spots on a drop zone is benefitial as most maps have at least 1 sneaky spot (i've found 3 on arkaden). also a slayer class (strat 2) should be something with thermals so you can have superoir visiblity into the drop zone.
i agree with the striker though it is very OP. though the P90 gives more versitility
Blast shield is not a bad idea, but at most you'll survive 2 explosions, however if you switch it for quickdraw, and ditch the smoke for trophy system, you will still survive 2 explosions, possibly more. Both semtex and frag are good choices, but give C4 a chance, the blast radius is larger and will typically take out a blast shield. As for primary, the shotguns or SMGs are good, but if you want to really up you k/d consider using an automatic AR, with thermal + extended mags, or even an LMG with thermal + grip. Sitrep is a solid choice if you plan to steal care packages or if you can communicate with your entire team, but if you're using a shotgun or SMG, consider Steady-Aim instead for the increased hip fire accuracy and the pro perk of having your weapon ready sooner after sprinting. If you go thermal consider marksman. Blind Eye is the only sensible choice for Perk 1, way too many sentry guns and choppers. Personally I think the javelin takes too long to aim and fire, this is time you are outside the zone not gaining points. Maybe consider the XM25, sure the damage is less, but 4 shots before a reload will take out most enemies. Another option is the stinger. My best loadout was M4A1 + Thermal + Ext Mags, Stinger, C4, Trophy, Blind Eye, Quickdraw, Marksman, Martyrdom. Honestly the main weapon is open to personal preference, the 3 perks and equipment are the key to a reaching score over 4k, instead of only 1k.
Not a bad guide but I can still have a positive k/d every game and still be on top of the lobby
watsup tats my name
