Can Drop zone Offer A lot of Points in MW3 and Help up your Level You do Get.

Drop zone was originally a private match type in call of duty: modern warfare 3, the popularity of the mode brought it into the community playlist on multiplayer. This is a very heavy action packed mode and if you are concerned with your kill/death ratio you might want to stay away from it. The purpose of dropzone is to hold the red smoke area and get the care packages before the enemy team can grab them. You get 20 points ever few seconds just for holding the zone and more when you get the packages. Each care package varies in what it can contain but you have a chance of getting everything that would normally come in one.
Dropzone can also be utilized for anyone looking to level up fast as you get a lot of points and normally can find the enemy team around the dropzone. For a player who knows how to get the drop on enemies they can use this to their advantage and when the enemy team piles up on the smoke you can take them out with bullets and frags.
Dropzone has become a community favorite and was recently removed due to a new mode coming into play 'infected' but with all the complaints dropzone has returned. Many players rush into the zone to grab the care packages and get some good kills in, but sometimes it is best to sit just outside the area and pick off your enemies as they approach the zone. This can get you a lot of good points and also keep your team safe.
Smaller maps make it more challenging to get to the dropzone as the fighting to constant and for this reason you should try and communicate with your team in order to hold the zone.
The Class
For anyone looking to grab the red smoke and hold it for packages you might want to think about your class a little bit. This would include using the trohpy near you to stop incoming frags, stickies and other tossed explosives. Smoke helps to conceal you in the dropzone and can keep you hidden for a few seconds while you are opening up your package. The ACR is a great weapon to use in this mode as it fires fast and doesn't have a lot of kick and recoil coming from it. Bouncing Betties and claymores are also good defense around the zone. This can be used to capitalize on quick kills of enemies rushing the area.
For the perks anything that helps to keep you off the radar will come in hand and also will allow for you to get those needed points you are looking for.
Can I level up in one match?
Depending on how close you are to your next rank and how many kills and how long you hold a majority of the drop zones you can go up a rank in a single game. If you have a prestige token open you could also use double xp and go up two ranks in a single game and doing this for two hours you could average out about six ranks. Dropzone offers a lot of points to go out among the players and of course the better players will be at the top with the most points.
Still even the noobie players can find themselves moving up in points as they learn the game and the mode. Dropzone is a unique experience for any and all players and no two maps for dropzone are the same. If you get to know the red smoke location on each map you will be unstoppable as you can get to the next location before the enemy and start picking players off one at a time.
Final Thoughts
I have played many hours of dropzone and from that I have gone up a few ranks per game. The longer you hold the zone without getting killed the better. If you get care packages and utilize them the proper way you will end up with even more points. Century guns, remote turrants, IMS can all come in handy around the drop zone adding safety and protection to you and your team.
Remember that dropzone is probably the only mode in call of duty: modern warfare 3 that takes away your killstreak rewards and offers them for free. You also have to remember that knowing the maps and getting the hang of what to do and where to place items is going to greatly improve your chances of getting a lot of points.
