it seems like hacker might not be in this game if they are making a separate airdrop as a booby-trap, which was one of the main perks of using hacker. i'm hoping the escort airdrop is some sort of bombing run that includes an airdrop, because otherwise that seems pretty pointless to use.

Not necessarily just re-named though, just another in a series of re-tooling. As in yeah, you could say that Cold Blooded in MW2 was just a re-naming of UAV Jammer in CoD4, but in reality, it was a lot more than that. That's what it looks like here, is an advancement based on other new things in the game. Like the things that it said Assassin blocks, we don't even know all of them yet.
And it's always been kind of assumed that the more unique Perks usually stay IW or Treyarch exclusive, so I'd be shocked if there was anything like Hacker in this. What I'm thinking escort airdrop is is a carepackage where the helicopter defends itself upon descension, and hovers over you as you take the care package. Will be interesting to see if those kills count towards other killstreaks like MW2, or if they're going to keep Black Ops' killstreak system. Although point guard suggests they're going to go back to being killstreak happy, which I'm fine with: IW titles are always more arcade-y than Treyarch.
Although good lord, I am going to abuse point guard so bad. Because of my playstyle, I am an assist magnet. When I play with an underpowered SMG, unless they're right next to me, most of the time I'll put three shots in and a teammate will get the kill because I'm too far away. I've had many games in MW2 with the Vector (a top 3 gun for me) where I go like 15/10/2.
