Call Of Duty Elite Premium Maps Come To PS3 On February 28

Modern Warfare 3's First DLC Coming To Xbox Live On January 24 -- First Screenshot Of

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer mode got two new maps at the end of last month, Liberation and Piazza, but only for those who are Call of Duty Elite subscribers. PlayStation 3 owners had to wait because of that whole "first on Xbox" thing with Duty's DLC, and now a press release reveals an official launch date for the premium content on Sony's console: February 28.

Liberation is set in a war-torn version of New York City's Central Park and Piazza is set in the tight stairwells and walkways of a sunny Italian villa. Xbox 360 users will be getting another content drop in February and then two more in March; PS3 users can presumably work with the same calendar, only with everything happening a month later.

I've gotta admit, this whole delayed release thing for subscription-based premium content is pretty strange. I personally tend to do my multiplayer gaming on my 360, but it seems silly that PS3 players have to wait an extra month to access content that they've already paid extra for. This is Activision's first crack at a subscription DLC model for Call of Duty; hopefully, somebody realizes that timed exclusivity really only makes sense with a la carte DLC by the time the next game rolls around.

    @Cooperjs1 so true in my opinion Elites a waste of money and space and yes i can verify there are a bunch of 12 yr olds on MW3 making my experience less than enjoyably right now playing MW3 seems like a chore !!

    What really sucks is that Non-elite members can't get the new maps for a while. All this means is that all the losers that play the game 16 hours a day in their mom's basement get an even bigger advantage over the normal, casual player. I use to buy map packs for these games. With diehard 13-year olds getting an advantage cause their mom buys them elite, I don't see the point. I would not be able to catch up to the the elite members. Therefore, Activision, you just bit yourself in the ass.

    I think that if all the PS3 CoD players sign a partition stating that we will not be picking up the next CoD game if Activision renews their contract with Microsoft for the 360 to get the DLC first, I would imagine it would work wonders and harm their sales greatly if it happened

    Paying for content and not receiving it? Hopefully this will be the final straw to get people to dump this awful series.

    So it sounds like the PC version is just an after-thought now. Way to alienate some of your fan base...

    COD ELITES not worth the 50$ ive seen the content calender id say there is gonna be only 3 map packs out for MW3, 3 maps and a new specops scenario in each

    If you look @ it this way $15 for each map times 3 equals $45 compared to just getting Elite for the maps which really is a big waste and ive seen people doing so,, so dont its not worth it unless your Heavily clan dedicated !

    With Elite still being buggy would you still shell out $50 for it knowing if you use microsoft points or PSN netork cards to get the maps for only a total of $45?

    You actually save $5 that way !

    If this news upsets you, good. You should be playing Killzone or UC3 anyway.

    " I personally tend to do my multiplayer gaming on my 360"

    what was the point of even saying that? What does your system of preference have to do with anything?

    meh, not buying them anyway. i believe the dlc maps coudl've been completed and put on the disc if the developer really wanted to. the only reason it's not, is to milk ppl of their money. but that's just my opinion
