46 Comments

PlayStation 3 gamers eager for new Modern Warfare 3 maps now have a release date to mark on their calendars. Activision today announced that the Modern Warfare 3 content season for PS3 Call of Duty: Elite premium members begins on February 28 with two new maps.

Modern Warfare 3 DLC deploys for PS3 gamers this month.
Modern Warfare 3 DLC deploys for PS3 gamers this month.

Those with a paid subscription to Call of Duty: Elite can grab two new maps--Piazza and Liberation--on February 28. This is the same content that was made available to Xbox 360 gamers last month.

Activision did not mention when the maps will be made available to all PS3 Modern Warfare 3 players. However, the publisher said the first "content collection" will arrive sometime after its Xbox 360 debut in March.

Looking ahead, PS3 Call of Duty: Elite premium members can expect new Modern Warfare 3 content to arrive through October. For a full breakdown of what to expect, and when to expect it (relative to its initial launch for the Xbox 360), check out the Modern Warfare 3 content calendar.

The Call of Duty: Elite subscription service reached the 1-million-paid-users milestone within the first month of its November launch. Elite provides players with gameplay statistics, video sharing, and clan support features for free. Those who shell out for the $50 annual subscription will also receive all downloadable content released in the year, as well as exclusive video content and other perks

Thanks Activision, I guess I will not be getting the DLC until whenever they release it to the people that don’t want to get ripped off by becoming an Elite member. I guess they needed an extra 50million for this COD since they don’t make enough on the rest of their games. Guess it’s time to go back to my other games....

So basically the only DLC the COD franchise will ever produce are map packs? No new perks or weapons? Not even a new level cap of 100? Then the DLC aint really worth it?

Who would buy a map pack in October when the new one will be out the next month? :? " @DennisWZH i dont play MW3, but i find it funny how PS3 MW3 player tolerate with this kinda thing, activision clearly dont care about you so why do you still support them by buying their COD games?" Microsoft has a timed exclusivity deal with Activision that lasts through 2012. That either means that MW3 will be the last CoD title that 360 users will get maps earlier on, or that the next CoD game will be unless Microsoft renews the agreement in some way.

Activision used to be such a respected company. I guess that's what money does to people. :/ They're not getting money from me anymore because of the greedy B-tards they have turned into. What a shame. Even many Xbox owners would agree.

Wow. These people are paying a hefty subscription fee and what do they get for it? A month long delay for the content they paid for, just because they picked a different console. What a load of crap. Just another reason never to get anything from Activision.

Resorting to news about Call of Duty is a reliable way to rake in some views, as far as Eddie Makuch is concerned. Plenty of passengers still left on the Call-of-Duty-hate train - source of views. :P

I never planned on buying the DLC but this makes me sad to be a gamer. PS3 users get screwed over because MS paid to get DLC first simply to brag about it and now Sony users have to wait and wait even longer if they didn't shell out $50 for elite and they don't even mention us PC gamers. I miss the days of last gen when developers made all version of the game the same regardless of what console you got it on. Developers and publishers back then were just happy you bought their game so they put all they could into that game so you would buy it. Now its seems you have to buy the version for the publishers consoles of choice to get the most out of your game.

@x_hunter00 You obviously never played any of those games so no one wants to hear your uneducated opinion.

*sighhhhh*.... this game has the worst map designs i ever played for a first person shooter. maps are small, cramp, and linear, you constantly die it's not fun at all... oh and the respawn system plays a part in this too. i dont know but seeing gameplay videos of the new maps, it seems that they are still flawed in design. i feel sorry for those who will fork out cash for the game/maps... :(

In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet and people still haven't realized that Activision made a deal with Microsoft for the 360 to get COD DLC first. Also Battlefield and Call of Duty fanboys battling it out AGAIN. Here's Mary with the weather.

"What's different about BF3 than BF:BC2?" ...."Uhh the graphics are so much better, that new engine is awesome!"...."Ok, what else?"......."Well, uhhh, umm..." "So basically you paid $60 for what amounts to a new graphics card.......Good job."

the good thing is that I didn't buy the "Elite" reasons are because I am not paying 50 bucks (I dont even know what the heck I have to do) and we have to wait for the DLC to release in a month which i found it not fair..

I got MW3 on release date and I play the multiplayer every now and then, but no where near enough to buy DLC for it... to be honest I think the 16 maps on the disk is enough, especially for someone who maybe plays it once every week or two

Because of this wait it will be the VERY LAST COD game I ever buy......there is no excuse that a PAID ELITE member should have to wait for the DL content no matter what system they are playing on. It would be different if it was not a PAID service. ALL PS3 users got SCAMMED!!!! BOYCOTT COD PS3 USERS!!!!!

Sooo basically ps3 users were double scammed into buying elite because its not only useless but you get the same content a month later than the 360! Cod users fall for this and mw3 is really the worst mw out of all mw's!

good thing i wasn't suckered into buying elite... from what i saw of these two maps piazza is only decent at best.... liberation is a snipers map, a thing i would have enjoyed if it was black ops. but seeing as all these damn quickscopers have been getting used to close combat situations they'll feel right at home, and i'll rage quit lol but i still have time to ponder if i want to buy these 'content collections' around april
