Modern Warfare 3’s Map Pack 2 has been announced and will be released on February 21st, 2012. The first 3 screenshots of this new DLC map pack is from the map called “Overwatch.”
As we reported back on November 10th, 2011 that Modern Warfare 3 would get 20 DLC packs over the course of 9 months, Activision/Infinity Ward has now released more information on this, when, early access to Elite subscribers and more!
Activision announced that 20 content packs are planned for release throughout the year, starting this month.
Modern Warfare 3 fans can expect a wide variety of DLC packs, such as your standard map packs, additional maps for the “Spec Ops” mode, and even extensions to Modern Warfare 3‘s singleplayer campaign.
“With the Call of Duty: MW3 Content Season for Call of Duty Elite we are delivering on our promise of more new content, more often, and with more variety than ever,” said Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg in a statement.
“With three studios collaborating on the first season, the breadth and depth of material on tap is truly extraordinary. It’s rare you can successfully execute both quantity and quality, but thanks to the expertise of our developers, the reach of Call of Duty Elite and the passion of our fans, we intend to deliver.”
The season of Modern Warfare 3 content starts on January 24th with the release of the game’s first map pack that includes 2 new maps called Liberation and Plazza. These 2 maps will of course be available for multiplayer but as well as Spec Ops mode.
Activision says that each content drop, of which there will be 5 between January and March, will be made available to Call of Duty Elite subscribers on Xbox 360 first. Non-subscribers will have the option to pay for the DLC, and PC and PlayStation 3 users will get the content at a later date.
Infinity Ward has posted these new screenshots below of the new maps in the first DLC map pack to arrive for Modern Warfare 3 on January 24th.
These 2 new maps are called Liberation and Plazza. The map pack will arrive first on Xbox 360 exclusively for a small time period and ELITE subscribers will get first access to it before non-ELITE subscribers can purchase and play them. Those players on the PS3 or PC platform will have to wait longer, likely around a month, to play these new maps.
The Call of Duty ELITE App is now available for iOS. You can download it here. It will be coming to the Android Market next week between Monday, January 16th and Friday, January 20th. We will publish that story as well once it is available.
The mobile app is free for all Call of Duty ELITE members and includes your Career Summary, Recent Matches, Challenges, and gives you the ability to push custom classes directly to your console. With access to mobile, you can take Call of Duty ELITE wherever you go.
We will have screenshots of the app once it is available for Android along with a small review showing you all the features mentioned above just in case you happen to not be an ELITE subscriber yet or happen to want to know what it looks like or maybe you just do not happen to have a smartphone yet.
Robert Bowling has informed us on Twitter that Modern Warfare 3 will be getting an update to its spawn logic system tonight at 2AM PST/4AM CST/5AM EST on January 6th, 2012. This will improve when, where and how you spawn so “Goodbye revenge spawns” as Robert Bowling says.

Have you ever been curious as to what Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 3’s Ban hammer App (BanDialog) looks like? Well now you can, thanks to Robert Bowling himself for tweeting a picture of it, shown below.
The following options are in the application:
Also if you look to the left side of the image, you can see a list of players that are getting the ban, while it might only be 2 days or not is unknown but at least Infinity Ward is showing they are active to keeping the game as clean as they possibly can until either they decide to stop months down the road or the next Call of Duty comes out.
Here are some of the Xbox Live gamertags from the left side list in the image: COD IVIMONST3R, iB DrEaMz, xxBEEWEEZEExx, focon noir, kNOwN2a1l, Rubinho vlc, Pashm, iBeKillinEm26, R E A L I Z E i, TryHard Life, SprayurF8ce, MSG ME FOR HEAD, renny top shot, Brick My Xbox, PrettyJjackson, AjStylez, x MR WHITE xx, Sucio AuGor v2, NsKz Is Clutch, AfootBalloon2, TITAN 559, Aim Da Shooter, mr clean69, soulreapersteve, CAMPTASTIC420, Jah Workss, Morrrrrrrron, Yourself1994, Orsly33, and a few more that are pretty much unreadable without putting more work into it.
