\u201cThe mammoth launch of Modern Warfare 3<\/em><\/strong> and the breakout success of Call of Duty Elite<\/em><\/strong> were just the beginning.\u00a0 Call of Duty Elite<\/em><\/strong> provides an ?always-on\u2019 connection to our fanbase, and the MW3 Content Season <\/em><\/strong>is the ultimate way to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the Call of Duty<\/em><\/strong> community and provide tremendous value to Call of Duty Elite<\/em><\/strong> premium members,\u201d said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. \u201cWith the Call of Duty\u00ae: MW3 Content Season for Call of Duty Elite<\/em><\/strong> we are delivering on our promise of more new content, more often, and with more variety than ever.

The first two Content Drops will be multiplayer maps\u2014also playable in Modern Warfare 3<\/em><\/strong> Survival Mode\u2014that throw combatants into a war-torn Central Park and an Italian seaside village.\u00a0 Liberation is a vast, militarized landscape, ripe for long-range sniper and LMG fire, with mounted turrets on either end that lend power to anyone brave enough to expose themselves in exchange for deadly firepower.\u00a0 Piazza is the idyllic Italian getaway that is anything but, where tight corners and branching pathways pose great risk at every turn. Close-range combat dominates in Piazza, where attacks from behind, above and below are an ever-constant threat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The third Content Drop will be available for download in mid-February and two additional Content Drops will go live in March, as premium Call of Duty Elite<\/em><\/strong> members will receive new content once a month through September.
