Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s first downloadable content collection is now available on Xbox LIVE. The MW3 Collection #1 includes four multiplayer maps and two special ops missions, that previously were only available to Call of Duty Elite Premium Members.
If you are a Call of Duty Elite premium member, you already have access to the content in this Content Collection. Redeploying with an arsenal of content unlike any in franchise history, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s first downloadable “Collection” arrives stockpiled with not only four Multiplayer/Survival Mode Maps, but two Special Ops Missions—the first time Call of Duty has ever made Special Ops downloadable online.
Armed with just this one content pack, players can choose between heading to a militarized Central Park in “Liberation,” destroying scenic vistas in a seaside Italian getaway in “Piazza,” raining glass on New York passersby from 70-stories-up in “Overwatch,” and battling beside a downed Air Force One in “Black Box.” As if that breadth of multiplayer variety wasn’t enough, fans of Special Ops can hop aboard snowmobiles to infiltrate a diamond mine in “”Black Ice” or head to India, where “Negotiator” will leave the fate of hostages in their hands. In a class of its own with half-a-dozen forms of content, Modern Warfare 3’s first downloadable “Collection” offers a range of combat and co-op the likes of which has never been seen before.
Call of Duty ELITE March DLC drops. "Black Ice", "Black Box", and "Negotiator", are now available exclusively for Xbox 360.
Elite Drop 4: Black Box
Battle beside a downed Air Force One in "Black Box." Multi-level homes overlook the neighboring streets, creating a deadly kill zone for players on the ground. With clear sight lines from house to house, however, snipers are far from safe, with counter-sniping an ever-present threat to their dominance. Those that prefer close-quarters combat can succeed in the tight confines of the crashed airplane or in hunting down enemies posted up within any of the surrounding homes
Elite Drop 5: Black Ice
Shred ice from aboard your snowmobile as you infiltrate a diamond mine in the Special Ops mission, "Black Ice." Melt more than snow when you plant high-grade explosives to shut the mine down forever. This marks the first time Special Ops has been made downloadable online in franchise history.
Elite Drop 6: Negotiator
Cash in all your karma as you head to India for high-stakes hostage extraction in "Negotiator," an all-new Special Ops mission in which you’ll breach-and-clear rooms and navigate surface streets to secure the safety of your VIPs. This marks the first time Special Ops has been made downloadable online in franchise history
Non paid Elite members will have the opportunity to download all six DLC drops March 20th, first on Xbox LIVE. You can check out the trailer for the MW3 Collection 1 below.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players will soon receive 400 new levels and five prestiges, says Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling; 400 new levels and five prestiges already added to PC version.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling (@fourzerotwo) has recently confirmed via Twitter that "400 new levels and five prestiges" have just been added to PC version of MW3. He also said that we can all expect the same on consoles soon!
Here's exactly what fourzerotwo had to say:
"Added 400 new ranks of 5 new Prestige levels in Modern Warfare 3 on PC in latest patch. Expect the same on consoles soon for everyone! #MW3".
We have also attached a few images that were circulating around the web before the official announcement. I believe they were found on the official Steam Forums.

The Call of Duty Elite DLC may be more "elite" than intended. Users on the Call of Duty forums are complaining that the DLC maps can only be played by one account per console.
That means that only the person who bought it can play the maps -- not other users of the same game on the same console, unless they share a single Xbox Live profile.
"I just tried on my other account and you are right, I cannot use the maps on the same Xbox with another gamertag even though it's all on the same xbox," notes forum user HalfericTuck, just one of many complaining fans. Reader Aaron, who alerted us to this issue, told Joystiq, "My girlfriend, whom I live with, cannot play the maps. My friend's teenage sons cannot play the maps."
This restriction does not square with the stated terms on the download. When users download the add-on, they are told, "You can use this item on the first Xbox 360 console you downloaded it to. Access to this item will also be granted to all users on this first console."
