Call of Duty ELITE March DLC drops. "Black Ice", "Black Box", and "Negotiator", are now available exclusively for Xbox 360.

Call of Duty ELITE March DLC now available on Xbox LIVE

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.


Modern Warfare 3’s Content Season will include more than 20 pieces of brand new content over the 9 month season. The full calendar of content is outlined here - http://www.callofduty.com/contentcalendar.

If you are already a Call of Duty Elite Premium member, the above content and all previous content is included as part of you subscription. For more of 360-HQ's previous coverage on MW3 please visit our Xbox 360 Games database/hub linked below.

The third Content Drop in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s Content Season for Call of Duty Elite, Overwatch, is now available for Premium Members on the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty Elite Drop 3: Overwatch drops you into a construction site atop a New York City skyscraper. The battle takes place along two levels in a near symmetrical layout, with the central bridge and side routes open to attack from multiple angles. Watch your every step, as a lack of safety barriers surrounding the perimeter leaves nothing between you and a 70 story fall to the ground below.

CoD: Modern Warfare 3 receives 5 more prestige levels

CoD: Modern Warfare 3 receives 5 more prestige levels

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.

Modern Warfare 3 Elite maps locked to one profile on one console

Modern Warfare 3 Elite maps locked to one profile on one console
Published by: forahobby on Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Tagged: Gaming, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

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."
