New content coming to Call of Duty: MW3.
Collection 3 Chaos pack arrives on Xbox 360 8/7 & includes: 4 New Special Ops missions, 3 Face Off maps & Brand New Survival Chaos mode!
Collection 4 Final Assault arrives on Xbox 360 9/6 & includes 5 New multiplayer maps: Decommission, Off Shore, Gulch, Boardwalk, Parish.
I thought they were done with the Face Off maps.
There are no more face off maps for Elite, but they are putting the 3 from June into Content Collection 3 along with 4 missions and Chaos mode.
off shore and decommission is out already
Off Shore and Decommission are already out for Elite, but they will be released for general purchase with Content Collection 4 in September along with the 3 Sept Elite maps.
When do eilte premium members get it? The same day? Why did I pay for elite...
Elite premium get the August drop this coming Tuesday (7th).
September's Elite drop hasn't been announced yet but I'm sure it'll be Sept 4th.
EDIT: Actually on the calendar it says available 9/5 which is really weird. I think it was probably a typo.
Actually if you expand them you'll see the Elite dates. We (Elite members) get the Sept 3 on the 5th. A whole day before! So much for 30 days exclusives for premium. I guess they realized just how much it was dilluting the playlist numbers. ![]()
Not too sure. I am sure we will get them earlier, they were just making a general announcement about the last two DLC packages. Most of these maps are already out for Elite, and I am sure the ones that haven't been released yet will be before the packs drop.
Actually, reading that we get a drop on August 7th with the Spec Ops Maps and the new mode.
I can honestly say the DLC content, and the way in which it was released was the biggest failure in COD history. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
I wish they would have just stuck with map packs and charged people for space to have their videos stored on the Elite servers. Seems like a better plan to me. I'm not really getting my money's worth on the Elite.
what if you don't store videos... or give two flying craps about youtube...
Lol, I havent purchased any DLC for MW3, it never looked good to me, and the game itself is severely flawed. Historically, I have only bought 2 CoD DLCs, the one for COD4, and the final one for Black Ops, Annihilation. I'm not much for DLC for any game.
When it comes down to it, Spec Ops is trash, it was better in MW2, but its still drastically inferior to Zombies. Survival mode is just as bad, not even worth playing unless you want the achievements. Survival chaos mode? Yeah, dont care, wont be better than Zombies.
Fortunately, DLC is and always will be optional.
So for August we are just getting spec ops missions and thats it? Or am I reading that wrong.
You're reading it right. August is 2 missions and the new version of survival mode. No multiplayer stuff.
While I agree that Spec Ops missions shouldn't count as full pieces of DLC I don't think they're trash. I think most people who play multiplayer and zombies underestimate how many people enjoy not just survival mode but also the missions and the campaign.
Still though, look at the content they've added post-release:
12 multiplayer maps (playable in survival)
5 face off maps
8 missions
1 new mode
1 free multiplayer map
2 free face off maps
4 free game modes (infected, drop zone, face off, FFA gunplay)
That is quite a bit. On top of that they've stayed very much on top of cheaters, hackers, exploits, updates, buffs, nerfs, and generally good support. In my opinion IW/Sledgehammer/Activision have done quite a bit to show that they care about their customers. I think this rivals what Treyarch did last year on most fronts and edges ahead a bit in a couple places.
And to think we were only promised 20 pieces of DLC. IW came up big on DLC this time.
This is complete trash.
Stop the god damned Spec Ops missions (which are all half-assed) and the face off maps.
This is the first game that has had me feeling completely ripped off in my 15+ years of gaming (and I own a damn Wii LOL).
Agreed... give us multiplayer maps that aren't faceoff.. biggest ripoff in CoD history that's for sure.. done with Elite after this years subscription. Waiting for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and MW3 is out of the picture until BOII comes out. At least give the hardcore mode players an option to use the faceoffs maps instead of giving everything to Core, wtf do these developers do all day?
this months cool i cant wait for next month tho we get 3 new multiplayer maps and they need to make the face off maps 6 player free for all that would be cool and for everybody whose a hater on COD go play battlefield because even with this games flaws call of duty is the ish
