Any word on DLC yet

FlapsOfDoom

does anyone know when this "monthly DLC" thing is gonna start?, its over a month at this stage.

Monthly DLC? This is how subscription based gaming starts. Still a map pack with some good maps would be brilliant. I was delighted when they released the COD4 maps for MW2 and be glad to see a few again as well as maybe a few MW2 maps. Some people might look at it as the easier option compared to designing new ones but if they're proven quality what's the harm?

Me personally, I'd much rather new maps than old ones! When Treyarc released the map packs on blops it was like a new lease of life for the game, cause we had something new to figure out, learn spawn points, all that kinda stuff.

If infinity ward just re-hashes old maps then its nothing new about the game.. The whole reason I get map packs is cause they have new maps, not old ones that I've already played, and if I really wanted to play maps from MW2 I would just put in the MW2 disk and play that game.

Defo don't want too see old maps again, that might be just my opinion, maybe someone will agree, I don't know..

Like I said that's just my opinion, I can definitely see the other side of the argument as well and of course I want to see new maps as well. Way I see it though is once you have the maps down and everyone knows what's going on,it's the quality maps you want to keep playing. This all just a matter of opinion anyway and I might be in a tiny minority for all I know.

I'd give one of my eyes if they gave us Trailer Park from MW2;)

IW said they would be releasing 20 items of dlc over a 9 month period so im gonna guess you'll see the start of it around January.

20 items of DLC over 9 months? Roughly how much dya think each item of DLC will cost?

Id imagine it would be 1200MSP/15 Euro for 5 maps.

I got the hardened edition for the extra 50 squids so it will eventually pay off for me :rolleyes:

We all want new maps one way or another but everybody has favourites from the previous games that they'd like to see again. If you get 4 new maps and 1 classic, its a win in my opinion!

We already have 16 maps so there shouldn't be a need for new ones. Pity about 14 of them are crap

Delboy007

sorry but does anyone know what date the 1st DLC is out?

krudler

4 new maps and a classic MW2 one would be cool, terminal! kill confirmed on that would be awesome.

They weren't going to pay for a 3 year deal for nothing. The way they dodged the question in the run up to release aswell made it obvious. PS3 premium members are going to be a long way behind xbox premium members in terms of dlc.

Is that suppose to be central park?

The elite website is so crap I can't even find the video on the new maps they keep advertising. Why in hell have an ad for a video, when clicking on the ad just brings you to another ad for the same video?

The screenshot of Park looks like it has No Mans Land on it according to that sign in the shot, the red areas, like in Berlin Wall.

DaveNoCheese

Found this, not sure what to make of it. Source here

A Reddit user, Fury Hunter, has apparently found a new Modern Warfare 3 map called “coast”. The map screenshot is from an early development stage, and it could be included in later Modern Warfare 3 map packs.

The user also discovered loading screens of maps “Strike and Crossfire” which were from Call of Duty 4. There is another map screenshot that was found that was originally called “Plaza”, however it has been renamed to Arkaden in Modern Warfare 3.

I dunno they could add in missions set during MW3's campaign, like more US based Russian invasion stuff in other cities aside from NY, I thought it could have done with one more big battle in the States since its just the first two levels that have it.

Could be a prequel mission, set back before COD4 maybe, more insight into Price. Better be feckin' epic either way

So what the hell only two maps, one for
Snipers and one that is the same as all other map in the game already. So will this be like 1,200 Microsoft points. Is there going to be any more to the DLC, and can people that did not join sh*t elite get these on the 24 Jan, as u can see I have an Xbox and don’t Xbox get all DLC before playstation.

Ahhh so mad only two maps, they are really trying to get people to give up on this game

Those two maps are for elite premium members, normal members can't get them until a whole map pack is released in March - which will consist of maybe 6 maps??
