True, Call of Duty content has a history of hitting the Xbox 360 before it comes to the PC or Playstation 3, but I can see why some people hoped that a paid membership into Call of Duty Elite’s premium service would change that.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t, it just adds another layer.
Today, Activision unveiled a nine-month schedule for new content coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 starting this month and running through to September. All of this content comes with a $50 Elite membership, or can be purchased separately, one piece of content at a time. The schedule will include at least “20 content drops.”
Content drops is another way of saying “not just new maps.” The content will include new maps, but you’ll also get new game modes, Special Ops missions and other unannounced things.
During the first three months of 2012, Activision plans to release five different content drops on three occasions. The first two will be multiplayer maps Liberation and Piazza.
All of the content will hit on Xbox Live first, followed by “additional platforms at a later time.”
I know this is the way Activision has been operating for awhile now, but I had hoped that Premium Elite was going to create a new sort of level playing ground across all platforms.
