Modern Warfare 3 | Last Content Drops Detailed

The end of the Modern Warfare 3 ‘Season of Content’ is fast approaching.  Activision has announced that the last two Collection (#3 and #4) packs will arrive on 9 August and 6 September as timed exclusives on Xbox 360 with PC and PS3 to follow after.  But after that, there will be no more Modern Warfare 3 treats.

Call of Duty: MW3 Collection #3: Chaos Pack offers extensive solo and co-op gameplay for the Special Ops enthusiast, featuring four brand new Special Ops Missions — Vertigo, Arctic Recon, Light ‘Em Up and Special Delivery — and FACE OFF maps — Vortex, U-Turn and Intersection. Introducing a new way to play Call of Duty®, Special Ops Chaos Mode delivers a frenetic form of combat that demands players to outlast waves of enemies, while chaining kills on maps littered in power-ups to achieve the highest possible score on fan-favorite multiplayer maps Resistance, Village, Underground and Dome.

The final act of the Call of Duty: MW3 Content Season, Collection #4: Final Assault, is tailored toward hardcore multiplayer fans, and features five all-new multiplayer maps. “Gulch” sends combatants into a forgotten mining town with mine shafts and equipment sheds for cover.  In “Boardwalk,” fun in the sun on the Jersey Shore means facing enemies on the beach.  “Offshore” and “Decommission” will test players’ sea legs on deadly oceanic oilrigs and among a maze of rotting ocean liners respectively. Rounding out the collection is a trip to the French Quarter in a war-torn New Orleans, where “Parish” pits players against one another amidst the city’s rubble.

The maps and other DLC will be made available to Call of Duty Elite Premium subscribers at earlier dates than specified, while all other Call of Duty players can expect them on the dates announced at the cost of  1,200 MS Points (or $14.99).
