Activision confirmed earlier that the first DLC map pack  for Modern Warfare 3 will arrive on January 24 for Call of Duty: Elite paid subscribers. This will mark the first delivery of monthly download content for premium Elite users, with at least ’20 content drops’ promised over the following nine months.

The first DLC will include two map packs – The ‘Liberation’ and ‘Piazza’ – will as usual be released on Xbox 360 before the Playstation 3 and PC. Activision has dropped the factsheets for the DLC:

Liberation

Elite Drop 1: Liberation Map

A militarized Central Park stretches across a vast landscape, ripe for long-range sniper and LMG fire. Mounted turrets on either end lend power to anyone brave enough to expose themselves in exchange for deadly firepower. Plan out your movement and always be aware of nearby sightlines to avoid becoming fodder for the enemy.

Piazza

Elite Drop 2: Piazza Map

This seaside Italian getaway is anything but idyllic, as tight corners and branching pathways pose great risk at every turn. Close-range combat dominates, and the team that best utilizes flanking routes will most often come out on top. Attacks from behind, above and below are an ever-constant threat. Keep up your awareness and don’t get taken by surprise.
