New Maps for MW3

New DLC Available on 4/13/2012 – ELITE Premium Players Only!

You will be able to download the latest map Blackbox and the two new Spec-Ops Missions – Black Ice and Negotiator on 4/12/2012 – This week!

When Will Collection 1 Be Available for PS3 Players?

And if your wondering when regular Non-ELITE players will be able to get it for PS3? I had originally thought in April – but with it only dropping for ELITE Premium now? My guess will be mid-May. 

What Do ELITE Premium Players Get to Download This Week?

You will get one new Multiplayer Map – Blackbox and 2 Spec-Op “Missions” Black Ice, and Negotiator.  Check out the info on map info below in case you missed them before.

Black Box

MW3 Map Blackbox

Battle beside a downed Air Force One in “Black Box.” Multi-level homes overlook the neighboring streets, creating a deadly kill zone for players on the ground. With clear sight lines from house to house, however, snipers are far from safe, with counter-sniping an ever-present threat to their dominance. Those that prefer close-quarters combat can succeed in the tight confines of the crashed airplane or in hunting down enemies posted up within any of the surrounding homes.

Spec Ops Missions

Black Ice

MW3 Spec Ops Black Ice

Shred ice from aboard your snowmobile as you infiltrate a diamond mine in the Special Ops mission, “Black Ice.” Melt more than snow when you plant high-grade explosives to shut the mine down forever. This marks the first time Special Ops has been made downloadable online in franchise history.

Negotiator

MW3 Spec Ops Negotiator

Cash in all your karma as you head to India for high-stakes hostage extraction in “Negotiator,” an all-new Special Ops mission in which you’ll breach-and-clear rooms and navigate surface streets to secure the safety of your VIPs. This marks the first time Special Ops has been made downloadable online in franchise history.

Modern Warfare 3 Elite

           Okay, so after the incredibly long waiting period for Modern Warfare 3 to actually come out I also decided to buy the Elite edition only to find out that I would have to wait even longer in order to access my account due to high server traffic.  This made me so mad, not only did I pay 50 dollars for something I can't use, I actually was looking forward to the tournaments the game was offering.  

After going onto MW3 website I found that I was put on a waiting list of sorts so that they could build server strength to support all those who wanted to try this highly anticipated feature. Thats another thing, how did they not know that people will want to try something that is "new."  Xbox said the same thing when Kinect came out "oh, we didn't know people would like it, so we really didn't invest time or money into it, but we'll get back to you on that."

          Anyways,  TWO WEEKS LATER I was able to finally get into Elite only to find that I was going to be pissed off.  They didn't tell you that these so called competitions would be held at weird times and that you have to apply or give an entry to enter.  What's with this!?  I just want to play and win, i don't want to have to wait for players or a playing time...I want to play now!  Anyways apart from this if you look at it from a map standpoint its worth it because you will be getting all the maps and any other download they come out with.  There is also a stats page which seems kinda weak to me, I can't believe they made you pay for the same stats you get in Black Ops for free.

         So...I guess its up to you if your going to get the Modern Warfare Elite edition.   My opinion would be that if you play a lot and you know your going to get the new maps anyway I would just buck up and buy it.  If your on the fence then run the other direction because I know you will not be please with your purchase.

Modern Warfare 3 Online Multiplayer

     

        After the long anticipated wait for Modern Warfare 3 it finally came out!  To be honest I had very high expectation on what this game will bring to the table.  Of course I became mildly disappointed with the lack of anything really new, but as we all know good games are about playability and this game has it.  Of  course the graphics are reminiscent of what we saw in Modern Warfare 2.  Also it seems that there is a lack of team cooperation which makes me angry(YOU ARE PLAYING A WAR GAME ACT LIKE A SOLDIER!)

      

            My favorite part of the new game would be the wide variety of care packages you can choose from.  They have assault packages which help you get kills and support packages to help assist your team or fool the enemy.  Also they have a specialist class which instead of giving you any type of support they give you extra perk (ex.slight of hand, marathon and sit rep.) 

        I forgot to tell you....If you actually survive through all your kills, kill streak will reset and you will have an opportunity to get them unlocked again.  I have also hear that if you get through the list twice that it unleashes an easter egg on the other team and blows them the smithereens!  Overall I am very excited about the multiplayer and know that I'll probably play this one as much as I do MW2.  Hopefully you will agree. I'll get back to you about what Call of Duty Elite is, very very soon.

Call of Duty Black Ops Map Pack

The time has come my geek friends!  New maps are just around the corner.  On Tuesday(Feb.2) Treyarch will release the highly anticipated map pack for Call of Duty Black Ops.  Of course not only will the be giving us nerds 4 highly compelling maps but also a new and improved Nazi map, which from my opinion looks like the best one yet.

First map Berlin Wall.  This map takes place at checkpoint Charlie which if you don't know was the safe zone between the 2 different sides of the wall in which all allied defense would have a safe zone.  This will be a medium sized map with a lot of building circling a court yard.  I really hope that most of these houses allow you to go inside to set up camp and start sniping.  Watch out for the center of the map though...I'm sure if this map is anything like the other call of duties you need to beware of where you are and where your cover is...being in the center of the map is probably not a good idea.

Second map Discovery.  We set the scene in a Antarctic research facility...From what I hear this map may be sniper heaven.  With long lines of sight we may finally be able to snipe without worrying about getting assaulted within 5 seconds of putting our scopes up.  Again watch out for the center of the map...What I hear is that there is a bridge which will probably act as the main choke point...soooo Beware!

3rd Map Kowloon.  This map comes out of the campaign.  There seems to be a lot of windows and open spots to pop your head out of to get a quick shot.  This again will probably end up being sniper/camper paradise, which I have to say is awesome..I'm tired of running around to find a kill I'd rather just post up and let the noobs run into my sights.

Stadium is our 4th and final multi-player map.  This takes place in middle America at a hockey rink.  This map is supposed to be medium sized mostly for assault I think.  To me urban warfare is really where we are headed today so having a gun battle in the middle of a hockey rink is just up my alley.  There seems to be a lot of cover so make sure you check your corners!





Now Ascension is the new and improved zombie map.  All I know is that this map will truly be a challenge and there will be a lot of interactive aspects of the map

Well thats all I know for now...I hope everyone is as excited as I am!
