Activision has announced the specifics of February’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 DLC, and it’s a new multiplayer map called Overwatch.
It will be available for premium Call of Duty: Elite subscribers with Xbox 360s on February 21. PlayStation 3 owners will have to wait about a month to see it, thanks to an exclusivity deal between Activision and Microsoft.
Overwatch is the third spluttering of Modern Warfare 3 DLC, following the release of Liberation and Piazza in January. It takes place on a New York skyscraper, which should immediately remind you of the generally excellent Highrise map from Modern Warfare 2.
Activision says the map has a near-symmetrical layout, a central bridge and is set over two storeys. It’s also possible to accidentally run straight off the building, which should make for some comedy moments.
March’s content has also been teased, and it includes multiplayer map Black Box – set at the site of a plane crash – and two new Spec Ops missions called Black Ice and Negotiator.
I handed out a 9/10 in my Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 review, and I still stand by that.
