New Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 content hits Xbox Live today

Activision is releasing this month’s batch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 content on Xbox LIVE today.

Premium Call of Duty: Elite subscribers will get two new multiplayer maps, whereas non-premium subscribers (or PS3 and PC owners) will get absolutely nothing whatsoever.

Sanctuary, the seventh Modern Warfare 3 content drop, is set in a Grecian monastery built by ancient monks or something. Foundation, the eighth bit of content, takes place in a decommissioned concrete factory in South Korea.

“Suspended in the air one thousand feet up,” says the official description for Sanctuary, “you’ll battle more than altitude in the towering sandstone monasteries of Central Greece. Formed over millions of years, this sanctuary’s natural rock pillars have repelled invading armies and withstood the ravages of time but now they’ll face your deployment. Test your skills – and the ancient monks’ craftsmanship – with your arsenal of SMG’s, assault rifles and shotguns. Just remember: don’t look down.”

But what about Foundation, Activision? “Journey into the heart of South Korea for a decommissioned concrete factory where the cement flows and bullets fly. After decades of constructing roads and buildings, the towering facility is now a perfectly-constructed combat zone for sniping and run-and-gun rules of engagement. Don’t stand in awe of the towering concrete crusher at the center of the factory unless you want to see your kill ratio meet the same fate.”

Last week an irate Tom Orry took Pearson’s family hostage and forced him and me to play the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Collection 1 at gunpoint for our new Super Extended Play series. Or maybe that was just the game?
