Activision has announced that the next map for Modern Warfare 3, entitled Overwatch, will land on Xbox Live for Premium Call of Duty Elite subscribers on February 21st.

Right off the bat, Overwatch brings to mind thoughts of Highrise from Modern Warfare 2. This is more due to the fact that the two maps are set on top of a skyscraper than similarities in actual map design, however. Overwatch looks to be a truly original map, rather than a rehash of Highrise. Take a look at some screenshots at the top and bottom of this page.

We'll bring you more coverage on February 21st when the map goes live!

question, are all the dlc maps only available to premium elite members.

also that map is noticiably similar to a map on Army Of Two TFD.

I don't believe they are exclusive to Premium permanently, just for a temporary amount of time. Unfortunately, Activision hasn't given any word on that yet.

I wonder how many beams/cranes can be walked along. Considering its hit and miss whether you can climb on cars, I'm not holding out much hope!

oh god, Infected nightmare map if any of those beams are accessed at one point only. Survivors can hold out for all eternity.

They'll just make it so you die instantly if you try to get on them like you do on infected now. Was playing today and wondered why 5+ people died in the first 15 seconds, then saw a line of people jumping to their deaths...

No all DLCs will eventually make it to the public. As of right now they are only released to Elite xbox users. I don't think PS3 Elite members are getting them right away. The reason xbox users get the content before PS3 users is because Microsoft bought rights to get the content before PS3!

I can't believe Xbox gets the 2nd content drop before PS3 even gets the first! Thats total bullshit!!! PS3 users are getting completely ripped off!!!

you have all failed to notice that the Overwatch map is almost completely similar to the multiplayer map in Army of Two TFD

yeah, dont have a [i]big [/i]problem with xbox getting content before ps3 if they paid for the rights but, to get the second even before ps3 get the [i]first[/i] is a bit much, we paid a lot of money to these people for the game and it does feel a bit like we bein shafted :)

yeah, all we needed was another building site :) well hardhat doesnt do anything for me running around in a circle most of the time so hope this new one is a different take

looks like a couple scrapers under construction so maybe loosely connected to the trade centre replacement i dunno.

Noticed how no one commented again? PS3 rage > Similarity.
