Activision has just deployed three new content drops for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on the Xbox 360, available exclusively to premium Call of Duty Elite subscribers.

Modern Warfare 3 receives DLC in a different way than previous Call of Duty games, as Activision is releasing fresh content in the form of drops instead of actual packs, like before.

After deploying three new multiplayer maps throughout January and February, the company has now launched not just another new level for the competitive multiplayer, but also two new missions for the Spec Ops cooperative mode.

Check out the full details about the new content drops, in the form of Black Box, Black Ice, and Negotiator, below.

Elite Drop 4: Black Box  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

Elite Drop 5: 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.

Elite Drop 6: 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. 

The new DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is available for download on the Xbox 360 right now, albeit only for those with a premium Call of Duty Elite subscription.

Regular Elite members will have to wait until next week, on March 20, when Modern Warfare 3 on the Xbox 360 gets the Content Collection #1 map pack, which comprises all previously released maps.
