Activision has just released the Content Collection #1 DLC pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on the PlayStation 3 platform, bringing an array of new maps and missions to owners of the platform, alongside a special Double XP weekend that starts today.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has impressed tens of millions of first-person shooter fans from all over the world since its launch last year and, starting back in January, Activision has kept on releasing new content for those who had premium Call of Duty Elite subscriptions on the Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms.

Those who had free memberships in Elite were forced to wait until last month, when the Content Collection #1 DLC was released on the Xbox 360, or until today, when that same content pack arrived on the PlayStation 3.

In case you’re not familiar with this add-on, which is the “biggest one in Call of Duty history,” according to Activision, it includes four new maps for the multiplayer and the survival modes, as well as two new ones for the Spec Ops mode.

“Armed with just this one content pack, players can choose between heading to a militarized Central Park in “Liberation,” destroying scenic vistas in a seaside Italian getaway in “Piazza,” raining glass on New York passersby from 70-stories-up in “Overwatch,” and battling beside a downed Air Force One in “Black Box.” As if that breadth of multiplayer variety wasn’t enough, fans of Special Ops can hop aboard snowmobiles to infiltrate a diamond mine in “Black Ice” or head to India, where “Negotiator” will leave the fate of hostages in their hands,” Activision said about this DLC.

What’s more, in order to celebrate the release of the Content Collection #1 add-on for Modern Warfare 3 on the PlayStation 3, players will get to enjoy a special Double XP weekend starting today, in which they’ll earn twice the amount of experience from playing online with others.
