New Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 DLC Coming to PS3 This Month

Activision has revealed when new DLC will be released for owners of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on the PlayStation 3, confirming that those with Call of Duty Elite premium subscriptions will receive two new multiplayer maps and a Spec Ops mission on August 16.

Modern Warfare 3 has been heavily supported through all sorts of new maps and content by Activision and its various internal studios.

Now, after releasing new DLC for the game on the Xbox 360, in the form of the Decommission and Offshore multiplayer maps, as well as the Vertigo Spec Ops mission, the company has confirmed that PS3 owners with Elite premium subscriptions will also get the new levels this month.

According to the company, they’ll all be available for download, free as always, on August 16 via the PlayStation Store.

In case you forgot about these two maps and the Spec Ops mission, check out their descriptions below.

Decommission
A graveyard of rotting ocean liners has not only given birth to a shantytown of locals, but a mid-sized Multiplayer Map populated in chokepoints; providing the perfect setting for shoreline-based combat.

Offshore
Trapped on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, you have nowhere to go but directly at your enemies in this new Multiplayer map boasting helipads, cranes, and countless perches for snipers eager to pick off the competition. Did we mention to look down or else you may fall off?

Vertigo
The luxurious “Oasis” hotel in Dubai hosts the latest Special Ops mission, in which players must use laser-guided RPG’s to dispatch waves of helicopters. Utilize rooftop advantage to defend from waves of enemies, before parachuting to a ground-level exfil point.

Besides this new content, owners of Modern Warfare 3 on the PlayStation 3 are also set to receive the free Terminal map on August 16, if they are Elite members, and August 17, if they’re regular players.
