MM3 'Overwatch' out Feb 21 2012

Continuing on in the Modern Warefare 3 Content Season for Call of Duty Elite, the next content drop will be on Feb 21 2012 and is set to include 1 new map, 'Overwatch'.

Overwatch is reminiscent of MW2's Highrise, it is a "near symmetrical" two story construction site atop a New York City skyscraper.  With a center bridge and numerous side routes, and just like Highrise, no railings or walls to hold you on the map, beware of the edge.

In addition, the recent press release also gave mention to next month's content drop which will include a new multiplayer map called Black Bow and two new Spec Ops missions, Black Ice and Negotiator.

The first Modern Warefare 3 DLC will be kicking off the "content season" in January (rumor has is, XBOX360 users will have the new DLC available in the XBOX Live Marketplace on Jan 24 2012, with PS3/PC following 30 days later). With Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software all chipping in on the new DLC, it is sure to make a splash however, beyond knowing the first map is called Park, specific details are still yet to be announced.

What is 'Founder' Status?

Are you a Founder? You can still get it through the Hardened Edition.

Been wondering how other players are getting those green skull Elite titles in Modern Warefare 3? You need 'Founder' status, and unfortunately, it is not something you can just sign up for now.  If you signed up for COD Elite prior to Nov 30 2011 you would also receive a free bonus, 'Founder' status, which includes bonus content, clan XP and other goodies.  If you have not yet picked up a copy of Modern Warefare 3 or simply want to be a 'Founder', there is some good news for you.  You can still get 'Founder' status by purchasing the Hardened Edition, which comes with the appropriate code to receive your status.

Here is what is included with 'Founder' status;

• Exclusive title in Modern Warefare 3: a green skull Elite
• Exclusive emblem in Modern Warefare 3: a silver skull
• 500 clan XP: join a clan and give them a boost to level up the clan faster
• Exclusive weapon camo in Modern Warefare 3: Winter for all guns
• Private discussion group in Elite Connect
• Green skull icon and background for your COD Elite profile page
• Exclusive competitions & prizes that only Founders can enter

Call of Duty Elite Fix - 2 Weeks Out

Call of Duty Elite has had an awful launch, on occasion (if lucky), you can get it to at least launch and use some of it's very basic features.  At other times, good luck getting it to load.  But according to the publisher, a fix should be here within two weeks time.

VP of Production Daniel Suarez mentioned in a recent Game Informer interview, "Our goal is to have [Elite] up and running at 99 percent, in terms of features and stability, in the next two weeks."  He also compared Elite's issues with trying to find a space to park at a football game.
