Grain-of-salt territory here, but rumours have it that Modern Warfare 3‘s first set of premium downloadable content will feature five maps entitled “Morning Wood,” “Concrete,” “Park,” “Italy,” and “Overwatch.” The title of the first, and the fact “Overwatch” was a map in Modern Warfare 2, calls for some healthy scepticism. Modern Prestige has what it says are screenshots showing the names of the five maps in question. [h/t Dan Borenstein]

Aahaha, so they’re doing that same thing they did with MW2 and making you pay for maps that were already made. Capitalism sucks.

Sunday, November 27, 2011 at 12:48 PMI don’t know about you, but I’m not payin for it, I get it for free from CoD Elite, so any maps are fine with me, as long as they’re decent quality, and they keep coming once a month atleast like they promised.

Sunday, November 27, 2011 at 1:24 PMNo such map called Overwatch in any CoD games that I know of. The author needs to get his facts straight.

Sunday, November 27, 2011 at 2:34 PMWasn’t Overwatch a level in MW2 Spec-Ops? A two-player level with one player in a blackhawk with a minigun, the other on foot? I don’t remember a MP map called Overwatch.

Sunday, November 27, 2011 at 3:17 PMI’ve given up caring about pre-release information on things like this. When it’s released you’ll find out, and who cares anyways? Maybe it’s just the fact i’ve grown up.

Sunday, November 27, 2011 at 4:02 PMDoes it always gotta be a map from a previous game? How about some new material in my opinon I think they just want your money to line their pockets its just lazy besides I guarantee that most modern warfare 3 dlc is just old maps from the other fricken games. Nuff said.

Monday, November 28, 2011 at 12:48 PMCOD has never had the map packs on the disk… So how can this be ‘again’?

Just for shits n giggles.
