Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 DLC Starting to Become Open to All

After a period of exclusivity for ELITE subscribers, new MW3 multiplayer maps and modes are here for everyone on Xbox Live (and coming soon to PS3).

MW3 players who subscribed to the ELITE service have been living large, getting to sample new maps and game modes before everyone else. That has started to end, as on Tuesday all content drops were made available to everyone playing on Xbox 360, and they’ll be on their way shortly for PS3.

Jeff is currently playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3; follow him on Twitter at JKLugar.

Online shooters are chock full of statistics for one to …

I definitely agree with the point you're trying to make in this article, this K/D and skill statistic bs is killing all the online fps fun.
