That's about 10 maps. Blops had 12 plus awesome new zombie maps without all this elite nonsense. As for the missions I guess that's nice. And the modes should be free. After like 4-5 years the only new modes are kill confirmed and team defender. I think we have earned more.

@880Cloud088 It's 12 maps including January. Overall there's slightly more content than for BO and it costs less.

10 Maps? You mean 12.

2 just came out yesterday.

So quick to the negative, what a pessimistic lot we gamers are.

I'm fine with what we're getting, but I would like to see just a bit more in variety, like new guns and/or similar equipment thrown in as well.
Normally I would be pretty much fine with just this stuff, but at the same time, if they're expecting people to keep re-upping for elite every year, they're gonna have to do something a little more in the way of variety, imo.

Apparently people seem to be of the opinion that there were two maps this month.

Ten maps, five missions and two modes? They better give more than that.

For forty bucks? Seems like a pretty decent deal to me.

probably can assume there will be at least 13 maps if they keep the trend in Oct - Dec. Still it seems they are trying to justify the Elite membership

@ChaseHammerJ I put days into every CoD, why is this a bad buy if it comes with all the DLC?

Sure I was expecting atleast 2 new maps every month and modes as DLC gotta be the biggest joke ever but for the amount of time I put into MW3 this will come out very cheap based on price/hours put into the DLC.

Just my 2 cents.

@ChaseHammerJ Obviously it isn't for some people, but for those that love the game and always buy every map pack, there's absolutely nothing BS about it. If you're not committed to buy every map pack, you shouldn't pay for Elite. Fortunately, for Activision, there are millions of us that are committed.

im not saying you should spend money on things you like Im just saying Elite is a failure. First you guys paid when? November and you arent getting anything until February? Sheesh you have more patience than I would. Buy now I would have demanded a refund. Second multiplayer maps are tremendously overrated and overpriced, the ones I do buy majority of players do not like nor play so wasted. After the COD4 I refused to buy anything more.

@ChaseHammerJ I wish they would do maps like they did with Halo 2. If you want them early, buy them and have them a month or two before they become free for everyone. It still made them money and also made everyone happy when they were free since everyone could use them. It was so much better.

10 maps? WTF? Over a year?

They are being very lazy with this!
I couldnt care less about the "missions".
And most modes boil down to team death match anyway....
Good thing my expectations were already so low.
betcha half are remakes ;).

@xFenixKnightx Probably; no Activision owned developer has ever put effort into a game or a piece of DLC, I very much doubt that'll change with Infinity Ward.

12 maps 2 modes 5 missions... thats all nice... but who needs more modes when the scoreboard dosent show objectives at all? this game is just a slap in the face for anybody who plays the objective. not having fun with it. how hard can it be to just show the objectives on it?!

i think having 1 or 2 new maps every month is better than having 4 every season or whenever they would release them(previous cods). At least that way you'll get bored of the 1-2 new maps just in time for the new ones.

The modes should be free, BUT you both are neglecting to count the January maps [2] that have already been released. There are 10 MORE maps bringing the grand total to 12.

I'm so glad I didn't buy this. The guy at gamestop was trying to convince me to get it because they were doing 10 FULL map packs over 10 months...I wonder if all employees were told to say this. Full map packs? 12 maps total. gay

I think the monthly releases will be great for keeping the game fresh! I just wish the new maps also worked in Survival Mode. Maybe they'll open that up somewhere along the way.

Funny how many people think it's just 10 maps.

Personally, as a dedicated COD player I'm beyond thrilled that I finally get 1-2 new maps every month.

Whether it is a better deal to just sign up for Elite or not, you are all still being robbed.

Just not robbed quite as much.

I bet you the new modes are just the modes they have already put into the game (like Gun Game, you can play it in a private party) but they give them playlists and actually LET YOU PLAY THEM -_-'
