While Infinity Ward's latest Call of Duty title, Modern Warfare 3 continues to decimate sales records and dominate online PC, PSN, and Xbox Live servers, there's no doubt that die-hard fans, not to mention Call of Duty Elite subscribers, are ready for some fresh content.
According to Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling, anxious gamers shouldn't have too long a wait before they get some new Modern Warfare 3 content - as the first DLC will arrive on January 24th.
Of course, for anyone familiar with Microsoft's ongoing Call of Duty exclusivity deal with Activision, that January 24th date is referring to the Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 3 - meaning that PS3 and PC players will have to wait a full month before they can get in on the new content.
While we still don't entirely know what to expect from the first DLC - but have gotten the first image of 'Park' - Bowling took to the Call of Duty Elite "Roll Call" airwaves to announce the content release date in a new video but also made sure to pitch details about what to expect in future offerings as well:
“The way we’re doing downloadable content this year is unlike we’ve never done before."
“Not only in how you can get it — in content drops or choose for the collection — but also the type of content you’re getting. We’re doing more than just maps. We’re going to do Spec Ops missions and a variety of things that players have never seen before."

With so many studios working on Modern Warfare 3, as well as definite interest in making Call of Duty Elite even more attractive to consumers - it makes sense that Activision could be preparing one of the most robust DLC campaigns the industry has seen.
