Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®3 Content Collection #2 Delivers New Breed Of High-Intensity Multiplayer Combat
All-New Face Off Distills Call of Duty® Multiplayer Into One-on-One and Two-on-Two Gameplay
Modern Warfare® 3 Content Collection #2 Offers More Content than Ever Before With Three New Multiplayer Maps and Two New Special Ops Missions in Addition to new Face Off Maps
Basketball Superstars Brandon Jennings And Gordon Hayward Go Head-to-Head Today In Call Of Duty Face Off Challenge
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Face Off's one-on-one or two-on-two gameplay delivers the most visceral Call of Duty® multiplayer experience in the franchise's history. Getaway and Lookout, two fiercely tactical maps designed exclusively for Face Off, are part of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare®3 Content Collection #2, released today by Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI). Call of Duty® MW3 Content Collection #2 features a sprawling collection of new killzones, offering Xbox LIVE® gamers the biggest and most varied content drop in Call of Duty history.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection #2 offers seven all-new pieces of content that includes:
-- Getaway: This former white-sand vacation spot, boasting exotic aquaria
and surfside infinity pools, is now a Face Off map and a haven for
ruthless run-and-gun violence.
-- Lookout: A perilous warren of chokepoints and tight corridors, the
second Face Off map drops your one- or two-man teams into a forward
observation base carved into a war-torn mountainside.
-- Sanctuary: Destroy the opposition--and the ornate relics of an ancient
monastic order--in the towering sandstone cloister of central Greece's
Sanctuary. SMGs, assault rifles and shotguns will make short work of
both.
-- Foundation: Choose your rules of engagement in this decommissioned
cement factory in the heart of South Korea, perfectly constructed for
both sniping and run-and-gun combat.
-- Oasis: Once a postcard-worthy holiday spot, now a paradise for a
different sort of traveler--the ones who've traded fanny packs for
combat fatigues. Pick your combat lanes carefully atop this ancient
stone fortress turned five star resort.
-- Kill Switch: Armed with an EMP, you and a squad mate must neutralize a
Russian carrier deep within enemy territory. This Special Ops Mission
tasks one team member on the ground, fighting through hostiles on your
way to the detonation site, while the other must maintain vital cover
from behind a sniper scope.
-- Iron Clad: For the first time, take the wheel of an Abrams-class tank
with full escort. Breach and clear and exfiltrate from behind enemy
lines in Hamburg in this all-new Special Ops mission.
To celebrate the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection #2, Activision is putting basketball superstars Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks against Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz head to head in a Face Off Challenge, a special edition of the Call of Duty Grudge Match for ultimate bragging rights. Jennings and Hayward will captain teams featuring development studio members, online personalities and Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 3 fans in an intense battle before settling the final score in the all new Face Off. Gamers can review Grudge Match highlights on the Modern Warfare 3 Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/MW3.
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 Content Collection #2 is available first on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 1,200 Microsoft Points, or $14.99. The Collection is open to all; a premium Call of Duty® Elite membership is not required. The DLC pack will be available on other platforms at a later date.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection #2 is published by Activision and co-developed by Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is rated "M" (Mature) by the ESRB for Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence and Strong Language.
