THE BUZZ: The Overwatch multiplayer map content drop for Modern Warfare 3 is now available to download.

If you’re an Xbox 360 Call of Duty: Elite premium subscriber then you can now download the map completely free of charge. PlayStation 3 Elite subscribers will have to wait a month for their turn.

You can check out some gameplay from the map here.

EGM’s TAKE: The major problem we have with Call of Duty maps is that they all look far too similar. There’s little differentiation in layout or textures. They work well for close quarters, fast-paced action, but they are boring to look at. Overwatch is no different. Maybe some more map mechanics thrown in might spice things up a little, but at the moment things are just becoming monotonous.

What do you think of the new map? Let us know in the comments below.
