Xbox 360 users received all DLC about a month before PlayStation 3 users regardless of Elite membership due to a special contract between Microsoft and Activision. Initially, all downloadable content was only available to Call of Duty: Elite premium members.
This number was increased to 22 on Call of Duty 's official Elite Content Calendar. ĭuring the release of Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty 's Elite service, premium members of the service were promised 20 pieces of DLC over a 9-month period, with content releases for each platform every month. This agreement applied to the games Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
At E3 2010, Microsoft announced that any DLC released for the Call of Duty series would arrive on the Xbox 360 first.
