The latest batch of downloadable content for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be mobilising for Xbox 360 on February 21st 2012.

Entitled Overwatch, the new map has been billed by Activision as a "frantic multi-floor frag-fest" taking place on the 70th storey of a New York high-rise building.

Described as the highest multiplayer arena yet seen in a Call of Duty game, Overwatch is likely to have players having just as much difficulty battling vertigo as their actual competitors.

As with all of Modern Warfare 3's DLC, the map will be available first for Xbox 360 owners with premium subscriptions to the Call of Duty Elite service, before coming online for PlayStation 3 and PC fans later on.

Regular content drops will continue to be released over the next nine months, including fresh maps, modes and missions.

Three more batches of DLC will be launched in March 2012, including the Black Box map and the special ops missions Black Ice and Negotiator.
