All content drops for Call of Duty Elite premium members will occur once a month, starting in January for Xbox Live users and will continue through the year, ending in September. During the first three months of 2012, Activision will release five different content drops on three occasions in January, February and March, first on Xbox Live, followed by additional platforms at a later time.The first two DLC will be multiplayer maps, also available for Survival Mode fans. "Liberation is a vast, militarized landscape, ripe for long-range sniper and LMG fire, with mounted turrets on either end that lend power to anyone brave enough to expose themselves in exchange for deadly firepower. Piazza is the idyllic Italian getaway that is anything but, where tight corners and branching pathways pose great risk at every turn. Close-range combat dominates in Piazza, where attacks from behind, above and below are an ever-constant threat." The third content release will be in mid-February with two additional drops in March.

If people aren't annoyed with the name "Call of Duty" yet, then no one is going to be annoyed of "season of content".
But seriously how can anyone have fun with MW3? I tried to play it 3 times and just couldn't play it for more then 20 minutes. It is the EXACT same thing as the last 5 games, same graphics, same sounds, same effects, and the majority of the weapons are the same.-
This was the reason why I didn't buy Call of Duty 2 on release: "I've already played Call of Duty and the United Offensive expansion pack; I've had enough Call of Duty."
CoD4 refreshed the formula, but since then, not much. They'll make shitloads of money by churning out DLC and leapfrog-rehashing the game every year, but they're not furthering the genre like CoD4 did. CoD4 was the game that made Counter-Strike laughable and irrelevant; no other Call of Duty game has had that much of an impact on the genre. -
As to why everyone keeps playing it ... because that's what there friends are playing. Also, if you are looking for a pure TDM experience on a console, MW3 is a lot more satisfying than BF3, and BF3 isn't a great console experience (I play it on 360 but...). But everyone I know that is playing MW3 really dislikes everything else about it. I'd honestly give the franchise two more iterations before everyone starts walking away from it.
If TreyArch does something interesting, or maybe even if its a BLOPS 2.5, they'll keep the fans in the fold. And it really depends on the next Sledgehammer / IW game to save the franchise.

I kind of wish they would stop bothering with a $60 full retail game. The single player in Call of Duty has gone from Great to Fun to just ... Oh this again. Sell me a download client for $30 a month with all the multiplayer elements and a $10 a month subscription for new maps and modes. And every year just have a new developer update the client. "This year its ... VIetnam... Next year its .... Whatever."
I'd be more inclined to do that than buy another CoD game.
