The Call of Duty Elite service has already made itself worthwhile with players on the Xbox 360 getting access to three new maps today.

Subscribers will get two new Spec Ops maps – Black Ice and Negotiator – that will extend the co-op action you and your friends can get involved in. Black Ice is especially welcome as it adds the snowmobile chase from Modern Warfare 2 into the new game. Negotiator has one player attempting to save their partner from being assassinated.

The lone multiplayer map, Black Box, has players fighting across a mansion that just so happens to be where Air Force One has been downed. The map looks to have plenty of tactical camping points so get those snipers ready.

If you’re not a Call of Duty Elite subscriber, you can pick up these maps alongside the first set of map packs on March 20.

Here’s the admittedly kind of obnoxious trailer for the new map packs, but it does a good job of giving you an overall view of what to expect.

Are the map packs great additions to the game so far? Or could they be better? Let us know in the comments.
