Here’s a little more information on each of the new maps, now available to premium members of Call of Duty Elite, exclusively over Xbox LIVE (for the time being):

Elite Drop 1: Piazza Map

“This seaside Italian getaway is anything but idyllic, as tight corners and branching pathways pose great risk at every turn. Close-range combat dominates, and the team that best utilizes flanking routes will most often come out on top.

“Attacks from behind, above and below are an ever-constant threat. Keep up your awareness and don’t get taken by surprise.”

Elite Drop 2: Liberation Map

“A militarized Central Park stretches across a vast landscape, ripe for long-range sniper and LMG fire. Mounted turrets on either end lend power to anyone brave enough to expose themselves in exchange for deadly firepower.

“Plan out your movement and always be aware of nearby sightlines to avoid becoming fodder for the enemy.”
