Your Modern Warfare 3 DLC won't be locked to one Xbox Live profile for long, irate Call of Duty: Elite subscriber. Infinity Ward's on the case. Which is just as well, or somebody might take them to court.
Premium Elite members discovered the restriction yesterday, after new Modern Warfare 3 maps Piazza and Liberation went live. For reference, the download's terms of service note: "you can use this item on the first Xbox 360 console you downloaded it to. Access to this item will also be granted to all users on this first console."
"We understand that ELITE Premium Members on Xbox Live who purchased the latest DLC Content Drop for Modern Warfare 3 are unable to access that content while signed into other profiles on the same console that originally downloaded the content."
"This is unintentional and we will work to get an update out as soon as possible that corrects this issue and allows you to continue to enjoy the new maps."
At least 20 Modern Warfare 3 content drops will arrive this year.

So nobody thought of this before hand? Too busy counting/dry-humping their money

LOL Maybe but they have already had all the money from this.... It not like we had to pay for it due to our Elite subscription

At least IW have made a swift comment and promised to do something about it. Though a small voice at the back of my head is wondering if this is some sort of damage limitation move due to negative feedback.
