A Mathematical reason why you should'nt buy the new CoD4 map pack
skeletor | 9:58 PM on 04.06.2008 4 comments


Okay...

1.) Consider that multiplayer is 1/2 of the total experience of CoD4 (single player is the other half)

2.) There are 16 maps in the standard CoD4 mapset. There are 4 maps in the new map pack. That means your adding 1/4 new content to the multiplayer, thus adding 1/8 of the whole game.

3.) 1/8 of the 60$ retail price is $7.50. They are charging you 10 dollars...

Another way to look at it is file size

1.) the whole size of call of duty (for the pc, Im assuming its the same for the 360) is 8gigs or 8000 mb

2.) The new map pack is 444.46 mb

3.) 444.46/8000 is 5.5% new content (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent).

4.)5.5% of the sixty dollar retail price is 3.33$

Still a rip off.


f*** that


Dont get me wrong. Call of Duty 4 is a great game, but I just think its wrong that they charge you ten bucks on top of a 60 dollar game.

[opinion]They should make it free [/opinion]

"1.) Consider that multiplayer is 1/2 of the total experience of CoD4 (single player is the other half)"

That's a pretty big assumption right there.

I've put many more hours into multi than I have single player, it's worth more than 50% to me. Also, you think that if devs work on content after release, they shouldn't be paid for it? I have no problem paying for the maps, if it means they are going to release more maps packs in the future.
Revolt in Colour's Destructoid Blog
I've played for 14 days. That's 336 hours. I played single player for about 8 hours.

That's 97.6% of the game for me.

Definitely worth it. This weekend alone I played the new maps for more hours than I have played the single player portion of the game.

Well, I like games. I love mass effect, I honestly don't know a whole lot about skeletor, I wanted to use the witty word skeletorz somewhere so thats what I made my screenname.
