CES 2010: Modern Warfare 2 DLC packs hitting 360 first photo

Just when you thought Microsoft wasn't freakishly interested in nabbing timed exclusivity for high-profile game add-ons -- wait, why would you ever think such a thought? -- we find out at CES that the company has made sure Xbox LIVE will receive the initial Modern Warfare 2 DLC packs first.

We'll have to wait until we get closer to the DLC's spring release to find out more details, but for now, we can look back at what's been said by Infinity Ward on the add-on front. Have you guys been clamoring for some additional Spec Ops missions? I hope so, because that'd be something I can get behind.

It seems like a lot of fans also want multiplayer maps (duh), although interestingly enough it sounds like many would opt to pay for their favorite Call of Duty 4 maps in order to relive the fun in Modern Warfare 2. There are two add-ons announced so far, so these guesses might not be too far off base.

What kind of DLC would you like to see?

Why? I'd imagine people only have it on one console or the other, so why bother with DLC exclusivity?

I wouldn't be surprised if it converts a couple of ps3 users over.

I would love to see some more Spec Ops. I'm not a fan of DLC maps and I would definetly not pay for old maps.

@Al: I'm sure Activision wants cash from everyone, it'd be Microsoft that wants the timed release.

Yeah I agree with njsykora. This is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Most people who wanted the game have already bought it. And most people who bought it sure as hell aren't going to buy it again. So you're really just shooting yourself in the foot by making it exclusive to one platform (even for a time).

Didn't everyone figure this out months before the game launched?

But given the game has a stronger online community on 360, this kind of makes sense. The difference will be less than a month I'm sure.

Uh, we already knew this. This was announced at E3 last year. Anyway, I'd like to see more focus on co-op, so yeah, Spec-Ops. More co-op is always a good thing.

Never would buy a console for DLC. Now Shadow Complex however...

It's sad that the only exclusive on Xbox worth getting these days cost less than $20.

Gamers who are obsessed will basically be forced by their peers to download the map packs.

PS3 gamers might trade their copy in for the 360 version. I know some people that are actually doing it.

It'd be nice if they put random neutral civilians running around the maps, that'd be sweet.

Id like to see a Proper Single Player Campaign as DLC.

Because sadly, IW shipped MW2 with the a series of Action Movie Montages and tried to pass it off as a story..

anytime they want to patch up the pc version would be swell. you know, since VAC isn't doing shit.... DLC for 360 instead of patching up broken multiplayer - greaaaat

Is it really a stretch to think that it would come out on the 360 first? Largest install base and developed on the 360 and then later ported to the PS3 and PC...

c'mon man.

Wasn't this pretty much confirmed before the release of the actual game itself?

I would like to see DLC that arrives to everyone at the same time but with Microsoft still around, not gonna happen.

I'm interested in some more maps. Preferably ones with better spawning positions. Tired of spawning and instantly being filled with lead.

I'd like to see something ala-horde/firefight/extraction/zombie. SpecOps got boring and multiplayer is fun and all, but eh.

Duh, but the main reason I got this for 360. The wait on PS3 for the variety map pack killed me.
Make a flashback pack with Crash and Vacant, thats all I want!

It would be cool if they offered new weapons in their DLC, novelty or realistic (repeating rifle anyone?). If dead space can keep tacking on new weapons why not mw2?
Rammstein's Avatar - Comment posted on 01/07/2010 11:51

New weapons would be nice. FarCry 2 did it! New maps are a given. Still, I don't want the first dlc to be all old maps(if I ever see countdown again I will kill someone) but rather a mix of 2 old 2 new, or just new maps, based on the campaign. Spec-Ops is cool and all but its only 2 players so I can't play it with all my friends. Although Co-Op 'No Russian' would be very controvercialicious. Kill civilians together!

Something NICE would be making the DLC(FFS why do we call it DLC, they're just maps) from CoD4 compatible with MW2. Like Guitar Hero 3/4 did.

But that will never happen because ActiBlizzard/MS want moar moneys.

I just hope they don't add any Achievements. I got my 1000/1000, don't take that 100% away from me!

CoD4 maps would be nice.

I don't understand what the big deal is. I can wait a bit longer for the PS3 version. I'm in no hurry to play Classic COD4 maps anytime soon... although I will buy them just cause I enjoyed those maps a bit more.

If they do have maps from CoD4, seriously, i think Crossfire&Crash are a must. More SpecOps would be nice tho, but if you take away my 100% g/s i wont be happy (:
