Fuck this and fuck that game.

And fuck Bobby K, rot in hell you shithead.

I know everyone's gonna bitch about the price and/or content, but I bet this DLC will still be downloaded by over a million times..... It's sad that everyone doesn't keep their promises anymore.....

Damn that was some hateful shit.

@Oishidesu
Oh, that's where you're wrong. I took the game outside, placed in on the hot asphalt of my one way street, proceeded to get into my Viper, put it in neutral, floored it, put it in drive and disintegrated the disk.

Yes, I actually did this.

wow. Crash and Overgrown don't even look like they did anything to them. :/ I'm sure there are some balancing tweaks but geez.

I'll get this when I get tired of the content I still have and they lower the price tag. So come talk to me next year.

I'm not happy about that price, but dudes, I love this game so much. $15 much even.

Did they really have to boast that?

@ Necron117 - Pictures or it never happened.

Wow... $15, thats financial rape. But they know they can and will get away with it.

@Raging
Oh the disk or the car?

The car pics I have, but the disk was thrown away after it was fucked.

Fuck Bobby K, I know this is his fault.

I don't even own Modern Warfare 2. It's almost social suicide not owning that game in my dorm, but I honestly don't care.

Um... guys? 1200 points for 5 maps? That's good. Halo 3 released three maps at a time at 800 per pack. Evil Activision is charging less per map than any of Halo 3's map packs.

ndschroede23: Halo 3's map prices was bullshit too.

the only thing this BULLSHIT stimulates is activision's pockets

Two points:

1) Halo and CoD are the only games I have experience in buying DLC map packs. How much does a reasonably priced map pack go for?

2) People were bitching WAY less about Halo 3 than they are about MW2. This has a lot less to do with rational finances and more to do with everyone's (arguably justified) pre-established hatred for Activision.

Thankfully I've got a PS3 so they aren't overcharging me until the very distant future.

@ragingstormx, believe it or not his story is true. He got pwnt by noobs because he's a super noob and he threw a tantrum in his car. Then he peed in his pants because hey, why not.

If they'd come out with these maps like a month after release or something I'd have been more likely to go for it, but as it is I've pretty much moved on and I don't think I'd come back if they want to charge $15 to get me back into it. Not to mention I play it on PC so who even knows when they'd be out for me.

A reasonable price for Map packs are FREE.

THANKS VALVE.

I think Map Prices have always been and will always be Bullshit regardless of the game. This one is perhaps the most I recall seeing considering 2/5 maps are old ones, meaning that it's 5 bucks per new map, think about it people...

But thanks to the magic of the Internet I don't have Modern Warfare 2 anymore, and have 50 digidollars on goozex ready to go toward some other game, possibly Battlefield Bad Company 2 once i get through Goozex's insanely long queue for it...or maybe something not a military shooter...

I got sick of MW2 and sold it a month ago or so. Although I don't have a 360 at the moment, I'd defiantly check out Reach, it looks mint.

@pablo And DICE, don't forget DICE.

I've been enjoying the slower pace and objective team-based play of Bad Company 2 for the last two weeks far too much to justify spending money on Modern Warfare 2 at this point. Especially given the fact I don't even enjoy 2/5 maps right out of the box guaranteed.

I wonder if they fixed the hill glitch in Overgrown this time around, seeing as they never fixed it in the original.

I'm done with Call of Duty. Shooters like Borderlands and Bad Company will be getting my dollars from now on. At least they know how to provide fun gameplay experiences without letting game-killing glitches slip through AND they know how to handle add-on content by either making it well worth the value or completely free.

You'd think someone would check the grammar on these assholes' trailers.

I'll enjoy the April 1 Battlefield map update for FUCKING FREE.

who wants to bet it is going to be cheaper for PS3

i was hoping for more guns and perks... oh well, its a good thing this didn't interrupt my raging bad company 2 hard on

15 bucks for 3 new maps, that is such bullshit! Im gonna try and convince my friend not to get the new maps because this is a complete rip off. 2 bucks for a new map is reasonable. The COD4 maps should be free. Fuck you Activision and Infinity Ward. Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 have map packs out, and they work out to be about 2.50 per a map, Activision is asking for 5 dollars per a new map (excluding the COD4 maps). Why the fuck should I spend that much on your map packs Activision? Shit like this will make me go to Uncharted 2 online and Ill probably buy their map packs.

The rage I will see on my PC gamer boards if they attempt to charge $15 for a map pack for PC will be... immense, shall we say.

And I don't blame them. What once was free and considered support is now paid for DLC, and now it's even 1/4th the cost of the game. I mean, my GOD, why do you people support this BS?

So it looks like about everyone will download this dlc, despite it's overprice. At least borderlands dlc was only $10

That's $15 you could be setting aside for, say, a better game.

I uninstalled my MW2 copy so i could install Metro 2033. Seeing as how Destructoid thinks the game sucked is that a bad thing :). I made it past chapter 3 btw :).

$15 for 3 maps, yeah for capitalism, i think. I feel a little insulted when i seen the guy running around noobing it up with a rocket launcher. So IW doesn't like grenade spam, but running with a rocket launcher is fair game, OK.

Agreed, StingingVelvet.

It wasn't more than 3 years ago that maps and game modes were often released with patches. In Unreal Tournament 3's case, you get 15 new maps and a few additional game modes with the Titan pack. Activision must have forgotten that the first Call of Duty brought new maps with a few patches. Not to forget the Battlefield Series either. Of course it's not just Activision though either...

"More people will download these maps than buy bad company 2."


I'm laughing with rage.

This just in! Gamers hate overpriced map packs that have less content than they want! My reaction, you ask? *Grabs a flaming pitchfork and puts on a replica of the Fonz's sunglasses* Boys, we're going to Activision!!

@Oishidesu
Dude, lets do this thing! We're going ALL the way!

Too bad the game is overrun with camping 15 year olds who have nothing better to do than compete with other camping 15 year olds over who has more nukes and a better K/D ratio.

And one of those 'new' maps looked suspiciously similar to another CoD4 map, which I forgot the name of. It was in a farm area, with brick buildings and a lot closely resembling the one shown in the trailer. Which almost makes me thing we're getting 2 new maps, 1 variation map, and 2 reboots.

Of course, I'm not included in that 'we.'

@Necron117
Are you sure? You have to pay for my flight though since i'm too young to have a job yet *I don't do chores*

Remember, every dollar you give to Activision is another dollar that Bobby Kotick might use to possibly buy candy that could be used to attract children for activities that could be defined as illegal. Or, so I've heard...

@ndschroede

Free as sunshine... http://www.doomwadstation.com/
Hell, even on consoles you can get free maps... http://www.map-factory.org/ut3

Also these...

http://www.l4dmods.com/

Blizzard hides their "map packs" in proper expansions worthy of a $40 price tag, so they get a pass as well.

$15 nonsense. I'm halting my MW2 multiplayer progress. I was very nearly level 50, but in recent weeks since the price of the map pack was announced, my enthusiasm for the game has slowed to a near death dribble. If not that I want to finish the single player on Veteran and some of the co-op missions with friends, I'd be selling the game by this point.

Utter waste of an opportunity, given that EA didn't even bat an eye at releasing content for free upon hearing the Activision offer.

@Oishidesu
Oh, well, I'm twenty two and don't have a job either. College is a hell of a thing.

Sod Activision. They still haven't given non-US players a local filter like in World At War, so the game is almost unplayable here in Australia. We keep getting shoved in US-hosted cross-pacific matches, which are lag-city.

Not that Activision gives a crap.

"The biggest entertainment launch... of all time... is how we justify gouging our customers..."

Man that video player sucks royal ass, an ad every single time? I think I'll just search youtube.

I'm buying this JUST to spite others hating. Seriously though is it REALLY hard to come by 15 bucks? or are people just finding an excuse to hate because they can? either way I'm all for new maps...15 bucks ain't much...(assuming you work a good job)

$15 could buy Braid or Shadow Complex...

I'm going to go cry in a corner.

@ Laurence Silva - I'll be remembering your name when Activision decides to bump the price for maps up, because "15 bucks ain't much".

You're giving money to a man who makes a living providing people with

..."JUST enough" to get their money. No, seriously, that's his policy, look it up.


Also: Curse tab + space bar for my double post! >_>

@Laurence Silva
It's not the $15 this map pack costs that hurts, but the endless $15 map packs that is sure to follow if this works out. It's not just Activision's prices that are affected; it could set a new industry standard.

Well, i haven't got tired of the original maps, so i can wait for a price cut.

The whole "Mapathy" crap is poor and desperate marketing. Calling it the "stimulus package" and then asking 15 bucks for 3 maps and a couple old ones is ludicrous.

Oh my god when will people stop bitching about this (oh and there is no way i believe that you have a Viper unless its some name for a pink moped!) yes its five maps, yes two of them are from COD4 but the point you seem to be missing (or saying cos its cool to not like MW2) is that Modern Warfare 2 is quite possibly the bestgame of he last 4 years (since COD4) came out, so new maps or classic maps are going to be downloaded and going to be played by everyone. You can't summarily dismiss a game or dlc AFTER you have bought it. The bad company people can f off anyway, its a completely different game. The dlc will be well worth it (come on guys here in the uk it costs less than £20 to buy 2100 points so you could do that and still have points left over!!) and the classic maps even if they aren't tweeked are CLASSIC maps so it will be nice to revisit them with the new perks system. If you don't have the game dont make a snarky comment, if you do have the game grow some balls and download the content otherwise you will be the whiny bitches cmplaining tha you keep getting kicked from multi player cos you don't have the maps downloaded.

And before you ask no I don't work for Activision or Infinity Ward
