E3 09: First two MW2 map packs to hit Xbox LIVE first photo

Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 just had its moment in the sun at Microsoft’s E3 press conference. We laughed and purred as we watched the game’s protagonist rock it out on a snowmobile shooting bad dudes gangster style. After the video an announcement had us making sounds -- the first two Modern Warfare 2 map packs will hit “first on Xbox LIVE” according to Microsoft executive Jon Schappert.

True exclusives are so yesterday, but it’s nice to have the clarification here. PlayStation 3 and PC people will be able to download the DLC ... eventually.

Whenever they start talking about map packs and DLC before the game is even out, it makes me feel like they just withhold features from the finished product to sell at a later date. Granted this game is going to be epic either way. I just wish I didn't feel like I was being nickeled and dimed.

Nice to see MS went out of their way to jam up the ps3 FNF crew.

Eventually that's great, its one thing to get exclusive content(permanantly I mean) but to delay it on other systems, well.

But then again that's the environment we so desired.

Meh... at least they're talking about 2 map packs. What kind of $hit was that where they release just one map pack for the first one then just drop it like a runny turd? I mean seriously... one of the most popular multiplayer games and they just leave there fans hanging.

I really don't even give a fuck, for how fast the game was developed, I'll pay a little extra.

Ugh, so they're already building maps to keep from releasing on the disc. Good to know.

@ Zippy
no, just that my clans( dtoid and the one's before I came here) are on the ps3, normally I'd switch versions ( I have a 360) and avoid this problem ( I usually end up getting both versions : see bioshock) but that trick won't work for me this time, so im kinda stuck.

Wait, so we're already talking about Multi-player Map Pack DLC for the game that doesn't even come out for a few more months? Seriously? Just add it to the already existing fucking game, Jesus. It's not like it's out yet, we can wait a little bit longer, if we have to, for you guys to add it to the original copies. God, it's sad because I'm going to buy them anyways!

Microshaft can fucking bite me. Fuck off with paying to make PS3 users wait for shit.

This kind of deal is immoral and should not be allowed. It's industrial espionage.

cunts.

I don't give a shit. I'm buying it on 360 anyways. Though it would've been nice to have those maps on the disc itself, but since they want money, I'll hand it over.
