First Modern Warfare 2 DLC hitting XBL this month photo

It feels like only yesterday Infinity Ward was talking up the mysterious first Modern Warfare 2 downloadable map pa--oh, that totally was yesterday. Huh, that was quick! The marketing division has created an informative site about "mapathy," an all-too-real medical condition affecting millions of gamers.

They say the cure is coming to Xbox LIVE on March 30, which would mean an April release for PlayStation 3 and PC since Microsoft acquired a full month of exclusivity for the add-on. The real question, at least in my mind, is whether or not we'll see video/pictures of the maps during GDC.

Either way, the wait shouldn't be too painful. As wrapped up in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as I am, I wouldn't mind getting back into Modern Warfare 2, if only to play new content from time to time.

Great news. Crash will be so much fun with Scagenger Pro and noobtube assholes running around being chased by Commando noobs.

Well, at least one person is willing to play BC2 without shunning MW2. As for the new content, I've barely scratched the multiplayer surface right now. Maybe I'll download the new packs later in the year, but I'm good for the time being.

Wait.

How are people supposed to NOT know where you are when you're playing the maps from the previous game?

I noticed they list the symptoms of "Mapathy" yet don't list the side effects of the cure. Why is that?

Yeah... what Klempky said.

That is sort of silly considering two of the maps are maps from MW2...

Yeah, I have a good cure. Not buying the DLC and getting a better game that dosen't have a human money mosquito at the CEO position. Sve yourself money. You've played these maps before. You don't need MW maps. You want MW maps? pop in MW one. Not only do you SAVE money, you stick it to Activision HARDCORE.

Even when I do inevetably start playing MW2 again, I'm not downloading this. If the maps truly are reboots, then I see no reason for anyone to pay for them. The simple fact that they could have (and probably did) just take the existing CoD4 maps and retexture/repopulate them kind of makes me wonder what IW is thinking. It seems like a half assed attempt to bang a few more bucks using existing assets and designs.

Hell if I know, but MW2's glitchfest nature slowly just took all the fun out of the game.

Yeah, cause the new maps will go over so well with the game's pre-existing "join a random game for a randomly chosen map or vote to skip the map and get another randomly chosen map system"

@ Jakysan,

"BC2 sux. Too slow."

Too slow? Did you actually try playing the game?

If you played BC2, and think it's too slow.. then you're doing it wrong.

Dear God. Fanboys battling it out in comments. MW2 and BBC2 can't BOTH be liked? More "wah wah wah Activision is a whore". I don't know about the rest of you but I play games to have fun. I don't care what the company is doing, if I'm having fun and enjoying the game, they are doing a good job.

This is as bad as the whole Prototype vs Infamous bullshit.

@McChiken: If you're addressing me, I was implying can't they both have a place in the world? One doesn't need to be better then the other.

Should they really be marketing that people grew apathetic about their first set of maps? I mean, it's hardly something they should be flaunting. Nor the fact that it took them that long to get the new maps out there.

About to trade in ps3 version of mw2 for pc version of BC2... can't wait!

I thought about it for awhile, and I decided that boycotting Activision extends to not buying their map packs.
I like MW2, and I'm pretty sick of the old maps... but yeah, I'm not buying these.

Activision might be the company-du-jour to hate on, but really the only thing they've done is be honest about it. EVERY company would (and does) similar things to make a profit. Not saying that makes it alright, but just keep that in mind. There is no 'company of the people'. As far as the DLC goes, I'll buy it, because when MW2 is FUNCTIONING, it's highly enjoyable. Anything that enhances that, I'm all for.

@Xonticus - Do it dude, you won't regret it.

I, personally got seriously bored of Knife of Mutey: Glitch Borefare 2, MW1 was a great game, but more of the same with some over the top, unbalanced, untested additions thrown in? Fuck no. I prestiged it, just to say i had and traded the cunt in for Heavy Rain and Alien vs Predator. I later traded in AvP (borked MP) for Bad Company 2 which I'm loving every minute of.

MW2 left me massively disapoint. I was a completely opaque block of the colour known as disapoint.

What are the maps? You all seem to know there are some MW1 maps in this DLC... which ones? And really? Do we really want rehashes of maps we already played for 2 years? I would prefer a 5 map pack of all brand new areas. How about an American soil map?

Wait, what? But aren't they releasing the exact old maps from Call of Duty 4?

The best way to cure repitition is to replay old maps...? The FDA needs to look into this.

I find the argument about old maps funny because I remember a time before everyone started slow-necking BFBC2 when quite a few people were tossing around how cool it would be to play CoD4 maps in MW2.

I think I actually remember reading, "can you imagine using a chopper gunner on crash?"

there are three new maps as well, you know... but it's negligible to the BC2 players I've seen who act like pompous pricks when a passive opinion about their new big-boy pants rears it's unworthy head. stop scoffing and acting like douchebags and just play your game of choice.

and come to think of it, I haven't seen any "glitchfests" since the two care package exploits were taken care of.

You people get more and more creative with your insults about call of duty. It's fascinating. I enjoy bc2 more for the teamwork aspect of multiplayer. But I you like mw2 more power to you it's a great game made by good people.
