Modern Warfare 2′s Mapathy Cure Costs a Pretty Penny
Two days ago, PlayStation LifeStyle reported the new maps for Modern Warfare 2′s Stimulus Package DLC. The pack contains 5 maps; three new, and two remade. Although, an unknown topic that is wished to be known for the DLC is something very important – the price. Here to save the day is Major Nelson, where that topic was revealed on his podcast.
Robert Bowling, community manager at Infinity Ward, was on Major Nelson’s podcast show to talk about (what else?) Modern Warfare 2. During the show, the price of the first Modern Warfare 2 DLC, titled Stimulus Package, was revealed. Unfortunately, the price passes the borderline of overpriced DLC. The Stimulus Package DLC will run you $15 for the pack, which includes 3 new maps, and 2 remade maps from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Speaking of Call of Duty 4, Joystiq pointed out that the only DLC for that game – the Variety Pack – cost only $10.

Hell yes ill buy it been waiting for this……any word on a weapons DLC!!! now that would be awesome
With what Activision did to IW dev’s I would not even buy the game let alone pay for DLC at that price. When a company uses legal methods to avoid paying for what was legally negotiated then that company deserves to die a thousand deaths by a thousand cuts.
hell yeah ill buy it
LOLOLOL.MW2
Biggest hyped load of dog poo ever made!!!
bc2 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game really epitomizes everything that makes me totally uninterested in shooters.
I don’t imagine the people at Infinity Ward will get a cent of money from this. Probably get forcibly removed from the building and sued if they even ask.
No since it is for xbox only, and also i wont bc Activision is not getting a peny more of my money. That is so over priced, and 2 of those are just maps they redid. I am done with cod MW2, for me the game was a let down
no buy for me…how do they have the balls to call it Stimulus Package and then charge that much for it??? I haven’t played MW2 since December so I wouldn’t put money into it even if the maps were only $5
I feel sorry for anyone who has bought this game. This DLC will sell good. You can thank the millions of Xbots that bought the game. The result of that will be that you will never see a reasonably priced DLC for that game again.
So for those of you that bought the game and are disappointed with it, there goes yet another reason why it was a let down. The ridiculously priced DLC.
8 comments and 2 say I’D BUY lolol thats says alot already LOL
i hired MW2 just to see what the fuss was about!? WHAT A WASTE OF £6 WORST GAME TO DATE ON AND OFFLINE….
When it comes to ridiculous pricing Activision is determined to not be outdone.
no i wont be. if my roommate decides to i might steal his though lol
Why? When none of the money is going to the people who made the content and instead to a greedy prick who can’t be arsed to pay out what was negioted to begin with why should anyone buy content from Activision ever again.
Their quickly becoming the most hated games company. A fact I’m glad of as I’ve hated them for years now.
I traded in MW2 for BC2 and it was one of the best decisions of my life. This game has become a joke.
atta boy activision!
Nope. No way. Can we say rehash? Oh wait, I was already saying that before about this game… I think they just proved my point!
[...] trend with its XBL-for-now map pack. However, DICE doesn’t agree with charging their players for ridiculously overpriced map packs, and has issued a statement which will satisfy all Bad Company 2 [...]
you guys are losers…omg $15!!! Im getting this,its worth it
