Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack gets a price tag… wait for it…
15$ for 3 new Multiplayer maps and 2 recycled ones from the first Modern Warfare. Really Activision…. for real?
If you listened to our podcast you know our feelings about Activision, Infinity Ward and MW2… but this, man this takes the cake. This has quick, let’s milk it before we lose control of MW2 written all over it.

NOOO… That’s horrible. I’d been thinking that they should have it be something where we’re forced(ish) to play their game at least. I mean either completing enough Spec Ops to unlock the DLC or grab enough enemy intel which (to my knowledge, but I only really ran through on veteran) to unlock the DLC. Now that I would have appreciated.

This doesn’t surprise me that Activision is making their consumers pay $15 for 3 new maps, and 2 old maps.
I never bought MW2 for PC because of the “no dedicated server support.” This is just another reason to not buy it.
I had the game on Xbox 360, but sold it after I realized how much better it is to play an FPS game on the PC. I’ve become a hardcore PC gamer over the past 4 months and haven’t looked back.
Support PC gaming and dedicated servers.

It’s the new paradigm – shift with it folks!
I didn’t like it when apple wanted me to pay $.99 for a mp3 I could download for free either. Now everyone’s doing it.

LOL…i laugh with anger. I wish steam would remove modern warfare 2 from their list of games. Screw Activision and Ubisoft.

Every time i read an article about Activision i hear the star wars music called imperial march.
Now i’m thinking about what a decent developer like ironclad/Valve/relic would give you for that money.
