Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package Coming March 30



Xbox 360 owners interested in acquiring Modern Warfare 2’s first new multiplayer maps don’t have long to wait.

At the end of March, Infinity Ward will be unloading DLC containing the new maps to expand the game’s intense online multiplayer. Call of Duty fans without an Xbox Live Gold Account will have access to Modern Warfare 2’s online multiplayer from March 12 through 15. This window of online play allotted to Xbox Live Silver Members should be just enough to convince them they need a Gold Account and the new Stimulus Package.

Does news of racking enough kills to nuke a new map have your blood pumping, or are you too focused on Bad Company 2?

  • I am so ready for new maps!!!!!

  • I get the feeling these maps will suck. Also even if they were great I have been claimed by BFBC2 as I was claimed by BF2.

  • About time, cuz I'm soooooooo over Highrise! how much?

  • sweet new cod maps ftw got to love the xbl gold

  • Can't wait.  

  • NEW MAPS!!!  I was playing online the other day with some real life friends.  When I brought up that I could really use some new maps, one friend let out a very enthusiastic and innappropriate "YEA."  I think he'll flip out when he hears they're coming out later this month.

  • lol 3 whole days to play it free. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW....... i bet most people wont even notice. i bet 90% of xbox owners who dont have Gold subscription have never even connected to XBL. I have a friend whose parents think that it will give them a virus (lol) eand even for those other small amout of silver ppl, 3 days wont make too much of a difference....

  • Count me in. I just hope they are rotated in better than in both of the last two CoDs: like maybe continuing to offer a mode with just the new maps in rotation for longer than two weeks, and only taking down that mode if/when another map pack comes out. People tended to always vote China Town once it went into regular rotation. WaW I can't remember the newer maps for too well, I mostly just bought those packs for the expanded Zombie Mode stuff, but by the time they hit a large chunk of the community had resumed playing CoD4 for MP.

  • I played Call of Duty last night for like 20 minutes and got so mad/bored that I switched back to a much better Bad Company 2. The game is so balanced. I don't really think the new maps are going to fix the fact that MW2 is a game for noobs. I'll play it after they take away the heartbeat sensor, double shotguns, and a perk that makes you knife through bullets.....new maps can't fix these problems.

  • Hopefully the maps will includes a few that are larger in area, especially for the squad/team based games. There seem to be too many that were a small to medium range and they get played over and over again.

  • Also, I plan on doing so, but I have yet to pick up BFBC2; I simply don't have the time or funds to devote before the end of the semester.

  • Bout freaking time.

  • Bad Company 2.  It's better and according to the Bad Company 2 in game store, BC2 will have more game choices for the maps on April 1st.  Trailer for the new COD DLC going to have to be good to drag me away from BC2.

  • what about ps3? we getting new maps on the playstation store?

  • this game sucks ass... no thanks

  • How some pics of the new maps? I hope its more than 2 maps also.  Gonna be upset if its gonna be like 20 bucks or something for 2 to 4 maps.

  • @ Blood Clott

    Amen. BFBC2 is better than MW2 becasuse people cant run through 20 bullets and knife you or be 10 feet away and knife you.

  • I am excited about this, but I don't know if I'll get it because Bad Company 2 is so great.

  • BFBC2 for me. I agree with everything Blood Clot said "The game [BFBC2] is so balanced. I don't really think the new maps are going to fix the fact that MW2 is a game for noobs. I'll play it after they take away the heartbeat sensor, double shotguns, and a perk that makes you knife through bullets.....new maps can't fix these problems."
