It saddens me that people will actually buy 3 new maps for $15...

-Alpha5116d ago

It must sadden you more as a PC gamer that PC gamers have to pay for this considering they usually get this free.

BX815116d ago

You shouldn't fret over the amount of money other people choose to spend, and on what.

Pandamobile5116d ago

But it sets a precident for other developers.

champ215116d ago

this should have been user created free content.

evrfighter5115d ago

it does seem disappointing but seeing as how a lot of casuals have started building their pc's thanks to us.

We really shouldn't be surprised. Seeing as how the stimulus package is 3rd in top sellers behind cod4 and l4d2. It's safe to say it is those casuals that converted from console fueling this.

Revvin5115d ago

If people like the game then they will pay for more content. Mods are ok but very few match the quality of official professionally created add-ons though its a bit poor that two of the maps in this map pack are remakes from the previous Modern Warfare game. Now if they sweetened the deal with a new game mode that removed the silly perks and killstreak rewards that would be great - return the game to being about what a FPS should be - shooting people and not camping in a corner waiting for your killstreak reward or juggling perks that unbalance the game play.

For $/£1.50 more you can get COD4, exploiting ignorance

I think you'll have a hard time convincing Activision when the original 'boycott MW2' groups that sprung up before release all crumbled. Plenty of talk about boycotting for this and that reason but as soon as it arrived most of the people in those groups could be seen playing the game.

HEY GUYS BUY NOW AND ITS ONLY $13.49!!!!

-FUC* OFF ACTIVISION

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G259d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood259d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G259d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade258d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty259d ago (Edited 259d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality258d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator257d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G258d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85259d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai259d ago (Edited 259d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G259d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo259d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg259d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast258d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
