Earlier this week, Kotaku posted a few screens from said map pack, three new maps and two re-hashed from Call of Duty 4.
The price? Well, considering so many people
- $60 (plus tax) for just the game and its ship day release of sixteen multiplayer maps.
- $70 (plus tax) for all of the above plus a cool book and tin case, also a copy of Call of Duty classic.
- $150 (plux tax) for all of the above plus a bust of Soap and some NVG's - which are pretty cool the night you got them and got to toy around with them.
Now, you obviously didn't get all three editions (I hope), but now to put that all in perspective, you are spending $30 (across these two DLC map packs) to get only six new maps. I really don't count Vacant, Crash, Overgrown, and Strike as new maps. They aren't new; I played them for two-and-a half years. Its a complete cop-out to expect me to pay $12 (do the math) for maps that I can just go ahead and pop in my Call of Duty 4 disc and play. I'm sure there are still a few people out there playing Call of Duty 4. I would rather Infinity Ward not waste my time, bundle 3 new maps together and charge five bucks. If you want to play all the old CoD4 maps on Modern Warfare 2, charge 5 bucks to transfer all the multiplayer maps over. Rock Band did it with song tracks, why cant Modern Warfare do it?
TL;DR- Vote for Shipment.
I already gave them $150, which I regretted very quickly (there's one born every minute). They're not getting $30 more.
ReplyDeleteVOTE FOR SHIPMENT!
EDIT -- The double XP only works on the DLC, so those who have the game but not the additional content can't get double XP. However, you can still hack and get 10th prestige in about 20 or 30 minutes, so double XP weekends are still a joke.
It makes sense. Bobby Kotick is the son of Beelzebub.
