LingeringSoul Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 $15 for the new maps on 360. Mehhh Seconded. I'm happy to see that they're bringing back Crash from CoD4, as that was my favourite map from the game, but unless I was playing MW2 fanatically, I wouldn't pay 1200 MS points for five maps, two of which aren't even new. I already had no plans of putting this game back in my system, but this just seals the deal.

+Mystic MVC Posted March 15, 2010 MVC Share Posted March 15, 2010 Don't see why everybody is so up in arms. Bungie charges $10 for 3 maps but no complaints there? 5 maps for $3 a pop isn't bad even if they are pulling two old maps. Either way I got free MS points I'll be spending on it so I guess I shouldn't be posting a retort. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebiacsi Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 ^ This. I've got some spare points that will go towards the dlc, but really is it that bad paying 1200 ms points for 5 maps?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like they had a lot of work to do considering they just ported 2 of the maps from CoD4, this is exactly why they went the IWNet route, you cant use any maps apart from the ones IW/Activision can sell you.

Hedon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 But we have no idea how much time, work and money is involved creating the 3 new maps and the 2 updated maps. You can only speculate. That is unless you are a game dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted March 18, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 18, 2010 The only problem i have is; Overgrown. EVERYONE used to snip on that map, The only map people snipped on. Everyone snips on MW2 anyway... So yeah... Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone snips on MW2 anyway... So yeah... Fail. So you're implying that everyone snipes on every map in MW2? Sure, people snipe... but not everyone. Having played CoD4 on the X360 and PC, I can say that I didn't run into too many snipers on overgrown. Most people used assault rifles on that map. The ones that did snipe would get sneaked up on.

Razorwing Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I don't find Sniping a problem.. I find camping is a problem.. every one camps waaay too much. Recently I went to a map (forgot which one it was) and everyone (including my own team) was hibernating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas-c Veteran Posted March 20, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2010 Ok, i get the idea... it's snipe!!!! :p Been playing CoD4 again today and wow... Knifing is so much harder... Actually... Everything is, 20-13 K/D and only 324 points match bonus compared to say, 2000-3000 MW2 match bonus. Discovered a new love for Hardcore: HQ pro. I tend to hang back watching the HQ with a .50 thermal with Scavenger, cold blooded and ninja... 22-3 is my best so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troGGers Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Anyone having issues getting matchmaking still? Supposedly it's fixed but it's taking me 10+minutes to get a lobby now. My internet's not bad by any means 5gb/756kb, 0% packet loss, and my ping to servers across the US are just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Lots of sniping on MW2? WHA??!?! MW2 is mostly run and gun with SMGs and Assault Rifles. You must be thinking of Bad Company 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO BEST "Comic" Ever! I saved it. Funny thing is, people are NOW learning not to RECON. Ive found 4 good servers that still stay bold in my favorites and history and work great that have GOOD RANDOMS, well now they are regulars but yeah. Other then that a lot of people like to recon for no apparent reason. Especially on Valdez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 there's alot of talk about the maps being overpriced, but compared to the usual 3 maps for 800mspoints, 1200 for 5 is pretty fair. And there was never much moaning about those prices. probably just the MW2 hate. Although I think 200mspoints a map should be the max, though they do charge 250 for a theme.... I'll probably get these when the price drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingeringSoul Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Robert Bowling Explains Why the MW2 Map Pack is a good value Oh Robert. If you have to explain why it's a good value, it's probably not a good value. Smartass comments aside, I kinda see his point. Mainly (emphasis mine): Anybody who buys them and then plays Modern Warfare 2 hardcore online is going to get their money?s worth out of these maps. I think you really have to be a hardcore MW2 player (hardcore in the sense that you play often, not hardcore the game mode) in order to get your money's worth from these. Back when I was playing, I was only putting in about three hours a week, so something like this would not have given me my money's worth. My friend's brother was going for three hours a day, so he would have definitely sunk quite a few hours into each of these maps. It all comes down to the individual, I guess.

Un4given Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm not a "hardcore" player, but i will say they are worth the money. I enjoy the new maps, and look forward to when they pop up. Granted, i play alot of TDM/MTDM/FFA, but still, its fun to play on them. +1 for a good map pack IMO, regardless of cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted April 5, 2010 MVC Share Posted April 5, 2010 The new maps are are pretty fun surprisingly enough. I was a bit put off initially because my first new map was Bailout. I just hate that map. Just like the map transition from Halo 2 to Halo 3 and from the original MW to MW2, the map is HUGE and slows down the gameplay quite a bit. Salvage is a ton of fun and reminds me of fun small MW maps. The rain type map is a decent mix of indoor/outdoor action, takes a bit of getting used to because it seems quite big at first. Crash is as fun as usual. Overgrown seems a lot easier to handle in terms of managing a Domination game which is a nice change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingeringSoul Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 So apparently the Stimulus Package was downloaded 2.5 million times in one week: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/07/modern-warfare-2-stimulus-package-sells-over-2-5m-units-in-a-w/ Looks like we'd better learn to love our new $15 map packs.
