Only Two Modern Warfare 2 Map Packs Planned

Map pack should be 100% free like any other map pack for pc. MW2 is a big fail till the end. Battlefield BadCo2 realease about 3 map packs, free for pc (like most of the game on pc). I don't know why they are not making this content free. I mean they are making more than enought money with their 4 hours campaing game. You won't get another 15$ dollars from me IW. You had more than enought from the pc community.

They "PLAN" on 2. Plans change and things unplanned arise.

Great , that means that MW3 is just around the corner.

Only 2? Shit that's better than just 1 (CoD4).

Am I the only one who thinks that heaps of map packs/expansions is a bad thing? I'm a PC gamer, so it's not just about the added price for console gamers.

If they plan on releasing heaps of map packs, it could mean that they purposely cut out content in the original. DLC is great, but in many cases it also becomes an excuse for developers to release the game before it is really ready or has sufficient content. As for customers, if you buy a game based on promises and not content, you are just increasing the risk of disappointment. The kind of DLC I value is not just map packs, but tweaks based on community feedback to make the game more balanced, or added mechanics that make the game more interesting while preserving balance.

So when I hear that Infinity Ward is 'only' releasing 2 map packs, that is really good news because it means that there is probably enough QUALITY already there that it doesn't need to continually be 'patched' with QUANTITY to keep players interested.

Well, the first modern warfare only had 1 map pack, right? I guess it's an improvement.

So long as they release the map editor thing for pc as they did with cod4, I'll be happy.

Of course, they don't much time to spend on this game because everyone will be very busy working on Call of Duty 843.

I just wish they would take Valve's ideas about continued content and apply it to MW2... the way the game works, with weapons and levels and upgrades and all that, new content (not just maps) would do so much for the game... I guess Valve has us spoiled with TF2 though.

I love Infinity Ward as a dev team. I love what they do with the CoD series, and LOVE MW and can't WAIT for MW2.

On the other hand I think they should support their games a bit more. 2 map packs is better then nothing, but I think they could do better. Maybe MS will basically make them because I'm guessing the map packs will sell better then WaW's by a lot.

I'm talking about map fixes, bugs, cheats etc. too. I think they could give us a little more post game support is all.

I wonder how much Microsoft paid up this time on a game.

so in theory this game will only cost early adopters $80.

Now if the ps3 slim will just launch before November in the US...

This kind of goes against IW and Activision's plan of printing their own money with this game. Meh.
