Modern Warfare 2 'Stimulus' DLC Hits PC
by Chris Faylor, May 04, 2010 10:20am PDTAs previously promised by publisher Activision, the downloadable "Stimulus Package" add-on for Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now available on PC.
The $14.99 add-on, sold via Steam on PC, brings five more multiplayer maps to the popular shooter. Three of those maps--Bailout, Storm and Salvage--are new, with the other two--Crash and Overgrown--returning from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
PlayStation 3 owners will be able to purchase the $14.99 add-on later today in North America and tomorrow in Europe, per the console's weekly PlayStation Store updates.
In celebration, "Infinity Ward will host nearly a week of Double XP for PlayStation Network and PC gamers May 4 - 9," publisher Activision noted in today's press release.
Released on Xbox 360 in March 2010, the "Stimulus Package" add-on was a timed exclusive for the console and shattered several records following its release. A second add-on is also in the works, and will likewise be available to Xbox 360 players first.

wasted £11.00 could have bought a ham roll
Payed for the new maps OK no problem, rip off? Maybe,buts thats my own choice.
But worse is that with the install of the stimulus package came a nice bug, I only can find players on stimulus game types. The "old" ones don't work anymore. It just does not find the players anymore on them.
Weird thing is that if someone without stimulus pack installed sets up a group and invites me I still can enter the "normal" game modes. Basicly I lost 80% percent of the game atm being able to only play stimulus en stimulus hard core and not ne of the otther "old" gametypes anymore.
Someone would expect that before such a package would be put online for sale some proper bug testing would hve been done.......this absolutely sucks big style. I wonder how long it will take before this is going to be fixed................

but the inability to choose game mode for them is the real fail here... i definately didn't see that coming, that should have been front page... 15 bucks should have covered a bit of UI, not just two words with astrerix on them....

I just want to play, but now the Steam server is too busy, ALL FUCKING DAY.
I might seem addicted, but I'm fucking irritated about this.
I don't have a lot of spare time for PC and now I can't even fucking do the things I want.
So, Activision - Infinity Ward - or I don't know who: GET THIS FIXED.

The new MW2 patch - probably including the stimulus pack (300mb?) - broke the IWNet connection.
That even gives me less reason to buy it...

2/5 of these maps are just touched up COD4 maps and I believe one of them is just a modified SinglePlayer map.
Hell I already thought I paid much for the game.
