Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 'Resurgence Pack' DLC Hitting Xbox 360 in June
by Alice O'Connor, May 13, 2010 7:00am PDTFive new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer maps will arrive for Xbox 360 in the 'Resurgence Pack' downloadable content on June 3, publisher Activision has revealed.
The video games leviathan declined to date the DLC's eventual PC and PlayStation 3 releases or to name a price. However, Activision Blizzard COO Thomas Tippl recently declared that the $15 price of Modern Warfare 2's first DLC "has still provided a fantastic value to gamers." He added "we think that has worked"--no surprise considering the 'Stimulus Package' broke Xbox Live records when it launched on March 30.
The Stimulus Package also offered five multiplayer maps, two of which were from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The PC and PlayStation 3 releases followed later, on May 4.
While Infinity Ward is currently in turmoil, its sister studio Treyarch is beavering away to release Call of Duty: Black Ops, the next instalment in the series, on November 9.

I play COD6 every week with a bunch of guys from work most of which don't own ANY other games - 2 of them bought PS3's JUST for COD and have barely played any games before that. To them they paid for COD6 and have over 100 hours of gameplay from it AT LEAST and as such $15 is nothing compared to the value/time of say a film at the cinema.
Because they bought it, I had to, to carry on playing with them. It was worth it too because the fun of playing regularly with a bunch of mates is worth it. I wish I could convince them to try another game but I don't see it happening because it would require 6 people to all buy a new game and none of them are bored of COD yet :(

I still play MW2 occasionally on weekends with friends, and ironically it's the fact that the maps are in their own playlist that has discouraged me from purchasing even more than the price. I don't want to play the same 5 maps over and over and over, then have to switch back to another playlist just for the vanilla maps. DLC is such a bankrupt concept. I'm not opposed to spending money for new content, I just want content that doesn't suck.

While I agree some games are worth more than others and this quite possibly is one of those, gamers are in the same risk/reward position as the publishers. Some games you pay for any they don't pan out. You buy a few games, some of them may be turds, but you have a good shot at one of those giving you a great long and/or replayable single player, or tons of hours with multiplayer.
But others are fire and forget. You pay $60 and the game sucks. And more and more you have less shot of selling it to get some of your money back.
This new trend has only led me to wait until the game price drops. I paid $45 for MW2 on 360, and now I just stopped playing because I don't feel like paying an extra tax to keep playing online with friends. Fuck it.
