Bowling: Activision, not Infinity Ward, is in-charge of the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Pack pricing |

With the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package set to arrive early this week on the Xbox 360, a lot of gamers are still raising their eyebrows with the hefty price tag of upcoming map pack. So what gives? Well, according to Infinity Ward’s community manager Robert Bowling, it's in fact Activision, not Infinity Ward, that set the price of the map pack:
All pricing is handled by Activision outside of Infinity Ward. We really focus on all the creative content and let them handle all the business.
When asked about the US$ 15 price tag of the DLC and going head-to-head with Battlefield: Bad Company 2's free DLC, Bowling said:
You know players will always react to any price that’s announced, but I think from a content standpoint, anyone who is playing Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer and is dedicating a lot of hours to it is definitely going to get their money’s worth from this map pack. This adds for some players hundreds and hundreds of hours of new gameplay to it, and on maps that have been proven to have a lot of mileage. I don’t think anyone who picks up this map pack is going to be disappointed with the purchase.
I’m a big fan of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and I’m excited for the new game modes on those maps. But yeah, we don’t expect other games to stop supporting their communities because we’re supporting ours. And we’re excited about the content we’re bringing to our guys and we know they’re going to be excited about it.
Scheduled to arrive on the Xbox 360 on March 30 and will soon hit the PS3 next April, the downloadable content features five multiplayer maps, including two classic maps from Call of Duty 4.

This may even be incentive enough to prestige.
*checks time played* O_O
ewww, but then again, I sure do love my bling ACR and upgraded perks, I don't think the extra custom class is really that worth it to go through all of this again.

All i see people do in BF multiplayer is camp vehicle spawn spots, where MW2 is chaotic and fast pace action.

All I see in MW2 is camping and idiots who run out into the open begging to be shot.
All I see in BC2 is people finding a good sniping spot and doing what they would do in a real life situation, sitting there providing sniper support for their team on the field.
As for the team on the field, I see and do what many others do, storm a building, blow it up, run and hide behind things and then shoot till I don't know what's what and have fun.
BC2 is more realistic and fun than MW2 could ever be, yes this is personal opinion but let's be honest now, BC2 has more effort put into it and offers so much more than MW2 does.

MW2= Nothing but camping and idiots running around blindly. The maps suck, the perks are unbalanced, and there is zero teamwork.
I know all you pot smoking, teenage, frat morons love all the weed refrences and rediculous perks that throw away teamwork... but try playing a game that takes skill, communication, and TACTICS. None of which are found in MW2, and all of which are at the center of BFBC2.
"joint ops AHAHAHAHA"

After all the hacking & glitching we've had to put up with it'd sure be nice to see Infinity Ward show some fan appreciation for the "Biggest Entertainment Launch of All-Time".
This will probably be the last CoD game I purchase.
