Activision has revealed that they are planning to release two map packs as DLC for Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC), which has yet to be launched on November 10. Is anyone surprised by this? I didn't think so. Here's what Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith had to say regarding the game's DLC:
In terms of online content, we plan to launch two separate map packs for this title. Map packs help extend the shelf life of the franchise, as evidenced by the strong catalogue sales and premium pricing that we maintained a year-and-a-half after launch. Life to date, weÂ’ve had strong success with map packs on this franchise, selling more than 8 million units for both the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Griffith also said that Modern Warfare 2 has already amassed the largest pre-orders in Activision history, calling the game the "must-have title of the year"

How many included maps must a game have before it's okay to say "Okay, now the DLC is warranted?"

This has nothing to do with what they can include on the disc.
It extends the life of the game.
Say you buy the game in November, play it non-stop until December, then get bored.
Then January a new map pack comes out, so you decide to dust off the game and put it back in your drive. You play non-stop until April and get bored again.
June a new map pack comes out so you take out the game once again.
It extends your playtime from 2 months to over 6.
Now the only thing you can technically argue is paying for the maps, unless they were developed after the game was released. An alternative to this is charging 79.99 instead of 59.99 for the game ($20 for the additional map development), but who wants to pay more for a game if they aren't sure they're going to download the map packs?

To be honest, I reeeally don't get why they even announce something like this right now. The two previous games (MW1, WAW) both had multiple DLC map packs released after the games were out, so I think everyone can basically guess that the same will apply for this game. I guess they just had nothing better to say about the game at this moment, and decided to state the obvious.
It seems the game is all ready to be released like right now, but they're just waiting for the big date, and while they're at it they'll just design more maps.
But yeah, I'd rather buy just the game without the extra maps for 59.99 than with them for 79.99.
Anyhow, I'm sure the game will still sell like ice cream in Sahara.
(Psst, ChaosZero112: that means it will sell a lot.)
By the way, I love how you say that the map pack coming out in your example triples the playtime of the original game.

Speaking regarding the DLC, the last time they only released 1 map pack even though they promised to release 2, the original map pack and the gamer contest created pack. they decided t just make one, and when asked about the second pack they gave the excuse that they were already working on a new game and they would not be supporting COD4 further. I hope they drop that philosophy this time around and provide extended support to the game like Treyarck has done with WaW.

@ JaXeRiR:
As long as the make the game long enough and satisfying, then the notion of DLC on the way might excite gamers -- further hyping the game before its release. I'm not sure all gamers are as responsible with their spending as you are, and won't really plan or think about spending that money. They'll just buy it to continue playing on line with their friends, or just for the competition.

so if you buy the prestige edition thats $150 plus the map packs... thats $170. with all that money you can buy almost 3 games. lol
