Title: New MW2 Map Package
Post by: Vandy Vol on March 14, 2010, 09:05:20 PM

There is a map pack for Modern Warfare 2 coming out on March 30.  No price information is available yet, but there will be five maps, two of which are CoD4 maps (Crash and Overgrown).  I'm going to assume that the price won't be too bad, considering that the name of this map pack is the "Stimulus Package."

If it follows the lead of other downloads it will be $10.  It will have to be that to get em back into COD.  I am really digging Bad Company 2 right now

I would assume that they would normally stick with the standard price.  However, the title of "Stimulus Package" led me to believe that they may be offering it for a lower than normal price.

Apparently we are both wrong.  According to these articles, it's going to be $15.  Seems kind of odd that you would offer a "Stimulus Package" and have it cost more than your previous map packs.  Then again, this pack apparently has new game modes in it as well.
