Still frustrates how it'll be on 360 first, not because it's 360 but because Activision are being greedy by giving it temp exclusivity.

Anyway it's a cool idea.

Yay, more maps that will catered to campers and the CoD4 maps wont work on MW2 due to the large killstreaks.
Shipment w/ OMA + Danger Close AC130 will make me rage quit errday.

More maps? More maps for people to learn. This is a paradox guys.

If IW are smart, they wont do that.

If IW are really smart, they won't care as people will buy it anyway.

If Crash and Overgrown are actually the only two old maps in the new pack, I will be amazed because they're my two favourites :D

Microsoft beat Sony to the punch and payed money for the DLC to come on their platform first.

Obviously a company, if they want to suceed would accept such an offer.

Maps are a rip off anyway, I'm not pay 1200 MS points for two maps I've already played (on CoD4) and 3 new maps, when MW2 is such a broken unfun game to play.

& I think one maps just a reskin (like chinatown). Also I doubt Sony actually attempted to get them imo, 1 month exclusivity is pointless tbh.

has sony ever gotten an exclusive download before microsoft on a big game :S?

I don't think they've ever got timed exclusivity and it is kinda a waste of money really.

I must admit I can't see the point. One map pack isn't going to make tons of PS3 users switch to the 360. I'll probably end up getting the map pack eventually, but I doubt it'll be for some time.
The problem I think will appear is that because it's slightly over priced, I doubt a lot of people will get it straight away, thus the chances of the new maps appearing in the map rotation is quite slim. I mean look at it already, I don't know if it's just me but getting maps like Terminal and Skidrow seem to be a lot rarer than Rundown and Underpass

That's such a good point! If not many people buy it, then you'll never get on it anyway... that's put me off completely now. Even when I first got MW2, it only put me on the same four or five maps constantly for the first month or two. Then I suddenly discovered a whole load of others but even then, there was still at least one that I never ever saw.

I play like every night from 9pm till about 1/2am, and I've played on nights where I don't see maps at all. Last night I didn't play on Terminal once. Considering I played for almost 5 hours, it's quite stupid

They should make it so each map has the same chance of popping up. Why they dont do that i don't know.

What they should actually do is allow us to create lobbies and choose which lobby we wish to join rather than just throwing us into any random one. That way you could always play the maps you like and stay away from the ones you don't like.

Yeah this really. I suppose we should stop ******** and get used to the other maps, but it seems odd that MW2 is packaged with what, 6/7 maps and I play nights when I only see 3/4 of them.

I think they are targeting owners with both a PS3 and 360 like myself. If the content was released on both platforms at the same time I would not know which to get it on but now 360 is getting it 1 month before, I'll get it on 360.

when I first got mw2 I didn't play on rust for 2 weeks because it never came around, and I ended up being dissapointed by its size.

It seems that on most maps I only ever spawn on one side and never change, no idea why this is.

More like 15 maps packaged.

Also the maps are based on popularity to the game mode so if you only stay in one game mode then you won't get some :P Also some maps don't appear in some modes at all.

The worse maps in the game are Derail, Estate and Wasteland imo.

I've gone past my whole COD phase now but I'm thinking of getting it again - and then this map pack - to play with a friend. That means I have to go for the PS3 option. It's worrying though, because the problem of too few people having the maps will be even worse on PS3.

Throughout my whole COD playing time, FFA was the only game mode I did for about 99% of the time. For the first few weeks I never saw at least 5 or 6 of the maps, but then suddenly I started playing on loads of maps I had never seen before yet I was still only playing FFA.

The maps I hate most are derail, underpass, quarry and scrapyard.

The ones I do best on: terminal, sub base, wasteland, highrise, skidrow and estate.

What time are they supposed to come out???

My brother thought he had them for free before because there was some new game mode that put him in a lobby with the Crash map but then when the game started it errored lol :L

First day of playing, I got the maps later then everyone else because of the server errors.. I took an immediate disliking to Storm. Campers with SPAS EVERYWHERE! :@ Every corner I turn, a guy with foregrip shoots across the map and down I go. :(

I've realised how they've solved the problem for the new map pack. Even if you don't have the new maps, it will still put you in lobbies with them and just force you to leave. Must be annoying for those people but at least it means we don't have to worry about never playing the maps we've paid for. Although I wouldn't mind to an extent because I didn't actually pay for them and the three brand new ones are diabolical.

Oh I see, that's how it works. I thought it was like Gears 2 and COD 4, where the maps don't come up in the lobby if someone in the lobby doesn't have them. Well, I assume it happened on COD 4, I never got the map pack, and I never got kicked out for not having them.
I assumed every lobby I got into, everyone had the map packs
16-04-2010, 12:50 PM
Black_Apalachi

Yeah I know. I only think this because someone was in a lobby yesterday saying that they didn't have the map so were going to leave. Could have been a one off glitch but considering how often I'm playing the new maps, I think this is correct.
