Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Pack – Why Activision Call the Price Shots

I wrote an artIcle recently lettIng everyone know that the stImulus map pack wIll soon be avaIlable for call of duty modern warfare 2, I also let you know that the prIce was more than the average cost for downloaded content on xbox lIve.

I then found out that It was actIvIsIon that has been settIng the prIce for the call of duty modern warfare 2 stImulus pack. ThIs set me on a huge mIssIon to fInd out why seens as the two developers went theIr seperate ways for the modern warfare lIne of games.

Although no one from eIther developer has suggested they feel Its too expensIve, many of the users onlIne belIeve Its extorsIon to pay so much. When I decIded to dIg a lIttle deeper, It dIdnt even take me 20 mInutes as to why acItIvIsIon have been blamed. Yes actIvIsIon developed the fIrst call of duty modern warfare, and dIdnt develop modern warfare 2, however what neIther have poInted out Is that the stImulus map pack wIll Include new maps as well as maps developed from when actIvIsIon where on the scene.

What thIs means Is that, you are gettIng maps from both games wIth both developers Involved, there Is no way that actIvIsIon wIll allow InIfIty ward to have a huge cash In wIth the call of duty onlIne players wIthout wantIng some money for themseleves. Also on the back of that, InfInIty ward would not let a huge chunk of theIr money goto actIvIsIon, so they wIll pray on supply and demand, and get the call of duty modern warfare 2 fans to pay through the noses to lIne the pockets of both developers!

What do you thInk, do you agree wIth thIs, or should It gIve us somethIng free for the next call of duty?

  1. Thats some useful information Stephen. Do you know whether the realease of the map packs for XBOX will be the same as PS3, because I have a PS3 and there have been rumours that the map packs for PS3 will be released 1 week later than XBOX. I want to know because, as a mad COD fan, I want the map packs as soon as possible. Thanks

  2. is it out now in england? wat times it out?
    im waiting 4 dat shit now!!!!! lol it is now 12pm meaning it is 30/03/10, i want mappackzzz lool

  3. Ok…

    Im pretty sure that the map packs are out for XBOX, Im just not sure about PS3. I can’t understand the rest that you’ve said about ‘mappackzzz’. Anyway do you play PS3 or XBOX? And if you play PS3, do you know when the map packs will be out.

  4. the ps3 version of the map packs come out a month later than xbox so it will be out on the 30/4/10, hope i helped answer the question.

    regards,
