They said that at E3. And to my surprise people were actually excited and made excited cheers! Why?

UPDATE!!! I googled proff and linkified it. There in fact will be TWO map packs at release. And if you think the link has no credibility then how about you try to find a Better one?

Because it's Modern Warfare, and people LOOOOVVVEEE that game...

...Activision has brain-washed us all to think that Day 1 Map Packs are good, though they could just be Activisionemployees in the crowd or people from Microsoft.

It's like when people were cheering for the Hannah Montanna PSP during Sony's.

Wait...are you serious? They are releasing content OUTSIDE of the game on Day 1, that they could put into the game that you are buying? Wow. I hate Call of Duty. It is official.

Hey Gears 2 had a map pack a day after launch or something. Well it made them money. Why not do the same with Modern Warfare 2? Its already being hyped everywhere! What an ingenious idea to make a quick buck!

Kind of hard to fake that it couldn't be included when you announce it a half year before release. Activision=evil empire of gaming.

Seems like the whole RE5 DLC all over again.

Expect to see more developers take out content from games and sell it back to us as overpriced DLC.

Yes, but for those who bought it used OR at very launch, PAY UP hahahhahaha!!!

The whole point of it was to encourage people to buy it new. Every new copy of Gears have the maps included for free. Besides, i didn't think you could even buy these maps on the Marketplace.

Aren't they also putting a subscription service on codmw2 as well? so not only the game (and $60 for pc too..highway robbery as it's not licensed to a console manufactor) and selling part of the multiplayer day1 for download, plus the sub service, and xbox - live (if you are on that side of the camp) horrible activision gets more repulsive every day. And I thought the blizzard no lan thing was the worst to come. I guess we should start to expect more ripping off the fans from Activision/blizzard each week?

Let's face it, if they can do it and people will buy it then they should (it's business after all), this sort of thing is happening because we the gamers allowed it to happen, now i know not all of us did BUT enough did to make the companies a profit. If more gamers simply said no and refused to buy it and it lost the companies money then things like this wouldn't happen as much as it does now, we have only ourselfs to blame as we are the ones that let it happen, if everyone who wasn't happy about this refused to buy the game aswell as the DLC then the companies would take notice BUT i would bet my live savings that MW2 will sell just as much as the first (if not more) regardless of DLC being released at launch, this is becasue as bad as it is most gamers are now used to being taken for a ride. Me, i vote with my wallet, if payed for DLC comes out around launch i refuse to buy the game, simple as that (it's not the 1st time i've done it).

We can't let the world be run by the stupid masses. If we let their intelligent and well informed *cough* consumer behavior determine what products arise, and in what shape or form, we will not live a happy life. No, they shouldn't have done this and i hope it bites them in their arse till it's blue. A company should strive to have a purpose, they're not supposed to be there to suck up the money. And i won't allow that way of thinking without at least leaving a comment though i know the world isn't that perfect (it's still no excuse to make it worse). We're all to blame yes (especially me >.>) but no they shouldn't have done it.

Screw that game man! It's the exact same thing as COD4! It's farking lame! All you do is press down L1 to position your cross hair and then R1 and the useless NPCs fall down like dominos. Another 5 hour campaign??? That's a joke. And so are these 1 Day Map Packs. PASSSSSS.

The charging for 'map packs' is pretty horrible to be honest. Added content is supposed to strengthen a community and sell more copies of the game, not divide the player base between people who have and dont have it. Ugh. Its how it was when online gaming started, and its how it still should be.

what?

If they released the map pack a month or two after then fine, at that point the onliner play needs spicing upa little.

But day 1???

That just pure milking...

That is just bad...

Day #1 map packs = milking! those maps should be in the game; there is no justifiable reason that states the developer has gone above and beyond the normal production of the game in making these maps. activision shows their greedy hand yet again and yet dumb consumers will just lap it up.
