Now show me how many of those people actually bought it...since they primarily seem to be mad about the price, I kind of doubt they all did.

And lol @ 173 people being the entire community.

I would say a large amount of people who rated it bad are MW2 haters.

I haven't actually bought the Dlc or played the maps but it seems that the price tag alone has meant that most people consider it a flop regardless of the content.

There are definitely more haters than lovers when it comes to MW2 on this website.

The majority of people who bought the game aren't like us, so that stands to reason.

true but this website doesn't represent mainstream casual gaming. there is a big hardcore element here who can see that MW2 isn't all its cracked up to be.

Well, it has 5 maps if I remember well and two of them are from MW1, I don't think that justifies the price. No doubt people hate this new map pack.

You know, I was wondering why people were bashing this DLC so much, figured it was just MW2 hate as usual on this website. But then I saw the price, 1200pts seriously WTF? That's how much the episodes for GTA4 costs. Screw buying that. Even if I'm a MW2 fan

The majority of MW's audience treat gaming as a pastime, not a hobby. They would maybe come on here occasionally, but they would hardly hang around System Wars. That's what the distinction is between casuals and hardcore here. But the idea that casuals somehow can't tell a good game from a bad one gave me a pretty good laugh. Way to further the stereotype of the elitist gamer.

And those who are fanboys, rated it "perfect." That is why it is an average, to balance out all the padded votes on both sides of the argument.

They paid $15 for maps. Their opinion is worthless, as their IQ's are so very tiny.

The silenced shotgun was obviously something that was started and popularised by No Country For Old Men... I have no problem with stuff like that as long as it isn't bad for balance, shame that it failed in that area most though.

I know about all this. But it doesn't change the fact that needlessly hating on a game, whether it's MW2 or not, is childish. Honestly I find that MW2 gets too much hate, and I think it's the weakest game since CoD2. Like it or not, it does a fair amount of things right that make it a solid game on its own. You can go ahead and beat on a dead horse though, by all means.

Come on man, if a game has problems or we think it's bad, shouldn't we hate it? I mean I'm not gonna go around praising a game I think sucks.

I'm not saying that. I'm well aware of the glaring flaws MW2 has, but I've said my piece on it and moved on. People here just can't seem to let it go.

For example, I hate Portal. But I don't spam hate posts everytime the game is mentioned.

Damn, seeing the gameplay vids of the MW2 variant of Overgrown has really reminded how much better CoD4 was. It's simple killstreak system wasn't the sole focus of the game, SMGs were something you would actually be afraid of, and stupid things like heartbeat monitors were nowhere to be found...

Whether those guys are fanboys or haters, it's a barely subjective opinion to suggest that those maps aren't worth the money... it doesn't help that two of them are actually in COD4, which was a far more balanced game.

Unfortunately, probably enough people for Activision to think: "This was a great idea!" D:
