I'd have thought that was likely for the 1st DLC? Less development cost from IW / Activision..

Goat_Boy_jones

Yeah that clip looks a bit dodgey...Would be great to have crash and overgrown back tho...

Some of the new maps are only starting to grow on me now...

shanec1928

i presume that their going to be 800 ms points?

Battleflag

Time to start looking for some cheap microsoft points, looking forward in playing Crash again. Love that map

assuming that it's a map pack only and not this 'expansion pack' crap there has been rumours of. 800 has been the standard since COD 4

nevaeh-2die-4

any word if they will add some special ops.

Not The Real Scarecrow

Don't know how much truth there is to it but this is what's supposed to be in the dlc.
http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Stimulus_Package

There are six maps in total in the map pack. The first three maps are from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, while the other three are new.

* Crash
* Overgrown
* Shipment
* Complex
* Compact
* Storm

Challenges, Titles and Emblems

It is currently unknown what Challenges, Titles, and Emblems there are, only how many of each. There are 20 new Challenges, 10 Titles, and 10 Emblems.

Perks

Perks are going to be added in the map pack. The first two are new, while the third is from previous games.

* Quickhands (allows the player to switch weapons faster)
* Heterochromaniac (allows the player to toggle thermal vision)
* Overkill (allows the player to equip two primary weapons.)

Weapons

There are three new weapons to be added in the map pack.

* Dragunov - A semi-automatic sniper rifle.
* Skorpion - A submachine gun
* Unknown weapon

Special Ops

There are five new Spec Ops missions in the new section, "Foxtrot".

that means all the titles and emblems and challenges would be for the guns and perks...not really worth 1200 points but I'll more than likely buy it anyway :rolleyes:

giggsy664

Ah ffs.
They can't be charging for weapons and perks. It wouldn't be fair on those who won't get the DLC

If they charge, and if you can use them in amy game, I hope a boycott (á la BFBC1) is called.

Nuri Sahin

Doesn't sound all too promising or realistic tbf.

Oh and Dragunov and Skorpion, are they f'n serious :eek:
Bad enough they were putting in Shipment and not something like Strike but to have these crappy guns is ridiculous.
2 of the worst guns on COD4 IMHO espically Dragunov. Why not put in a bolt action sniper like the R700. I have a funny feeling(more so in hope really) the unknown weapon could be the M40 sniper.

If guns and perks are available in some free update or something, that's grand. Making it DLC is beyond retarded.

NeVeR

why do the PS3 maps not come out at the same time

Useful.Idiot

The Dragunov was probably the best sniper from Cod 4. I hated the R700. The scorpion was fun aswell, better than the mini-uzi in cod4.

Have IW ever mentioned before they were putting in new weapons and perks? This is news to me.

The source is in the post at the top: COD Wiki.



Or are you looking for the source that the wiki site are using? Can't really expect the OP to know that.

Goat_Boy_jones

That reeks of bull****...

How lazy and greedy is it to charge for maps that have already been created for MW1.

Not sure I'll bother buying this

I think it's awesome, I loved those maps, it'll be really great to get back to them imo.

Best.... in what way?

Consistent 2 shot kills was very common with the Dragunov. Might as well stick with the M21 which basically had no recoil.

R700 is old skool. It was the most powerful sniper. It had a ridiculous amount of recoil, yes. But compared to all of the other snipers espically the other bolt action, M40... it required skill.

did u play hardcore much in cod 4 ? cuz the drugunov was far and away the best one shot and ur enemy is down not as strong as the other snipers but why the excess strenght when u can do it in one anyway ? add that to the semi auto fire and u had a pretty solid sniper rifle . have to agree with the scorpion though can see that being the weopon of choice for people who simply sprint around the map trying to get as many kills as possible and not even worrying about their ratio

marko91

why did infinity ward and microsoft agree to this deal?...it will NOT go out and make me buy a xbox, all its making me want is to boycott this DLC..what is either companys gaining for 30 days exclusive maps?..besides infinity ward getting a sh1t load of cashcertanly microsoft cant benefit much from it

Come on now, I pressume you've heard of the M21 sniper and be it Hardcore or standard what advantage does the Dragunov have over the far superior M21?

Anyway I was talking about the Druganov in the sense that most people play standard, not hardcore. So the inclusion of Druganov is frankly BS I believe. When clearly another bolt action sniper is needed in MW2.

Unless you want to use a golden sniper in COD4, then I can see why people would use the Druganov.

Oh and yes, I played a hell of a lot of Hardcore though mainly in COD4.

As much as I despise Microsoft for paying millions apon millions to get a step ahead. At least they are doing their best to get ahead and it's admirable. But considering us PS3 owners have to wait 30 days, it's not all bad. TBH I thought we'd have to wait for a few months or more like the GTA IV DLC content.

Microsoft paid $50M for GTA IV DLC and PS3 owners still waiting for it. It'd be interesting to know how much the contract between Activision and MS is worth.

simple!! for the people who have both xbox 360 and ps3 would more than likely have bought modern warfare for the xbox 360 since hearing about the advancement on getting the dlc. Also if they have the game for both consoles they will probably buy it on the xbox 360 instead of the ps3 as it will be out on it first. Microsoft will get a cut on the sales!!!

beisdes getting something before someone else just makes you cooler. At least that is microsofts way of thinking.

nevaeh-2die-4

only going to get it because of the special ops missions.

i went off mw2 last month i was sick of all this boosting bollox going on.

i have gone back to playing nazi zombies.....i wish they would release more of that!!!!

listen mate readin back over that i did sound a lot like i had my head up my own ar*e so sorry about that. im not saying its by far the best or anything like that and i understand a lot of people play the standard team deathmatch or free for all just for myself if the drugunov is in anyway like the last game it'l be handy . i only ever play hardcore these days ,find the 10 year olds dont like it much, so something that fires fast and kills with one hit sounds pretty handy . the little flare of panic in the second or so it takes to load the bolt action after i missed brings me pretty close to a stroke:pac:

ah good old nazi zombies i had really hoped they'd introduce something at least half way similar to it in mw2 but i guess spec ops aint too bad

Overkill is gonna be awsome if they put it in

Pretty stupid to have both an XBox and a PS3? What are you talking about?? :rolleyes: Loads of great reasons to have both systems if you can afford them.

Besides being able to get games exclusive to the platform, what reasons would they be? If people didnt buy consoles just to be able to play a specific game, then all games would be available on all platforms.

Well I was including the range of exclusives games as different reasons. But another one is obviously the BluRay in the PS3. Not as big a deal now that bluray players have come down in price, but still nice.

I don't agree with your last sentence. The manufacturers are looking for market advantage. Getting exclusives is a great way of them doing that, from their point of view. That isn't likely to change.

That was my thinking aswell. Also alot of people buy a ps3 for a blu ray player. Uncarted 2 was an excellent game and so was the halo franchise. Alot of people will buy both consoles for that exact reason.

There is alot of different reasons for why microsoft wanted to get the dlc early. Maybe it was to laugh in sony's face and say HAHA we have it before you do, Or it was so that they will make money on it. They made a bundle on the exclusve gta 4 content. Although that was exclusive a 30 headstart will still make them money in my eyes.

I have a 360 for gaming and a ps3 for the blu-ray, when you think about the ps3 is one of the best blu-ray players out there and also very good value.

Snake Plisken

yeah well I have both consoles and have MW2 on the PS3, but Play had a deal this week to buy MW2 on the 360 for €32 so I jumped at it for two reasons one I can follow boosters from game to game until they give up and two I'll but the DLC and get to know the maps inside out before they hit the PS3

Kev_ps3

I bought mw2 for 360 a few weeks ago, traded it in last week for battlefield. Couldnt get used to the analogue sticks, think the ps3 controller is alot better.

I'm the opposite , i even got a cross adapter for the ps3 but still couldnt get into it.

Dublindude69

I think they should make something extra for those that Prestige. I mean, something like 4 killstreaks instead of 3.

That wouldn't really work, unless you catagorized the killstreaks.
Without catagorization, people would get nukes every second match.
Predator-> Harriers -> ChopperGunner -> Nuke

However, if they catgorized them;
Recon Planes
Airdrops
Tier 1 Air support (5-7 Kill streak)
Tier 2 Air support (9-11 Kill streak)
Miscellaneous(Nuke/EMP)

that would prevent people doing what I said above if they could only choose one from each catagory.
Just my two cents
