The $15, five map Stimulus Pack for Modern Warfare 2 hits the Xbox 360 next week on March 30 and the PS3 on April 30.
Notice that they do not mention when it will come out for the PC.  Huh?

While Bowling disagrees with those who say that the 328 MB map pack is over priced, he also pointed out to Kotaku that it is Activision, not Infinity Ward, that set the pack's price.
This download is going to be ~328MB!  Shocked
Now we know who to blame for the pricing.  Angry

Well that was a given!  They are the publisher, they decide all pricing.  I can't believe the 360 got an exclusive on the map pack for a full month.  I figured they would get a couple weeks but not a month.  Guess we'll have to wait and see if it even comes out on the PC.

If it does... It should be free... I mean, honestly, 15 bucks for 5 maps (3 of which are new).  This is a striaght up money grab, and you can clearly tell they don't want to support the commuinity by giving us over priced packs instead of adding usful things like a VOTE KICK for hackers and what not.

Although... Those maps look pretty darn cool... *shakes head... NO! can't...give...in...

I am getting the Maps for the 360 tonight. I know 15 bucks is alot, but bringing back my favorite map Overgrown is great. Hopefully they are giving something extra thats on the hush hush. Probably not but I can only hope :-)

Eww, you liked Overgrown?  I mean it was alright, but definitely not one of their best by far.

The only time I'm going to buy anything else from Infinity Ward will be -IF- they release something for dedicated servers.  Even then it'll depend on whether or not BPN hosts one.

Guard: Surrender, Assassin, and I promise you a quick and easy death.
Assassin: I could promise you the same, but it would be a lie.
