Activision hoping for 'two, maybe three' CoD: World at War DLC packs

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Dec 2nd 2008 at 3:30PM }

And depending on how much you enjoyed Treyarch's first-person war-em-up, you might feel the same way. Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, Call of Duty: World at War executive Daniel Suarez teased the game's upcoming DLC, which is to be formally announced in 2009. Activision hopes to improve on the relatively modest DLC released for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare by creating "potentially two, maybe three packs" before everyone's reeled in by the next CoD.

When prodded for specifics about Codwaw dee elsee, Suarez noted, "It's not going to be what we've done traditionally. I'll leave it a little bit mysterious." Ooh! You know what would be radically untraditional? Releasing a few maps for free!

We're just saying.

"You know what would be radically untraditional? Releasing a few maps for free!"

Oh Ludwig, you and your puns.

Haggard @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:37PM

Wait, was that a pun or a witticism?

Courtney @ Dec 2nd 2008 4:01PM

Probably more witticism, but just putting "free" and "Activision" in the same context together seems to jump it closer to a pun in absurdity level.

And if they're anything like COD4's DLC multiplayer maps, they'll sell thousands of them and players will veto them every time they come up in the play list.

ChiTownRuler23 @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:41PM

and what about COD4 at least make 2 more packs plz cuz COD WAW isnt my cup of tea

GUNT @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:43PM

They'll all be on the 360.

Phizzy @ Dec 3rd 2008 5:29AM

Yes, and they'll all be on the PS3 as well. Well done.

xFenixKnightx @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:43PM

MOAR Zombie Maps!!! Oh and 5 players would be better.

Cheapo @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:45PM

Bullcrap. Unless they're released in the next 6 months we'll never see them. In 6 months time we'll see marketing for COD6 and Activision won't want the old crap to be taking attention (and possible future sales) away from COD6.

Remember COD4? Biggest online game ever, fastest selling DLC ever, and yet as soon as COD5 was announced all support was abandoned for it to keep the old product out of the press.

DLC and Sequels don't mix, like oil and water they are.

Hafk @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:57PM

Unless DLC is announced to be compatable.

DLC and Sequels mix. Rock Band 2 is the perfect example of that.

However, this isn't happening with the CoD franchise, unsuprisignly.

sk8monroe81 @ Dec 2nd 2008 4:27PM

cheapo- when did activision say that there would be 2-3 DLC releases for cod4?
i dont remember that happening.

now this was said to us...
if they release only 1 map pack before cod6 then they lied...

if they release more DLC then they told the truth.
we will have to see.

Waunel @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:53PM

I hate DLC unless it's free

Ranus Studios @ Dec 2nd 2008 3:56PM

I am going to start referring to it as Codwaw from now on.

RyFar206 @ Dec 2nd 2008 4:07PM

A couple of DLC packs would be nice. Some more maps of course, but also more zombie maps (letting people play as the zombies a la L4D would be cool) and maybe more weapons. Also, more CoD4 stuff would be nice too. Plenty of people still play it.

ray rifle! you heard it here first guys!

Brent @ Dec 2nd 2008 4:11PM

COD: Modern Warfare and Free maps for it? I haven't played that game in awhile but is there still peeps online playing it seeing the new COD:world at war is out and a hot seller?

I can't believe how fast these COD series are coming out. I can't keep up. New Guns and Maps would be nice if they could add a flame thrower =)
