World at War DLC reaches 2 million downloads

by Xav de Matos on May 5th 2009 4:45PM

Activision just sent word that the multiplayer map DLC for Call of Duty: World at War (otherwise known as Map Pack 1) has surpassed a combined worldwide download milestone of 2 million units across the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Needless to say, Activision seems pleased ... and why wouldn't it be? Map Pack 1 already broke Xbox Live sales records, selling one million units in its first week of availability.

Treyarch studio head, Mark Lamia, took a moment to comment on the "milestone," thanking the loyal community of World at War players for supporting the game -- and presumably, for not being completely tired of World War II themed shooters. Lamia also reminds gamers the World at War team expects to deliver new DLC sometime this June.

Was alright but i felt like one more map for the price would of been fair, oh and that i hadn't forgot to take it back to my flat with me after Easter.

I think the purchase was worth it for me.

2nd MP should be at a discount and priced at $4.99. I can guarantee they wont sell as many downloads this time around or even come close. I enjoyed the first MP but with KILLZONE 2 I forgot about COD:WAW and stopped playing the game.

The purchase was definitely worth it. However, every time "Station" comes up it gets skipped. Who buys DLC and then doesn't want to play it? I understand that it isn't the greatest map, but come on.

same thing happened with COD4's DLC. creek used to get skipped every time it showed up. now pretty much only the hardcore players play COD4 so now it doesn't get skipped as much.

Is the overall sales of W@W better than MW?

Don't know about that, but WAW on the 360 alone has sold about the same number of copies as Killzone 2, and MGS4 put together.

there are at least 14.3 million people that have played online on the PS3 and 360 as of the beginning of this year. that is right from IW and that doesnt include PC or offline players only.
For some reason, i dont think W@W has it that mark yet.

I still haven't purchased this game. I played it for the first time last night (only deathmatch and zombie nazi mode). It was pretty good. I would say I'll wait till I can get a used copy for $20 but by then MW2 will be out.

For some reason I never knew you could drive vehicles in multiplayer. It kind of seemed out of place in my opinion.

i didn't like map pack 1. the competitive maps irritated me a lot. the new nazi zombie map was AWESOME though. i can't wait for the next one.

I only got it for the zombie pack. they should do two zombies next time around. I don't even play the multiplayer. Only zombies.
i want some zombie trophies too..

I only play CODw@w for the zombies now too, so more maps+trophies is a instant buy for me, but what are the chances of that happening :(

DLC must be incredibly lucrative. Creating DLC costs only a fraction of the development cost of the full game. Reuse assets from the game, create a few new maps and/or costume packs with a small team and reap millions in profits.

It prints money!!!!

This still doesn't mean they are good maps, I bought them and feel ripped-off. More than half the time people vote them because of how terrible they, so nobody get's to play them anyways..

i just got W@W bout a month ago,cuz i was all bout KZ2.But i gotta say,after rockin W@W,n goin back to KZ2..KZ controls are too fuckin Heavy! i went back to W@W real quick..bring on mo Zombie Maps!!!!

oh i almost 4got..i have an issue,why does it take FOR-FUCKIN-EVER to find a game online on Zombies 2nd map? it literally takes 20mins or more..only tyme it works is if other friends join me. FIX IT!!

From what I've read, it's b/c players can't join zombie games on the fly...everybody has to be present before the round starts.

That's why it takes alot longer to get into a zombie game. Maybe they can change the mechanic slightly and allow for late drop-ins.

Is this across all consoles? I wonder why we haven't heard any DL numbers for the new Halo Mythic Pack...hmmm?

wow rly???? people buy dlc for this POS game??? theyre making more dlc maps for this and no more for MW??? cmon infinity ward...at least hurry up with MW 2!

^ I don't know, maybe...b/c it's NOT a POS? =D

Just b/c the guns aren't spray and pray, doesn't mean the game isn't any good. I definitely enjoy the bigger maps. Lots more places to hide and try and get the drop on people...

Maps on MW were way too linear...I always hated Downpour, especially on really unbalanced rounds.

What about the MP40? Nobody uses that gun.

LOL

personally I can't stand using that gun...can't tell you how many times I missed b/c it was recoiling all over the place. Why aren't more people spamming the STG-44?

What I really love is how those of us WITHOUT the map pack still see the maps come up on random rotation, and if we don't manage to skip the map (possibly because we just skipped a different MP map) then the game attempts to load and kicks anyone without the map from the lobby. What kind of piece-of-shit programming is that? Call up Infinity Ward and ask them how they did their pack, Treyarch, because obviously your programmers can't figure this shit out on their own.

one of my fav games, along with http://sfeed.com/set/462/
