Call of Duty map packs enlist 20 million
69
Activision has announced that, as of June 30, 2010, the Call of Duty franchise has managed to sell 20 million map packs life-to-date. So apparently this Call of Duty thing is kind of a big deal. In other news: water is wet and cookies are delicious.

@BrianH Geez, can we stop calling people sheep ffs? Nobody's voting for senators or presidents because they're handsome, nor are they drinking kool aid as the comets fly over. This is about freaking video game DLC, and from a game that is the only game played at all for some people.

I've done my due diligence to burn $30 on this DLC.
God help us all.

@Sandite5 Do you know what that expression means? Because I really don't think you're using it in the right context. He called people who bought the maps sheep, I said it was stupid to call them sheep, what's there to go over my head?

I still haven't bought these packs out of protest, but it looks like it hasn't done any good.

I never even bought World at War, so the last (and only) map pack I bought for a COD game was the one for 4 (which I was honestly a little disappointed by).

I hated the DLC in W@W.... not the maps themselves or anything (they were a better deal), but the fact that they matched people who owned the maps with people who didnt.
If you didn't purchase you were constantly having to leave lobbies b/c it picked a map you don't own

What kind of cookies are we talking about, though?
Anything with coconut is 'not' delicious.
Also, congrats Activision. Success well deserved!

Just a tip, but when you go into a rant about idiots, you might want to try to not spell as one.

@Streeks1984 meaning the map packs were a great attempt at robbing the gamer out of there money paying so much for so little but idiot gamers don't see it like that because of there lack of being educated on this topic. Those whom bough COD4 should see that they incorporated maps that they already purchased these supposed "NEW MAPS" in MW2 and they will still pay 15 bucks for it....when a company knows they have that kind of influence....sky is the limit. its a shame though I thought that gamers would be a little smarter and see what is going on here.....but atlas they are uneducated so its not there fault i guess.

your spelling sucks, as well as your punctuation. (i'm exempt because i dont like to capitalize).
as far as your rant.. seriously, wtf? who cares if people are sheep to a videogame franchize? you can be smart and save your money for something else, but do you really need to go as far as calling people "idiots" who enjoy a particular game & spend more money on it? waste of time & energy. heck i dont even like FPS & never played a COD game and i feel a need to defend them from your ignorance.

@The BZA Well I don't believe that I am writing a college paper so punctuation and spelling are not as important, but seeing as how this offends you and others I will try my best going forward. Now to further elaborate on what I wrote previously the ends don't justify the means with activisions offering of these map packs. They are robbing you with each sale because they have you spending more and getting less because they tell you the new stuff in there is worth buying. For one to believe that yes makes you an idiot and idiots will believe everything if it is pretty and or shinny enough.
How was the grammar and punctuation on that one?

Your failure to utilize proper punctuation is what makes it difficult to understand what you are saying; not that the people reading it are "dumb."
Thanks for the irony, though.

@Zoot Suit Jedi Grammar Hammer En Yes I see that now and you are correct I will certainly do my best in the future. I really don't like it when others do that as well so I really should stop myself so I don't dig myself a deeper grave. lol

So, what are u trying to say is that people is stupid for buying maps that were rebumped from a previous game to a newer one, while the gamers who bought that DLC might or might not have played those maps.
So, Activision creates a game that sells shitloads of copies, cause its fun, i loved the mp and moved on, and then they decide to release a DLC (overpriced in my opinion) and gamers respond buying lots of DLC cause they feel that 15 dollars will enhance thir gaming experience, and it does.
So, the gamer win cause they get more stuff for their game. This is your definition of stupid?
PD: Excuse my poor english. :P

I can't believe this ignorant, simplistic, idiotic comment is upvoted. I'm losing faith in the Joystiq community. If you don't like Modern Warfare 2 and think the map packs aren't worth it, fine, good for you. But goddamn people, it's just an add-on for a game that some people find entertainment value in. I personally didn't buy them because I think some of the maps are too big and cluttered. But that does not mean that people that did buy them are "morons"...
