Modern Warfare 2 'Stimulus Package' costs $15

Mar 15th 2010 12:49PM (Joystiq)
Well. I won't say I'm not annoyed, but let's look at this from another standpoint.
The map pack for CoD4 had four maps. One was Killhouse, which I imagine took comparatively miniscule time to put together. Chinatown was essentially a refresh of a map from CoD2, though I can't remember which. Creek and Broadcast, though large in scale compared to most CoD4 maps, are about the size of an average MW2 map.
This map pack contains three new maps, I imagine on par with Creek or Broadcast. Re-making Overgrown and Crash with new textures for a new game was likely an undertaking equal to re-hashing Chinatown for CoD4.
All-in-all, I imagine the man-hours spent on this map pack where probably at least 1.5 times those spent on the Variety Map Pack. Of course I'm still bothered, but I can kind of see where this is coming from.

I imagine it's out of IW's hands anyway. Activision probably saw that they were working more hours on this DLC than the last, and priced accordingly. It's a corporation, one should come to expect cold, heartless, money-driven reason.

His art really sells it, honestly. It's pretty much non-topical nonsense, but still technically the funniest video game comic I've seen this week, haha.

It's normally not gaming-centric, but Boxer Hockey has been doing a lovely little Sonic bit.
