DLC pricing addressed by the studio
Robert Bowling, the community manager of Infinity Ward, maintained optimistic tone while addressing the morale at the studio of MW2 after the dismissal of its two top executives and also a subsequent lawsuit against Activision.
Bowling said in an interview that it’s “business as usual” at the studio as the company prepares to release first batch of downloadable content for the game.
On the website Bowling said, “Right now morale is high, because we’re really excited to get this DLC out. Any time we’re just about to launch something out to the community, morale boosts up, because you’re excited to see what your players think of it, and to watch them get on there and see what tactics they come up with.”
The two top executives who were expelled were former Infinity Ward execs Jason West and Vince Zampella. The two sued Activision for breach of contract and are now seeking $36 million along with the rights to all Modern Warfare branded titles.
However, Activision calls this lawsuit as “meritless.”
The upcoming DLC is called Stimulus Package and Bowling defended its price tag to be $15.
He said, “I think from a content standpoint, anyone who is playing Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer and is dedicating a lot of hours to it is definitely going to get their money’s worth from this map pack.”
The DLC features 5 multiplayer maps that includes the two from 2007’s Call of Duty 4. By next week it will be available on Xbox 360.
the mappack is shit the only two game types that are played are capture the flag and demalition
They NEED to open these maps up for play on Hardcore Team Deathmatch, not just segregate the new maps from the old ones. The only online matches I play are HCTD matches.
Will map packs be released for PC also or only for consoles?
