Shut up you stupid Nazi they should be free just like the halo 3 map packs probably after a month... and 800 points are too overpriced for the crap infinity ward makes

laxdkid

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> ive played those new maps on xbox, they are awsome.there worth every penny, besides the people that worked on them didnt do it for free.as soon as they come out for the ps3 a lot of people will buy them,besides all you cry babies will pay $500 for the system, $60 for the game and then wine about $10, GIVE ME A BREAK!

IH8KIDS

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> you know what i actually don't believe this site i believe the maps will be for free cause a lot of people will not cough up 10 bucks for 4 maps meaning there will be about 10 stupid people for every 1,000 players that actually buy the map meaning the people who actually pay for the games will not be able to play with the rest of the gamers because not everyone will have the map... it will also cost the companies money more money to open the maps because they would have to separate the maps that where bought and the ones that weren't meaning more lobbies more pissed off customers and much more bs im sure you know what i mean...anyways for you ps3 cod4 players get at me platnum786

platnum786

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> yea sorry pc gamerzz... you just dont matter anymore!! SO get a 360 and play!! The new maps r going to b sick...i have no prob in buying them. My Gamertag = FR3SH II D3ATH. HIT me up on cod4 abd ill show u the skill.

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> FIX THE MOTHERF****** MATCH MAKING and TEAM BALANCING ... i know im not the only player who searches for an online match and ends up on the losing end of a 235-45 point match with 2 minutes left...

fadeproof

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> 600 would be fair, but ill pay for these anyway, wont stop me moaning tho:p

Raikkenon

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> I don't know why anyone is surprised by the pricing on the new maps.

Haven't we all learned by now that the mantra of the electronics industry is "Screw the early adopters"?

ElijahDProphet

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> 800 points is pretty much what i was expecting...and for 4 maps i suppose i am happy with that(isnt halo doing 800 points for 3 maps?)

IWs last COD game for the 360 had two map packs for a price and one for free..so hopefully we will get the same here...in time

metallicorphan

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> How are they going to do matchmaking now? Will there be a match type including the new maps (probably)?

You shouldn't have to pay for something that requires other people to have. Guns, Clothing, etc. OK, but not maps.

Don't get me wrong, I feel the maps are worth the money, but not when they don't get used properly, and they don't get used. (I'm looking @ you, Rainbow Six: Vegas - Red Pack)

H8ff0000

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> $10 is nothing when it means adding 4 maps to the game I play almost every night on the same maps over and over again. What's that, skipping an expensive lunch one of these days?

kidko

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> The maps all look like lots of fun. Saw the vids somewhere else and not sure if I can link them. Or else I would.

goOutSide

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> I need this yesterday.

SAKY

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> ^ Incidently, if you reply to this arguing the semantics of the point, I won't respond. It's not worth the effort.

ErskinPig

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Catalyst: Two or more competitors coming together and agreeing to sell something at a certain price is called price fixing and is illegal. Look it up.

ErskinPig

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Of all the shooters, it seems to me that maps are the least important in COD4. Because you can choose your outfitting in each game, there's so much adjustment available anyway. I know I have a Halo logo and that's my first love, but maps just seem so much a bigger deal in Halo because you have to solve how to play the map within the given parameters, so it's more interesting. In COD I can just pick the right weapon package for the map and I'm good.

I'll probably buy them because I play enough to make it worthwhile. Lots of new maps to spice up my gamez.

Rockwallaby

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @EdwinJ85: Exactly, if I could nominate that for comment of the week I would, Microsoft are being money hungry to the extent of craziness, faulty hardware, expensive games that reward people who buy them later and cheaper rather than when they came out, and charging for xbox live but not giving away something like 4 measly maps

excel_excel

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> 4 CoD Maps = 10$
Bionic Commando Rearmed = 10$

Bionic Commando > 4 maps

Proof maps are too expensive.

luketheobscure

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> So, what the hell happened to PC gamers?

I want them maps.

Shaverdian

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Hopefully they'll follow the Halo model of making the maps free a few months down the road. They still do that right? I feel some sort of tiny victory when I manage to hold off on something overpriced even though I love the product.

Tetley

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> 4 maps? That's it?! For $10 I'd expect something more, some new perks or new weapons idk.

Tofu_Survivor

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @ErskinPig: How is that collusion? It's free elsewhere, so MS makes it free. Sounds exactly like a competitive market to me. Unless you were referring to the faulty logic in the post you replied. Free on PSN = Free on XBL =/= $10 on PSN = $10 on XBL.

Either way, $10 is BS. I can get multiple XBLA games for the same price. I love the game, but lets get real. After all the bugs that people put up with, they give the maps free to the people who just now buy it? Have fun noob-tubeing it up on the new maps with each other late adopters, because I ain't paying.

Catalyst

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> 800 points?

*lets rip a wet fart of extreme indignation and justice*

Excuse me, but didn't valve just give PC gamers all sorts of free content for a game (TF2) that cost less to buy on the PC than the 360 to begin with? Didn't they say that they would give it to us free, if MS allowed it?

Stop nickle and dime-ing us Microsoft. If you want the 360 to be the best it can be AND earn you the most money, you have to stop pulling these money grubbing antics. I haven't bought the Halo 3 content yet because I know it will be free in time, Ala the GOW maps of last year. All you do is infuriate people with these cheap grabs for things which are not worth 10% of the original games cost thank you very much.

If this content releases on the PC for free, I think MS will have truly ballsed this one up - many will be rightly p'ed off.

MS: If the Xbox become a better format through excellent customer service, YOU MAKE MORE MONEY.

Look at valve, tiny developer, ROLLING IN DOUGH. Why? Because they treat customers as something other than walking piggy banks to raid every time they see a chance to. With Nintendo above you and Sony nipping at your heels you can not afford this policy - it only harms you in the end as gamers follow games, not brands.

Think itunes: they made a killing because everybody else wouldn't dare allow consumers to buy singles easily and for less than £4/$8 a pop. Apple are now gloating over a bowl of sour grapes and if your not careful, Sony will be gloating while you eat the sour fruits.

Please MS, think LONG RUN not quick buck. For the love of god.

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @DragonSphere:

I enjoy the unlocking process, which for the most part, stops at 55. The symbol isn't the reason why I go prestige, but it's really fun to level up 3-4 times in 1 game going from 1-4 each time :) It also keeps the game really fresh. I haven't been so in to a game in quite a long time!

jay427

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Are there really hacks and aiming exploits on PSN for COD4? If that is true then maybe having a restricted network like XBOX LIVE was worth the aggravation...

Details stat!

Leobebes

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Amerijapoxicano:

You know perhaps it'll be like the patch, the 360 users beta test the patch (or maps) and we get it when they get the okay for ps3?

ryivanV2

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Kaemon: Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking.

You give the free goodies to the people who waited until CoD4 got all the reviews and awards to buy it, isntead of giving it to the people who took a "gamble" on it and bought it on Day One?

I mean, I understand it, it makes perfect sense. Repackage it with the shiny "GoTY" stickers all over it and put in free goodies, so people who wouldn't buy it otherwise plunk their money on it. Yeah, it brings in more $$$ this way.

But it still feels backward, big-picture-wise.

:/

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @poser85: Um, no.

PownerOfNewbs

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @jay427: I never really understood the motivation for these multiple levels of Prestige...granted I'm going through my first round of Prestige right now, and I'd be lying if I didn't say how frustrating it is to essentially recoup all the weapons and challenges again. It gives more "life" to the MP, but only artificially so.

That said, is there any more benefits to going through these levels? Or does it merely give people the chance to sugarcoat their screename? Otherwise, I think I'm cappin' off after I reach lvl 55 once more...

DragonSphere

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Spartan1308: I don't know how MS would be privvy to such information, unless they're colluding with Sony and fixing prices - which is of cousrse, highly illegal.

Competition Commission needs to lay the smack down on MS.

ErskinPig

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @weasl: One of the MS "Rules" about DLC is that if the content is free on another network(read PSN) then it will be free on XBL. Since this content is coming to both, I'd guess it has already been determined that this will be $9.99 for PS3.

Spartan1308™

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @crashlanding: MS would just make it free too if Sony did. They only con you if they can get away with it, you see.

ErskinPig

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @weasl: That would be quite the marketing steal for Sony if the PS3 map pack was free- without having to buy another copy of the game. If I was Sony and had the budget I would do that for my install base, then make sure every COD4 ad everywhere said as much.

crashlanding

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Maybe if more people actually bought the game on the PC instead of pirating it the sales would be better and then you could stop complaining about the 360 having priority.

Kyuzo36

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Figroti:

Maybe for now...But with the rise of the PS3 and increasing sales, Sony might dominate again.. Someday..

SsLordMagus

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> 'or you can download it from XBL for 800 MS points'

I would do, but it's 800 MS points too dear, I'm afraid.

UNLESS IT'S FREE, NO DLC!

ErskinPig

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Good to hear, I've been getting a little board with the current map set.

yashichi8bit

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have just over 2 weeks to finish 18 levels of Prestige 4 in order to start fresh with the new maps :)

jay427

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> If Sony had half a brain they'd let IW release these for free on the PS3.

weasl

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Damn MS and they're micro transaction whoring. We've clearly crossed into no man's land concerning pay to play DLC but there needs to be a damn boycott if only to show MS that paying for Xbox Live & $60 for a game entitles us to FREE DLC.

Nexus6

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @JackTretton: It actually isn't the best selling game on 360. That's Halo 3. Again, this story is sourced from Xbox.com so the pack may very well be coming to PSN at the same time. IW already said it is coming to both in spring. The real questions are about if or when it will come to PC and if it will be free. April 3rd is a Thursday so it is likely it will come to PSN on that same day.

Spartan1308™

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Spartan1308: ok maybe you're right but still its not like cod4 isnt the best selling game on both platforms so why not show the same respect for both.

JackTretton

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> i was planning on getting this for PS3 because i already have it for PC and was told the console market for the game had a better community and if a GOTY edition is coming for PS3 i might aswell wait before i buy it the GOTY is usually cheaper. :P

NDC

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> its lame that the people who supported the game as soon as it came out get hosed for another 10 dollars to get the maps and the GOTY buyers will get it for free.

dropoff

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Spartan1308:
hehe FAIL FAIL FAIL hehee. Sorry. Just wanted to get in on it. I agree with you.

ca$h

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> These maps look great. Not just cheap sub ins for a quick buck like I've come to expect from other DLC packs. Creek in particular looks gorgeous, and interesting. Looks like that map may actually promote sniping. Which I don't partake in, but I'm still happy for the sniping fans.

Collapse The Control

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> To the people talking about PC users being able to create their own maps and mods, while that's true, most ranked and good servers only use the officially released ones. Since the good, ranked servers are the only ones people don't cheat on consistently, that means we're stuck with official map releases. While the maps that came with the game are great and still fun, it'd be nice to get some more variety.

Revenge_of_Nekojin

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @NDC: I have the same question!!! (does this GOTY version come out for PS3 aswell? or just 360?)

KingAwesome

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> i think pc gamers get it for free?

relax_guy

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @NOKS415: About $10.

Lixie

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @JackTretton: No, don't be foolish. The most sales of COD4 have been on 360. Although they could make the game for Wii. It just wouldn't look nearly as good. They'd likely need to rework a lot to get that to happen. I have no desire to play it on the Wii. People complain about the 360 being for FPS and then complain about the 360 being the priority for an FPS dev. These maps will be coming to PSN, that announcement came from Xbox.com. Thus you FAIL at determining when I have FAIL. I think you should go FAIL yourself.

Spartan1308™

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Spoony Bard: Nah, I knew they were gonna charge, but $10 is too much, I wonder how much the market will accept it, and pay at that price.

Personally I think its too much. $5 is quite reasonable. if they wanted to be odd, even $7.

But $10 is just a bit too much, I thinks.

But hey, they can charge whatever they want. I just hope they make a way for you few who buy the maps to be able to play just on them, and not be stuck with all us people without them.

And if PC gets them for free, that will be super annoying.

Kaemon

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> does this GOTY version come out for PS3 aswell? or just 360?

NDC

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> PC gamers will be getting the same maps except they'll be free.

Cell9song

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @JackTretton: no hes stating that the xbx360 sold the most units of CoD4 by a ton. PC saw well under 500k in sales compared to millions on consoles.

Zepultura

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Tyber_Zann: @poser85: @notalkjustrock: Don't you guys have a map editor and a community of folks creating maps and mods?

SAKY

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Hmm. I've been thinking about buying a second copy of this in the Xbox (none of my friends have a capable PC or PC FPS desires), so I may feel like it, since free bonus maps always appeals to me. I wonder if the game will sell for full price, though?

Taco Bell™

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Spartan1308: so by your logic they should have made a wii version. FAIL.

JackTretton

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> If ps3 owners have to wait a whole month to get these than ive officially lost respect for the IW team.

JackTretton

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Kaemon: This is called free market. What, you didn't know they were going to charge for these?

Spoony Bard

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Figroti: The 360 is where they have the largest amount of sales by quite a bit so I would guess that makes it the priority.

Spartan1308™

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> This is still a better deal then the Halo 3 maps. I still feel ripped off after paying for that one.

OGHowie

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @NOKS415: $10

Spartan1308™

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Don't worry PC users, we'll probably get these for free and earlier.

aaa

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Zaos: I think that was Valve talking about TF2
-------------------------
@mossberg: Yes
-------------------------
@Tyber_Zann: The last thing I read about the maps coming to PC was that they were deciding whether they would charge or not on PC.

Spartan1308™

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Any word on if they will be free in a few months? I don't know about everyone else but COD 4's maps don't seem to make a difference in gameplay from level to level.

liquid_kore

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Hmm.. $10? $8 would seem to be the sweet spot. I definitely wouldn't mind paying $2 per map, even though I'll probably still fork over the cash.

Kind of irritating how the 360 is always the priority, though.

Figroti

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @NOKS415: 10 bucks

Is it just me or have they not made a peep about these for the PC? Kind of ticks me off. They will gladly release it for the consoles but because its hard to charge everyone for something that used to be expected FREE, they would rather not release it on the PC at all. I miss the days when games came with new content when ever a patch came out (BF1942 tended to have 1-2 new maps with vehicles and weapons every single update).

NitrousO

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> I'm already thinking about trading in my PS3 copy for a 360 version, simply because of the hacks and cheating that are going on, and still going on after the patch. and no, I'm not complaining because I suck, I'm not half bad (not great either, but I can hold my own on most maps), but there's already been videos posted showing people using the cheats. Infinite health, ammo, and being able to see player tages through walls give some people a disgustingly unfair advantage and kills the fun of online play

kathartik

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> What's up with PS3? Are we going to get some love or do we have to wait over a month again?

Amerijapoxicano

On the PC players can make their own maps. XBox players only get what Infinty Ward gives them.

Devil's Advocate

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Well, I love COD4 and I play it enough (a lot more recently), but $10 just sounds like a lot for only 4 maps. I will wait and see if they decide to drop it a little before making the plunge.

@Zaos:

That was Valve in regards to the DLC for The Orange Box.

Zhabin

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @NOKS415: Ten US dollars.

uranutan

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> @Zaos:
That's some other game I think.

Devil's Advocate

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Ten bucks is too much to pay for 4 maps - given that it will just be another set of locations to get my ass handed to me by ... well ... everyone.

$5 - and I'm in. I'd pay another 5$ for an invisibility suit though... ;-)

JohnnyHundo

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> how much is 800 ms points?

Noks415

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> i thought IW said they'd be free and its up to sony/microsoft to charge if they want, or am i mixing some other game up?

Zaos

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> are they ps3 as well?

mossberg

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Huh, the link leads you...back here.

Spoony Bard

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Why didn't they include the new maps on the disc?

scrappy

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> So wait, they get free maps, because they waited to buy the game till it was cheaper?

:-/ I want it to be free to those of us who already own the game. How sad.

I love the game, but I'm not paying $10 just to have some maps. Sorry, if they become free I'll grab them, till then no way.

Kaemon

]]> <![CDATA[Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack Details]]> Aaaand PC gamers get screwed again! I'd even pay for new maps. Way to forget about who made you famous, Infinity Ward.

Tyber_Zann
