New COD2 maps to ambush XBL

They should learn the practice of underpromising and overdelivering. Tell us Fri and then put it out on Thurs.

i just want to know where these dang maps are....it's almost 1:30pm here (thursday) and still no maps on the marketplace....:(

here are some tissues for everyone thats crying about $12.00. inevitably you either get over the cost for downloadable content or you dont download. $12.00 for 5 multiplayer maps for the 360's best shooter. its not like your getting the same maps placed at a different time of day(GRAW) which makes up part of the downloadable content pack. give it a rest.

I think it's assinine to charge $10.00 for 5 extra maps....Some people did pay $59.99 + tax for the game, on top of the last maps released was another $5.00...and now they want another $10.00 for 5 maps!!! That's a rip...In reality it costs about $80.00 to have COD2 if you want to play it online.

love the game,anything worth while is going to cost you something so again I say" Stop Global Whining

I wld get it but tht game is full of noobs tht only use tht sniper (retarted 1 shot kill no skill hold breath ) rifle

Cool.

thats a lot of money!

fours words: it should be free

" Manatassi All the people going on about the PC getting free maps when console owners have to pay may want to watch out on that one. Bethesda already started charging and this could go one of two ways. Companies want to make money and the charging for extra content on marketplace is making them a hell of alot of money so they will simply start charging on the PC but due to the PC's nature and the difficulty of controlling this theres a good posibility they will simply be more inclined to release games on consoles as they can make more money, we are already seeing the fruits of this happening. Look at the games that are coming out on the 360 they are already leaning toward the kinds of experiences that PCs have always had a tendancy for. The fact of the matter is a company can release its game into an easily controlled environment that they can make alot more money from. Also the 360 has the potential to have a mouse runing it already has Keyboard compatability and with the release of larger hard drives and compatibility with windows there is the potential for user created content. Then theres the PS3 which is leaning even more heavily into PC teretory with its capabilities, there is an obvious and gradual shift towards creating games centric PCs rather than the traditional market of consoles. Personaly I think this might work out well for the majority of gamers aswell as games producers. If you think about it they are making an afordable format that only needs updated every 5 years this means that gamers wont need to shell out hundreds of $ a year to keep up with the latest software and that the software is easier to produce to a higher standard as the developers are not having to incorporate coding that can be used my many diferent hardware setups this takes up alot of time and money on development of PC games. Gamers who dont have the budget to afford a high spec PC will have on offer a machine that can produce high quality graphics and will not be lumbered with a dissadvantage when it comes to the online gaming environment. It also allows for a more controlled online experiene and for more family freindly gaming areas as XBL has set out the guidelines for this. These are all just posibilities but highly valid ones that I am sure are being considered by the people developing and publishing games. " bla bla bla bla......

What a rip off. Its one single map. How hard can it be to make. Although i love xbox live i do get the feeling that alot of things are very expensive for example a retro game that was released over 10 years ago is available for about 10 dollars or 8 pounds. What a joke. You could go out and buy it for about 1 to 2 dollars. I bet its making a bundle with all this content

i think its worth it...

Is the PC version going to see any of these maps?

good, i only have 800 points left on my account.

i never play this online cuz 1) it doesnt let more than one person per TV play on live and 2) only 8 max on live ... sad indeed

More proof on how Xbox Live rules! Go MS!

do you really need to buy those maps just to play a different map in COD2?

Seems worth it...now.

They don't go on sale... LOL I can't wait... I have a job so I can afford this... I can't say the same for some of you lazy kidz... :)

I think that it is great that additiions become the norm ... even if it does cost us a little more, it extends the life of the game!

I don't see why people are complaining. So what if you have to pay for a few maps? Don't pay for them, no one is twisting your leg to do so. It's just a few maps! I'm willing to pay for them because I play CoD2 a lot. For those of you thinking the maps will be free...forget about it. If thats not a good enough responce then think about it this way. If you liked CoD2 and you purchase these new maps you are supporting the company. With that extra money they can open their budget and make games better. Sure it sucks you have to pay a little more but It's only $10, almost everyone can afford that if they want to.

scam. they make a game, sell it for overpriced $60, hold back content, then sell it on live. games are gonna be $100 soon. medium range pc gaming is cheaper with tons of free content. i must have 50 great fan made cod:uo maps. and wtf is with patches with 360? ITS A CONSOLE. they can't make it right the first time?

wow anyone else see greed here. Glad I"m a pc gamer we never have to deal with this garbage.

At that price it should be a good map.

Good thing i don't own a Xbox 360.

That's how they get ya, they tell you it used to be a higher price to make you think yer getting a bargain...

let me know when they're free

This is why I HATE the marketplace... it's just a huge opportunity for devs to make you PAY for extra maps... ridiculous.

Hopefully Microsoft (and Sony) comes up with a policy that says a game must be patched before it can have any downloadable content for sale. That will get the developers' priorities straight (hopefully).

I would not have a problem forking out for new game content for a game that was well put together in the first place. In the case of COD2 and the GRAW map packs, I will be waiting until the core game is patched (online matchmaking more stable, bugs cleaned up etc) before I fork out more cash. If this does not happen then my marketplace points are safe...

I don't care about the money, I just want a 360

I crap 800 microsoft points :)

Crap I only have 610 points left! I need to buy some more.

Great system for developers. Step 1- Make a game. Step 2- Remove a few maps, features, whatever. Step 3- Release game. Step 4- Try to pass off their removed material as "extra downloadable content" for even more money a few months later. Step 5- Watch all the suckers pay up.

I'll buy it.

i really really support further content for games but i think stuff should be separate. for example GRAW should separate their maps for purchase either individualy or in pairs and COD2 should do the same here. so dont have bundles, divide them and let the customer pick what he wants dropping the price. this wont hurt the company if they make good stuff. its win-win

$10...$10!!! I'm not paying that much for just 5 new maps.

For as much as I play COD2, I don't think that another $10 is a big deal - I've already spent way more than 800 hours on it, altogether I'll have spent $75 after I get these map packs. Less than 10 cents an hour is pretty reasonable compared to the value you get out of other games. It sucks that you have to pay period, but if you're willing to put any time into the game you can't complain about the value.

the price is worth the hours of playing time.

oh common it's buy four get 1 free thats not so bad

hardcore gamers may be able to afford 'em now.. but the average gamer wouldn't..

Ummm...I haven't even gotten the first set of new maps. I won't get the second unless I get a positive answer to my question, which is: Have they even bothered to patch the game so that the phantom moments of slowdown and the boots to the main menu are WAY less frequent/completely gone? This is the only reason I don't even touch the game. It was good fun, if I could ever get a complete round in. I haven't been back to it, as I was not going to play until a patch was released.

Glad I don't play online.

Awesome I dont really care about the price as long as these maps are GEEEREAT hope that some of these maps are huge.

More maps sweet - missions in these maps would be nice with additional achievement points to be gained as an incentive.

I will be there that morning downloading...... I have points left from when I had to download GRAW maps.... Yeah for me!!!!!!!!! I love COD2...

Trev, user made maps suck. They're set up for person to win that made em'.

we need to stop this before it gets out of hand, they are getting way to full of themselves. Next thing you know map packs will be as much as teh game.

CoD on Wii will hopefully be free so I wont have to pay but I'll get them if I get a 360.
