MW2 Sells 2.5 Million DLC, Dirty Video Ad Online

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Dirty old man's just talking about Modern Warfare 2. Just like the old days.

When Activision announced that the Stimulus Map Pack for Modern Warfare 2 would cost $15, gamers weren't happy that it worked out to being $3 per map, or $5 each if you're only counting the new maps and not remakes from Call of Duty 4.

Regardless of price, 2.5 million Xbox 360 gamers picked up the map pack. That comes out to $37.5 million, which is a mighty haul in such a short time.

While there's no doubt that Modern Warfare 2 doesn't need any extra promotion to help boost its popularity, that hasn't stopped the marketing guys at Activision from creating a new ad that's a bit laced with suggestive material if you have even the least bit of a dirty mind.

The add reminds me of the Grandpa in "Little Miss Sunshine" when he told the kid to "Get the chicks when your young, shes young, then neither one of your go to jail and you get the best...." Well you get the idea. LOL

That's a pretty bad ad. Now every kid whose parents were hesitating to buy this for him/her will probably never get it. And in reality they should be getting BF BC2......

Love the ad.

As far as the game. It's cool to hate amirite. Some of you need to grow a backbone and think for yourselves. And last but not least remember opinions are just that opinions.

( I don't care for the game, but I gave it a shot. And like most I hate the hosting part, the community which there is none in none of these new fps games. Closest thing is a guild/ clan. Unlike the good old days of rogue spear. And hackers which are a part of all fps games, and now that you don't have were a host must be in the room it just sucks.)

Awesome commercial. While the PC version has it's obvious negatives, I did really enjoy the SP game, as well as MP game for a few weeks. But I was always playing with clan-mates. I imagine the problems in MP mode only escalate exponentially for the loners out there.

One thing I don't know is if all the annoyances within the PC scene carry over into the PS3 and 360. I imagine MP game setup annoyances still exist. Surely lag as well. But what about hacks?

Anyway... I loved the commercial. It really is funny.

I got it...steam banned me after months of playing online. Its a POS in my opinion and will never spend even 5$ to get anything from infinity ward ever again. Waste of money honestly

Sadly, all my friends with xboxes who have the game have bought this DLC. Even if COD6 had dedicated servers and proper mod support, I still wouldn't buy it. The MP, from what I've seen on the xbox, is crappy. There are hardly any maps and hardly any classes/guns. The quality of the maps is lower than in COD4 imo. The campaign looks like a lot of fun though. COD5 had a decent campaign (though not as exciting as COD4), but it had Nazi Zombies, which added MANY MANY hours of replay-ability to the game. COD4 had an awesome (but much too short and cliff hanger) campaign and a pretty good online multiplayer.

If IW had made a map editor for COD6 that was kinda like the FC2 map editor and dedi servers, then I think that I would have actually bought the game.... in fact, I think that would actually be better than L4D2, value-wise (as long as you didn't buy L4D, cuz then L4D2 is a ripoff)

the ad it's self is very creative and it appeals to the general audience using the idealism of sex to lure people in.

Cheating was probably a bad idea in the first place then.

I found the ad w\ the old man to be pretty funny.

As far as the dlc... I payed $35 for MW2 and I don't think I'm going to pay another $15 for 5 maps so I can have people run past me and knife me, or tube me over and over on different maps.

No thanks. People have figured out how to run "hacked servers". About 1/20 matches I join is on a hacked server.

Console gamers are lazy - won't even build their own PCs. These is the same crow that probably bought an ipad as well.

Since BC2, FF13, God of War, and my new motherboard coming in, I haven't touched MW2 in weeks. Just got old I suppose.
