Modern Warfare 2 'Mapathy' DLC Hits March 30

8:10 PM - March 10, 2010 - By Marcus Yam - Source : Tom's Guide US

Xbox 360 gamers will delight in their Modern Warfare 2 Mapathy cure at the end of March.

Infinity Ward said earlier this week that gamers can expect word of the upcoming Modern Warfare 2 DLC, and we now have early details.

In an rather interesting site dedicated to the DLC, Infinity Ward has launched a website asking gamers if they are suffering from Mapathy – a "state of indifference to the same old maps that one has been playing over the last several months."

Well, if you're a Modern Warfare 2 gamer on Xbox Live, your cure is coming at the end of this month.

a clever ad.

very annoyed this doesn't come to pc at the same time as the xbox though, once again IW forget their real fans.

tbh though, i don't see myself going back to MW2 now that BC2 is out, so maybe IW have successfully alienated their fans.

I'm listing my copy on craigslist right now. Dont play it much anymore, and I think it's BS that their going to screw all the fans that dont have a 360 over for a month. They wont be getting my $10.

screw new maps. How about they try releasing a patch that makes guns more evenly matched and realistic (assault rifles more accurate than SNIPER RIFLES? BFS.) and also add a kick button for cheaters, which will them lock their account.

again, the pc is being pushed aside...

Its not a case of the PC being pushed aside "again". IW pushed the PC off a cliff and simply left it at the bottom of the mountain of "Things to care about".

However its been stated before and reported on that xBOx 360 gets this first because Microsoft made a deal that Sony couldn't/didn't.

So they gave us a limited number of sh*tty maps for $60 and then tell us that we need to cure the issue they created w more crappy maps?

The best cure to a heroin withdrawal is more heroin technically I guess.

Play tf2... 20 dollars for an amazing game with endless amounts of free content and community maps that are awesome...

Any chance this is coming with any modding features? Also, the woman in the ad is awesome.

No need for Activision to release this DLC bit, sort of pointless when i just rubber band around the screen anyways.

BC2 has dealt with many such itches.

a kick button? so everyone can be more gutless? NO thank you!
don't you think the lot of you who quit the game from sucking a big one, sending everyone into search for a new host just to have the game lobby close like it does 60% of the time is not bad enough? puhleease...

i have both mw2 and bc2, and i still play mw2....when i cant connect to the bc2 servers :)
seriously, both have pros and cons, but mw2 being almost twice as expensive, i would be hard pressed if bc2 were released before mw2. bc2 much cheaper and with larger maps, and still have you do something even if your ping sucks.

Mapathy? So adding 3 more maps will cure this? Ha! What a joke.

LOL Thank the gamer gods for BC2!!!
IW needs to take notes... walking in LITTLE maps is only fun for a month or so (espically with no dedicated servers that wont lag). Where BC2 one section is about the size of a normal MW2 map.
Ive uninstalled MW2 since ive got BC2, but when MW3 comes ill wait till its on sale(I do like the story and thats it).
But its "nice" to see big publishers still pushing PC fan base away and trading us for consoles.

Thanks IW ;)

Who cares about MW2? Bad company 2 is here and will stay here.

I've barely played MW2 since I bought it back in December. I fought through the single player and maybe have spent a total of 30 minutes battling online. BC2 is a lot of fun with the destructible environments (although I still have a lot of problems connecting). Nonetheless, I wonder if the pc DLC is going to be free?

By DLC do they mean the milking people kind of DLC?

If its not free its gonna fail...

Its like an Apple made shooter, its so locked in its not even worth playing.

Dude this isn't 4chan, and for good reason.
I like BF:BC2 for the PC alot better so far. Graphics are hot. With Metro 2033 out very soon, looks like we have an array of great games to choose from =P

They pay monthly fees for XBOX live, we don't for PC or PS3, they get the map first. End of statement.

While I do love me some BC2, I gotta say that TF2 is easily the best gaming value EVER. All of those class updates? FREE. Bless you Valve.

If they seriously think that chick is representative of their audience, they're far more out of touch with their customers than even I, an avid PC Gamer and boycotter, could have ever imagined.

...

OR MAYBE THEY'RE SPOT ON
