I will still be holding off. It's been known for a while now that this would only have two map packs, they released that info a couple months ago I think?

Lies! All we ever knew is the first two map packs for MW2 would be timed exclusives on 360 before they were released on other platforms (as stated in the 1st paragraph of the story). They never confirmed there would be only two however. Least that's what I remember. :|:

Well, now that they tell us the maps, i'm holding off till the "Game of the year edition" is released. That and usually, wal-mart has the hardended edition for cheap and no one buys it there. They still sell the halo 3 legendary edition for 70usd :awes

But anyway, Treyarch has definitely owned the DLC war. Plus, both of these DLCs will be for Xbox 360 first...wow, way to marginalize the rest of your market.

MW2 has given me a bad taste in my mouth, luckily I have purged the taste. My pre-order has been canceled and I have moved on from MW2. Looking forward to CoD7. Treyarch, rough start, but they've proven them self to be quite good in the long run.

It seems Infinity Ward won't be following the way of Treyarch in producing three map packs for Modern Warfare 2, but only two. This according to a report posted over on Shacknews detailing comments made by Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith. Listen up:

Though we've known for a while that two downloadable Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map packs would hit Xbox 360 first before any other platform, it now appears that those two map packs could be the entirety of the shooter's downloadable content.

"We plan to launch two separate map packs for this title," Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith said of Modern Warfare 2's "online content" in a conference call, adding that over 8 million Call of Duty map pack downloads have been sold on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Said map packs are traditionally priced at 800 MS Points ($10) on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and usually hit PC a bit later on in the form of a free update. Infinity Ward, which is crafting Modern Warfare 2, released one map pack for the first Modern Warfare, while Treyarch has thus far produced three for the more recent Call of Duty: World at War.

Now that we know only two map packs are planned for Modern Warfare 2, as well as the raised price for the PC edition, are you more or less likely to purchase the game?
