But not here, with Storm being particularly uninteresting. One would assume that the months between the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and the release of the map pack would give the developers ample time to finely tune their skills for the first DLC, bringing out maps that leave the old ones dead in the water. Compared to some of the maps that came with the game itself - especially Terminal and Invasion - they don't really bring much new to the game. Storm is probably the worst of the bunch, where you dodge between cargo containers and in and out of storage facilities. They might fit the incredibly fast and unforgiving tone of the game, but they still feel pretty uninspired. To be perfectly honest, the three new maps are not very exciting. The three new maps (Salvage, Storm and Bailout) and the two old ones from the first game (Overgrown, Crash), costing a total of 1200 points. Fine, let's keep our eyes focused on what is actually important here: The Stimulus Package. The attitude gets old that fast.īut sure, I guess some people like it that way - I had forgotten how much Modern Warfare 2 enjoyed screaming at you when you did anything wrong. The kind of narcoleptic shock that made me almost fall asleep. Not the kind of shock that makes you sit up and straight and grab the controller so hard that your knuckles go white. Experience some of the most epic maps in Modern Warfare history, including 'Creek,' a wide-open village ravaged by combat where concealment is the difference between life and death 'Broadcast,' an enemy. If you used to play Modern Warfare 2 last year, and have given games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or Lead and Gold: The Gangs of the Wild West a go since then, this might come as a bit of a shock. The Variety Map Pack DLC for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® Remastered includes four remastered multiplayer maps from the original game.
It kicks ass, takes names and eats full metal jacket bullets for breakfast.
It's so bad ass that it makes Crysis look like The Secret of Monkey Island.
It's the baddest of all the bad asses out there. But for me, a casual player that haven't touched the game at all for months? How about people just like me, that only wants to play a few games here and there and are just as happy to get fragged as they are when they get the occasional kill? Is it worth it to us?įirst of all, I had forgotten one thing about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
For you, the 1200 points Activision asked for them was probably worth it. If you're serious about your Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, you've already downloaded it and played the new maps so many times you know them by heart already. The Stimulus Package has been released, it's already been downloaded more than 2,5 million times. This was before everyone started cheating their way through the ranks, and before anyone had reached far enough for the whole "Prestige mode" thingie became relevant and a source of flame wars across the Internet.īut guess what, I'm back. I remember something about the multiplayer, I believe I had a good time with it too. It's been a while, I left not long after launch.
