Or you could just get on with your life and not worry about it since achievements don't MEAN anything, and you can still complete challenges again (not the achievements, but the challenges themselves) each prestige.

Achievements do mean a little something, a brief sense of self satisfaction anyway.

Don't think there's much you can do to reset, but you should put a passcode on your shit there guy

Need to buy more points, did a name change tonight.

Need another 600 I think.

I dont have proof, so just take my word.

I just went 62-4-0 collectively in 3 straight matches and have been posting insane numbers all night, went from like 2800 more kills then deaths to like 3150

Bought 2000 points. Ready for the maps.

March 26, 2010 - Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling says the developer was not responsible for the unusually high price of the Stimulus Package, the first downloadable map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Bowling told IGN it's up to publisher Activision on what to ultimately charge gamers for downloadable content (DLC).

"Activision sets the pricing for downloadable content," Bowling explained. "It's our job on the Infinity Ward side to focus on the creative aspect of the Stimulus Package, such as the art, creation, the direction of the DLC and the content as a whole."

The pack will be released first on Xbox Live next Tuesday for 1200 Microsoft points ($15) and contains five maps, two of which already appeared in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. A pack of three new multiplayer maps has traditionally cost 800 Microsoft points ($10).

"Personally, as someone who plays a lot of Modern Warfare 2, having the option to get additional content for the multiplayer that adds a lot of mileage to my online playtime is fantastic," Bowling added. "Especially the maps in The Stimulus Package that I know will give me, personally, endless more hours online and that's something that's worth it to me."

Activision has not announced the release date for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the Stimulus Package.

Not to you, Alva, but publishers setting DLC prices is common knowledge. If IW was specifically getting shit for this that's another strike against ungrateful gamers.

*idiotic gamers.

Picking up a point card on monday, remember people, VTS on Salvage.

Not gonna post a new thread since it's only rumours at this point, but game sites are reporting that someone at Activision leaked some details about Call of Duty 7. Supposedly it will be called Call of Duty: Black Ops, and it takes place in a variety of time periods between WW2 and modern day.

Take it with a large grain of salt. http://www.mapmodnews.com/article.ph...tails-Revealed

That sounds a bit dumb to be honest.

I like the idea. I bet there will be a shit load of different and new weapons in MP.

Would the multiplayer be compatible with an approach like that? Would WW2 maps allow Vietnam weapons? Sounds sloppy and desperate.

What Kalyx said, I mean how good can a BAR be against an ACR/M16/Scar-H

I would assume all weapons would stay in their era/maps or however they plan on doing it.

i had the WORST night last night. Not that I played bad...but it was one of those nights where you say 'fuck, i hate this community'.

- Modded game where every care package was a nuke that didnt go off for 1500 minutes

- 3 straight games where a team was boosting for nukes, and the asshole we kept calling out would leave, come into the game, and not bother trying to capture ANY positions, and just run into the opposite team to die

- 2 games where the team we were on didnt give a rat ass about winning a Domination game, instead opting to try to get their K/D up.

- switched to another game, and played 3 games where the OPPOSITE team didnt care about winning capture the flag, instead just camping for kills, making shit very boring.

- and capped off with some annoying ass kids were just annoying fucks who were talking shit about their k/d and quick scoping skills, while losing the match. When told that k/d isnt that impressive in a skirmish game and they should go play deathmatch and put their ass on the line, they got even more annoying.

Yeah.

How would multiplayer work for custom classes then?

It would only be customizable to the era your game mode/map is in.

Everyone is in the lobby. A map in the vietnam era pops up. Everyone vetos it and it moves on to a WWII era map. All weapons/perks/classes are from the WWII era. Common sense.

Of course, it's all speculation so I don't really feel like wasting my breath.

Yeah have like 2 Custom classes per era.

If its really going to be based off of Black Ops stuff then the game might be similar to Splinter Cell in terms of gameplay ideas (espionage, assassinations, etc).

Probably end up as a sniper for Vietnam Era since that was the main solo or small group teams for special missions.

"Black Ops" does not entail Splinter Cell gameplay, nor do I expect CoD to go anywhere near that style.

Well not exactly Splinter Cell gameplay but the idea behind it of how your basically doing missions that normally would be against the laws of war or stuff that would get any government in huge trouble if it was leaked out.

That still seems weird for a CoD title. Is Treyarch doing this still?

Yeah this is their year for CoD since last year was Infinity Ward. I think next year is when the 3rd studio is added to the mix.

It was originally rumored to be set in Vietnam but I wouldn't be surprised if the new Medal of Honor set in Afghanistan made Activision change the plans for the next Call of Duty game.

I actually like the Vietnam setting. Something about the jungle and the Rolling Stones gets me in the mood for swearing and shooting shit.

Shooting GOOKS

Clean socks.

Was playing with my clan last night doing domination matches, dropped my first nuke after going 40-1 :D

Love playing with a good coordinated team, who gives great info.

Firewall was the assault man, kept them pinned back and when someone got too close to him...BOOM Headshot.

Paulie stayed about 200 yards out from me covering B/C at the corner and had claymores set up incase I couldnt get the guy before he rounded the corner.

The rest of my team played support roles in keeping 2/3 flags at all times.

Sadly, I could have posted a much better score, as I got excited and dropped the nuke as soon as I got it instead of continuing :(

Anyways, just had to post this :)

The other team actually did very well in the previous match, but we just gave them a beating in this one.

If they have a Vietnam setting they MUST and I mean absolutely MUST have this guy's voice in it.

Just forked over $15 for a handful of Modern Warfare 2 maps? Good luck trying to get it going! A number of Xbox 360 users are reporting that the Stimulus Pack DLC isn't launching on Xbox Live. The pack can be downloaded and players can get as far as the lobby, but when they do, the game just perpetually counts down and never actually gets a game going.

Microsoft is aware of the problem and Major Nelson has confirmed that engineers are working on a fix. Apparently, it needs a title update which will launch soon.

Modern Warfare 2 having problems with its online component? Why, who ever could have imagined such a thing? Seems like par for the course, to be honest, although made all the more aggravating thanks to the arrogant decision to charge users 1200 f*cking MS Points for the privilege.

Thank god. I thought I was the only one.

Actually, that's not whats happening for me. It keeps saying I need to dl an update but when I try, it has connection problems.

Now people can understand why I didnt want to get it.

It doesnt fucking work on the VERY first day.

Yeah, cause that's the 'glitches' you were worried about. :roll:

Didnt I say something would be wrong with it? Pretty fucked you cant even play the other maps either.

Did they add them to the regular rotation?

Fuck sake relax. You can't play the game for a day, how awful. I'm crying right now for you.

Cant tell, as the servers are down but at the bottom of the match types there is Stimulus and Hardcore Stimulus

Aww, well dont waste your tears on me, ive been playing NHL 2k9

If you actually went and bought it after bitching about it all at length then it is just more evidence of what a complete tit you are.

I get the impression that Fallen Angel is never really happy with anything in life.

I didnt buy it, dont think I will until I am sure everything is fixed first.

Friends said Bailout alone is worth it.

No, I am not.

*coughbullshitisawyouplayingbailoutaround10amcough*

Say what? I was playing Bailout at 10am? I dont know who the hell you saw but it wasnt me playing it.

I was playing Rust with a group of friends in a private match around 10am (AST)

lol

Go fuck yourselves,the lot of you.

Just played 10 matches, went 45-112, jesus really off tonight.

Xbox Live won't let me buy points to get it :mad:

i just went 10173-7942 over the last 3 months. Ive been really hit or miss lately.

Nice.

Anyways, anyone notice anything a bit off while they have been playing? I stabbed a guy 3 times with Tac Knife and he killed me in last stand.

Stick a guy with semtex, he shoots me but I dont get +100 or +250 from the Afterkill.

Also a guy not going down from 4 stopping powered Barrett shells.

sounds like the normal MW2 shenanigans....

Yep, it does.

Map pack and this shit in the same day, hmmm.

CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Fucking hate how they made the Stimulus playlists with every gametype. I just wanna play TDM ffs.

It was on Estate, guy was sniping out the window. I stabbed him, turned and was like WTF, stabbed him again, he went into last stand, I stabbed again as he shot me with dual 1887's.

I mean fuck, seriously.

This map pack was a huge waste of money. Not being able to play just team deathmatch or whatever? Lame.

Infinity Ward continues to prove just how much they suck.

This was how they handled the releasing of new maps on COD 4 so what made you think it would be any different this time around?

I have friends who are not getting the map packs just yet, so I like that I can play with them still without having to worry about if they'll be kicked from the next game or not. I remember when I got a copy of WaW from a friend to play after it had already been out for a quite awhile, it was a bitch to get thrown out of every other game because I didn't have any of the three new map packs.

Also loving the new maps btw. Especially Salvage. Second or third time playing it on domination I got my Chopper Gunner and went rip shit on the other team. Must've have gotten over 15 + kills with it.

The fact that it was just as stupid the first time around. Generally, people learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, Infinity Ward believes ''LOL WE MADE BEST GAME EVER, WE DO NO WRONG''.

Im going to say I told you all so.

zomg I can't play the new maps on the normal gamemodes for a few weeks NERD RAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE

yknow, for someone who plays this game so religiously, you sure act like youre anti-IW/MW alot.

Try saying it with my nuts in yr. mouth

Didn't I say there would be something wrong with it as soon as they put it out ? and wasn't I right? didn't I say its not worth it for what you had to pay to get it? isn't it looking like I was right?

No. It's all fixed. I won't remember the 5 hours of downtime when I'm still playing this 6 months from now.

:y:

2/5 maps you were likely playing more then 6 months ago. :)

bought the maps.. downloading now

You are correct. I was playing Crash and Overgrown for a good 2 years after they were released because of the excellent replay value. Replay value is one of, if not THE most important feature of DLC. For any game.

If these were horribly designed maps that had a tremendous amount of glitches, then these would not be worth the purchase. However, these are excellently designed and 5 hours of downtime is nothing to bitch about when considering for how long you will be playing these maps.

I am waiting to be sure all is clear before I even consider getting them.

Hate overgrown btw. Like, with a passion, and it is the only map from the map pack that I think should have been burned with mw1.

The LAST thing MW2 needs is ANOTHER fucking camping map. That is all anyone does in it, and it is a fucking piece of shit because of it.

How is the snipers in it? i know that was my favorite from MW1 because of it, thermal must be a bitch though.

sniping is all anyone fucking does in that stupid piece of shit map

Also, mad underwhelmed by these maps. Bailout is the only awesome one, and I got to play it one fucking time all night.

Salvage is 'meh'. The raining one is alright. Probably the second most fun new map. Crash is alright.

Overgrown is just a piece of shit and there were way better maps they could have brought over from the first.

So, let me ask for the record.

Was it worth the 1200 MS (18$) for it?

Let me put it this way.

I am going to be playing this game for a while, regardless of if these maps sucked or were good. The current selection of maps was getting old as fuck. Was getting bored to tears of a few of them.. So having new maps is nice, and will increase the length of time that I play this game probably.

But 1 of the maps is a piece of shit older one. 1 of the maps is 'meh', and the other 3 are decent with one of them being 'pretty fucking awesome', tbh.

So yeah, it was 'worth it' in the big picture. But really, for what you're getting, it isn't worth it.

Yeah, have to say I am getting pretty fucking sick of Karachi, Invasion and Derail.

I usually join one of those, play those three, get kicked out of a lobby and start over. Thank fuck I have only played Rust once anytime recent and that was just using my FAMAS which is beastly on that map.

Map rotation seems fucked on the pack, only played Bailout once in a few sessions.

Anyways yeah. Bailout is pretty sweet, Salvage is probs my favourite right now though, since I dig close to mid range combat. Storm is ok. Crash and Overgrown are Crash and Overgrown.

All I have heard is that Bailout is the shit, Salvage is hit or miss (great for run and gun or short/mid range, terrible for long range though) and Storm is pretty meh.

I am trying to decide if Overgrown and Bailout are worth it and since it doesnt seem to be in the rotation much, im leaning towards not getting this :(

Would be pretty sweet if you could choose your playlist of maps and only get into games on those maps (your teammates/friends that your playing with) if you dont feel like playing Rust/Scrapyard and only want long range such as Afghan or Wasteland and have the option to add other maps if you get bored.

Always wanted soemthing like that because I kick ass on some maps and have loads of fun on them.

Just went 59-15 my last 3 matches. I know it's bragging but for me, thats really really good. Also went 25-0 on Wasteland, but because I'm not sweet, I did not have the nuke on :(

Wow, good job Splaya thats pretty impressive :)

I was playing on Wasteland as well, match was at 7300, I had Harriers/Gunner/Nuke set up and was sniping from the school. I saw someone in my sights and someone behind them was about to fire and someone noobtubed them :(

I ended the match 24-0-0 :(

Im getting sick of noob tubes, takes all of the skill out of the game.

If there was a playlist with ONLY Bailout, I would be happy. I would play that map all day.

Played some hardcore HQ on it yesterday, and had been rocking the FAL all day. Well, I was getting some RIDICULOUS double/triple kills all over the place. People were just like lemmings, running into an HQ one after another.. Sat at the top of the stairs one time looking down into the billiards room, and just DESTROYED people as they were coming out of the lockbox hallway. At one point, the HQ was in there again and I came from the lockbox hall, saw a claymore through the wall and popped around to deliver a single shot to it for a double kill, followed by me popping the last guy with a dome shot. Ran in to cap the HQ, and another guy came from the hall.. bam, downed him and layed down behind the counter.. BAM. Two more.

Was on FIAH.

All the kids home from school are getting really annoying

This is why I hate Scrapyard with a fucking passion.

They are fine to flush someone out of a building/take out a camper like they are intended to in real life.

Not run around and use them like a primary weapon.

Its because of scavenger pro. They really need to disallow picking up ammo for it.

i love real life, where things like heartbeat sensors and automated sentry guns exist

Don't get me started on those things. Sentry gun is possible, pretty sure heartbeat sensor is not. As for scavenger, it should only allow to pick ammo up if that player dropped ammo of that gun type or equipment type (grenade if you had a semtex, ak ammo if using an assault, grenade for launcher if that person actually had any. Any who, you don't even have to aim with the danger close and if you have fuckers using heartbeat/noob tube/ danger close it makes me see red.

Played the SHIT out of this today. About 8 hours total. Saw the care package glitch 1 game I think, but other then that no glitchers that I saw. They do throw the new maps in the regular rotations as I was playing them quite a bit on Merc TDM. I'm about to get my first ever mastery on any weapon with the ACR.

In scrapyard, I just go into that building on the far side and sit in the upstairs room with a vector and just sling bullets outside.

Just a quick tibbit.

To get a nuke, play ground war and hope to get domination

Have Harriers/Gunner/Nuke

Get 7 kills and drop the harriers near where they are spawning, once you get the gunner DO NOT use it until the harriers goes away as you would be stealing kills from the harrier and you need to make everything count. Once they are gone, drop the gunner and hope to fuck no one shoots it down.

If you make it to like 22-24, play it extremely safe and wait for people to come to you.

Yeah thats how my friend got it, but he did it in TDM in Afghan.

Its very difficult to do in TDM as you need 1/3 of total kills and I find unless you have harriers by the time your team is at 2500, you wont get it.

Just bought this. I am not a big shooter guy, but my friends told me this game was the shit. So, I'll give it a shot.

For Xbox or Ps3?

XBox360™

add me on there, xDoMx J0KER

(the o in joker is a zero)

We can play a few private matches so you can learn the maps.
