Yeah, I cannot get behind 1200 point map packs, especially considering I'm still riding Bad Company 2.

All 3 new maps look pretty hot.

Draft · « **Reply #1563 on:** March 24, 2010, 11:16:45 AM »

I've already made up my mind, I'm buying them. The price is too high, but whatever, MW2 is simply too Goddamn fun and my RL gaming crew will definitely be copping these.

Can't wait to get cheesed by noob tubes and rage at commando lunges in 3 new and two not so new maps $:-\$

cool breeze · « **Reply #1564 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:26:05 AM »

The new maps look pretty great and if I had this on 360 I would consider it. The first and third one they showed off seem like the types of maps I enjoy playing on the most. That junk snow one looked alright and the two CoD4 maps are amazing as is.

I doubt it. Like the Xbox Arcade Games games come out at like 6AM EST.

Fuck me I didn't get a chance to practice as I was playing Battlefield. I know I'm gonna suck big time when I switch back over.

Also at least for the map pack playlists its going to be double XP supposedly until the weekend is over.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #1568 on:** March 30, 2010, 11:00:22 AM »

Hmmm....

The map pack seems to have broken the MP part of the game for me. I can't get into a stimulus pack playlist or a normal playlist for that matter.

I guess I'll try again later in the evening. I think there was supposed to be a title update in conjunction with this that needs to be pushed or something.

Yeah. There are two stimulus playlists. One standard and one hardcore. It's kind of like the mosh pit playlist. You play through a variety of gametypes over the different maps like sabotage, domination, team dm, etc.

Once/if you integrate the DLC into the regular rotation you will have issues of splitting up those who have the DLC and those who don't. It happens with every game that gets DLC of course but its always a weird situation.

When I rented World at War, I was sort of annoyed that 50% of the time I tried to join a playlist, it said I couldn't because I didn't own the DLC.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #1579 on:** March 30, 2010, 03:32:36 PM »

I'm surprised Activision wouldn't be into frustrating people into buying the DLC.

bork · « **Reply #1580 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:03:12 PM »

Lots of people complaining about the lack of playlist options for the DLC. WTF was IW thinking not including at least a basic Team Deathmatch option? I kept joining games where everyone would quit out if it didn't go to a map with that play style.

It froze up on me once when it finally did go to a TDM map, too.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #1581 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:06:50 PM »

There are currently more people playing the map pack than any other mode. Everybody is going to buy it...

...and everybody is going to be disappointed.

$:-\$ The maps are good and all that, but man do they need to add in more game type options, STAT.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #1583 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:13:08 PM »

Played for an hour. Quite enjoyed myself although its taking me awhile to transition back to the faster pace as compared to Battlefield. As far as people playing it, yep. It's by far the most popular playlist and there were about 800K on in the afternoon which is much higher than it normally is which is about 500K or so give or take 100k (145k in the regular stim playlist and 56k in the hardcore stim playlist which is what I was playing)

I also wish there a separate Team DM playlist for the new maps. Hopefully they will add that relatively soon.

bork · « **Reply #1584 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:18:34 PM »

There needs to be options for map pack-only multiplayer and also integrated DLC into the regular playlist, as another separate mode, of course.

ManaByte · « **Reply #1585 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:29:40 PM »

Has any FPS on the 360 integraded the DLC into the regular playlist? I know Halo 3 had separate playlists. As did CoD WAW. Maybe it's MS policy?

The stim pack maps will be integrated into the other playlists but that will be down the road. But yeah ideally there should be some clever way of knowing who has what so it doesn't break up groups or force you out of games if you don't have the map pack. Like I said, I didn't care for the World at War solution so hopefully its better than that.

A lot of games have the issue where either its forcing you out of games because you don't have the DLC or you never end up getting the new stuff because its defaulting to the base of what everybody has.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #1587 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:50:50 PM »

By the time this map pack is actually playable, it'll probably be discounted and that's when I'll nab it. I'm laughing at everyone else, though.

drew · « **Reply #1588 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:34:52 PM »

ive only played half a game so far on the new maps and i kept pressing lb for a grenade and clicking the right stick to crouch, i havent even been playing bfbc2 that much

Ganhyun · « **Reply #1589 on:** March 30, 2010, 10:01:20 PM »

got in and played for around an hour. Man, people have forgotten how to play the older maps. I went 38-5 on Crash in Demolition. Went 68-15 on the junkyard map on Demolition. Did 20-7 on a Team Deathmatch on the other snowy map with the big warehouse in it. Also played some Sabotage and Search and Destroy too. Liking the new maps so far as well as the redid old maps, but Crash feels ALOT smaller to me now after being used to the standard mw2 maps.

Completely agreed and that was my first thought also. It sort of feels almost too small because I've gotten use to the size of the new maps which on average are bigger in MW 2 than COD 4.

I liked the other maps quite a bit though. And Overgrown still feels great to me. It was this weird feeling playing it in MW 2 versus COD 4. It felt similar but different at the same time because its nothing like the MW 2 maps which tend to be more dense and slightly more complex.

Yea, and I guess most of the people I played with last night must have not played COD4 much or at all either. People camped the obvious spots, but completely ignored the lesser known/used spots. People used to not try to take the back alley due to snipers in the grass on COD4 too. I managed to kill their entire team 2 times back there before having to move

I've also grown to like some of the objective modes (beyond just headquarters or domination which are the two main modes outside of Team DM that I use to play) since I've been playing with some people I know. You just have to let your kill-death ratio go and play as what's best for your team. I also had to switch my layouts to things that work for objective modes more which tend to be faster paced and about quick reactions in tight situations.

Demolition in particular is pretty fun if you are playing with a good squad.

I try to not get wrapped up in the bitching about this game, because in spite of its numerous flaws I enjoy playing it very much.

BUT

WTF at having killstreak rewards carry over from round to round in game types like HQ, sabotage, etc. I played a couple rounds yesterday and there was a sick dude in the lobby who would go like 15-2 in the first round, and then as soon as round two begins: stinger, harrier, chopper gunner, GG. It's crazyness.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #1603 on:** April 01, 2010, 11:46:55 AM »

I prefer that design otherwise the kill streaks are wasted. I specifically save mine for the correct situational use and the holdover if our team is performing decently. It's why even if you win the first half you don't go crazy and let someone rack it up on the other side because they will win the second half.

My game last night with tejb, quickscoping in an open lobby, I just had to take a pic to brag about it later on on the forums

If I only my capture card was working.

I am not really good at quick scoping and I didn't have steady aim on which made it a bit worse too, so instead I tried to focus on taking over the flags in domination and planting the bombs on search. I tried to kill tejb several times but he is way better than me at this.

I also started to play search and destroy a lot more recently, the double xp makes it really rewarding.
getting 2 headhsots and shooting down a UAV gives you at least 5000xp in one round, that not including planting and defusing.

I would have probably waited another month if it weren't for your help, so thanks again for that.
I got 25000xp in a match today, pretty awesome, got an ac130 from a package on overgrown the map that you liked, got it by killing 4 guys on at a time in the first round by planting at A and hiding under the stairs
