Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling has just tweeted shortly ago the following:

Modern Warfare 2 playlists now updated. They should all have double XP and include the new maps in their rotation. May need to restart! #MW2

This is great news! I do not know what person thought it would be fun at all to everyone to have to play in a variety of game modes in order to just play the new maps. Thank you for listening to the community on solely this one issue Infinity Ward! Thank you!

Modern Warfare 2′s New Map Pack’s have now been released! Grab them from the Marketplace or go to Xbox.com to purchase them and have them ready to download to your console.

You will also be getting a title update. This includes fixes for hacks, that will most likely be unpatched again, also improved local game searching, one many army tweaks, M9 challenge fix and much more.

We just got word that the Modern Warfare 2′s First Map Pack will be released at 7AM CST/5AM PST tomorrow!

Here is the upcoming downloadable content “Stimulus Package” for Modern Warfare 2. Provided for you in High Definition (HD). There are 3 new maps, Bailout, Storm and Salvage. Then also 2 old maps from Call of Duty 4 (COD4), Crash and Overgrown.

This map pack is exclusive to Xbox Live for the first match and will be out on March 30th, 2010. After the exclusive month is up, you will be able to grab them on PS3 or PC. This map pack on Xbox Live is 1200 MSP.

Mark your calendars now! April 2nd through April 5th is the first Double XP weekend that is coming to Modern Warfare 2! Also according to Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling’s tweet, this looks to be exclusive to Xbox 360 users too, so PlayStation 3 and PC users are out of luck.

But I am more than sure that you players on those platforms get your own Double XP weekend a month after when the maps are not exclusive to 360 anymore.

Mark the calendars now! April 2nd – 5th marks the first Double XP weekend on #MW2 for #xboxlive worldwide. New Maps + Double XP = No sleep.

Details about Infinity Ward’s upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map pack, titled the Stimulus Package, have been revealed via the weekly Xbox LIVE Marketplace podcast (from special guest Robert Bowling). This download contains five maps in total, two of which appeared in the first Modern Warfare title.

This pack will be available to download exclusively on Xbox LIVE starting on March 30, 2010. PS3 and PC owners will have to wait a bit longer but no official release for those systems has been revealed. Activision has confirmed the pack will cost 1200 Microsoft points ($14.99). 3 completely new and 2 rehashed (from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare) maps is below:

Here are the map descriptions:

It has just been confirmed by Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling that Modern Warfare 2′s first DLC (downloadable content) will arrive on Xbox 360 March 30th, 2010. If you are unaware of this, this is exclusive to Xbox 360 for the first 30 days only. Afterwards, those PS3 and PC players will be able to play these new maps as well. So mark your calendars!

In this new downloadable content currently titled from my knowledge as “Stimulus Package” I do know contain 2 maps from Call of Duty 4, those being Overgrown and Crash. I am more a fan of Strike and Bog and wish those were coming over instead. Could you imagine a game of Bog on Modern Warfare 2? Hell yeah, I wish it would happen. But I would be more than happy with just Strike, my favorite map of all time.

They also contain 3 new maps Complex, Compact and Storm. I can not post pictures that have been previously leaked days ago. You will just have to wait till the end of the month to play them or as new information arrives over the next few weeks. I am sure there will be and we will be posting them when the time comes too.

Are you looking to get the two achievement for collecting 5 collectable weapons “New Shiny Weapon” in Battlefield: Bad Company 2? As well as the other final achievement for weapons, “Guns Guns Guns” for collecting 15? Then you are at the right place. Looking for the M-Com Station Locations Guide? It will be up here shortly.

If you are looking at collecting ALL of the weapons, for which you get no achievement or anything else from the game other than filling the list, then this is a guide for you as well. Here you will find very, rare and only one location weapons such as the USAS-12S and SPAS-12S (slug versions).

I am more than happy to hear that Infinity Ward fought for these titles to be released. I do not know what heads over at Activision think that such a title would be a risk. What type of people are they actually asking or who was doing the marketing research to think that no one would want such a title? These guys should be instantly fired from the company.

Why? The outcome was fucking crazy, ignore Modern Warfare 2 sells for a moment and just take a look at just Call of Duty 4. Yup, not much a risk anymore was it Activision and now you are rich. Not many people want games of the past anymore. Everybody is loving Modern this and that. Examples: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Medal of Honor, Battlefield Series and others.

Former Infinity Ward bosses Vince Zampella and Jason West said last year that Activision never wanted to create a Modern Warfare title – and the studio had to “fight” to convince the publisher to let them create CoD4.

Zampella and West were sensationally ousted from their positions yesterday – after Activision security ‘stormed’ Infinity Ward HQ in California. The publisher accused some Infinity Ward staff – thought to be West and Zampella – of ‘insubordination’.

But it appears disagreement between the parties was nothing new. In October last year, Zampella and West discussed their differences of opinion with Activision to OPM. West even said Infinity Ward had to “fight for everything” with their owners.

Zampella added: “Activision also did not want Modern Warfare. They thought working on a modern game was risky and [thought], ‘oh my god you can’t do that, it’s crazy!’ They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time,” he said.
