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.

I absolutely can not wait till November 10th, 2009. After this trailer, thsi game looks fucking incredible. The graphics look insanely amazing compared to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare among just everything else shown in the trailer. I want to hear or see more multiplayer details though.
Posted the other day were a few videos showing off parts of the new maps for Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 posted from the CallofDuty.com forums. Take a look for yourself, they do not look half bad either. I am very much looking forward to the new Zombie map.
Because of Treyarch and Activision selling more than one million copies of Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 during its first week of release, they will be releasing another map pack, 2, come June 2009.
The Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 will introduce three new multiplayer maps: “Banzai,” a jungle environment riddled with caves; “Corrosion,” a Russian train yard; and “Sub Pens,” a rain-drenched submarine base.
That’s all well and good, but now for the good stuff: a new Nazi Zombie map! “Shi No Numa,” home to this guy, promises new Perk machines, a new weapon, new achievements / trophies and flaming Hell hounds. It also promises to keep our repository of nightmare material well-stocked.
At 8AM CST (9AM EST, 6AM PST) in the morning Treyarch’s Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 will be released along with a title update. With this new map pack for 800MS points, you get 3 new maps to play online with and 1 new map for Zombie mode.
The title update addresses the following issues:
All rifle grenades fired during the first 15 seconds of S&D will be duds to prevent griefing in that game mode.
Improvements have been made to the global spawn system – players should never spawn within the line of sight of an enemy.
Players who equip the Bouncing Betty and melee teammates in Hardcore game modes are now credited with a team kill penalty.
Players are now deducted 200 points for team killing the bomb planter/defuser in Hardcore S&D.
Martyrdom no longer causes “direct impact” grenade deaths in Hardcore modes.
Players ranked higher than the maximum allowed in the Boot Camp playlist are no longer able to play in games with lower ranked friends in that playlist.
“Bayonet jumping” has been disabled.
Further improvements have been made to geographical matchmaking.
The “New” icon clears when a player has viewed an unlocked weapon (X360 only).
The official Call of Duty website has announced that a double XP weekend begins today for Call of Duty: World at War.
They are celebrating the release of this the “new” Makin map. It will run only this weekend (March 6th till 8th). Every platform will be able to take part in this, which are Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Nintendo Wii. It ends Monday morning Pacific Standard Time.
