First Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack Hits Xbox 360 On March 30

Try not to get all... mapathetic?

Fresh off of the SuperTwitter Hotwire 8000 (our proprietary device that lets us read Twitter posts and turn them into something resembling "news") is a post from Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling, which points people to mapathy.com. Image below!

No Caption Provided
So in case you were wondering when that first Modern Warfare 2 map pack was going to hit on 360, there you go. March 30. Unless I'm reading this wrong, of course. I mean, it could be anything, right? Right?

Outstanding!   This year has been hella full of great games and the new MW2 DLC is releasing a week with nothing new I must buy/play.  Hopefully the DLC will be accompanied by a bit double xp too.

This lady's a straight swap for that Nintendo "NEVER" poster girl.
 
This one's a little different, though. She's got MAPATHY, and she wants me.
 
That's what I'm getting from this.

Infinity Ward is but a shell now... empty and robbed of its former glory. All hail the Kodick, the antichrist of videogames. Hey, maybe this thing is gonna be good.

1. you don't have to create 2 posts in a row, both saying that a certain game is stupid 
2. it's "you're" 
3. They're not trying to start a controversy. I don't know if you're talking about this ad or the recent lawsuit, but no one is trying to create a huge controversy.

My first instinct after announcements like this is to instantly say GET HYPE!  In any case I'm glad this is still coming through considering the Activision-IW Leadership situation.  Hopefully they patch out all the elevator and maphole glitches before this comes out.  And possibly expand out the playable maps in certain game modes (Ex more than four maps for Hardcore Headquarters)

How does this start a controversy? FAGS video was controversial, Dante's Inferno ad campaign was controversial. Stop being such an idiot.
 
On topic, I can't justify buying this map pack since I don't play the game anymore.

That's funny, but they act like it's not their fault that MW2 has so many damn camp spots.

The actual solution to Mapathy is to procedurally generate the level layout with each match. This will be the Diablo influence on FPS games that will actually stick... not random guns.

Consult your physician before downloading. Side effects may include extreme giddyness, excessive noob tubing, and loss of sleep or appetite. Talk to your doctor to decide if the Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack is right for you.
