Let's see... 4 maps for $15 or an expansion from Bad Company 2 for the same price. 

How long was it between the release of MW2 and the first map pack? This seems quite long. Also $15, which equals about £10, for a 4 maps is a rip-off. (I won't play the zombie one)

This is pathetic when you compare it to an entire expansion for BC2 for the same price. GG Treyarch/Activision. 
 
Edit: Oh, and don't forget they get maps for free.

Stadium at least looks like it has a bit of character, unlike the generally aesthetically bland maps on the disc.

cool $15 is a lot but i will probably get it. i haven't played this game in a while. i think should play it more.

" @RsistncE: you clearly don't understand that what causes a market failure is people not spending enough money. Technically, spending $15 dollars stimulates the economy.   Anyways, if I'm still playing black ops, I'll definitely be picking this up. The fact that these maps are not rehashes from old CoD games and it comes with a zombie map makes them much more valuable to me than they were for Modern Warfare 2.  "

also its actually 5 NEW MAPS  because it includes a zombie map. which i love to play. 
 
 
people bitched when MW2 released 3 new maps plus 2 from COD4 for $15. and that WAS a rip off. but 5 all new maps aint that bad. Considering it'll get a good 10-20 hours out of me (probably way more). i pay $60 for games that take sometimes less than 20 hours to beat and they dont even have online!! 
 
Also the stadium map sounds really cool. 

" @RsistncE:  You are so way off base it's not even funny. So I would have to be straight up retarded to pay $15 for something I will enjoy and get many hours of time of game play out of? I fail to see the logic here. Maybe for people who will only play them a couple of times it would be a waste of money, but for me it will not be. "

" @RsistncE: Seriously? You do know your talking about a $15 map pack on Xbox Live right? I am not only going to spend my money the way I want, but I am going to spend it on something that I deem a good value. To me they are not gouging, to me I will get more hours of enjoyment for that $15 dollars than anything else. I am giving my money to a developer that makes games that I enjoy, I feel those people who work for said company deserve my money. There are plenty of people who don't feel the value is in it for them, more power to them. I would guarantee you spend money on things that I think gouge, or is not of any value at all. Not to mention I fail to see how there is a monopoly on map packs, because I have purchased them for other games besides Call of Duty as well, and have many other people. Nobody seems to complain that Halo will come out with a 3 map pack with re-releases of older maps and charge $10. "

" I think i'm done with Black Ops, i didn't like it as much as MW2, also AC: Brotherhood has me hooked i've already spent like 17 hours playing it. "

you keep saying that friend, but you keep coming back to the Black Ops forum....are you looking for something here? "

" @zombie2011: what does that have to do with anything?
If your best reply to a legitimate question is "piss off" well then I apologize for asking. "
