    Good.  You shouldn't be buying the map pack anyway.  Go put the $15 towards Battlefield.

     FYI RT @XboxSupport: Matchmaking across #XboxLIVE is fixed! You may still have trouble purchasing and we'll let u know ASAP when fixed.  
     
    From Major nelsons twitter. Xbox live had a sort of melt down a bit ago. But they are cleaning it up.

    Yeah, we had several people bringing points cards back to the store saying they weren't working. Finally we got an e-mail stating that Xbox Live was validating slowly or something. So, some of those lucky punks might end up with a free $20 in points. Go  them.
     
    Most likely this is simply the sheer number of people trying to validate points card codes breaking the servers.

    It's debatable if it was the "greatest entertainment release" because it is buggy and unbalanced, its not debatable that it sold like crazy and a ton of those people are buying an overpriced map pack that Activision is using to rip off its customers. At $15 bucks a pop, even if ONLY 1 million downloaded and bought it, that's $15 million, and the total bought will probably be closer to 2-4 million.

    @ZGoon:  meh, idk if i want to. i want to see them looking around for people playing them. my friend just bought bad campy 2 he said that he likes modern warfare 2 better. he thinks that bad company is slower.   i am waiting for battlefield 2. that game was so awesome when it came out. it was even more awesome when i found out that my video card was crap. when i upgraded it.... shit was so cash. it felt like a new game.

    You should spend your money on something worth while instead. 
     
    Steam is selling the Quake Collection for $15. That's 3 full games and 5 expansions. 
     
    Then again MW2 kiddies probably don't even remember Quake, even if they're based on the same engine.
     
    PS: Anyone who thinks BF2 was the pinnacle of DICE games belongs back in 2004 with the rest of the BF2 fundamentalists protesting 2142 and killing the BF franchise first hand, instead of sitting here whining because they directly influenced the current console-focused state of their beloved messiah franchise. You should hate yourself for making it this way, instead of DICE for following your lead.

    @MrKlorox: Bah. Any FPS fan would already have all of the Quake games to begin with (with the exception of Quake Wars).

    @MrKlorox: Now I understand you are one of those people who thinks they are cool because you play old games that you think little children have never heard of... but if you are gonna spout off your moronic nonsense then you should maybe climb up outta the dungeon in your moms basement and contribute something to society rather than be a waste of breath... Actually, maybe you should just get rid of your video games and go play D&D with the rest of the 40 year olds who never grew up... then slowly die of exhaustion because you are having too much fun too eat or drink. Finally then, the world will be a better place.

    You sir, need to learn something here. We do not like trolls. So get the hell out.
    If you want to bring up legitamite points then do so, until then, don't spout off unsubstantiated garbage.
