Infinity Ward defending the cost of MW2's DLC

To say we were a tad flabbergasted that Modern Warfare 2‘s 5 map pack DLC costs $15 is about right. We weren’t exactly outraged. It’s just a video game after all and really doesn’t matter that much. But $15 is a bit much for five maps with two of the recycled from previous Call of Duty games. Infinity Ward’s Creative Strategist Rob Bowling disagrees. He calls it an investment. Well, Creative Strategist is just code for Public Relations so he kind of has to say that. → Read More

Modern Warfare 2 DLC map pack coming to PC March 30, Xbox and PS3 shortly after

We featured a so-called leaked video showing MW2‘s upcoming map pack last week but had no idea when players will get access to the new maps. Activision finally came clean, though, and announced that the DLC will hit PCs first on March 30, with consoles getting it sometime afterwards. Oh, and yeah, it will be named Stimulus Package just like the rumor stated, which is a kind of appropriate name, actually. → Read More

Video: Wherein some poor dude gets Rick Roll'd via Modern Warfare 2

It’s a long video at a second shy of ten minutes, but don’t worry, the action starts early around 2:30. The best part is that the bloke doesn’t even know what a Rick Roll is. Oh, and what’s up with his couch? → Read More

Thou shalt not look: Activision slaps a Cease & Desist on MW2 aimbot hack

Hope you peeped that youtube video when we told you about it earlier, because Activition has fired off a cease and desist order on the video of the aimbot and wallhack being used. They claim it’s a copyright infringement, but there’s a whole lot more video out there that they are just ignoring. Sounds like someone is trying to hide their dirty laundry. → Read More
