Double XP, half-price maps invade Modern Warfare this weekend

by Xav de Matos { Sep 11th 2008 at 2:45PM }

Attention cyber-soldiers: Infinity Ward has dropped word that the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map pack will be made available for half price (400MS points) this weekend. Attempting to gain popularity for the struggling title, players will also be able to earn Double XP during ranked games beginning September 12, 12AM PDT and running through September 14 at midnight -- the same time-frame for the discounted maps.

If you'd like to show your support for a title that barely made a splash during its release downloading the four map package would be a nice start. Infinity Ward needs your help and are even offering Limited Edition Prestige gamerpics for free as yet another bonus. Save a developer. Help this struggling franchise. Oh, wait. We were thinking of Soldier Of Fortune for some reason. Never mind, Modern Warfare sold like a bajillion copies.

Ed. Note: Bajillion is SO a word.

Who's still playing this game and doesn't have the map packs?

Conor @ Sep 11th 2008 3:33PM

All my friends play a lot of Call of Duty 4 and have the maps,I don't think it would be worth buying them now though for myself.

El Capitaine @ Sep 11th 2008 4:42PM

Me.

I don't actually own the game - more like borrowing it indefinitely from somebody who's Xbox broke (NOT RROD - so its $100 to fix, or so he says)

I dont want to spend the 400 MSP, since then it'd be a waste if I ended up having to give the game back the next day. Plus...the current maps are fine for me.

Imaging all the thing you've wasted 5 bucks on....

Gloqwi @ Sep 11th 2008 9:16PM

Thinking of the things I can save 5 bucks on.

I was totally too addicted on CoD4 and just burnt out on it. Sorry, I won't even spend $5 for them.

Julie @ Sep 13th 2008 2:15PM

I don't have them yet. They're a rip off, if you look at the Carentan map on COD2, it's the exact same structure and layout as Chinatown except with pretty lights and some furniture. Oh and also its night time. thats pretty much it.

Funny wording in this article. I was confused to the very end and half expecting a Halo 3 fanboy rant...

Jonman @ Sep 11th 2008 3:09PM

A bajillion is a thousand squillion.

FACT!

Robert @ Sep 11th 2008 3:20PM

i liked this article. it made me chuckle... i actually thought that you were mistaking COD4 with frontlines.

DJcube @ Sep 11th 2008 3:21PM

TBH, I still can't justify getting the maps. It won't change how much time I spend playing the game.

Trunas @ Sep 11th 2008 3:26PM

I too was like, what the hell are they talking about until the end.

Doll @ Sep 11th 2008 3:30PM

Is this a price drop to milk customers, before they announce the maps will be free soon?

dmb360 @ Sep 11th 2008 3:43PM

Nope, I think it is to milk the money from the stragglers before Gears of War 2 comes out.

ryan @ Sep 11th 2008 3:56PM

i think CoD2 maps are still priced. i don't think these will ever be free.

pibs @ Sep 11th 2008 3:52PM

The maps are not all that, If you don't have them now, you are not missing out on much.

ryan @ Sep 11th 2008 3:59PM

only missing out on playing said maps with your friends. it's a real downer when you can't. might as well get em now if you still play it.

Katana @ Sep 11th 2008 4:03PM

The double XP is nice, since I need to get over the hump for my next prestige.

Also gamerpics are always nice.

Doug @ Sep 11th 2008 4:16PM

broadcast is cool... and i like chinatown, but everyone vetoes it. creek is fun if you like to sit in one place for 10 minutes. killhouse, never played it.

erivera3 @ Sep 11th 2008 7:48PM

Everyone vetoes Chinatown because it is Campfest 2008.

I regret buying the new maps, Broadcast is the only decent map, but they are all horribly designed levels with campers around every corner and in every window.

mrpeatie @ Sep 11th 2008 4:20PM

New maps?

fleshman03 @ Sep 11th 2008 5:38PM

Hella yeahz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was reading that I was wondering what the hell was up... Looks like tonight is going to be a pizza hut and COD4 night. Could you think of a better way to end my third week of grad school? I think not.

Look 4 me.
