The first Map Pack for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has finally been released on the PS3. The Map Pack was previously released on Xbox 360 and was a 360 exclusive for a couple of weeks but, now PS3 owners will get to experience the extended multiplayer as well.

The Stimulus Map pack brings you two maps from Call of Duty 4; Crash and Overgrown. There’s also three new maps to play on; Storm, Salvage and Bailout. To celebrate the release of the map pack, all players on all playlists will receive double XP. The map pack costs $14.99.

Well you were warned about cheating and they have banned the ones that were caught. On the 27th a Twitter announcement was made confirming this. I guess we can wonder why people cheat but really they do and always will. I don’t get cheating against other people though as you are telling me you really aren’t that good to begin with.

2,500 though? That seems like a small number to me as I am sure there are more out there, I guess their turn will come.

Activision is reporting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has sold $310 million, about 4.7 million units, in its first day debut in North America and the United Kingdom. This makes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the biggest entertainment launch in history

“The Call of Duty franchise has become a cultural phenomenon showing the power of video games as an entertainment medium,” said Mike Griffith, CEO, Activision Publishing, Inc. “The shattering of these entertainment records is a testament to the compelling, cinematic and uniquely engaging experience that the Call of Duty brand delivers. Modern Warfare 2 has taken interactive experience to unprecedented heights setting a new standard for entertainment.”

Many CoD-ers have been expressing fears that when they receive their copy of Modern Warfare 2 that they will be at the bottom of the barrel on the leadboards.  Robert Bowling of  Infinity Ward has let us all know that all will be reset , creating a fair playing field for all those who had to wait to play the game.

I am all for people getting games early, but not for the sake of getting ahead of everyone else.
