We can all pretty much agree that Infinity Ward did a bang up job with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. My only serious beef with them was their lack of support after the game’s release. They only managed to release a single Map Pack which left fans of the game wanting more.
It looks like their support for Modern Warfare 2 will be more ambitious. Promising at least two DLC’s after the game’s release and maybe even more depending on fan reactions.
In an email to MTV Multiplayer, Infinity Ward’s community manager Robert Bowling hinted that this time around things will be different. Who loves you baby?
“As far as DLC goes, we love it and plan to support Modern Warfare 2 heavily with post-launch support,” he said. “We’ve confirmed we’ll be doing at least two map packs which were announced at E3 as a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360. The fact that we confirmed at least two map packs doesn’t mean there won’t be more; honestly we plan on shaping our DLC based on community feedback from the full game, and the first two DLC map packs. Therefore, the community will really determine what comes after that.”
It would be nice to see Infinity Ward follow in the footsteps of Treyarch, who just released it’s third Map Pack for Call of Duty: World at War. As long as gamers are willing to fork over their cash (and they will) IW should pump out at least three or four solid DLC’s.
Of course we all know Modern Warfare 2 will sell roughly 4,000,000,000 copies anyway. They’ll be able to print their own currency and buy the moon…
