Modern Warfare 2 "Stimulus Pack" Aptly Named!

 

 

You get five maps (three new, two remakes) will run you 1200 MS points or $15.  This is pretty understandable considering what Stimulus is.  You see, in economic terms the Stimulus is where the government gives money to big companies to get them out of financial trouble from taxes that they collect from regular folks who are just struggling to survive.  Well, here, Activision is taking your money and banking it because they had two of their top people leave/fired in the last month or so and this might be one of their last shots to cash in on the franchise.

   While the idea of this really ticks me off.  It doesn't matter too much to me, considering on the same day that the Stimulus Pack comes out I can get the Battlefield Bad Company 2 map pack for free.  Mmmm, $15 or free?  Sorry guys...  Hopefully you guys have moved on as well, but if not just remember that if you pay $15 for this now.  You won't be paying any less for future packs.  And I'm SURE there will be future map packs.
