Modern Warfare 2: Stimulus Package

When Battlefield Bad Company 2 dropped, tons of the MW2 fans jumped ship.  Listen folks, MW2 was a great game and I wasted spent many, many hours playing it.  Truth be told, like anything else, it gets a little tired.  The problems I've had with the game become more frustrating by the hour, and I really don't feel like taking the pointless prestige route.  There are only so many challenges you can do, and I think I've unlocked enough emblem pictures. 

So how does Infinity Ward respond to their clients leaving for another game?  The Stimulus Package!  A map pack sporting 5 new maps (two of them from the original Modern Warfare).... and that's it!  No new challenges, no new weapons, no new missions, simply maps.  All for the low, low price of $15.  Meh.  It is going to take a lot more than a few new maps to get me back.  Hell, if Infinity Ward would have spent that effort on banning hackers I might possibly consider it. 

The other fear I have for this expansion is that the new maps would never be accessible.  Why you might ask?  Because you can't effing pick a map in MW2!  The server will randomly pick maps for you, thus the new maps you paid for will be at a random selection process with the maps you've already played the hell out of!  Infinity Ward, I really hope you can get your ducks in a row before MW3.  As for now, BC2 is my winner.

Battlefield Bad Company 2

Truth be told I miss the Battlefield series.  BF2 was probably the best version and I have fond memories of playing the game.  Back in the day I'd go with about 8 or so friends down to the local PC cafe and we would "squad up" and pwn the hell out of some n00bs.  For my money I think BF2 wins the title for best squad based game play (best FPS goes to Call of Duty, emphasis on Modern Warfare).  The ranking system in BF2 was kind of a pain in the ass (as were the weapon unlocks) but no game is perfect.  The futuristic version of BF never really got off the ground, and thus I've been waiting for the newest incarnation of the game.

Well it looks like that day will soon come with Battlefield Bad Company 2.  I was quite disappointed when the first Bad Company was denied a PC release, but if all goes as planned Bad Company 2 will be on PS3, XBOX 360, and PC on Sept. 30th.  That will should hold us all over before L4D2, Bioshock 2, CODMW2, and a few others come out :)
