Even more information on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s “Stimulus Package” downloadable content has been revealed! The 329mb pack is a map pack that contains five new maps you can use for multiplayer matches. Two of the maps, Crash and Overgrown, are taken directly from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The other three, Bailout, Storm and Salvage, are entirely new. If you’re interested, make sure you have spare money lying around as they’ll cost you 1,200 Microsoft Points.
The question is, are five new maps really worth 1,200 MP/$15? Personally, I’d say no. (That money could probably buy another full, downloadable game! Or a used physical copy of a game at GameStop!) I’m sure Call of Duty fans would have a different opinion. You’re essentially paying $5 per map when you get this DLC. That isn’t totally unheard of though, and the map packs for the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare used a similar pricing structure. I still say that a DLC pack called a “Stimulus Package” should be a little more affordable, since you’re only buying virtual content.
As mentioned earlier on Gamertell, this is the first DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It’ll debut on the Xbox 360 on March 30, 2010, and then arrive on the PC and PS3 shortly after. The PC version will also likely cost 1,200 MP/$15 through Windows Live.

EXPENSIVE!!!
Is there a way to copy the map packs from one Hard drive to another hard drive. I tired to copy the CODMW2 map pack to a memory card then moved to the other hard drive. The file for the map pack is there but the maps don't work. IS there a way to copy and successfully use the maps?
When you move your DLC, you have to go and redownload it to renew its license. It’ll be free but make sure its the right item.
