PSA: Modern Warfare 2 DLC drops today, updates detailed
The day the Modern Warfare 2 hardcore have been waiting for is here: the Infinity Ward shooter’s first map pack, the Stimulus Package, drops later today on Xbox Live Marketplace.
IW’s Rob Bowling has detailed what to expect later today, including a patch for all versions of the game and the start of a double XP week that was previously supposed to kick off at the weekend.
You can get more details on the update here.
The Stimulus DLC includes five new maps: Bailout, Salvage, Storm, and classic maps Crash and Overgrown.
The DLC is exclusive to Xbox Live for at least 30 days, and will be coming to PS3 and PC down the line, but no exact date has yet been given for both platforms.
A second map pack will also be coming, as promised last week by Bowling, and will also be exclusive to Xbox Live Marketplace, as stated at E3 last summer.

I have a fair chunk of MS points left after buying 4200 MS points last week, so I may buy this.
I’ve only spent at least 880 from them so far on Perfect Dark and Alan Wake Avatar gear (fuck you, I’m stoked for this).
So, why not?

I just bought loads of MW2 avatar stuff the other day as well!
What is the exact BST ETA on this DLC?

Nothing’s been confirmed, but I’d assume sometime between 9am – 12pm BST.

Weren’t you one of the guys making fun of HOME users buy clothes for their avatars?
Hypocrisy is the back bone of the world I see.

AceyBongos is saying it’s midday, but it sounds as though he’s getting battered on Twitter – http://twitter.com/AceyBongos/statuses/11298809512

Heh. Just had Microsoft on the phone. They’re giving us an amazing Modern Warfare 2 prize to give away today because of this. Just waiting for some images, but I’ll stick it up in a bit.
