Dear Infinity Ward..

Are you serious IW? $15 ($20 when converted into SGD) for a Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack DLC? Are you guys out of your minds?



The contents of this DLC = 5 new maps, which includes 2 old maps from Call of Duty 4.

Others may think that paying 20 mere bucks for 3 new and 2 old maps for multiplayer gameplay is very cheap. Hell, I'm definitely not going to pay 2o bucks for 3 new maps! It would be better if IW did it like Battlefield, have a veteran program.

The Veteran Program works like this.. Using Battlefield as a reference. If you own more than one Battlefield copy of any title, you're entitled to a Veteran Level 1. At Level 1, you get to unlock a special gun named the M1 Garand for use in Battlefield Bad Company 2. Think about this, let's bring Call of Duty into the picture. Let's say if you have earlier versions before MW2, like Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare. The players could use their COD4 CD-Key to unlock maps into MW2. BUT, IW insists on a worthless 20 bucks DLC of pixels. The Veteran Program is what made us, loyal Battlefield customers happy to own more than one Battlefield game.

Let's see what we can purchase with 20 bucks.
~20 Empty DVDs for burning stuff
A food spread at a hawker centre
A cheap game [Probably better than MW2] in eBay
And so much more.

Like every other guy, I can afford 20 bucks. I can't offer my 20 bucks to IW because they absolutely don't cater to their customers. IW took out Dedicated Servers, Mods and Punkbuster from MW2. MW2 got raped by IW, seriously. Look at Call of Duty 4. People are still purchasing it, it's still alive and kicking due to mods. Look at MW2. People hacking everywhere and the worst part, hackers don't get banned, they prevail! Every Ground War I played, there had to be at least one hacker in the midst, owning everywhere. Balance and fairplay is dead in MW2.

To IW: Don't release a DLC for an already broken down, hacked Modern Warfare 2. Fix the damn game before releasing anything else. I mean what I said, I won't purchase the $20 DLC until everything is fixed. Period.
