    Crash and Overgrown are nice and nostalgic to re-visit, but the rest of the maps are the same as any other MP map from IW. They feel %80 complete, and the rest is just filler. IW has proven that for the most part, they cannot make a decent MP map. For 1200 MSP, this is not a worthwhile purchase, especially since the state of MP in this game is broken beyond repair.

I used to respect IW, not it seems they lost sight of what their true intentions were. Or, Activision is holding a gun to their head and telling them what they can and cannot do. Expand

    Thought there would be more for the price. Disappointed that Activision didn't pack the DLC like World at War DLC. i.e. new maps and Zombie mode. I was hoping for at least new spec-ops missions along with maps. Oh well good-bye space bucks. I will be more hesitant on the next DLC available.

  1. Is the Stimulus Pack worth 1200 Microsoft Points? It depends. The new maps are nice enough, and offer good gameplay solutions (in particular Storm), but the price is way too much for this DLC. The return of two Modern Warfare classics is nice, but after hours and hours of play with the original game, the idea of having fun with them again is not so nice. If you're a Modern Warfare 2 supporter, probably you'll buy this DLC anyway. Else, be careful: it's not such a big deal.
  2. Taking into account the amount of content and pricing of 1200MSP, we've given the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package a respectable Overall Rating of 6.5/10. Modern Warfare 2 veterans will surely be picking the Stimulus Package up, and it does what it sets out to do, in giving players some new, well laid out maps to do battle on.

    It accomplishes what it sets out to do, but the Stimulus Package feels closer to a shot of caffeine than it does adrenaline.
