E3 2009: Modern Warfare 2 Details and Timed-Exclusive Map Packs

E3 2009: Modern Warfare 2 Details and Timed-Exclusive Map Packs
Written Monday, June 01, 2009 by Jason Debelyak

The audience is treated to the lengthy Modern Warfare 2 trailer and out come the folks that will be demoing the game.  The demo opens up in a rock climbing area where you have to use your picks to scale the mountain side.  Then, while making a jump, the player barely survives a lunge by using the picks in the side of the mountain befoer falling to his untimely demise.

The demo then turns to the combat side of things, through a whiteout of snow where your vision is hindered to just a few feet.  And the demo then skips to a faster-paced sequence to show off more of the game's gameplay, including the snowmobile sequence that has been on everybody's minds.  The combat sequences on the snowmobile seem to be extremely on-point and accurate.

Also announced is that Infinity Ward will release two timed-exclusive map packs for Xbox Live!

It says *Timed-Exclusive* maps. does that mean you can only play it for say 5 mins (before next round), they change with time of day or time of week, or you can only pay them at certain times, explanation plz X360A! Kthx.

@19 - If i am not mistaken i think it means there will be map packs exclusive to the 360 for a timed period before they become available for the PS3 etc. Like the Fallout 3 DLC has been a timed exclusive for the 360 but will now soon become available for the PS3.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
