COD4-2 Impressions

[gekko]

So the Stimulus package is out, and awesome (as expected). Crash and Overgrown have been slightly upgraded, but not a big overhaul or anything. They both have changed textures in certain areas, like the ground is now full of cracks where it used to be smooth. The mounted M249s were replaced with miniguns, which will be interesting.

Crash got a bigger upgrade in general, with tons of clutter added to the inside of many houses. Walls that used to be bare are now filled with racks of computers, bikes, lamps, book shelves, posters, etc.

The biggest difference I noticed on overgrown was the colors are all slightly different, as if they changed their gamma correction. Also, I noticed they have particles simulating dust inside of their volumetric lights... awesome!

Yeah this is a stimulus package for Activision...I'm not paying $15 for a map pack.

But anyway...apparently there is a double xp event starting today. Is that for every map or just the new map pack?

Not having these maps, its incredibly hard to find a hardcore game right now.

So looks like there is a bug with the new maps. Also form what i've read at a number of places, there isnt enough meat to warrant the $15 price tag. Ill probably wait to see if the price comes down.

Just sounds like more bandwagon bitching. While they have certainly been more DLC content for less money, there is nothing abnormal about the pricing, especially compared to Halo. It's just cool to hate MW2 right now.

It'll change around... I don't know, May 3rd?

Just found this pretty huge glitch that can get you cold blooded pro really quick.
I wonder how extensively they beta tested this game.

So looks like there is a bonus if you got the Stimulus package on day one, but only because of their errors.
