Activision has announced that two map packs will be released for Modern Warfare 2. At E3 Microsoft stated that these map packs would first be made available for the Xbox 360/Xbox Live before they would be released for other platformsRobert Bowling has stated that the community response to the game and the first two downloadable map packs would be used in designing other potential map packs.
The first map pack, the Stimulus Package, was released on Xbox Live on March 30, 2010 and will be released on Playstation3 on May 4 for North America and May 5 for Europe. At a cost of fifteen dollars. The pack contains five maps: reincarnations of the Crash and Overgrown maps from Call of Duty 4, and three new maps: Bailout, a multi-level apartment complex; Storm, an industrial park littered with heavy machinery; and Salvage, an abandoned car junkyard in the middle of the snow.Within 24 hours of its release, it was downloaded over one million times. Within the first week it had been downloaded 2.5 million times, breaking Xbox Live DLC records. The Stimulus Pack, unlike previous Call of Duty map packs, does not integrate the maps into all game types. Instead the Simulus Pack adds two new game modes, randomizing the built-in game types in either normal or hardcore mode.
