is that they've already planned them

which to me sounds like there done and could have just been included

yet activision wants to milkit

Exactly. But they know millions of fools will buy the map packs regardless.

Almost every game that's been recently launched has had DLC planned for it before the game was even released. Fallout New Vegas had DLC planned before the game was even out, and is supposed to fix one of Fallout 3's biggest failures, which should have been in New Vegas to begin with, but they are scamming people into buying their DLC so they can continue playing their own game.

I know you might say that people don't have to finish the campaign missions first and can complete all the side missions, and then the campaign, but if you have any gamer friends or surf the internet regularly, then everybody is going to be talking about everything about Fallout, including the ending, so you're likely to just have the story spoiled for you if you choose to wait.

Activision isn't alone in this pre-launch DLC bullsh*t, so don't act like they created this milking tactic, or are even one of the few who do this kind of sh*t, because they're not, a lot of companies do this kind of crap. But don't mistake this comment as a defense for Activision, because I personally hope they go bankrupt, but you should also apply the same standards to other companies such as Bethesda as well, and speak out against their milking tactics too.

because it's already on your disk, this is why hackers are useful at times, they can view whats inside the disk.
Did you know shipment backlot and pipeline? they just weren't finished completely, so they aren't playable.

Watch Activision announce that Call Of Duty: Black Ops will be pay to play online the day after release. I certainly hope not. They should wait until the next Call Of Duty comes out to have a subscription service. If there is with Black Ops I'm selling my copy.

Because everyone else gives theirs away from free, and plenty of other games are just as high quality as CoD.

Doesn't include M$ forcing publishers to charge for DLC by the way.

DAMN SHAME!!!! *cries and hugs casket*

Your point? I know it's multiplayer based, but they are releasing like 14 maps with the game. It's not like they are making you pay for the maps that are released when the game is released. It's all EXTRA content. If you don't want to buy the map pack in the future, you don't have to and you can continue to play the game as you always were. Some people on here think you should get some more content for free. It would be nice, but this is a business and treyarch and activision enjoy making money. Back in the day we never had downloadable content due to technology gaps, but now that we do, there is nothing wrong with ANY company adding on content at a price.

If you want it, buy it. If you don't, then you don't have to.

@JeffGUNZ

Back in the day PC got free downloadable content, and still mostly does.

Either way, they've planned their DLC ahead of time. Maybe if it was an afterthought then yeah it'd be alright, like a fan request. But they're planning it before the game is done. Think about it.

I am thinking about it and it's a good idea. I am glad they are thinking of supporting their product after it gets released. That gives me more incentive to buy it knowing they plan to support it fully after release. I think some people get the word "plan" confused with "completed". Just because they plan on making additional map packs does not mean they have completed making them. I plan on becoming rich in the future, doesn't mean I AM rich now. You know what I am saying? In this day and age, for console gaming, post support for a game should be mandatory. No one complains about fallout, assassins creed, borderlands, and other games having DLC. I think a lot of hate here is because people just don't like activision. I for one, am super pumped they have map packs in the future planned. Also, again, everyone has the option to NOT purchase them if they do not desire to.

I've played Online for 20d 4hrs, +7hrs SP, +7hrs Spec ops
Thats 498 hrs. I purchased both DLC's so that means I spent $79.
Which works out at $0.16 dollars per hour.

Compare that to a 2 hour movie for $15 = $7.50 per hour.

I'd say I'm getting pretty ausome value for money.

Hahahaa at disagrees. You can be petty all you want, the facts speak for themselves. Even with the DLC MW2 has provided more bang for my buck per hour than any game I've ever owned, and I've owned quite a few!

There are other FPS out there that would provide the same fun factor. MW1, TF2, L4D2, Battle field 2, CS just to name afew.

I got about a 1000hours on TF2 so far, 19usd game released in 2007, gets updates from Valve every other month. Its a different game then when it was released. Along with Community support and mods.

I skipped WaW and MW2 but I am buying black ops. The reason for that is because of the return of dedicated servers and mod support. But I don't plan to pay for any DLC. Even if the game is somewhat shitty, mods will make it better. And while I hate Activision, I want to send a message saying I will support your PC games when you properly support them. Lets just hope they hear that message.

You are right though, there are much better supported games, but I am tired of the ones you listed.

@edit

Most of the time sp dlc arent missing part of a story only extra . hell even in assassin creed 2 , the part missing , while it should never have been cut in the first place , wasnt even related to the main plot , important , nor any good .
