The much awaited for Stimulus Map pack is broken! Read our article to see our reactions, what the actual problem is, and what Infinity Ward is doing about it.

I knew I should have expected the worst instead of getting my hopes up about the new Stimulus Map Pack, it is Modern Warfare 2 afterall… Here’s the story – I rush home from work, excitedly boot the 360 up, buy some more Microsoft Points followed swiftly by the Stimulus Pack, painfully wait for the 360MB file to download, load the game, playlists, click Stimulus pack. The game countdown begins, sweat now running down my face as the 6+ month wait for new maps is finally over. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Launching… Only to find the a minute countdown starts again! At first I thought it was just an error, one of many seen in the Modern Warfare 2 universe, so I tried again and to my frustration, the exact situation occurred again. The fact that there were hundreds of 10 year olds complaining about the same problem confirmed it wasn’t just my Xbox messing up. You can’t even get a feel for the maps in a private match.. Poor show Infinity Ward; there are some seriously pissed off people on Xbox Live at the moment.

    That pic is hilarious! I'm so glad I traded MW2 for BF:BC2. So much better in my opinion.

      They barely messed up in anything. It's just that people like to be overdramatic or childish when things just don't go their way.

    PS3 version of MW2, EVERY SINGLE PATCH for MW2, and now the game pack.

    How do you fail on a map back that bad? I'm literally shocked that they could offer this DLC to millions of people without doing more than 30 minutes of testing, apparently.

    It's not really IW's fault that MICROSOFT released the content before they uploaded the patch needed to play it

      Let's all just point and laugh at 360 owners like fanboys hyped up on sugar and call it a day. Failure is the angle of life, live with it. It will all be fixed soon enough - remember, patience is a virtue.

      I speak the truths.

    I don't know about you guys, but I've been having a blast playing the new maps all day. No problems at all + double XP for seven days = I'm sure glad to be a 360 owner.

      One of the very lucky few I'd imagine.
