    The Xbox got the map pack and half of these updates months ago, and guess what? The map pack on PC doesn't even work! They had 2 extra months to get the maps working on PC, and they failed miserably. You can't use the new maps in a private match or combat training, nor can you join a server with a new map. It just gives some "your map is different form the server's map" error. Thanks a lot Treyarch + Activision!

      Honestly, this company is going to become a joke, if they haven't already, unless they change their ways.

      For a while there, they were just releasing the same thing over and over, and now they're not. No, now it seems they're releasing increasingly broken versions of the same thing.

      It's nice that they're trying to change things up, but that's not the right way to go about it...

      I like the new maps a lot though. At least it seems they did a good job on those.

    I can't believe people actually buy this.
