The "new" map packs

Well to more of the point...Am I the only person that feels it was/is cheep of Treyarch to remake all this dlc? Its the same map we all payed for, just some new paint. Also(this is just me not trying to offend) seems like Zombies has taken the main stage..Fix MP before the all the zombies

Oh, I thought you were venting about Map Pack 4 "Apocalypse". It's all new content.

It drops on August 27 for Xbox.

Ya I must say I'm very disappointed with another map remake. I have no problem with the remakes coming out, but then there needs to be more in the dlc. Cod had better impress me on the 14th with the MP reveal or I may be taking a break from the series.

I just wish the "re-makes" were are freebie on top of new maps, it was cool with the first one but i think they gave up and just said "fuck it! i'm outta ideas".

Should've known from the get go with the whole "pre-order and get 2025 nuketown exclusively"
what a load of CODSHIT!

But all in all, nearly all the "new" maps have been ok in my book.

Standout new map = RUSH.
Original map favorite = STANDOFF.

Lol CODSHIT

I didnt even buy it. I actually havent logged into BO2 in over a month. just tired of the lag honestly.

I'm all for bringing back old maps, adding new twists to them, it brings back old times...
but I'm for map packs bringing new weapons as well as new maps...
if they threw in a new weapon or a new tactical that would mix things up a lot.

I agree with NYVandel... At ~$15 per map pack, if you download all of them (and didn't buy season pass), you have paid more for the DLC than the original game - more so if you've added any of the camo packs. The profit margin on the map pack has to be much better than the game itself (especially since they are re-skinning old maps) so it's a cash cow for Treyarch. Don't get me wrong - I don't begrudge them their profit but do something original and improve the overall game experience.

if they gonna do more remakes, then i agree, we already paid for them in the past..why spend more money?..even if its a different COD. Still, i am looking forward to the new stuff in Aug; whats the release date for PS3?
the zombies Origins looks BADASS though, even though i am slowly getting into the zombie stuff now.

This is precisely why I am struggling to make the decision to drop $50 and buy a season pass (it would be cheaper than buying all the DLC seperately) at this point in time.

May just play with original maps and then get all the DLC and what not for Ghosts.

I didn't get season pass, and buy the DLC separately and I'm not happy about the rest skinned maps at all. Well, Studio was okay but redoing "Downhill" sucked. I couldn't afford the season pass as it's easier to come up with $15 than $50 but I'm paying for it now... Fuck you Treyarc

I bought the first two DLC for xbox and have the pass for PS3.

I don't feel the DLC is ever a good value. If I were spending 90% of my gaming time playing CoD then'd I'd feel differently, maybe. Even when they were giving all new maps in dlc I felt it was pricey for what you get. Esp when you consider the last drop for DLC will be just weeks from the Ghosts release.

I uninstalled the DLC for the original BO because for every good map there was a map I wanted to avoid at all costs. Easiest to just uninstall all of them so I don't get crap DLC in the rotations.

I thought the first two drops for BO2 were fine. The third was ok. Two remakes in the fourth is not ok imo. The good news really has been that there are no just awful maps in the DLC so far. They might be bland or a remake but at least they aren't something everybody hates like has been found in past CoD DLC packages.

4 maps most people like or 4 map like every cod most people bitch are shit and not worth the money !
And a lot of people buy teri and love it just for the zombies !

I like getting new maps, regardless if they are re-skinned or not. Anything before the original Black Ops, is new to me. Less then 4 bucks a map is nothing, shit, there are people paying 2 bucks for camo. That is one thing that is bullshit, this opens the door for every other game to do mirco transactions.

I get bored with the maps, and the new variety is nice. New guns/equipment would be cool, we got spooled with the peacekeeper.

Activision has stated that there was no way for them to include additional guns because of some limitations in adding them and, I believe, their engine. I think that Woody commented about why and the fact that it should be more feasible for them on the new consoles so we can only hope that it's something that they do going forward.

I'm still on the fence about getting Ghosts. Knowing how many people are playing it and what Activision shows here in a couple of days will make my decision easier.

Didn't buy BO1...so I'm digging all the maps, but understand why some feel robbed. I've actually enjoyed this addition to the COD line-up the most...still this may be it for me if DESTINY is as good as it looks.
