MW2: Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package Release Time
March 30, 2010 by Naomi Larkin · 138 Comments
This latest Call of Duty Map Pack is one of the latest and most awaited map pack for Modern Warfare 2 gamers this month. The Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package is scheduled to be released on March 30, 2010.
As we all know, the Stimulus Package consists of 5 Map Packs and it costs $15.00 USD.
If you don’t have an idea what are the new maps in the Stimulus Package, they are Bailout, Salvage, and Storm. So what are these maps? Bailout is a wide map set in an overrun apartment complex with long sight lines, this map is perfect for snipers. Salvage is a small snowy map in a junkyard. And last but not the least Storm, Storm is a map of abandoned warehouses in the midst of a thunderstorm.
There are 5 maps isn’t it? Here’s two more: Crash and Overgrown. These maps are from COD4 and they are just revived because it’s one of the best and most favorite maps of all time. Crash is an urban map with a downed helicopter, while Overgrown is a wide open map suitable for snipers.
There’s no official announcement yet of the release time, but we think that the release time will be at exactly 12:00 AM EST on March 30, 2010.
UPDATE 2:26 AM EST: Based on our inside sources from Infinity Ward, the release time will be no later than 7:00 PM EST 03/30/2010. Let’s just sleep now and wake up later tonight to download the package, ok?
Here’s the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package Trailer from YouTube:
We’ll be posting more updates about this cool MW2 Package.
still no maps 9:00am in the morning wtf happened
I love how IW just turns the blind eye to all this boosting. Now every single Call-sign, Emblem, Camo and Prestige Symbol are completely pointless, because if you have Fall Camo I immediately assume you’ve cheated to get it. I feel sorry for the people who went through all the trouble to come up with these acheivements just so some virgin can ruin it. Listen here little Billy Booster, don’t wreck my fun cause some bully beat you up and stole your lunch money.
I feel like I’ve been waiting in line for days in the cold and rain for something and then got told sorry our truck didn’t come in but we’ll have it tomorrow. It’s 4:15 EST and still no maps. Glad I got online though, thanks for the info Naomi.
I still need 5 stars in the special ops. If you need someone to help you with yours or have them all and can/will help me get the rest send me a friend request and put spec ops in the message. Gamertag: myfateisparadis
JESUS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurrrrry microsoft. I saw another link that said it’s being released around 5am Pst but i don’t know if that’s true. I better not fall asleep waiting. Grab another monster, some eyedrops, and keep waiting -__-
4:21 am EST, still not out
Captains log, 4:20pm – Still no freakin map packs…i will consume one baby every 30min goes by withoutit being updated…beat that jeff dahmer..oh wait, yer dead and cant enjoy the glory of cod!
Well its 9.25am here in the UK and still nothing. Patience is a virtue, tho i will be extremely pissed if its released at like 5:00pm or sum turd like that. See you on the battlefeild.
yea buddy Super Sick!!!!!
4:30 AM EST!!! come on infinity ward!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?!?!?
4:30 AM…no map pack…
i am so not amused
Well it’s 4:30 no sign here in Virginia still waiting for it any one has them tell me spoon my name is c3po1 on xbox message me and I will invite u to my waiting party if u have info
Waited up for nothing. sucks that you post 12:00 am and disapoint everyone that stayed up waiting.:{
it should be in the next 30 mins
Well it is officially 0430 EST. I have been waiting very impatiently to get a head start on others. I have yet to see the Stimulus Package Map Pack for Modern Warfare 2 post to Xbox Live. I am very disappointed in the timing for the release. If Infinity Ward tells the clientele that the Map Pack will be released on the 30th of March, I expect it to be released at midnight. Again very disappointed.
DUDE!!! theres akready like a preview game type!! the gay part is the game wont start haha but the maps are there
still no map pack its 3:35 central time. i was playing and went to dashboard to check and went back to game and it told me the host had an updated playlist and i would have to restart my game to get the updated playlist so hopefully this means it will be coming soon
Is it true that there are some new titles aswell?
As of 4:36am EST, still no Map Pack
Wow, my day off and I need to wait until 7pm Eastern??! Damn.
scotty55 is my gamertag if ne 1 wants to add me and play the new maps when they come out
Just a tip for those of you staying awake to purchase the map pack. Xbox.com tends to update it’s marketplace faster than the marketplace in the console itself. So sit back, relax, and mash F5.
Im getting pissed i want them damn maps!
This is bull shit. Infinity Ward dropped the ball yet again. If you going to tell everyone one who is playing the game of the year, A release date. They expect it to be released when told. So all this hype about the 30th was for nothing. We have to wait till a specific time now before it is released? IT’S THE 30TH AND STILL NO F’N MAP PACK. ILL MAKE SURE TO TELL MY ELECTRIC COMPANY I WILL PAY MY BILL AFTER CLOSING HOURS AT THEIR BUISSNESS. GOOOD DAY
Wht about Hawaii x zone…
XBOX’s tweets suggested that the release time of the map packs will be around 5am EST, so about now… I can’t confirm this myself I was just told this from an different source.
omg… its 1:53 pacific still no maps! i bet IW is still up…
If you guys just read it, it says 7:00 p.m. EST!!!
for all those in cali/arizona/nevada area (im mentioning this cause its where i live), that’s 5:00 in the afternoon! why are you all still awake waiting for the maps? you got 15 hours to wait!
They should bring back the old starter bolt-action sniper from cod 4! kinda unfair that theres one bolt-action to 3 semi-auto’s
1:55am PST(4:55am EST) And no map pack… And by the update at the top, It will probably be released at 4:00pm PST when I’m at work… Stupid Infinity Ward…
hurry up and release the maps so i can stop looking up discussion pages of when it will be released!!! ur killing me infinity ward!!!
WTF I’ve been waitin all day for these maps to come out from 7am aussie time and it is now 8pm and it’s still not here.what’s goin on.
These maps will be #1! But I want them now.
this is getting silly, its after 4am Central time and no maps.. this is officially the 30th of march.. someone needs to let xbox and IW know… IW.. if 4 million people waited in line to buy your game at midnight.. there are at least 2 million waiting in line for the map pack… do you want to make money? then release the content that is apparently already on the discs we own.. meaning you finished content and didn’t grant it to players with the release… greedy.. work on new maps.. especially for 15 bucks.. but im buying them anyway so i guess you win.. i got pwned.
5am EST still not released. wtfff
I’m not getting this map pack…..and i like mw2 alot…. well why are you here you ask??? well i am google’n this map pack and seeing what ppl have to say… this was near the top of google search…..
my opinion is its an absolute waste of money…. 15$ for 3 maps… are you kiding me… thats about 1/3 the total cost of the entire game… WTF…. yes I know there are 5 maps but 2 of them are md1 maps just ported over….. i say those dnt count cuz they can easily do that for little money anytime….
this horrid price of 15$ was set by activision or w/e… not by IW….. basicly since mw2 is sooo popular and so many ppl play iy… they hope to “RAKE IN” the money with this new map pack….
this price is unheard of in HISTORY…… others would sell 10$ or less max…..
many other games like Battlefield 2 release new maps for FREE… they just releases 2 new maps FREE…….
i would suggest you save your money and not pay this outrageous prices for this bull5hit… dnt get me wrong… i like mw2… but this is simply wrong
move to new better games like battlefield 2…. once you play bf2 you will never wanna play mw2 again lol
4:11am and still no sign of Stimulus Package.
Everywhere I’ve looked it says the marketplace updates at 5 am EST and its 5:09 now. I would say expect it within the hour
BREAKING NEWS;
Are you tired of seeing no map packs
Are you tired of stayings up all night for nothing
Are you tired ov being a low level prestige
Now for only over 9000MPs you can get a BLOWJOB
4:12am still no sign of Stimulus Package

No but in all seriousness

HAVE FUN
ok whatecer im going to bed forget waiting for it it’s not that important. peace.
1:20 Am Alaska Time (one hour behind PST) and still no sign of the Stimulus package.
Its 4:20 central time no map packs for me. But in the playlists it says there are like 3000 people playin it. So i dont know what is up with that!!!
It will be out by 8am EST.
Its gone beyond a joke it’s 10:20 in ireland and still nothing im bored and i want new maps!!! fucking hell come on now microsoft
Ok for all of you freaking out because you have been up all night waiting, thats your fault for not looking it up in the first place. The XBOX LIVE MARKETPLACE updates at aprox 5 am EST. Its always been that way. This is not the fault of IW nor microsoft because its always been this way with pass releases and its not going to change for just this one.
Second of all, to those complaining about the price. Its $15 … thats maybe an hours work. Its for 5 maps, not just 3 and hell even if it was just 3 id probably pay the price, because its not much at all. And to the person who said BFBC2 is coming out with 2 free maps…thats because it launched with like 3. MW2 I believe has close to 15 or more.
So just quit complaining and wait. If you didn’t want it you wouldn’t be waiting for it.
5:30AM EST no sign of the maps fuckin idiots..
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE MAPS WTF!!!!
