Infinity Ward is releasing a new map pack later this month entitled ‘Stimulus Package’ – a nice poke at the current government economy bailouts. Featured are three totally new maps and two recreations from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. As much grief as other people and I give Modern Warfare 2, the game is still quite good. There are issues with the pre-game lobby interface and a few connectivity issues, but for the most part, they made a great game.

The only downside to this is that I’m pretty sure the maps will only come up in matchmaking if everyone in your party has the map pack as well, just the way it worked in Call of Duty 4. I guess I can just hope my friends pick it up so we can dominate some more on Crash and Overgrown.
