Modern Warfare Remastered Map Pack Has Fans Outraged
Today, Activision announced the new Variety Map Pack is heading to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. The map pack arrives first on PlayStation 4 on March 21st, and will include four maps along with 10 Rare Supply Drops. Sounds great but this has sent fans in a rage.
Why is everyone up in arms? The new map pack was also DLC for the original game and is going to be a paid DLC once again. Many are furious Activision chose to make it a paid DLC again rather than a free DLC like some other developers do for remastered titles. Also, the DLC will cost more than it did when it released 9 years ago. The price for the map pack back in 2008 was $10 but it will now $14.99. Not surprising, fans are pissed because they expect it for free.
One look at comments in the video below, and you can feel the rage:
The pack features classic maps that have been remastered across a range of different environments:
- Broadcast: Based on the TV station from the campaign mission “Charlie Don’t Surf”, this map provides a unique blend of confined corridors and wide-open spaces. Outside the station, the parking lot contains long sightlines, but once inside, cramped hallways and a computer-cluttered broadcast room provide ample close-range combat opportunities.
- Chinatown: Set in a foggy downtown district, this nighttime map is lit up by flickering neon signs and a full moon. A re-imagining of the original Call of Duty multiplayer map “Carentan”, players will need to be careful on these streets, as almost every building in the map can be occupied, providing perfect cover for enemies waiting for a chance to line you up in their sights.
- Creek: Set in a wide-open village ravaged by combat where concealment is the difference between life and death, a gaping ravine divides this map into two. Open clearings with sheer cliff faces and ample forested cover make this map ideal for snipers and long-range firefights.
- Killhouse: A small training warehouse filled with various building mock ups that feature soft and hard cover points. Expect fast-paced and fierce firefights for maximum close-quarters chaos.
