Ok its here, the first DLC for MW2 went live early this morning on Xbox Live. No clues as to how many have dropped their $15 as of yet, but my guess is that this will end up breaking some kind of record. While there are certainly some who won't justify the purchase for some reason, I can't imagine this thing tanking. It will be bought in mass and IW and Activision will be laughing all the way to the bank. My money just might be part of their deposit! I haven't decided yet.
To my surprise, IW has managed to sneak in a patch during this release that ALL users will get today. The patch includes the following:
Support for the DLC (if you choose to purchase it)
Some tweaks to the One Man Army perk
Some matchmaking updates that will help international users find more locally hosted games thanks to how ping is now sorted,
Various other code updates that will help improve the overall quality of multiplayer on Modern Warfare 2.
Another bonus for all is the Double XP weekend which IW decided to throw the switch on today. This means that when you are online you get Double XP for all of your exploits during matches. In a sense, you are getting boosted until next Monday.
**(Latest) UPDATE** Microsoft is still working on the issues with the map pack but apparently there is a large amount of people who are now up and working. It's not 100% fixed but they are close. They did confirm that the patch is now available.
**UPDATE** Launch issues with Stimulus Pack - Some boneheads over at Microsoft released the map pack before the patch. The patch is REQUIRED in order for the map pack DLC to work properly. Major Nelson confirms problems, no updates yet.
Have fun peeps! (source - fourzerotwo)
