Modern Warfare 2 (MW2): Stimulus Package not working?
I was only joking when I thought there would be problems with the Stimulus Package for MW2 soon after release. We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears as if the Map Pack is unplayable for all Xbox
As Nowgamer points out, the download is now available, but players are not able to play the new maps either public or private. From what we gather, this is due to a separate title update to the game, which is meant to sync everything up correctly. All is explained in detail at Robert Bowling’s blog here.
As you probably realise, the Stimulus Package download is now available on the Marketplace, but the in-game patch is not, meaning that you’ll still have to wait to play – even if you have downloaded the content already.
Hopefully it won’t be too long before everything is running smoothly. Don’t do anything drastic for the time being, deep breaths everyone.
We’ll update you when its all sorted.
Update: It’s still unplayable. Nelson’s just said we’re going to get an update in the next 30 minutes.
Original: Mapathy is over: Activision’s released the Stimulus Package, Modern Warfare 2 first PDLC. No one can play it yet, but still.
The download comes in at just under 330Mb and will set you back 1,200 MS points.
The Stimulus DLC includes five new maps: Bailout, Salvage, Storm, and classic maps Crash and Overgrown.
Last time we checked, it wasn’t on the Online Marketplace but it is on the actual console Marketplace. It seems people are having troubles with it so far, though.
Various reports are claiming no one can access the content, thanks to the fact that a promised title update hasn’t yet been released.
Nelson’s just tweeted Microsoft is “pushing it out” right now, so you won’t have long to wait, hopefully.
Get the skinny on the release here.
To also celebrate its launch, Microsoft’s sent us a 250Gb 360 Super Elite MW2 bundle. Get the lowdown on that here.
