Quick Quotes: Treyarch has nothing to do with map pack pricing

4.1
“You know, we’re on the development side, so we don’t really have much to do with the business aspect of it, but we just strive to give players the most value that we can possibly give. If you look at how many hours – in some cases, hundreds of hours – for some players of entertainment they get, I think it’s an incredible value. We’ve had three DLC map packs for the fans within about six to seven months of launch, which is a record for us. I think it’s incredible, and everyone’s really excited about the fact that we can support a game for that long and keep the fans interested.” – Black Ops multiplayer lead Dan Bunting to Gama on why map packs run 1200 MSP each.

Groovy I'm sure activision havent caused this, cod 4 was it's starter at 800msp, waw then moved it to 1200msp which is developed by treyarch!


No, all the WaW map packs were 800 MSP each. MW2 was the first CoD to charge 1200 MSP per map pack. So get off Treyarch's nuts.


Ahh well, treyarch can still do one, both there games have sucked and cod4 and mw2 are still favourites.

They're good for zombies, that's is.

Mw3 will easily be record sales as all forthcoming cod games will be after that.


You must smoke that bad shit if you think MW2 is good...

Okay who cares how much the map pack costs?
It takes 3 months for it to come out, most people should have 15$ by then. You can't be that poor

And almost a lot of people who play Cod: Black ops are 12 year olds, there mother buys it for them.

xSTaTiCBLuEx Reasonably priced my arse! In Battlefield Bad Company 2 you can buy a whle new massive section of he game for like 4.50 Which im saying is around 500 MSP.

I like COD and Battlefield, but DICE are making less sales even though still many, and they are even then putting their map packs out at a reasonable price. Thank god we at least have a few 'fair' developers and publishers in the world =D

Bad game cheap dlc nuff said


You must be on something

EChondo All of the companies have a say in the pricing -_- Treyarch can CLAIM that they have nothing to do with the pricing but that's a lie and we all know it.

If the map packs were 800 points then I would gladly buy them but I don't have $20 to put down on the table every other month just because some company wants to get greedy.

This is why we have modders, hackers, and thieves in this world.


Have you seen how Activision is? they are like dicatorships. 3ARC didn't wanna put out the last DLC so quickly. It was the best one yet by far but they didn't wanna. They have no say in the price
