My reaction is

During its Q1 financial conference call, publisher Activision announced that the ‘Stimulus’ DLC for its popular shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sold 17 million units – a figure which does not include the sales of the PS3 version! Holy snakes!

And to no ones surprise, Activision also announced that they will be keeping the DLC rolling with a second map pack planned for release sometime in the second half of 2010.

“With respect to the Call of Duty franchise,” said Thomas Tippl, CFO, “we plan to release the second Map Pack for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, which is currently in development at Infinity Ward.”

He also suggested that the second DLC pack will too carry the same $15 price tag (you don’t say!).

“With regard to the Map Pack, I think they’ve been selling incredibly well. As you know, we’ve expanded the number of maps that we are providing as part of that release. And therefore, the $15 price point has still provided a fantastic value to gamers and is also evidenced by the billions of hours that people are playing the game online. So we think that has worked.”

I like cake. I also like to play games and write/rant about them. Coincidence? I think not.
