Think that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the bee’s knees? Well, you will be pleased to note that more shooting action is coming your way, thanks to a new multiplayer map pack that can be downloaded from Xbox LIVE regardless of where you stay worldwide. Released by Activision Publishing, Inc., Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package will throw in another five adrenaline-pumping multiplayer arenas to further make the best-selling title ever on the Xbox 360 all the more appealing, and this could see a second wave of purchases of the game itself as word spreads to other non-gamers.

The Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package can now be downloaded on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system for 1,200 Microsoft Points. To celebrate its release, Infinity Ward will host a Double XP weekend for Xbox LIVE gamers from April 2 – 4.

According to Robert Bowling, Creative Strategist, Infinity Ward, “Thanks to our community and fans around the world for their continuous feedback and dedication to Modern Warfare 2. The Stimulus Package introduces several all-new locations to the multiplayer, as well as a few of our favorite classics from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare® that can now be experienced in a completely unique new way thanks to the additional perks and gametypes Modern Warfare 2 has to offer. As a whole, this DLC package has something for everyone, so we’re excited to see all the new gameplay tactics this brings on Xbox LIVE!”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package has been slapped with an “M” (Mature) rating by the ESRB for Blood, Drug Reference, Intense Violence and Language. Guess little Johnny will have to settle for something else this coming summer, eh? Do bear in mind that some reports of bugs concerning connectivity issues have come through since the map pack’s release, but according to Microsoft, they have fixed all of those and everything is peachy now.
