Call of Duty WaW DLC - Over 1 Million Downloads

GamersDigest writes;

"Armies of Call of Duty fans have heeded the call and responded with more than one million downloads of the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 from Activision Publishing, Inc. and developer Treyarch, during its first weekend of availability (March 19-22) on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network."

Ass***** didnt bring it to wii. They could have at least put in some decent game modes.

[doctorstrange]

so perhaps the dlc will come out

[chasegarcia]

That is a lot of loyal fans

[dragunrising]

I am disappointed its not more. If more than 8 million people bought the game on PS3 and 360, the game should have much more than 1 million downloads. There is a good but short article on Joystiq.com regarding DLC. In general there is a stigma that alienates people from buying it as they think it should be included for free.

Yes but take in consideration some do not play online. Ex. Halo 3 supposely sold 8 million copies but the most i have seen online at once was 300-400k people playing. Not even 1/8 of the purchase. Maybe towards it launch there was more but most people play it for single player or LAN, not everyone has LIVE or Broadban for PSN, a few of my friends dont.

[NIGHT_HAWK3210]

300-400k no other online game even comes close to that. (on consoles)

[shelbygt33]

I bought the CoD4 maps, but I played that game more than any other game ever on this generation. Outside of that, I do feel like some of these things should have been included on the original disc, especially if the DLC is released very quickly after launch. But on the flipside, my pocketbook doesn't let me buy all the DLC I'd like to have. If you add it all up, it's like spending 70+ bucks on a single game... yikes!

[SL1M DADDY]

If it were not for that mode I would have dropped that game off in trade already. That new zombie level is absolutely sick.

[Anon1974]

I loved the old zombie level and I was certainly wanting more. I didn't read about this update previous to it's release so I was pleasantly surprised by the new zombie level. Good stuff!

[Slinger420]

Good for Treyarch. Everyone was hating on them before this game came out, myself included. Here they are showing great support for the game they made with good quality DLC. Great Job Treyarch, keep the zombie and multiplayer maps coming!!

[Anon1974]

Who wants more WWII? Oh, what on earth are they thinking! No one will ever buy this game! Biggest mistake ever!

I have to admit, after COD3, which I just thought was OK, I didn't even know if I'd pick this one up. I'm glad I did.

Edit: Speak of the devil! There's one now! TwistedMetal right beneath us. Sorry, dude. COD-WAW is a good game. You're firmly in the minority with that opinion.

[yz250]

dunno why slinger has only a couple of bubbles. here's one

darkride- dude you do the same thing everyday. you come into threads concerning microsoft and or 360 and go off-topic to bash them. sorry dude i call em' like i see em'

[Anon1974]

There's no 360 bashing going on here. Earlier on I wondered how well the DLC for the Lost and the Damned was doing. We're talking DLC here so that's hardly off topic. Treyarch is releasing their DLC numbers, why isn't Take Two?
Now sure, if there was an article about "Why isn't Take Two releasing L&D numbers?" it would be more appropriate there, but there isn't. This article made me curious about the contrast.

If you want to somehow make this about the 360, knock yourself out. Personally, I find it a little suspicious that that Treyarch has no problem releasing this info yet Take Two isn't saying anything - and that was a high profile release. If it was doing as well as they had hoped, wouldn't you think they'd be praising it with actual numbers?

I swear to god, some people check under their beds at night because of the "Sony Fanboy" menace. All I see is gamers talking about their hobby.

[yz250]

i could say the same thing for killzone 2 numbers....why won't sony release those? fact is this is about cod waw dlc sells not gta 4's. but i can assure you the numbers for that dlc are prolly quite good.

as far as a sony fanboy under my bed...umm no. you act like i'm the only one that has pointed out how you "act" on here, and that is simply not true. me and a few others have called out your comments before.

fact is this thread has nothing to do with gta, but rather it has to do with cod dlc sells, so yes you we're off-topic. you we're just scheming and insuating that microsoft's numbers are BS. hope you and the others really don't think that only micosoft "pad" their numbers...if so you guys have no idea.

anyways have a good one

[Anon1974]

On the contrary, I think Microsoft and the publishers themselves are the only authority you should consider the final word on sales data. I've stated that before.

And you're right. You're not the first person to call out my comments and try to label me a Sony Fanboy. Sometimes I'm labeled a 360 fanboy as well but the only consistent thing is those doing the labeling never bother addressing issues I've raised. I then answer back, backing up my views or further illustrating my points and no one bothers to offer a counter argument. It's usually pretty one sided.

I've already addressed your comment about this being off topic above. You've ignored that. We're talking about DLC here in an article about DLC. Treyarch released info on their DLC despite it not even being a month yet. Take Two has refused to do so. Seems a little odd to me.

As for Sony not releasing Killzone 2 sales thus far- when has Sony ever released sales stats on a single game a month in, or even a year in? The PR guys usually comment on things like NPD sales - but you never see Sony release individual sales numbers for software.
Microsoft likes to do this all the time. It's part of their whole PR shtick to crow about sales numbers which is why it's very telling to me that MS is not providing numbers regarding the Lost and the Damned.

I could be off base on this and if I am I'll happily admit I was wrong but I just suspect that L&D isn't doing as well as they had predicted and Treyarch releasing download info on their DLC less then a month in is in sharp contrast to what we're seeing from Take Two.

[TwistedMetal]

I wonder how many people will have 5 differet cod/WW2 games with basicslly the same gameplay this gen. its getting kind of rediculous that people buy the same fps over again and again. I heard COD 1 will be on psn/xbl and people gonna buy that too.

[SL1M DADDY]

I along with well over 1 million people would disagree. Sorry, but your opinion is respected but not admired. I say the game has it's high points while as with others it has it's bad sides too. The online play is solid and works very well and the zombie mode is fun for many of us. If you don't like it, don't play it.

[PainisCupcake]

So they're gonna port a PC game to PSN and Live?

[Eldon3]

I had highly anticipated this game, but the multiplayer just isn't what I expected. I quit playing the game after 2 weeks, so... no I wont ever download the maps. I honestly think Treyarch did a far better job with 007 Quantum of Solace multiplayer. (they took the cod4 engine and tweaked it for a 3rd person cover system and the ability to pick ANY 2 perks together, among other changes) It all works better than WAW, but was overlooked and underrated. Shame.

Edit- I forgot to mention the new Bond versus, and Bond evasion gametypes which are a blast!

[NegativeCreep427]

High notes were the fact that Jack Bauer himself fought alone side you in the SP campaign and the Dog Attacks in MP were alot more efficient at killing enemies than the Choppa! in COD 4.

But really, Where is my Killzone 2 DLC already???

[Irish-Republican]

how many are orginal downloads, cause i give it out to 4 of my friends so how many others did that

the zombie map is sick!!!

[IaMs12]

Personally i do not like this game that much. Its i dunno, i guess the Pacific battle area that i dont like. I personally did not like games set on the Japanese front of the war. When i hear WWII i think of D-Day and Germany and Nazis at first, then comes Pearl Harbor and Iwo Jima. I dunno i dont like it, not after COD4, it doesnt live up to it.

[DrJones]

It's important to show other parts of WW2 other than D day over and over and over and over again.
So I think it's a good thing we get to visit the pacific front and deal with the fanatic Japanese, and learn more of what all that was about.

[Corepred4]

blows anyway... i don't even know how it got THAT many downloads!

[DrJones]

I think your opinion blows.
How is that one for a change? Muahahaha ha hahahaha haaa

[rimbreaker]

@iams12, when halo wasnt so damn old i saw numerous occasions with over a million people playing worldwide

[Andor_Trask]

this game rocks and the music is freakin' sweet in this game. I only hate veteran mode...they all have a personal 'you' radar and 100% accuracy >_<

[xXKingofStingXx]

I just started playing this game and i dunno if it's the setting or more of the same from COD4 but i was tired of it by the 2nd hour of play and was wishing i were playing KZ2 instead. In all fairness though it looks like a decent game but as i said it just feels like more of the same after countless hours of COD4. Nazi Zombie mode however is the sh*t! It's the whole reason i bought the game after playing it at my buddy's place.

[Mcrmarcher]

Tell me about it, they have 100% accuracy with bullets and grenades, hell I don't even see the point of them having guns, all they use is fcking grenades. Not to mention your team mates turn into a bunch of dribbling retards, fat lot a help they are../rant over =P

[Mcrmarcher]

'But really, Where is my Killzone 2 DLC already'

Totally want this, hopefully they release more weapons and maps, I wouldn't mind having a go with the bolt gun in MP that be sweet.

[SprayandPreycom]

every single time cod 2 was better you could choose your side...

[kornbeaner]

But then you would have uneven teams during ranked matches.

[DirtyLary]

The map Knee Deep was worth the price alone.

Well thought out layout.

[OneShotThrill]

then why does it matter what time period the game is set in? COD always brought solid shooting from day 1. Thats why people bought the game and thats why people will buy COD 1 from XBL and PSN
