Did Infinity Ward Ship DLC with Modern Warfare 2?

Well over the last couple of days the PC guys have been finding all kinds of hidden code in the Modern Warfare 2 game. New gametypes mainly. There are three found so far, VIP, Global Thermonuclear War ( where one side must capture a nuke see vid below) Capture the Flag ( Single Flag, Two Teams).
Is it safe to assume that the public will unlock these new game types after a small payment is made to IW... Thoughts?

Thats sad if true. Their going to charge console gamers for this to no doubt. Its just a matter of pricing. I'm not buying it.

D4RkNIKON5270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

I agree, after paying $60 for a COD4 expansion with little added.. A 4-5 hour campaign and features included on the disk that you have to pay more for to access? NO THANKS

AnttiApina5270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

It's not a rumour... IT'S TRUE! I checked the files myself... There certainly are hidden gametypes... Why are they on the disc? I don't know

saint_john_paul_ii5270d ago

you would know the DLC is built in if the download for the DLC is less than 1.0mb.

StanLee5270d ago

Gametypes aren't DLC, they're probably playlists that will be updated in the future. Nice rants by some of you by the way.

Guido5270d ago

So now that Infinity Ward decides to do it it's just that much worse? It's been bad for the past few years and no matter who does it, it's still bad.

IdleLeeSiuLung5270d ago

Seeing traces of code that is disabled is NOT uncommon. Besides, MW2 is a very complete package so you have the choice to buy it or ignore it. So why complain?

I don't know why, but this generation has been all about ranting about how all these companies are exploiting us. Yet, this is exactly how it has been for ages. The difference, previously it was a buyers market and now it is a sellers market!

Companies first and foremost responsibility is to their shareholders. Customers are unfortunately a close second, but everything a company does is for the benefit of the company not charity.

Nihilism5270d ago

I don't care what platform you play on, if you buy this DLC, you are screwing yourself over, more people with get away with it as it becomes accepted. But the even sadder truth is that a lot of DLC is already ready at launch as well..they were just smart enough to not put it on the disk. I have no doubt the Dragon Age DLC was ready before they went gold. It was short, weak, and they already added the NPC dialogue option to buy it, to me that reeks of a scam.

Fallout 3 DLC was the only DLC where i'm sure they worked on it post game. They were all massive, even the first one added a solid 3 hours on as well as some extra goodies, I'm going to buy the GOTY just so I have them all on disk

Only IW can get away with crap like this. They put something on the disc and make you pay more just to access it? Pathetic.

SuperStrokey11235270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

umm, you ever heard of capcom?

Either way the process of selling us DLC on the disk and then making us pay to unlock it is rediculious. Its like a car dealership selling us a car and then not giving us the key to the trunk, even though we know its there and we have already paid for it. Then later, at a time of THEIR choosing, they offer us the key to unlock the trunk in the vehicle we already paid for.

Its bs 100%

DruePhoenix5270d ago

you apparently don't read many articles on n4g

Ace Killa 085270d ago

the sad part is atm 6 ppl agree with this guy and they obviously never heard of capcom or Resident Evil 5

NateNater5270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

Yes I read a lot of articles on N4G. I don't remember all of them. I didn't know capcom had done something similar to this. I've never played or really cared too much for the Resident Evil games. Excuse me for not being up to date with some things.

ambientFLIER5270d ago

Nobody is making you pay anything for it, idiot. It's a rumor so far, and most likely not going to happen. But morons like you fall for it and cry a river on the internets...

NateNater5270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

Wow. What the hell crawled up you're a$$ ambient? As if you have the right to judge me? Back the fack off man. I didn't do sh!t to you. I'm entitled to my opinion. And how much do you want to bet it is going to happen? Heres some more info on it.

SuperStrokey11235270d ago

Capcom did this already. I'm sure many other companies did the same.

St05270d ago

Yep, EA included.

I hate it when game company's screw their customers over, they don't even care about us, all they want is mega bux

LeonSKennedy4Life5270d ago

IT'S A COMPANY!!!

Do you think McDonald's give a rat's arse whether you guys eat healthy or not? NO! They added salads and got rid of the super size so they would get more money.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G259d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood259d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G259d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade258d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty259d ago (Edited 259d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality258d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator257d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G258d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85259d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai259d ago (Edited 259d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G259d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo259d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg259d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast258d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
