Stimulus Package

Stimulus Package is the first downloadable map pack released for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on March 30th for Xbox 360. It is available for the Xbox 360 thirty days earlier than for other systems. The downloadable content includes five maps. Two maps make a return from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare: Crash and Overgrown. The map pack was released for the Xbox 360 for 1200 Microsoft Points, or $14.99US, on March 30, 2010 and will be released for the PS3 and PC on April 29, 2010.

A site was launched to promote the map pack, called mapathy.com. The website stated that the "cure" for "mapathy", defined as a state of indifference to the same old maps one has been playing for the last several months, was coming to Xbox Live on March 30th.

Despite rumors of the inclusion of other new content such as Special Ops missions, Challenges, Callsigns, Perks, and weapons, Infinity Ward Creative Strategist Robert Bowling denied those rumors and they do not appear once downloaded. There will be a Stimulus playlist which allows you to play every game type on the new maps. There also is a Stimulus Hardcore playlist that allows you to play Hardcore Ricochet Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Ricochet HQ Pro, and Hardcore Ricochet Search and Destroy on the new maps. Both playlists feature double XP and do not support the XBox 360's 'party chat' function.

Trivia

 * The names "Stimulus Package" and "Bailout" are most likely references to the actions of the Obama administration during the recent economic recession in America.
 * Upon the release of the map pack, many players were unable to join a game, regardless of if they had the map or not.
