MW2’s Stimulus Package DLC Faces Tech Troubles
Although some critics believe the awesome on the web portion of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 actually surpasses that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward boss Robert Bowling isn’t worried.
Reviews for EA’s recent shooters have usually stated that the on the internet multiplayer mode is good enough to take MW2 addicts away from their online game, but when it comes to overall popularity in 2010, Bowling believes BC2 is no threat. He also isn’t worried about upcoming FPSs like Medal of Honor as well as the new Call of Duty; according to CVG, the addition of today’s Stimulus Pack DLC has helped solidify MW2’s widespread recognition. When asked if any game could knock MW2 off its lofty perch, Bowling replied:
“No. I hope not. I certainly don’t see any signs of it. We’ve been number one since launch and this map pack [Stimulus - released today] is going to bring even more people to playing MW2 and extend their play time. I don’t see it slipping any time soon.”
As for future competition, Bowling says they won’t concern themselves with that; they’ll “just focus on providing for our audience who adore our brand of game.” There’s small doubt that millions have enjoyed – and will continue to enjoy – Modern Warfare 2’s robust on the internet mode, but perhaps time is the only enemy of Infinity Ward. No online game might beat out MW2 when it comes to sheer users but more than time, almost everything fades. It is not just the way of the market; it’s the way in which of life. Sorry to be all depressing.
