Via IGN comes the news that the first map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was downloaded over one million times in the first twenty-four hours of it’s release and would go on to sell over 2.5 million copies over the course of the week.

The map pack was priced at $15 dollars and only available on Xbox Live in comparison to the first World at War map pack that was available on both the PS3 and 360 last year which sold 1 million digital copies in the first week as well at $10 dollars according to IGN.

Everyone seems to have mixed feelings about this news. While it’s good that gamers are enjoying themselves with new content for a game that’s almost half a year old (showing that a franchise like Call of Duty is immune to that “DLC must happen in the first six weeks of a game’s launch or else the public won’t bite” rule) the fact that Infinity Ward’s achievements are currently still in the public eye for all the wrong reasons makes this victory bittersweet for some. – The Ben
