MW2 Stimulus Pack broken: Major Nelson Twitter update

By
30 March, 2010 Gaming, Xbox 360 3:10 pm

For all of you who are wondering what on earth is going on with the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package, we have an update to give you now, from Major Nelson regarding the delay.

Major Nelson has been keeping frustrated Xbox 360 owners updated on his Twitter account. As we mentioned in our earlier post, the download became available BEFORE the title update, meaning that the content is unplayable for the time being.

Nelson had this to say on the matter: ”The Stimulus Package needs a Title Update and it didn’t go out properly. We’re pushing it out now – it won’t be long.”

Lets hope ‘long’ means a matter of hours rather than days, otherwise it would be a disaster for all parties concerned you feel.

What are your thoughts on this – not ideal is it guys? Keep your eye on his Twitter acount for further updates.

      well done IW.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/djskitza djskitza

      Answer me this 1 question, if you bought a new car, paid cash and had it delivered to your house. What would you do if a team of engineers then turned up with car parts sayin "We'll try and get it done for you ASAP" Now you wouldn't be best pleased.

    • brad

    • (GIRL) Shaunna

      you have too buy the maps too play.

    • NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER

    • Ponzmoonz

      I got the update but when i try to join a game i get disconnected fro xbox servers.

    • Kayla

      Yup my xbox keeps freezing no matter which lobby I go on!

    • gmonkey

      So now the update doesn't work! Big shocker…

    • gunn

      i still can not get on to the new maps why?

    • beefcake

      @djskitza that’s funny, because ACER is garbage. And it only took a few hours to get it fixed, so all of you need to stfu. Just because there’s one SMALL problem doesn’t mean you have to qq like emo faggots about it.

      • nick

        All these maps had and uploads had been completed for months, this is totally an error on their part.and a small problem? a small problem isnt millions of paid customers getting refused what they paid for in the first place. i would not recomend keep trying to load matches either for caseof overheating ur x box.

      • http://intensedebate.com/people/djskitza djskitza

        Modern warfare on PC is 1'000'000 X betta than any console!!!!

    • Adesomers

      ive got the same problem, but you can go into a private match just to check them out

    • Bob

      OMG get a freaking life people. It isn't the end of the world… Go outside and something physical.

    • Dave

      This is a joke. They must have known there would be huge demand for this. I can't play online at all now. Maybe I'll buy a playstation 3 at least I don't have to pay to go online then.

    • Dungeon master

      got the stimulus
      pack and the update and I still cant join any matches.

      go figure?

    • HappyShopper

      Much love Activision, awesome job, keep up the great work!

    • FlamingSkyDesolution

      No, it is still not working as of 1:22 eastern time. The playstation people are laughing at us!! "haha gunea pig!" Shouldnt the major bugs allready be fixed through extensive beta testing before a global launch? I cant wait till halo reach hits live.. ahh Im gonna play some nazi zombies to cure my urge for shooting something.

    • justin

      i want a refund

    • dan

      This is LT…This is why I wate…..I dont buy anything on the first day does not matter what it is….. Still playing ALWAYS WATE>>>>>>>>>>

    • Lan

      The team leads at infinty ward and xbox live should be fired for this crap. I'm buying a PS3 and play some good old God of War 3. This xbox is crap… so many problems. I have gone through 4 consoles due to failed hardware and now this? MS can't do hardware right… can't do software right. The only thing they are good at is taking your money.

    • j todd

      has it been fixed?, still at work, waiting to go play

    • lewis

      Firstly, IW, you suck. i have finally updated though, but the lobbies are still freezing, and not connecting me to games. REFUND please.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Bipolarbill0 Bipolarbill0

      I find it funny people are complaining for refunds for their DLC because they can't play for a few hours. Hell, why not ask for a refund for your disc? Why not ask for a refund for your XBL membership while your at it? Might as well ask for some coupons or complimentary items for having you suffer through such a traumatizing event. We, the people, demand reparations! Give me a break…

    • I WANNA PLAY MW2

      please someone help i can't play stimulus package and thats not the worse part i can't play ANY thing not even team deathmatch…… please help!! :(

    • Keroo

      Jeez, stop crying. They made ONE mistake on releasing the DLC. If you can’t wait a small amount of time for them to correct it, you need a life.

    • steel

    • 360 sucks
