Since they were first offered, map packs for the Call of Duty franchise have sold in excess of 20 million units as of June 30, 2010. The figure was revealed in an Activision press release today.
"The Call of Duty franchise is unique in the world of entertainment and delivers one of the best multiplayer experiences ever," said Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. "We are thrilled to deliver to fans exciting and engaging content that has the intensity they have come to expect from the franchise."
It's important to note that these are life-to-date sales of map packs for the entire franchise, and are not just for the two map packs that have been released this year for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The press release didn't offer up any specifics as to how many of the map packs were for MW2, which were each priced at $15, a price that many considered to be too expensive.

Since they sold so many at that price most likely theyre just going to keep raising the price.

Despite the number of map packs sold, I still see a large chunk of people that don't have it...

i hope here is no activision employee registered in this forum!

I cant understand why everyone supported Activision by buying some mappacks!? Activision kicked out InfinityWard....IW is the creator of that game...and activision just sell it...and they kicked them out because IW have other opinions for the next call of duty then activision! what is that? and u pay them by buying the mappack! you really think black ops is going to be a good game?? its created by treyarch, thats all i gonna say! The whole game is copied from mw2 and tre<arch just put some crazy stuff in, like explosive remote control cars!? what the heck? i dont bought any mappacks and never do this...only if activision and IW working together again...and thats not gonna happen!

you dont even understand what went on.

Activision owns IW.

IW employs people to 'create'.

anything that is 'created' by an IW employee, on IW time, becomes IW property.

anything that becomes IW property then becomes Activision property, since activision own IW.

any employee that "have other opinions for the next call of duty then activision" can and will be ousted for insubordination.

you can not fault Activision for protecting its property. those guys tried to hold the franchise hostage for their own benefit(more money). maybe things would have went different is they just asked for raises.


they dont have that to worry about now though. their new company made a deal with EA that allows them 100% creative control over anything they create while under EA.
