New maps for Call of Duty 2

By Tom Bramwell Published 30 June, 2006

Dutiful reporting.

As promised, Activision and Infinity Ward have released the Invasion Map Pack for Call of Duty 2.

Available through Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 MS points, which works out at just under seven quid in her majesty's pounds (and therefore around 10 in the wads of the Euro-empire), it includes five maps.

Infinity Ward studio head Grant Collier says "we've mixed things up with the Invasion Pack," and by that he means that you get to go to France, France, France, Egypt and Russia.

More specifically, Antonville, St. Louet, Amaye sur Seulles and, out-of-France, Alam Halfa in Egypt and Rostov in Russia.

You can find them by logging onto Marketplace now - and given that Call of Duty 2 is currently the most popular of Xbox 360's multiplayer games, as Activision delights in reiterating, you'll probably find some people to spar with too.

CoD2 has previously seen free maps in the Bonus Map Pack and some others you could buy in the Skirmish Map Pack.

  • alimokrane #3 6 years ago

    800 MP for four multiplier maps. Will they ever get their prices right eveeer ???

  • reality_cheque #4 6 years ago

    This makes the GR:AW expansion look good, at least you get new co-op missions with that :/

    Not that I like the COD2 multiplayer anyway :(

    I looked this morning and those four maps weigh in at around 450MB... or was it 750MB? Whatever, it was a huge download so I presume that is reflected in the price.

    800 points is a little excessive for only four new maps though but one thing that bothers me is the size of these downloads... the GR:AW one is huge too (and expensive) but the Xbox 360 only has 20GB drive with just over half actually available to use.

    On my 360 with three demos and a few videos I downloaded, I have just 5GB left so it would only take a few of these downloads and I'd be out of storage space!!! These massive premium priced downloads just highlight how inadequate the size of the 360's HDD is really... and it's a good job I hated Final Fantasy XI as I wouldn't have the space to install it now anyway!!!

    Please read thoroughly before commenting. It clearly states there are 5 new maps in this pack.

    Personally I find £1.35 per map to be very reasonable and will certainly get hours more fun out of them than the 15 minutes I could spend in the pub with that amount of money. If you factor in the other 2 map packs the price is even lower at £1.13 per map. Peanuts.

    exactly dodgy, the maps are great, and well worth the price.
