alot of these dlc haters for CoD are most likely just a bunch of people that play Single player games. Get over it this is nothing new so stop acting like it is. Pay attention to games that you actually own and go buy that dlc. 

I live in Canada, my price may vary. If I buy Microsoft Points at the store, or over XBL at regular price, I pay about 1.5 cents per microsoft point. So 800MP to me is $12, 400MP is $6, and 1200MP is $18.

The Canadian dollar is above the US dollar now too, and I've heard that in mainland Europe the MP scales higher, as games are also more expensive there.

Also yes, I agree CoD games are really fun games, especially online. I loved Modern Warfare 1, and the main reason I never bought MW2 or WaW used was because it never came down in price. My friend also got MW2, so I kind of felt I owed him a CoD experience, and as soon as this game dropped to $50, I bought it used. However Infinity Ward titles are much better, and after the legal issue of Activision not paying Infinity Ward heads Royalties, and firing them, I don't think I'll buy the game out of etiguette.

The thing that sucks with CoD DLC is after a while you can't play matchmaking without getting the new maps. So they are basically trying to force people to get them. With Halo at least you don't have to have the DLC to play matchmaking.

Mario Kart Wii retains the same value as Mario Kart 64. Gran Turismo 2 had 650 cars, and so did GT4, GT5 is not really that different. Also Counter Strike has just as much multiplayer value as Black Ops, maybe more.

Black Ops is still fun as hell without DLC, I just want the DLC, but $15 is a lot of money! I bought Front Mission and blur new for $20 and that has a lot more value then Black Ops. $10 is pricy in itself too, but that extra $5 add principle. Get 4 new maps, and a zombie map, or save up the money for this DLC, and get Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Mod Nation Racers, Heavy Rain, or FFXIII?

It's just too much money for a few maps. Publishers are learning new ways to pump money out of gamers, and it's sickening.

E.G. Applie iPhones cost $12 to make due to slave labour. They charge hundreds!!! Who wins there?

it is what it is people there are too many people out their that will buy DLC for this price without a 2nd thought, i mean their are people paying to play games online!!! You have to pay to play a portion of a game you just bought for 50-60 bucks so i dont know why people get shocked when they see these DLC #s. Nothing you can do but not support it.

Well I guess Canadians and Europeans get ripped of by Microsoft more than Americans do. So you must have a bigger grievance with MS and Activision than I do.

I do have to say though I do not think IW's games are better. If you played enough MW2 you would know it was a camping nightmare fill with cheaters and boosters constantly destroying the fun value. I hear black ops has been hacked on the PS3, but on my 360 the game has a lot less problems. Practically zero boosting and the game is far better balanced for camping and for people that like to charge around like mad men.

MW original might have been the most innovative, but to me it was the most boring. I'm one of those rare guys who liked waw better with it's only fault being the vehicles.

Anyways if ypu spend enough time playing the game than you will get your moneys worth, but obviously if you don't it is a complete rip off. I certainly don't like Activisions cockiness with the extreme pricing though, it is an annoying factor.
