It would outrage me because this isnt DLC, its a piece of the game that is cut out and sold to you as premium.

But, i dont care about CoD, just saying.


Actually this isn't correct. One of the things I love most about Activision and CoD, is even though it is a yearly release and a sure fire 20 million seller nowadays, each and every game comes packed with content. For example, the agreement where they announced future DLC to be Xbox timed-exclusive started in 2010 with Black Ops. That game shipped with 14 MP maps. Compare that to 9 for Halo: Reach, 8 for Bad Company 2, and 8 for Medal of Honor.

In 2011 the deal continued and we saw MW3, which shipped with 16 maps. Compare that to BF3 which came with 9, Uncharted and Gears 3 both with 10 or 11, and 8 for Killzone 3. And of course Blops 2, which comes with 16 maps. Compare that to 10 for Halo 4, 8 for MoH Warfighter, 10 for Ghost Recon, and 8 for Max Payne 3. This doesn't include the wealth of content in Zombie/Spec-Ops mode, which some games on this list also have (Uncharted, Halo) but those games don't have as much as CoD does either.

Sometimes companies do hold off content for DLC. Other times companies fill to disc with loads of content and then after release, make some more. CoD has done the latter of those things.

don't even compare bf3 maps to cod maps. 1 bf3 map is like 2-3 cod maps. In bf3 tdm the maps would be broken up since they are too big for a 12v12 match.
