Let's face it. We already know how this is going to happen.
- Step 1 (5/13): Activision makes announcement of second map pack.
- Step 2 (5/13 - Step 3): People decry how close this map pack's release is to the Stimulus Package release and vow not to purchase it.
- Step 3 (TBA): Activision announces it will be 1200 Microsoft Points.
- Step 4 (Step 3 - 6/3): People tear their hair out and lament the expensive add-on. Many petitions are created.
- Step 5a (6/3): The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack is released.
- Step 5b (6/3): Millions purchase the map pack. 80% of those that purchased have signed petition in Step 4.
- Step 6 (after 6/3): ...Profit! Activision takes all your money, makes a killing and has executive retreat on newly-purchased island to be affectionately renamed Kotick's Lemming Island.*
People, you have only yourselves to blame. Break the cycle!
