Infinity Ward has announced the first downloadable content for Modern Warfare 2 will be released on 30th March 2010.

Reportedly set to include five maps - Crash, Overgrown, Complex, Compact and Storm. Rumoured to be called the "Stimulus Package".

Kotaku is reporting strange happenings at Infinity Ward, developers of Modern Warfare. It appears that Jason West and Vince Zampella, two lead developers at Infinity Ward in a meeting with Activision were dismissed. Activision have stated "The Company is concluding an internal human resources inquiry into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward", "This matter is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation".

The rumours are that there are 2 DLC packs lined up for MW2 (perhaps more). Obviously this will include new multiplayer maps, but what interests me is what else we might see (or would like to see).

My requests would be:

4 Player Special Ops - Surely not that difficult to include and I would say this is 1 place that MW2 is beaten my WaW. If 4 player mode were included, I don't see how many of the current missions would work, IW could perhaps alter a couple to be 4 player, but I think we would need some specific 4 player missions.

More Special Ops Missions -

Abstract360 has posted rumours supporting the view that Treyarch is currently putting together a story-focused, Vietnam-based episode for the Call of Duty due to be released Winter 2010.

Its all been quiet at CODnChips as we've all been playing MW2, obviously. In fact since release on the 10th, we've clocked in over 1 day of multiplayer each, and i am up to level 59 :o)

We have now unlocked a large percentage of the weapons, attachments, equipment and perks, so we will soon be updating CODnChips to give details of all these. Plus tips and tactics that we've so far learnt, either by trial and error or someone kicking our ass and giving us a good lesson.

The 2 player co-op mode in Modern Warfare 2, is of course called Special Ops. From the news of 69 stars available in this mode (1 star for completing it on Regular, 2 for Hardened and 3 for Veteran), we know we have 23 different missions. A quick google gives us these at the moment:

•Breach and Clear
•O Cristo Redentor
•Sniper Fi
•Hidden
•Suspension
•Body Count
•Acceptable Losses
•Bomb Squad
•Estate Takedown
•Time Trial
•The Pit
•Snatch & Grab
•Terminal
•Wreckage
•Overwatch
•Big Brother
•Evasion
•Race
•Homeland Security
•Wardriving
