I don't know how XBox Live works, but the Playstation network gets large weekly content updates on Thursdays.
Major Nelson confirmed it on his Podcast.
I'll be passing.
I'm going to speak to the outrageous DLC pricing with a closed wallet.
The more we all follow like sheep to pay these prices the more companies will follow the higher priced DLC model, no thanks.

Yep, I'm done with the game for the most part. I think we've moved on to the next pricing tier though... I expect all DLC to be 15 bucks now.
I'll be passing on a lot more if that is the case.
I also passed on the Bioshock 2 DLC as it was just an unlock code for what was already on the disk.
It blows that post release content is all pay to play now. Seeing as I have hundreds of dollars in unplayed games sitting on my shelf I'll know I'll buy this map pack at $15, since I know I'll at least get some entertainment out of it.
The thing I hate most about this sort of DLC though, is how it fractures the base of people who are playing. I think with GRAW2 there was an exclusive map if you registered with Ubisoft online or something. But the people who jumped through the hoop could no longer play with people who didn't. Just pointless and stupid.
It's ten times worse when the game is closer to the end of its life cycle. You pick up the game on the cheap for 15 bucks or whatever... but if you want to take the show online you need to buy $30 worth of map packs that never go down in price no matter how obsolete the game is. And since there aren't many people playing, the permutations of compatible DLC can make it impossible to get into a game.
I think with Gears of War they did a map pack, which after a window of some months became free... that seemed like a good compromise. Of course with Gears 2, instead they put in a redemption code for the Flashback pack, to stick it to the used games market

Uggggh. I just did my first Prestige. I miss Cold Blooded already.
Ltwt/marathon comes with the default class-I'm using it now to get back to cold blooded. Also, if the enemy doesn't have active UAV and you freeze in place you aren't on their HUD even in Core.
^ I use Commando because it seems to help me with any lag issues when using the knife and also in that slot theres nothing I want to use anyway. Lightweight and Marathon don't interest me and IW really should of made it less armour protection if you have a perk that makes you lighter/quicker.
Yeah, saw it, cheap crap.
Knifing? You obviously have never heard of the TAR21/w/tubes and Steady Aim. I ROCK the other team some games this way. Nothing funnier than dashing amidst the enemy and laying waste left and right while they think they are "safe" at their spawn area...
I don't normally like to use the noob tube, but I might try this combo out just to see what it's like.Knifing? You obviously have never heard of the TAR21/w/tubes and Steady Aim.

It's just most people I see who use Lightweight and/or Marathon also use them in conjunction with Commando so they can just run around knifing people the whole match.
i use Stopping Power, Steady Aim and Sleight of Hand. i prefer the combination of being able to reload faster, shoot straighter and penetrate cover more.

Yeah, I see that too. Y'know that achievement you get for killing people with an unexploded rifle grenade? Those are the people that I usually get it on...
Truth-I see guys w/UMP or MP5K or that F2000 doing the run n gun this way a lot-I just favor the Tar21 'cause of the tubes and accuracy.
