game consoles., playstation accessoriesThe smell of the digital battlefield just got a little bit sweeter after Activision announced they would be releasing the first map pack for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for X360 sometime in the near future. I’m expecting to see the 5 maps available either next week or at the start of April. According to gaming sources, two of the maps will be from the previous Modern Warfare and 3 will be new. This is a game that has captivated me faster then anything I’ve ever played on the Nintendo console or Playstation accessories I’ve used. The scope of the online multiplayer has me coming back over and over again.



Last evening I literally signed on and played for 90 minutes in what was some of the best shooting I’ve ever experienced on game consoles. It couldn’t have come at a better time either because I was in a party with four other friends. When a bunch of gamers gets together in a competition setting, there is no doubt we all want to end at the top of the leaderboard. It is that competitive spirit that keeps bringing me back to the same shooter on game consoles.

At one point, we were playing a domination match (3 points on the map to hold, the team with more points held for the longest wins) on the Subpen map. This is an arctic experience pitting squads against each other in a Russian snow covered military installment adjacent to a body of water where submarines are seen docked on the back portions of the map. There is buildings and roofs to lock down on either side and an open rectangular section in between the buildings smack dab in the middle. This point is always the hardest to control. I started off with a 4-kill streak that awarded me a care package. Lucky for me it contained an attack Apache which puts you above the battlefield for a small amount of time firing down on the enemy who show up as red squares. That then led to receiving a harrier strike at the 7-kill mark. From there I made 11 kills for the AC-130 before being spotted and killed. After respawning another kill streak ensued. I ended the map with a K/D of 47-12. My best ever on game consoles.
