dvd home theater, video game consoleI downloaded the first map pack for MW2 last night and spent a solid two hours getting to know the five maps. Two of them were from the original Modern Warfare (Crash and Overgrown) and the other three are new. The best level (Bailout) takes gamers into a large apartment complex in what looks to be Eastern Europe. Tall high rises lay around the exterior map with an open courtyard of planters, fountains and assorted hiding places to set up the machine guns in the middle. What this map pack did fantastically was create depth. When clearing a tall building, the run up from the ground to the third story feels realistic. The developers did a great job at focusing the action in set areas too. This created some real nice sound for my DVD home theater. Nothing like ducking behind stair cases while others lob in grenades.

With many places to hide, at any moment an explosion of sound could leap out of the DVD home theaters system. There were moments I thought I was in a safe corner and then BOOOOM, someone is firing right at me. This is a video game console download worth considering.
