OK, so a week ago I buy the Decimation map pack for 800 MicroSoft points ($10). Well, I have yet to find a game. I would say that I want a refund, but really I don't. I want someone with some authority at EA or Crytek to make an effort to get these maps into the hands of players. This doesn't take a brilliant mind to figure out how to make happen. Here, I'll help you:

1) Include a download code for ONE map pack--EITHER Retaliation OR Decimation with all NEW copies of the game sold.

2) Reduce the price of both map packs to 400MSP for a weekend (make it a double XP weekend).

3) Offer the second map pack at 50% off permanently to users who purchased one map pack at the full asking price of 800MSP.

4) Detect whether people searching for sessions have a map pack installed and match them to games with the new maps without the user needing to specify to the game to search only for sessions using the new map packs.

See how hard that was? Yeah, not too hard. You have my money, now gimme what I paid for... otherwise I paid 10 bucks for an assault rifle and a smoke grenade. This is unacceptable. If I do fail to get at least 10 games in on these maps by the end of August then I will ask for a refund. Also, at such time I will put the effort into finding more appropriate channels by which to voice my displeasure.

By the way, even though that sounded harsh... I still love the game. Crysis 2 is probably my favorite game this year, and I have bought quite a few games this year with several more to go. I have put over 50 hours into this game, which isn't a lot, but it is a lot for me... and shows how much I enjoy both the campaign and the multiplayer--in spite of their glitches and assorted issues.

Why couldn't I reload my JAW for half of my first campaign playthrough?? Why couldn't I pick up C4 for 2 levels on my second playthrough?? Yeah, no good reason why I couldn't.

To quote Eminem, "I'm not mad, I'm just fed up... ya know what I'm sayin'?" I still have money and I am still willing to spend it with EA and Crytek and further invest myself in this game and in this series (if the rumors of Crysis coming to Xbox 360 are true). Don't change my mind and force me into taking some kind of a moral stand, because I really hate that crap. Just do what's right.

If you play Team Instant Action, it isn't that hard to find a game on the Decimation map pack. At least not for me.

But yeah, I like your idea about about reducing the price for a weekend or so. Also, Crytek has already done something about this. They have given away quite a few codes for the map packs on their Facebook site.

Also; In my opinion, the FY71 and the M18 Smoke Grenade was well worth the 10 bucks.
