New video showing a game mode called ‘wager mode’ – looks to be a fun take on the predictable online first-person shooter series, however encouraging a ‘credit’ system will surely be a target for ‘boosters’ and hackers. . Here’s hoping that’s not the case!

Infinitely Ward’s Stimulus Package has brought me back to the madness that is MW2 online, and it was nice to see that in only the 10 minutes of playing absolutely nothing has changed. .

Bailout is one of the new maps in the Stimulus Package, set in a war-zone-ruined set of apartment blocks and I’m pleased to report is very good. The map feels well-balanced, and feels pretty large compared to the standard maps. I found it really suits game modes like domination and team deathmatch where there’s not one single point of focus. Bailout is laid out thoughtfully, there are no particular ‘camping’ spots and has a lot of personality. Bailout is probably the best example of MW2, it shows the game off at its best.

Sadly, my experiences during the three sessions of playing this game were also some of the worst from a technical point of view – I had ‘teleporting’, lag and the hosts seem to drop their connections at least 2 times each round. Stay tuned however for further review of the other maps in coming days.

Meanwhile, check out our gallery of screen grabs from my time with with the game:
