PC owners now have a date to anticipate downloading the "Stimulus Package" map pack for the hit first person shooter Modern Warfare 2. Robert Bowling, the community manager for developer Infinity Ward, has announced that the PC version of the map pack will be released worldwide on May 4.

There's no word yet if publisher Activision plans to charge for the PC version of the map pack. The official PC map packs for the previous two Call of Duty franchise games were provided for free and were included in a PC patch. The map pack itself will include five multiplayer levels; two all new and three remakes from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. And just a quick reminder; the multiplayer portion of Modern Warfare 2 should be available to play online for free via Steam starting right now though the weekend.
