Plus, you aren't really paying for the game mode. Considering how much DLC Treyarc adds per map pack opposed to Infinity Ward, you are still getting more. Also, Activision are also to blame considering they tell Treyarc when they have to release map packs and such. They have this thing called a "contract".
They could have easily fit one crummy mode into it. You do realise this game mode is the reason you can see the Diner on the zombies map, but can't select it. They took it out at the last minute to repackage it, no other reason. If I'm not paying for the game mode, why do I have to pay for all the other stuff I don't care about to get it? Also, I never bought up Infinity Ward so I have no idea why you are. Treyarch have their own marketing team, all they have to do is meet Activision's quota which they would do with just the regular 4 multiplayer maps and 1 zombie map. But no, they decided to punish non purchasers of DLC further by making their game even more watered down.
