Robert Bowling Details Modern Warfare 2's Resurgence Pack


With all the brouhaha surrounding Activision and Infinity Ward, it seems that the focus has been taken off the fact that those guys made a game together at one point. For those that are avoiding the legal drama and just having fun with Modern Warfare 2, you'll have five new maps to play with come June 3rd.

As was the case with the successful Stimulus Pack, the Resurgence Pack will include three brand-new maps and two that are returning from CoD 4 (Vacant and Strike).

Carnival, Trailer Park, and Fuel make up the three new environments. Carnival is exactly what it sounds like, taking place in a desolate amusement park complete with roller coasters, a fun house, and a World of Tomorrow. It's a daytime map, and Bowling suggests that snipers should have a blast picking enemies off from atop a roller coaster.

Trailer Park exists within the world of the single-player campaign, as it's the living quarters of the owners of the boneyard area. This battleground will facilitate extremely close-quarters combat, with many maze-like corridors.

Bowling describes the last new map, Fuel, as a "sniper's haven." It takes place around an oil refinery, featuring numerous pumps and outposts with a wide-open area in the middle. Abandoned warehouses will house objectives and much of the combat.

Considering the success of the Stimulus Pack, it seems that Infinity Ward isn't going to fix what isn't broke. Just like before, these three new maps will be arriving on June 3rd at a price of 1200 Microsoft points. A date for their PS3 release is yet to be announced.

  • Wasn't expecting pictures already. Awesome!

  • nice! I will probably buy this also.. MW2 is all kinds of fun

  • I think I'll make the usual accusations of "OMFG u guys are t00ls, playing that garbage mw2" before anybody else does, even if I don't mean it.  Maybe then, we can save a flame war or two.

  • no thanks. i'll use my 1200MP on something useful and better. Activision won't get one more cent from me. unfortunately, many people will still buy this making it seem we really want to spend $15 for a couple of maps, ugh.

  • meh...might hold off on buying this...for a long while.

  • Wait and see if I get this package. Carnival looks good, but I'm not too excited about Strike and Vacant. They really need to bring back Bog and Bloc. I'm glad they are continuing to put out packages for the game, but for the price I think they are asking too much if they aren't putting new perks or new weapons into the mix.

  • I agree, they are asking way too much for so little. However, people will still pay it (most likely with their parent's credit cards)

  • Here we go again with 3 new maps and 2 existing maps with fresh paint?  If I wanted to play old maps I would pop in MW1, WTF?  I feel I am allowed to gripe and complain because, just like the Stimulus Package, I will end up buying this around 2 o’clock in the morning following a long night of imbibing adult beverages because one of my “so called” friends will be online and beg me to buy them.  Oh well, life goes on and I will enjoy it once I buy it.

  • I agree these are overpriced . Much as I would like to I haven't been able to justify spending 15 bucks on the stimulus pack , and don't expect to buy this one either . As omega spartan said though , so many people are buying these , that I think this is going to start being the new price point for DLC . Too bad .

  • I dislike MW2 but Vacant and Strike were great maps from MW1.

  • They look fun. Hopefully by the end of the Summer, they will both be available for a discount. Any later than that and I will just pass.

  • Going to be UNNATURALLY DOPE!!! Definition-So dope, it's strange.

    ***. Was hoping for the white house level. Awwwww

    Still gonna get it though. Gonna be COOL

  • here is an idea, how about they give us five maps from cod 4 for free, similar to what gears of war2 did with its remembrance pack, activision you already have 1 billion dollars from us, and charging 30 bucks for 6 new maps is rediculous, just give us cod4 maps for free, if you gave us 10 new maps for mw2 then i might throwdown 30 dollars for it. anyone else agree?

  • Ugh another $15 I have to scrounge up...

  • Well, there goes another $15 of my hard-earned cash.

    And Agent_nightshade, I'm with you.
  • So let me get this straight. We are up to $30 for 6 new maps and 4 rehashed maps. The sad thing is more people are going to complain about how bad the price is and how much Activision sucks, then they'll turn around and buy this. Count me out.

  • SWEET! a carnival based map was just what i wanted! :DD

    but i still think the *** thing is overpriced. just because we bought the first the first one for $15, doesnt mean you have to make this one $15. i mean LOOK, your already rich as f%$* YOUR JUST MAKING US POOR!

    make the next map pack free please as a gift for STEALING OUR MONEY!

    but im getting it cuz carnival looks good. only cuz carnival looks good.

    anyone else with me?
  • These actually look pretty good.

  • I love how every other map they make, there's always something about "You snipers are just going to *love* this!"

  • I was one of the millions who bought the stimulus pack on release day. I am now one of the people who won't make the same mistake twice. I gave them a shot. It was really not worth the money. I did not get $15 (or even 1200 fake Microsoft moneys) worth of play out of them.
