And just like that we have another 5 "new' maps coming to Modern Warfare 2 on June 3rd in the form of the Resurgence Pack. And that's really all we know at this point. There's been no word on whether it will be all new maps or a combination of old and new like the Stimulus Pack was, all we know is that it will come out on June 3rd. We're not even sure if this will be Xbox exclusive to start like the last one or if all consoles/PC will get it right away. We also know that there will be two double XP weekends surrounding the launch of the map pack, the first one being the weekend of May 28th and then June 4th.
We'll keep you posted when we get more details, like what maps they are and what the price point will be.
UPDATE: Here are the details of the new maps, and again it's 3 new maps and 2 from CoD4 and yes the price point will be $15.
- Vacant -- the wide open Russian office complex from CoD4
- Strike -- the urban town surrounded by hotels from CoD4
- Carnival -- an abandoned carnival area with a Ferris wheel, fun house and other attractions
- Trailer Park -- full of "super tight corridors" and featuring a pool ("Mobile Estates," Bowling calls it)
- Fuel -- a "sniper haven" based in and around an oil refinery

AC,
MW2, a game that came out to dominate the FPS world. A game unsurpassed in playability, replayability, user friendly controls, and multiplayer experience (minus the few glitches that made the game almost unbearable five months ago).
When you think MW2, you think about the storyline. Transition that to the MP experience and you’ve got a whole new setting.
Here is my challenge to the developers.
Guys, we’ve played COD4. Overgrown and Crash are maps that were low on the popularity scale when converting them for MW2. We gamers, we want to experience what was going on in the game. Now you give us Vacant and Strike? COME ON!
We already know what’s going to happen here. Ugh, so tired of legacy maps!
-Side note- When COD4′s maps came out, where was Creek and Chinatown in the campaign? Nonexistent! Then you force us to have to make it enjoyable when those maps were instantaneous disasters for MP gaming!
Let’s look at the storyline vs. the MP experience.
What do we want. Maps from the game to make us remember why we bought this game. Not why we love the series, but the game! It would like bringing Zakk Wylde in to replace Dimebag (RIP) Darrell Abbot for a Pantera reunion. While Zakk can play the songs, he’s nowhere near the guitarist Dime was. See the analogy?
We metalheads love Pantera because Pantera was the heaviest most bad a&& band out there.
Not, Vinnie, Rex, Phil, and…..Zakk? It doesn’t even fit!
SO WHY WOULD YOU BRING IN LEGACY MAPS!?
It doesn’t make sense to us. We all want a Whiskey Hotel Setting and PLEASE DON’T PUT IT where the bus is the center point of the map. We are TIRED of sniper maps. We want medium range full on AR/LMG/SMG/Pistol Maps. GLs are okay and personally, I like using em. It’s not because I suck, it’s because I use it to cross map waste pogues and get in their head that they’re not safe! Psychologically unsound I like to make them feel! -Laughing-
We want The Gulag, and not in the shower room either.
Don’t make the map a lopsided “Bog style” bloodbath for one team or a Skidrow inspired beating of an 8th grader’s backside before becoming a freshman!
The beginning of that map is great, the whole battle space was awesome.
We’ve been talking about the Mall during Wolverines. We want those types of open maps that makes it amazingly difficult to get somewhere from Taco Tago to Burger Town. Just don’t create the “sniper is king” setting for it. Memory serves me right, there was plenty of cover in that map. Getting a chopper gunner is a bit funny if you ask me, since it’s in a mall’s food court area…chopper gunn…okay you didn’t get the joke…chopped meat basically….yes, I’ll keep my day job and not become a comedian.
The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday, multi level, you want me, come find me, I might be in a corner, I might be behind a barrel, but when my helos show up or my chopper gunner, this map could be awesome! Make it challenging for both teams. The multi- leveled environment, vs. AI (Actual Intelligence) could really make your skill set in this game be challenged.
No more snow based maps. Why? There is enough of them. And please IW, send out a patch with a new attachment for my AR other than a Heart Beat Monitor! THAT TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT EXIST FOR THE INDIVIDUAL SOP OPERATIVE! I would like to get me an IR beam or a laser dot vs. that. Why. Because I could guide my Chopper Gunner to a hidden target and give the chopper gunner an IR strobe NOT to shoot! Because I’m tired of getting hit by friendly fire!!!!! And Laser dots to the face would act better than a flashbang!
Yet I digress, I would like to get one of the maps to be incorporated from Second Sun. Around the Capitol Mall (part of Whiskey Hotel I guess) but it would be cool.
Lastly, no legacy maps. I’ve played all of the other maps in all of the other COD series games and…sadly, Waste-of time-land, De-DEE DEE-rail, Sub-standard-Base, and Quarry, are terrible maps. Shame on your IW for creating those crap maps. -Laughs-
Ok, final point. BRING US SOME NEW WEAPON SYSTEMS TO RUN UP! The HK416, the HK G36 (AR Version w/Cmag), MK48, M8, HK91, Shoot, if you have the LSW, then bring back the friggin M14, G3 (auto thank you), M60E4, the M114 Sniper Weapon System. IW should take a look at the folks at UBISOFT and how they relate the military weapons systems of today and tomorrow into the gamin experience of now! Seriously, look at the GRAW series from start to the upcoming future soldier coming out next year and the platforms you have for your character!!! GRAW has always made COD look really bad in that aspect!
End…IW, no legacy maps, no shipment, no bog, no crossfire, no strike, and for God’s sake, no SHOWDOWN!
Stop thinking about your pockets for once and start thinking about the people who made you who you are, us…the FPS shooter.
And…TRAILER PARK!? THE HELL WAS THAT IN THE GAME!? Really, another corner crouchers paradise. Wish we get the flamethrower from WAW and just burn the whole thing down!
Wow, you really don’t like “Legacy maps” do you? Personally I like them… a lot. And I don’t really care if a multiplayer map was not part of the single player campaign. Chinatown was one of my favorite maps in CoD4 only because it was a legacy map from CoD2 (and one of my favorites from that game). I really think that the multiplayer experience should be designed completely separate from the single player campaign and these days that’s what’s happening. There are 2 separate dev teams within the studio working, one on single player and the other on multiplayer. Sure they can share some of the same resources as far as textures and stuff goes, but why do you need the multiplayer maps to reflect what you played in the single player campaign? I mean as long as it’s not over the top ridiculous like the single player takes place on earth and the multiplayer takes place on mars… that wouldn’t make sense, but as long as the two sides take place in the same era, who cares what the maps look like…
And back to legacy maps, I loved the maps in CoD4, so for them to bring them back so I can play them with the updated physics and engine of MW2 is awesome. Crash and Overgrown were my two favorite maps in CoD4, I never skipped them and still don’t. I would be ecstatic if they brought back Chinatown as well, so I’m all for legacy maps. What I’m not on board for is the price though. I’m not going to sit here and bitch about the $15 price point, because I’m going to pay for it either way and for 5 maps I think it’s worth it. But I do agree with people when they say it should be at least 4 NEW maps for $15 not 3 NEW and 2 rehashed, but like I said, I like the old maps, so bring em on. And as for people bitching that we already paid for the old maps when we bought CoD4, well not everyone bought CoD4 so you can’t use that as an argument. If there was some sort of unlock based on information stored on your system that knew you purchased the game or something, that then unlocked the old maps for free in MW2, that would be cool, but there’s not so either deal with it or don’t buy it.
As far as adding weapons goes, I don’t care about leveling up weapons anymore, once I got the SCAR that’s all I’ve ever used and could care less about anything else. I could give two shits if they added new weapons to the game, I could give two shits if they added attachments or even took away the heartbeat sensor… it’s not that big of a deal. If you’re constantly getting killed by people with heartbeat sensors you’re not as good as you think you are.
Since day one I’ve only had 2 problems with the MW2 multiplayer and that was the javelin glitch and the care package glitch, but those have since been patched and I have no other complaints. This is the last DLC for the game anyways and we’ll be lucky to get another CoD game as good as CoD4 and MW2 ever again since Infinity Ward has lost quite a bit of talent in the past few months and other studios are now being tapped to continue the legacy. I’ve never been a fan of the Treyarch developed CoD games (although I’ll still buy them to play through single player) and I’m more excited to see what the ex-infinity ward guys put out through their new studio Respawn, with EA…
That’s what you and I agree on, why should we have to pay for the old maps, look, you bring back BOG, or SHIPMENT, I’m all about that, those two maps were insane.
I’m just saying, if you’re going to think about the one gamer, think about all. Maybe I’m a little too into my own thing. I can compromise for the greater good.
And yes, the whole 3 New, 2 Old is BS, it’s an insult. Come on really? Now they’re just like crack dealers, they know we want more, but they keep teasing us with it ya know? Then we break down for whatever price it is and we get it anyway we can. – No Homo -
And yes it’s going to be sic to see what this new studio comes out with.
If it’s anything like the COD series, it’s going to be off the chain. Would like to see if they could get the BLACK franchise and build from that. LOVED that game!
OH AND HOW COME NO PICS MAN! You’re slipping, I had to look on the web for em last night bro! You’re like my Fox News of Bloggers!
I know, i know (about the pics) I’ve been caught up in another project for the past couple weeks and AC is falling a little behind. I’ll try to get them up tonight even though you already found them elsewhere.
So when are you going to come and join us for a gaming session oh Yoda of blogging?
If you see me on send me a message (MaKTR2) and I’ll try to join your game. I just picked up Red Dead Redemption so I’ll probably be playing that for a bit, and then of course I’ll be back on MW2 when the Resurgence Pack comes out.
Roger that.
Don’t forget next weekend is double XP weekend.
