Activision has announced that the Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack will be released for Xbox Live users on 3rd June.

Inside are five new maps, although they're not named.

To celebrate, Infinity Ward will host two double-XP weekends either side of release: one on Friday, 28th May and Friday, 4th June.

There's no mention of price, but Resurgence offers the same amount of content as the Stimulus Pack, which cost 1200 Microsoft Points (£10.20/€14.40).

The Stimulus Package was exclusive to Xbox Live for 30 days, and the Resurgence Pack is likely to follow that example before appearing on PC and PS3.


Rumour is there will be two cod4 maps returning, Shipment and Vacant, Shipment with the new killstreaks would be ridiculous imo.

Hope I've my Xbox back by then. If not I'll be buying a new one. I missed out on the last double XP weekend so want to make thorough use of these two.

5 new maps? Interesting. No COD4 remakes?

Edit. Just saw your edit to say that Shipment and Vacant might appear.

Creasy_bear

great , once again paying for maps that I'm already sick to death of playing

Thanks for the info anyway

krudler

ps3 in July then?, suppose thats still a good bit away. Dunno if I'll buy another map pack though






....ah who am I kidding...

Enigma IE

Shipment would be beyond ridiculous on MW2, unless they disabled killstreaks on that map. Really liked Vacant on COD 4.

Shammy

Looking forward to shipment tbh

Not pressing the prestige button till double xp weekend.

shay

And I'd only decided to stay on level 5 prestige! I'll be fecking tempted now...

These are 2 of my least favorite maps in mw. I wanna see Creek or Chinatown, way better maps than Shipment.

No place to boost on that one .

No killstreaks/Deathstreaks/noobtoob's/HB Sensors/ etc.

Basically what you would find in MLG matches etc. Just you and your gun against the other guy and his gun.

everyone wouldnt be on equal ground though ........thats the problem

IW? I wouldn't think so. Treyarch? Possibly.

But it would just be a new playlist gamemode. So in the same way that you can play Moshpit or Ground War which are random games of different modes, you can have BareBones to select from as well.

Treyarch are asking the community for suggestions now, and are going to launch a beta also before full launch. So they seem a huge amount better at listening to the people who buy their game. Pity they weren't allowed the Modern Warfare franchise from Activision...

Why not? Unless you mean unequal by skill?? No painkiller-commando combo's to worry about. It's simply who's the better player.

You can do it , private matches

Creasy may be referring to the host often having an advantage.

shawpower

Yeah, simple way to fix that too. Dedicated hosts. Just like EA did with BFBC2. It would mean Activision spending some money, so it's unlikely, but it'd be nice...

Can you imagine how good a game MW2 would be, played barebones on dedicated servers?

IW promised Bare Bones will be DLC in COD4. They promised Bare Bones will come with release in MW2.

I've all but given up at IW giving us Bare Bones.

Hope Treyarch will listen to the fans and give us that mode. I live in hope

So, a MW2 remake of a CoD4 remake of a CoD1 & 2 map? Man that's a confusing thought..

Hey, why not. If we're gonna have to pay for old rope it might as well be good old rope.

What really annoys me is that iw are teasing out the old maps in drips to bulk up their map packs and justify the inflated cost. We've already bought and payed for cod mw, at least give us the old 18 remaining maps for a premium and leave it at that.

anonymous_joe

Shipment was the one with like four shipping containers and that was it right?

Never had COD4, but one of my mates did... Vague and unpleasant memories of it.

cotwold

Yeah thats it. I was useless in it so i think its a bs map.

greenman09

Cant believe more maps already ffs. Still gettin used to stimulus pack

Snake Plisken

It was a nice surprise to hear about the mappack today, looking forward to noob tubing in the white house

Couldn't agree more, I would have waited for these new ones because no doubt they'll have some special deal for the two packs when they come out in June.

Nuri Sahin

Shipment is 100 kills near guaranteed HQ, Sabotage and Domination in COD4.

Agree with the comment above. Too early to release another map pack. I assume they'll release another one around the time of COD Black Ops being released as well later this year.

tallus

I was hoping they would include Crossfire, as it was one of the best maps on COD4.

Agreed, theres so many better maps than shipment.

In fairness us playstation players probably wont get it till july.

mise

From Kotaku

The old maps are Vacant and Strike, while the new maps are called Trailer Park (a tight, constrained map), Carnival (a big fairground) and Fuel (a sniper's paradise).

I quite liked Vacant, wasn't that keen on Strike..

.

Shipment never appeared in Sabo, i know because Ive never played that map, after 2 years of pure sabotage it should;ve come up.

Which brings me to my next point, as the stimulus package forced me to play random game types I actually broadened my horizons for the first time since moving from CTF to Sabo when MW1 came out, i now enjoy the odd game of S&D, it can be very skillful when played with a decent bunch of players.

As for Vacant & Strike in the new package, the ludicrous situation of buying maps that i already own AGAIN aside, Vacant might be good as air support will be virtually ineffectual here and I loved Strike, fighting for control of the high ground was always a larf, chuck in a pavelow or chopper gunner for good measure and it could be even better.

Know you said that, yeah I remember now.

Strike is perfection IMO be it for pub matches or clan matches. My favourite map easily.

Jev/N

Strike wasn't my best map so that's why I probably don't like it as much, looking forward to Vacant though!

Shammy

Considering the killstreaks in this game , District , Strike and Ambush would probably be the best maps to bring over, sadly my beloved backlot is left out.

Nuri Sahin

I liked Vacant in COD4 but I think it will be complete unbalanced carnage in MW2.

For example imagine, being spawn trapped in a Dom game in the outside part of the map. No where to hide(except one cargo holding I'm fairly sure) from air support.

Strike is perfect in that it's balanced IMO as well District.

Agreed

If i had a choice of what to bring forward COUTDOWN would be my favorite, it had a bit of everything.

Jev/N

Wait, I'm wrong actually, I was thinking of bog for some reason - getting completely mixed up with the maps!

Happy enough with Strike actually, although would love to see Downpour

Kev_ps3

So many better maps then Vacant. Pipeline, District, Crossfire, Backlot and Ambush, all better imo

Backlot, Crossfire, Pipeline. All better maps than Vacant and Shipment and all the MW2 maps except for (somewhat ironically) Overgrown and Crash.

EDIT: Add Strike, Bog and (even though a lot of people didn't like it) Downpour as better than Vacant/Shipment.

Just realised Strike is in there, didn't read the whole thread
