In what might be the briefest press release we've ever received from a major publisher announcing a new chunk of DLC for an über-successful game, Activision revealed that another set of five multiplayer maps for Modern Warfare 2 will drop on Xbox Live on June 3. We know two things about said maps so far: They're coming in a set called the "Resurgence Pack," and their release will be heralded by two double XP weekends on May 28 and June 4.
Now, that's what we know. What we assume is that the pack will feature a mix of new maps and renovated versions of Call of Duty 4 maps -- perhaps a bit more of the latter, given the title of the bundle. What we also assume is that the "Resurgence Pack" will carry the $15 price tag of the "Stimulus Package" (it worked well enough before). We'll contact people in the know to see if we can squeeze out any firmer details.

I'd say...99.9% chance that at lease two maps will be the exact same ones from Call of Duty 4.

I got the new maps for PC the other week....only to find out that it just adds 2 rooms with rotating game modes.....most of which I don't want to play. Can I just get my Hardcore Team Deathmatch please?

So this comment thread is either you being an idiot for buying them, or being right all the time...

i'm happy the developers are still working on the games. I'm sorry that the DLC will be pushed to their price tolerance.. people will buy it though. i wont buy it only because.. i didn't enjoy the game as much as MW1.. and i felt the game was shorter and the multiplayer was harder, because of broken game play.. though i'm happy those who enjoy it continue to get support for the games after the fact.. sucks that the market is allowing them to charge.. but that's everyone's right.. hopefully though it corrects itself and developers actually put things in the game in the first place rather than hold out for DLC.

Battlefield : Bad Company 2 must be doing gangbusters online to have them release this map pack so soon....
To be honest....I downloaded the last one....played it for 2 days....then immediately went back to BC2......and its new modes.
MW2 is too many run & gunners versus actual strategic & team players for my tastes.

you guys always complain about $5 extra.... it's $5.
I will be buying this for sure, new maps mean more replay value.

No more COD4 maps. I bought MW2 for new maps, not old ones. If I want to play COD4 maps I'll just play COD4. Load of bull dust if you ask me

So I got nuked in a Search & Destroy match not too long ago. Can we fix that first PLEASE? Like, just fix the game. I just want a playable game and then I will consider additional maps to play said playable game IN. That is all. Fix the game, then sell extras. Please.

11.10.09: MW2 $59.99
03.30.10: Stimulus Package $15
06.03.10: Resurgence Pack $15 (speculated)
Total: $89.99 + tax
Facts: Call of Duty Black Ops will be released in five months. Infinity Ward has and continues to lose key personnel. I’m sick of the nickel and dime tactic. I’m throwing my copy of Modern Warfare 2 on eBay...get something good like Alan Wake.

The thing that most pisses me off is the re-use of CoD4 maps.
For one thing I'm sure a significant portion of the people who own mw2 can play these maps right now by popping in cod4.Yeah, the $15 would be a bit much even for 5 new maps but $5 each for 3 new maps is what it boils down to in reality.

I bitched about the price f the stimulus package for a while, then I sat down to do the math. the average map pack, as accepted, is 10 dollars, or 800 points for those with the 360, and it include 3 maps. now, following this logic, each map is worth about 3 dollars and some change. this pack features 5 maps for 15 dollars/1200 points, averaging out to exactly 3 dollars per map, allowing essentialy, each map to be a bit cheaper. I'm not gonna complain as long as their good.

don't buy it, force them to lower the price. I'd pay 15 for 5 new high quality maps. a marshland, a forest, a jungle is what mw2 needs, something that screams war. A carnival doesn't belong in mw2
