Modern Warfare 2 'Resurgence Package' DLC strikes PS3/PC on July 6

by Andrew Yoon on Jun 11th 2010 1:20PM

Modern Warfare 2's second map pack, the "Resurgence Package," will be ending its brief stint of Xbox Live exclusivity next month. On July 6th, the map collection will be available for PC and the North American PlayStation Network. (European PS3 owners will have to wait until July 7th.) The DLC will likely carry the same price tag as its predecessor: a lofty $15. Included in the package are five maps, including two environments from Call of Duty 4:

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
Fuel -- a "sniper haven" based in and around an oil refinery

It's too bad Infinity Ward couldn't get the new map pack out in time for the Fourth of July weekend. We're pretty certain we know exactly what CoD fans are planning to do then.

I'm getting this for free

It won't be "striking" into my wallet though.

Carnival is such an awesome map. I'm happy I picked this up on 360. The atmosphere or an old carnival is a little creepy, its fun to run and shoot from rollercoaster tracks, and you even get tricked or freaked out by some clown decorations hiding in the shadows.

The trailer park map sucks though

$15 for 3 new maps? Fuck that

@Porygonarrhea

Exactly. I love how Activision wants to milk customers for just importing maps from COD4. Sad thing is people buy it.

@Porygonarrhea
Seriously? Are people going say his argument every time a new map pack comes out? If you are an avid COD fan I think this will be well worth your money. I rather pay $15 for new maps than pay $10 for whatever scam BC2 is trying to sell.

@Porygonarrhea

And another thing. Gamesharing on the PS3 FTW!!

You could always spend $10 for no new maps instead.

@Porygonarrhea
yes, Grey, people are going to bitch every time. Because they know they have a gold mine and they're taking advantage of it severely. Look at the Killzone map packs. It's what, like 3 bucks for 2 maps? Maybe 4 or 5 bucks individually? Look at that Blacklight game... 12 maps for $10... Oh yeah, and the entire game. $15 for a few maps is incredible rape. Paying for maps is something relatively new in the first place. Since consoles need a unified delivery system, someone has to pay for the server usage in order to store and retrieve the maps. And yes, we should throw the devs some cash too. But to PC owners, this is even more BS. Counter-Strike has a zillion free maps (admittedly not a lot are professional quality, still more than MW2), and they are all free. No just user made maps, but the officially added professional maps. All free. I don't mind paying $5 for a few maps, but $15 is absurd.

Having said that I'm a sucker and will eventually buy them. I'll just wait until they go on sale.

I got a DLC code for the 360 Maps from a dude at Gamestop, Gonna ask him again.

Another 15 dollar map pack? Thank god my friends and I pool together for it and we expend the 5 allowed downloads for one paid thing on the PSN. Definitely looking forward to playing Strike and Vacant, the latter being my favorite COD 4 map.

@TheSaiyan hasn't people got PSN banned for gamesharing?

@TheSaiyan

Yes, I bunch of guys and I at work did this and it came out to $4 a piece since we all pay for the card, anything leftover is used for a theme.

@Faenix
You can't get banned for it since it is encouraged by Sony itself.

**Thanks Gamesharing**

I really wish they were cheaper. I would pay only for COD:4 maps because it takes me back to the best FPS this generation. Oh and by the way screw you microsoft for being a pussy and making PS3 owners to wait a month later! Ion't have nothing to do with your console wars! I just wanna play some damn games!

Well I still don't like spending 15€ on 5 Maps. Even if it were 10€, I wouldn't care. Maps should be free on every platform.

$15 dollars?!!?!?! oh my god! that is outrageous!!! how am i EVER going to afford $15!!!??? oh wait, maybe with my fucking job that pays me exorbitant amounts of money.

I see what you mean. But still.. you have to admit. It is costly for 3 new maps and 2 copy pasta'd maps. I could spend the money no problem, but I would rather save the 15$.

@isaidicanshout

Not everyone who plays MW2 has played COD4. Also this map pack is far and beyond better than the stimulas pack.

It may be a little high for 2 rehashes, but I play COD a lot. I want to inject some new life into the game. $15 is not that expensive. The new maps are really fun, and it's nice to have some old favorites back.

I could put on my tinfoil hat and decide that there's no way $15 is necessary for the work that went into the map, but Carnival and Fuel are so awesome that I don't care. It's worth it to me, and I'm not a sucker because I have the money to buy something that I'm going to put hours and hours into.

So maybe it should have been $10. Activision and Microsoft want to make money. Shocker.

I make good money, too. That doesn't mean that I'm going to buy a $15 candy bar on the way home.

@zlickrick

Maybe if that candy bar entertained you for 20 hours, you might reconsider.

@zlickrick
Unless that Candy Bar is full of peanuts who cuss uncontrollably!

Friggin game has given me trigger finger, told to lay off it for 2 whole weeks LOL

The pricing is still ridiculous. Oh,well I guess that is how the world goes.

GameShare for the win!

£10.99 is clearly over the top for 3 maps.
We dont want COD4 maps ffs, if we do, we play MW1!!!

5 new maps, I'd pay £10 for. But not 3. I got 4 on WAW for £6.99!

Will it have a double XP week after launch?

@BlindNoir Ofcourse !

Now PS3 owners can be "Stealth Clowns" too.

thx for not giving the maps to us by 4th of July weekend..... Dick!

You can't get banned for it since it is encouraged by Sony itself.

When did map pack 2 come out on the 360? I wasn't even aware of it!

$30 all total for 6 new maps is...not cheap.

@(Unverified) Earlier this month.

At last PS3 owners can enjoy getting ripped off by Activision as well!

@shard765

Huzzah!

This sucks again.. I love COD, but they punish me for buying for PC by CHARGING $10 EXTRA, for NO apparent reason, and then make us PAY for DLC that is traditionally free. Forced to use AlterIW

Kinda curious if they gonna charge $15 for two MW maps, two MW2, and one mw3 map when it comes out?

Just speculation of course since I have no intent on buying the next one, actually I need to stop being lazy and trade MW2 in to get something I'll play.

Cant wait!!!

Trailer park looks good, but you know its gonna be all Spaz 12. Good thing I'll sound whore em.

@MicroNik replace spas 12 with noob tubes and you're dead on

thx.

I want to be courageous and say I'm not going to pick this up until the inevitable price drop, but that could be more than a year.

Time to suck it up and take it up the rear... ='(

Honestly, This map pack has better old maps then the last one.

Meanwhile in Team Fortress 2 land the engi update is comming soon with new maps, weapons, hats and what not..
And Ohhh Boy.. it will be free!

Not sure if I'll buy the maps or not next month, I have yet to get the Stimulus map pack.

Looks like I'm game sharing again.
