JC Fletcher — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:30:00 EST

If you pick up the Mass Effect 3 "Resurgence Pack" - it's free! - you'll be able to take part in a multiplayer event this weekend. Of course it's called "Operation Resurgence!"

Operation Resurgence surges from April 13 at 5PM PST through Monday, April 16 at 5AM PST, on Xbox 360 and PC. All participating players (basically everyone with the DLC) will get 10 percent extra experience when playing on the new maps, and will get a "Reserves Pack" that will unlock one of the random alien classes.

Resurgence.

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

Andrew Yoon — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 13:20:00 EST

Filed under: Weird But True, Opinions, New In Pop Culture

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.

Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Map Pack detailed [Update: Now with screens!]

David Hinkle — Fri, 14 May 2010 09:46:00 EST

Click image to amuse yourself with some new screens

Xbox Live's Major Nelson had Infinity Ward "creative strategist" Robert Bowling on his podcast recently to talk about the upcoming Resurgence Map Pack for Modern Warfare 2. Set to release on June 3 on Xbox Live, the pack will be priced at 1200 ($15) -- the same as its predecessor, the Stimulus Pack. Resurgence will feature maps old and new, including two Call of Duty 4 maps and three new locations:

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

Bowling says that the new maps will be tied to specific playlists, just like the Stimulus maps. With the Resurgence collection, however, it's possible that all of the maps will be available in every playlist, as long as "demand is high." And, as with the previous pack, the new maps will be exclusive to Xbox 360 for a short time before coming to PC and PS3.

Update: We've got images of all five maps, which you can check out in the gallery below or by clicking the image in the post. Enjoy!

Modern Warfare 2 'Resurgence Pack' adding five more maps on June 3

Griffin McElroy — Thu, 13 May 2010 09:32:00 EST

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.
