Live on PSN: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack Tour

532 58

The Resurgence Package is here! The second game add-on for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now available on PSN, and brings with it five additional multiplayer maps, including some of the most unique and awesome places you’ll ever have a firefight.

Modern Warfare 2: Resurgence Pack for PS3 (Carnival)

As always, we’re focused on bringing a little something for everyone in the Resurgence Package. Take Carnival, a desolate and large amusement park that’s perfect for objective gametypes and offers some amazing vantage points atop the wooden roller coaster “Dragon’s Den” or the looming sniper spot positioned high above “The World Of Tomorrow.” This place is like nothing you’ve ever seen in multiplayer before, with distinct locations all around the map which are perfect for calling out enemy positions and working tactically with your team.

Modern Warfare 2: Resurgence Pack for PS3 (Fuel) Modern Warfare 2: Resurgence Pack for PS3 (Trailer Park)


Fuel is a sniper’s haven in this massive desert oil refinery with wide-open areas and extremely long sightlines. If you’re running and gunning, stick to the buildings in the center or take the underground tunnel route to get out to the snipers in the surrounding rocks and oil pumps. Trailer Park is maze of thin sheet metal fencing, torn up trailer units, and cluttered recreation areas. Trailer Park is ideal for the FMJ mod, and offers some insane Headquarters matches due to the soft cover points and thin walls that surround the objectives. We’ve also brought back two more fan favorite and classic Call of Duty 4 maps; Vacant and Strike. We’ve made some key tactical changes to both maps that veteran Call of Duty 4 players will pick up and start taking advantage of immediately. Such as the opening of the back room by Objective point C in the marketplace on Strike, and the now more accessible top floor of the flower shop overlooking the main street. On Vacant, the back gate of the office complex that leads to the hallway will now be open on specific gametypes like Demolition to give the defending team a faster route to the objective.

That’s just a bit of the new details you’re about to discover when you jump online and start exploring the five new locations the Resurgence Package adds to Modern Warfare 2. You’ll also notice we’ve changed up the playlists to introduce some new game modes and accommodate the new maps. You can now choose to play exclusively on the new Resurgence maps by choosing one of the two Resurgence playlists at the bottom. Just like last time, Resurgence and Hardcore Resurgence offers a variety of game modes to play. We’ve also introduced two completely new mosh-pit style playlists called “Barebones Pro” and “Objective Barebones Pro” which both have Killstreak Rewards disabled. So set up a new create a class, strip off Cold Blooded because you won’t be needing that, and see what it’s like to go head-to-head with no air support to worry about.

Most importantly though, let us know what you think. We’ll continue to change up the playlists based on YOUR feedback. So if there is a gametype variant or cool combination you’d like to see in a future playlist update, be sure to follow me on Twitter (@fourzerotwo) to keep track of those changes and let us know your thoughts!

  • I still play this game but i heard you say once in an interview that only 1% is affected bij knifers… that’s because the other 99% is a knifer/noobtuber! please get commando and one man army out of the game and don’t ignore this please! you’d get a lot of gamers back playing your game and probable earn more mony from dlc’s and stuff! come on make the game fun again, or you’ll lose another fan :'(

    • The 1% comment was in reference to things like the Javelin exploit, not knifing or grenade launchers. However, we are looking into ways of balancing OMA in the next update. I’m pushing to get that out through production, I’ll keep you posted on it.

  • Any planes to do something about boosting with the tactical insertion? It’s been rampant almost since launch, and it’s even in Barebones Pro in almost all the FFA matches.

  • Aren’t you guys bored of running around aimlessly on tiny maps with what- Is it 20 people per map? 24?

    Pick up MAG if you want some depth to your FPS gameplay. 256 people on massive maps! Actual teamwork! Imagine that.

  • Please do something to control the widespread useage of OMA + grenade launcher spams, its getting way, way, way, too out of hand – to the point where I can’t find a gametype where the majority of the entire other team isn’t doing it. Its easy enough to run up behind the guy and kill him – but its the one guy who just noob tubes randomly to red dots on the mini map.

    This and the rock glitch – aka the only reason I refuse to play that map.

  • READ 201!

  • @robert bowling as long as the glitches like modded lobbies and geo glitches that you guys are aware of get fixed ill continue to play, got a group of guys I play on xbl with regularly and agree 100% that communication is vital. Short descriptive comments like to communicate what you see can really give your team an advantage

  • hey robert, question, how come Shipment never made it in? I loved that map, it was crazy

  • Why not add weapons and new maps in a package it is much worth the 15 bucks and will probably bring more players back

  • Update the playlist how hard is it to modify the config and add the new maps to regular rotation.?

    • It’s not a matter of difficulty, it’s a matter of matchmaking integrity. Once the maps are in a rotation, it divides the user pool into users with and without the maps. If you have the maps, you’ll only matchmake with others who do as well. Therefore, you have a more enjoyable matchmaking experience if you dedicate the maps to a specific playlist and once the percentage of total users with the map is larger, merge them. This ensures you have a larger pool of games to choose from and therefore better matchmaking.

  • i agree with what someone said in one of the comments i would love a 18 person FFA (i somehow got in one last night and it was so much better except the score limit should be raised to like 2000) and a hardcore ffa would be amazing. i think my favorite map vacant. Annnd… i totally agree with someone up there. a map pack with guns would be so amazing. dragnov would be my sniper. (;

  • Hey I agree with that one guy, please bring more guns! Also some new titles and emblems. Maybe even more prestige ranks? PLEASE!

  • I really would like if you added both map packs to a single list. I like both the map packs but really dont want to play the old MW2 original maps (burned out on them) but would love to play the 10 in a rotation.

  • everyone needs to stop crying about people noob tubing and camping. get better! i play all the time and there is nothing more fun the throwing a knife in the head of some little kid waiting for my team. so get over it and enjoy the game.

    The new map pack is awesome. i will continue to pay and play thank you Robert Bowling for an awesome game. cant wait for Black ops to come out iv already pre-ordered it!

  • PAGE 1

    Robert, thank you for taking the time to read through everyone’s comment.

    On several of your comments I noticed that you said (most specifically related to the Fuel/rock glitch): “we are aware of this bug, however we didn’t feel that it was necessary to delay the product in order to fix it.” or something of that nature.

    Robert, don’t you see that this is why people get upset with your game in the first place? Not taking the time to best/fix games before you release them. The thing that drove me away from MW2 in the first place were the 1887 akimbos when they were long range, javelin glitch and OMA (which still isn’t fixed).

    Now with the new map pack, you still haven’t learned a damn thing and worst of all, you admit it publicly to everyone who makes you rich.

    • The rock wasn’t known until after it went through submission for PS3. Which means, while it may not be out publicly, it’s out of our hands and going through the process of release. If something like that is found at that point, it would mean we’d have to recall it from submission, address it, and re-submit. Which could lead to a lengthy delay in release of the map pack.

      I think a delay of ALL the maps would upset far more people than having to download an update for a small section of one map to be updated. It’s definitely one of those decisions that has pros and cons, but with anything you have to choose the best decision and commit to it.

  • i will gladly wait a month more for a package with weapons and maps
    more time to focus on weapons too

  • PAGE 2

    The sad thing about MW2 is that 8 months later, this game is looking like the game that was meant to be released in November now that all of the bugs are fixed (almost.)

    Now that I am done with the insults, I would like to suggest that you guys have a playlist WITHOUT perks. I don’t see why air support was taken out. Perks lead to air support, so if people where not able to use perks then there wouldn’t be as much air support and the game would be so much more balanced. When you have perks such as commando and OMA, you are not being killed by another player, you are being killed by that perk which is overpowered.

    Add a perkless playlist and I will repurchase MW2.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint.

  • It’s not even worth it lol

  • Please reply you never do :( when will the ps3 leaderboards get fixed also a bunch of new hackers on the leaderboards just came on about 1000 with like a billion kills I know u probably don’t care about the leaderboards but please fix them!!!!!!!

  • Hey Robert, hopefully I got here before you stop answering questions. Are you guys ever going to add a Hardcore Ricochet Team Deathmatch to the Playlists? There are so many people who go into games just to team kill it’s ridiculous. Thanks!

    • I don’t think we’ll add another dedicated Team Deathmatch playlist (of any variant), as there are already several TDM playlists. Although the Hardcore Resurgence playlist has that in the rotation I believe.

  • Can you please speak to the boosting problem in ffa in particular?

    I am even running into boosters in bare bones! What idiots!

    Maybe just make a ‘booster’ playlist. I’m cerial, just make a playist and call it ‘Booster Pro’ or something so they can leave us alone already.

    The alternate is making tac insert only work in objective game modes.

  • Hey you guys should add Survival and Team Survival to the playlist. It would work just like snd but without the bombsites and with just one live. I will probably become one of the most played playlist if added.

  • i think u should fix how the desert eagle works because it was a very speacial gun in the cod 4 game
    also i was wondering if it is possible to put gold camo on some of the guns

  • can you fix the wall hack aimbot. its becomming a problen. the maps are great, and alot of the people i play with love the introduction of the old maps. On the game modes, could you not make it a rotating menu so we can keep all of the old game modes, as well as the new ones. We get into games and someone starts crap. we used to goto 3rd person cage match to settle the issue, or challenge laid down by someone, one on one. alot of us miss the old game modes, but do not want to lose the new game modes either. The game is great keep up the great work.

  • Hey Robert i really hope u reply, but if not i don’t care.

    If MW2 was my game, i really want to fix it and make it the best one ever. I’m only saying this because i see so much people angry about this game, i’m saying MW2 is the best online experience i ever had, no one can beat MW2, so please fix this game, i mean this game has so much potential to became the best online shooter.

    My feedback:
    -Fix commando, one man army, noobtubes, weapons not silenced.
    -Edit Barebones to disable perks and attachments pleaseee!!!!

    MW2 has broken all records of sells and i mean its your game!
    I really want to make MW2 the best game ever, so if you need more suggest by me just add me at twitter: thalas28

    Thanks for reading…

    • Thanks for the feedback VooDoo_94 (I also saw your tweet about this comment). We’re looking into tweaks to OMA to balance it when using noobtubes. I’ll keep you posted on that updates progress.

      Barebones Pro is intended to be a haven away from killstreaks, not perks or attachments. That would be just Barebones. Which I know is a demand among the community, but probably something that won’t make it into MW2 due to limitations. However, something great for future feedback and games.

  • Hey there! Long time camper here (suck it, losers). Enjoy most aspects of MW2 (and MW…). Having a new issue where the match no longer migrates to a new host. When someone quits, the thinking screen comes up, then black screen, then lobby. Most often occurs when there’s players from multiple countries in the lobby, since this last title update.

    My second issue; why do I get thrown in with South Americans and Europeans? In the same match? Is this a PSN thing (global connectivity, etc) or something else? (Mind you, I have nothing against South Americans or Europeans, but I’d rather tick a Texan off defending a section of the playing field instead of getting completely obliterated with a <150mS ping playing against guys out of Brazil.

  • hey im wondering if u guys are gonna bring back the 12 player mosh pit. My friend and I were playing the other day and ended up playing team tactical. Almost 100% of the time we were three people going against four. we still beat em though, but it was tough. Another thing i missed about mosh pit is that it had free for all, where unlike barebones, there is no boosting involved.

  • Hey Robert!

    I was wondering if we are gonna see some more Snipers and Perks in the future for MW2? I’d Love to see the Druganov online, and also how about making online playing a tad more accesible.

    For example, have you played Warhawk? I think it would be cool if in a private match if we can play Splitscreen online you know what i mean? Like my cousins have MW2, and so do i, so i think it would be cool for me and my brother to play against my cousin and his brother splitscreen online ya know?

    Hopefully i didnt confuse you! Thanks man! take care!!!

  • i love mw2 but G/L’s are gettin a bit rediculous…as for new ideas if u are making a 3rd map pack do something diff this time…i think u should make a map on a space station or something we need something new and fresh

  • Please,

    Could you please make it when a teammate kills any fellow teammate 5 times or less in a row on hard core have that player get booted?

  • What happens to MW2 after COD blackops comes out? I know you guys were undermanned after the west/zampella exodus, will the game still be seriously supported after blackops comes out?

    • The release of Black Ops (Treyarch) has no impact on the support of Modern Warfare 2 (Infinity Ward). Their release schedule doesn’t impact our productivity. However, I’m sure updates will be less frequent if required by that point.

  • I want a refund for Resurgence. I continue to be dropped in GAMES THAT ARE ENDING WITHIN 1 MINUTE. Also, MOST GAMES ARE IN FUEL.

    FUEL IS HORRIBLE! How can a company release a DLC realizing that their CONTENT has an OPEN HACK?!?!?!? This ROCK THING is b.s. and pathetic.

    We all should get a partial refund for wasted time and money on a game we wanted to enjoy.

    This sucks.

  • I see the weapons in mw2 are american i.e the m4 and barret 50 cal, french famas, ak47 russian , p90 belgian, but hey why didnt they include an british sa80 or the new L1 sniper rifle, surely these weapons alone would do enuff damage…. Bring new weapon packs out f:;@kers

  • Sony why should I buy PSN plus when MW2 isnt even able to update the playlist with the new maps after 6 days!!! yes 6 days its going to be a week tomorrow!! XBOX got an update 1 or 2 days after the release. PSN australia got the maps integrated from day 1. IS it time to switch console or maybe jump in the BFBC2 wagon?

    Im just glad the pack was given to me at no cost or I would be really dissapointed right now.

  • Oh – Camos For The Secondary Weapons Would Be BAD ASS! I Get Almost As Many Secondary Weapon Head Shots Than Several Of My Primary Weapons! However, I Do Understand That The Programming Would Be To Much For Us To See In MW2 – But Perhaps In The Future?

    Fall Camo SPAS-12 or Gold Desert Eagle… Yes Please! :-)

  • Microsoft and activision made a deal so 360 would get dlc first for three years.

    Take notice how Robert Bowling is only answering questions about map and not talking about real problems.
    host migration is terrible, too many glitches, $15 for 3 new maps?
    I hope treyarch doesn’t screw up like IWard did

  • I’m getting hacked off with all the comments regarding price and functionality on the MW2 DLC’s. If you don’t want to pay the price, stop complaining, and as far as functionality is concerned, put up or shut up! End of….. This is the best game to date on PS3.

  • I Was Wondering If There Was Any Way Of Fixing The Leader boards Because I Want To Know What My Skills Are Compared To Real Players. Not All Those Hackers.

  • all of the new maps need to be on team death match i hate playing demo and flag ETC. please.

  • please please take care of the hackers,cheaters,lag switchers , glichers. This is bull crap. im going to break the game before i buy this POS maps.

  • Why cant you make these available to people who bought on one console so can work on both ps3 an xbox360, i paid £20+ for both on xbox but now i have ps3 and i do not want to spend another £20+ on the same things, might aswell buy a dif game at that price

  • Ohh an not forgettin that even tho microbot gets dlc 1 month early, i still prefer a ps3 all frickin day long , activision sold out , gone pop rather than stayin underground if u catch my drift

  • It would be easier for us NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR THIS CRAP if we had known there would be SO MANY PROBLEMS with it.

    We purchased it in good faith that it would be great like previous COD / DLC releases.

    After learning of its crappy problems, we cannot be given a refund since we have it already.

    Certainly telling us to shut up isn’t assisting the problems. Holding customers accountable for failed software and inappropriate purchase policies is ridiculous.

  • ok u think maybe you can delay noob tubes at the beginning of every round on hardcore searchNdestroy its been really over abused on the fact that we have to look up in the air N try to dodge noob tubes. it destroys the strategy of hardcore searchNdestroy you know how theres a delay on your killstreak use. you should delay noob tubes also for 10 sec. to really give the mw2 gamers with talent a better chance then watching from the side line. lol. wath about new killstreaks can you think of newer N exciting killstreaks that can be of better use than attack heli……and gets 1or2 kills N bye bye birdy.HA! 1 more thing that you shoud take a look at is being able to carry any type of launcher with the cold blooded perk i understand its an advantage but just like OMA it takes secondary away. plus people still take out air support without cold blooded………….well anyways both map packs totaly worth my money but il like the resurgence map pack better…..bring out more maps from cod4 like ambush or crossfire

  • aw, why delete my comment? did it hurt your feelings?

    We’re consumers just the same as 360 players. So why do we get this late? Is this how you show us thanks for supporting you? A late, overpriced map pack?

  • Please bring Old School back. The crazy knife people are also a bit annoying >.<. That is all!

  • Hey Bearsharktopus

    Infinaty Ward cant pick when it comes out on PSN store sony do and they picked then it came out on Xbox Live first because microsoft picked that time to put it on Xbox Live

  • I would like to see the old Headquarters match type like the one from COD4.

  • In my previous blog I meant it should be like COD5 for the map packs. TDM for only the new boards in the map pack, so you don’t play older boards. It was very popular for COD5. After I got the map pack I only played the TDM for them.

    I figure the random game option for the map packs is a ploy to get more people to try the other types of game modes….but we’ve all played those game modes and we like what we like (TDM!)

  • im 10th prestige didnt hack and i finished all the prestige challenges and i still didnt get the spinning skull emblem.does anyone know how to get it.

  • To all the haters, if you don’t like the game then move on. Go play the games you enjoy & don’t come back.

    Remember a ton of people still love & play this game daily.

    Robert tell everyone at IW that the 2 map packs are awesome, totally worth the money. Please don’t stop, we want more maps. If you do another map pack you should include the Airplane level from the end COD4 for Spec Ops mode. Trying to clear that plane with 2 people would be rad.
