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.
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.
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!
hey just wanted to say I’m glad to hear that you guys are working on a fix for the overkill use of OMA noob tubing because it’s a real pain to try and move around when you get tubed all the time. Also I saw that you mentioned you would be doing more updates for MW2 and was just wondering are you going to be coming out with any new DLC for MW2 or are you guys done with that?
just wanted to add to my above comment that I would love to see Old School in MW2
Everyone now feels like snipers, cus the intervention is powerful and you can do auto-aim. Is this is normal? cus i don’t like it. But I’m just wondering if this is like things should be.
Hey Robert I love the maps but I have a question. Will you please and i mean please consider to make a cod4 playlist that has cod4 killstreaks with no perks and the exception of attachments! By doing this you will bring soooooo much relief and hope to the community and mw2 will gain the respect that it deserves!
YAY…now i get my turn. i know the idea of a Beta has been thrown down the tube by activision. but there is a reason it should be not only an idea on the shelf, but necessary. no one knows what exploits people will come up with…people with no skill have to level the playing field from people that can game well somehow…and they are pathetic for it. but then it gets worse. people download hacks that change the game flow…seeing through walls, aim-bots, and the sorts…why is it that you cant deal with people that cheat by removing them from the game, banning the isp for a period of time, or even bricking their system to your game. its not just PC, its PS3, and Xbox as well. that is my biggest complaint.
another thing is the overt racism. no matter what is going on, ones sexual orientation or race ALWAYS comes into context and has come to the point where i just mute the room asap. i am of mixed race and it has started to bother me. how does activision follow up on complaints via psn or from the activision website? do they just ignore them…cause thats what it seems to me.
Can you make it possible to choose to take away the auto aim from the start menu? And, can you please make a playlist, where there is no deathstreaka? Painkiller is annoying me so much…
Hey Robert Bowling,
Will Global Thermo-Nuclear War be included in a future playlist? I’ve played it in a private match once & it was amazing. Not sure if you’re familiar with it (But I’m sure you are since it was hacked in the game). Basically there is a neutral Nuke on the map and you have to capture it sorta like you capture a flag in Search and Destroy. Once your team hits 100 points someone captres the Nuke and it is used.
Let me know if we’ll be seeing it. Thanks
I’m glad you’re answering some questions, 402. Just that you actually is here make, at least me, very pleased. Means you do care! :)
I wonder why it is not optionable if players can join session or not in private matches on PS3, but it is possible on 360.. Is it because M$ pay for some small exclusives in-game too?
And btw: Do you ever ragequit? xD Haha :D
First, MAG is worse than Socom: confrontation.
Second, there are way to many campers on MW2, it is not a skill, it’s just a way for those who suck at the game to feel like they accomplished something while online. i have 2 accounts at 10th prestige and i laugh when some punk camping kid kills me 1 time and thinks he’s a badass when his team still loses by 4000 points. Quit camping people, actually get out and play the game. Maybe one day you too can achieve a K/D of 3.11, but it won’t happen by camping. Anytime i’m the host i kick people for camping. It’s no fun having to hunt people who just hide in corners cause their scared to die in a video game.
hey fourzerotwo can you please bring back cage match but make first person because i really enjoyed matching up with my friends and going 1v1 with them for real. also please take the TI and the HB sensor out of the game and maybe lighten up the claymore so they detect you when you are a half mile away and blow up and kill you. Infact make claymores half to be detonated by remote just c4. thankyou
i have an interesting game mode. Each team is designated a captain. If you die and the captain is still alive you respawn. if your captain dies and the rest of your team dies after, you loose that round. How about a game mode like that.
oopps Robert in my last post I FORGOT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE CLAYMORE. i MEANT PLEase lighten up on it do it will not detect you a half mile away and kill you. Just make it like cod4 claymores.
how about equal oppurtunity for us PlayStation owners…
Put that DLC out at the same time for both consoles…
for them to do that they’d have to make all equipment a first perk and take out scavenger actually thats not a bad idea then their wouldnt be so many noobtubers do it IW make it like cod4
these maps were way better than stimulus pack maps.i spent 15 bucks on these maps and i’m not dissapointed
hey Robert is there any chance that we could see the rest if not a few weapons from CoD4 make a come back in MW2 in either dlc or an update. I really miss using the m14, ak74 and scorion etc :(. I would definitly buy that in a heart beat and it would sure make the gameplay more refreshing . OH yeah and bring back the sniper rifles too the dragonov, r700, and and the first sniper rifle from cod4 (cant remember da name) please put those in mw2 they were great
thanks for answering so many questions and is there any chance that barebones will also remove perks and attachments in the future
hey robert why won’t u tell us how to get the spinning skull emblem??? no need to keep it a secret lol.
Hey robert
could you sort out privacy for PS3 PRIVATE MATCHES and sort the fuel glitch with the rock.
Resurgence Package Rules!!!
will there be a map pack 3
Please bring back “Capture the flag”! How can you have three “Team Deathmatch” playlists but remove “Capture the flag”?
Wish I could reply to your replies…Thanks, that is all I need every now and again, confirmation that you guys know there is something wrong and you are working on fixing it. I think it is fair that you expect us to wait for it (these things don’t happen over night right heh). Thanks for the answer, appreciate it, and I look forward to some changes for the better :) .
How about some white house/America maps rob. Also what happened to heavy weather maps you promised like a blizzard. Please respond
Not sure what promise you’re referring to. If it was pre-launch, it was most probably in reference to the Cliffhanger mission in Single-player.
