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!
Why you are the only one in the gaming industry to use “creative strategist” and not “communauty manager”?
please block the following hacks:
Aimbot, SpeedHack, 10th Presitge Hack,

can u make another dlc with new guns new maps cod 4 maps and better patches for the fuel rock glitch and for tactical insertions and for one man army noob tubes
Robert Bowling | July 12th, 2010 at 10:45 am
I’ll keep the MP team aware of the need to block joins all together for hopeful inclusion in the future patch.
An option to close a party/private match lobby would be awesome.
I think its time this patch comes out, the sooner the better….
I hate to play on a Sniper Lobby when suddenly an idiot joins out
of nowhere and starts to noob tube…
So, my questions is, do you have a date of when this patch will come out?
When you play campaign, some guns sound a lot different (Better in my opinion) as well as function differently (Better, as well).
Not to mention there are more guns in Campaign than there are on multiplayer. What was the reason for not including all of this in multiplayer?
Game is so bugged I cant bring myself to buy another map pack.
You pay U$ 15,00 bucks for 3 new maps, the same money you could buy two or mores games at PSN, and guess what? A few months from now, there will be a new Call of Duty. And then they will release more map packs, which will include favorites from MW1 and MW2. And everyone will pay again for the same maps, over and over again.
By the way, CoD is garbage, but Treyarch will release a even worse CoD, like all the other they developed.
Thanks, but I`ll pass. Bad Company 2 is decades ahead of MW2. BC2 is the kind of game that demands team play. Not like MW2 that only one good player is enough.
I got tired of nuking the enemy team, using only my knife, because using weapons as no fun at all.
Dear Stelthy…
look if you patch only OMA all the noob tubers are just gonna use scavenger to resupply their tubes, i know you dont want to mess with the perk system but it needs to happen. Just make it take up the first perk slot please, and do the same for RPGs, AT4s, ect. Danger close needs to be toned down too, i mean really all you have to do is get a couple of multis with a launcher and then your predator missle is on steriods. Way overpowered.
P.S. Bring Gobal Thermonuclear War, i got into a lobby and honestly it was the best time ive ever had in MW2. Bring Arena too
How about changing the color of the damage indicator from red (the same color as the blood on the screen). I can never tell where im getting hit from til its to late.
robert bowling can u do sumting about the grenade launchers taking up the 1st perk
Robert,
With all due respect, I will be extremely upset if you guys change OMA and the grenade launcher. Ever since the game came out it has been this way. There are ways for gamers to counter it besides changing it altogether. If you change OMA, you have to change the amount of teleport that Commando Pro does. Then you have to appease the players that complain about people using Scavenger. When will it end!? The game is fine as is. People complain because they don’t want to have to change their playing style and/or loadout to compensate for it.
The only things that need to be fixed are obvious bugs/glitches. One of those being that even if you’re using Ninja Pro, people with heartbeat sensors still see you. That has been happening since the game was released and nothing done about it. And it’s NOT just a glitch with the Killcam. It actually shows up on the players heartbeat sensor. Please don’t discount it, look into it more closely.
Thank you.
Garbage game is garbage.
Hey 402
A few suggestions-
1. Make a whole entire section for HARDCORE and REGULAR( is that the name?) So it can have more game modes. ( CTF, Mosh Pit, etc.)
[Just like in WORLD AT WAR]
2. Change the ACOG sight back to the way it was in CoD4
3. One flagged CTF- One CTF flag in the middle.
4.Option to record a game W/o a dazzle
5. Make an option to where you can make it so you dont spawn out of your Tactical Instertion.
Ex: Press Square to spawn out of TI, Press X to cancel
This eliminates the spawn camping of my tactical insertions
Thanks and i hope you consider these

fix the glitch,give use opportunity to kick hagg games from cheater and boosters then give use KILL HOUSE from MW1 so people cant test there skill. one more ? look at my rap sheet from mw1 on the xbox and mw2 now. wtf im getting own. also fix this dumb cant kill me glitch. i mean im right next to dude and he aint moveing, perfect head shoot . what the hell the bullet didn’t get him still it just pass him huh? dude turn around , im dead , WTF FREAKING HAGGGG GAME glitch.
Some questions regarding third person:
1) Any chance we can get a second playlist? There were 2 when the game shipped and we’re down to one now. Granted I didn’t care for cage match and was glad to see it go, but a second one would that isn’t 1v1 would be awesome.
2) 8 of the original 16 maps are available for third person – any chance we can get the other 8 in third person maps? What was the reason for leaving them out?
3) Any chance we could get 6v6 or even 8v8 in third person? A lot of people don’t want to play third person because their parties include more than 4 people.
I really think you guys could hit a homerun with the third person games if you just expanded the options a little bit. Anyways, keep up the good work and can’t wait to see the new maps in third person tomorrow!
also im not a fan boy but own both 360 and slim will ask 3 ps3 60,cloud, and slim and both wii white and black.
when are the resurgance maps gonna be in the free for all rotation? I payed for the maps and wanna play them in free for all give me what I payed for.
I like the new Barebone gametype but the n00btube still sucks. I think you need no skill to frag someone with this weapon. Why do you guys at IW thought it is a good idea to keep this attachment on every rifle cause everyone playing online hate it.
I think you guys should organize the Playlists the way Treyarch did in World at War. They had a “Core” section, a “Hardcore” section, and a “Map Pack” Section. I don’t know, I think that makes it look a lot more organized.
Any news on a non grenade launcher playlist?
Dear Robert,
Welcome back to the PS blog! Us who still play MW2 really enjoy hearing from people who work hard for the awesomeness they create. (Especially Infinity Ward //^_^) I have a few questions-
Any chance of bringing back Old School Mode?? I LOVED playing Michael Myers from COD4!!!! Secondly, tell Infinity Ward, on behalf of me (supersaiyan500)i send them a big hug. You guys don’t deserve the “meltdown” ACT. caused you. Just stay united with the remaining IW employees, and you’ll be alright.
P.S.- I hope you don’t get sentimental :’)
Hey Robert,
I have a suggestion for some new playlists. It’s a bit long but it may be a good idea.
When you go to search for a game you should have a list of all the game types, like normal, but when you hit a game type lets say ffa. Another screen will pop up giving you a list of options for example, you can chooses between Regular FFA, Hardcore FFA, Barebones FFA, Stimulus FFA, and Resurgence FFA, Express FFA. You could do this for all game modes.
Just a suggestion please think about it.
Thanks,
Payterw8
i wish people would quit nagging about the gameplay on MW2. its the way the game is. get over it. could you please tell the developers that host migrations are a real bad problem for us. i hate that i get a killstreak going and then a migration comes and kicks me from the game. please do something about this.
Hey Robert, it’s cool that you’re doing this! I have some suggestions and comments for ya! I’ll try to keep out the frequent ones.
Suggestions:
1) MORE SPEC OPS! We all have real life friends, and Spec Ops is the best way to have fun co-op with them. It feels like you guys only cater to the online players and that’s it. (Some only have Satellite net) Plus, it’ll make the DLCs more worth $15.
2) I think a menu/sub-menu system for playlists would be awesome, but seems like it would be hard (but I’m no expert) Ex: Click on Ground War and you get options for ALL the play modes, not just TDM and Dom.
3) How about a way to vote to migrate hosts? I’ve played too many games where it was completely laggy due to the host, then it finally migrates when the game was almost over. Get the majority of votes, and it’ll migrate.
4) Also, fix the Predator Missile/Host Migration problem, please. I have lost about five Predator Missiles due to this. I go into the missile’s camera then it migrates host. It goes back to the countdown to start the game and you watch, helplessly, as the missile hits the ground causing no damage. Can’t stand it.
I hope you read this and take these into consideration, and, best of all, respond. Thanks! :)
oh i forgot. i think this is a good idea that me and some friends came up with. to get rid of the noobtube problem we think if you switch 10 kills for Grenade Launcher with 300 kills for Full Metal Jackets. this would make it harder to noobtube with the default class and for people to One Man Army with Danger Close. of course then we would have to deal with Stopping Power w/ FMJ. oh well. we’ll get over the Stopping Power w/ FMJ. please consider this
Playlist question. Is it possible for a future playlist of Team Deathmatch for map packs only? Like one having just the maps from the Stimulus and Resurgence packs only in the playlist.
The mixed playlist is cool but can you guys do like a tdm dlc playlist also.
is it possible to consider combining resurgance pack with the stimulus pack with all game types available as before with stimulus pack, that would be outstanding. if not, is it possible to bring back the stimulus pack as it was before? thanks
is there a way that you can reset hackers back to the prestige they were before they hacked? i hate that none of us legit players get any glory or any recognition because too many people hack. please makeit to where you can’t set tactical insertions around enemies. this would help with the boosting problem ALOT.
As a playlist update, i’d like to see people able to select the gametype they want to play in, in random gametypes, like team tactical. If you press A or X on it, over on the right side, it will show game types and also an option to keep it random… CTF was my favorite game type, I’d like to play it a bit more often.
Would play it but you made us wait to long with dumb choices and favoring xbox. Now no one even cares and plays other games that don’t make u wait a whole month for an overpriced dlc with only five maps, including two 3 year old maps that we already had. Thanks Robert everyone on playstaion sure loves u!!! (not)
ok here it is its not that they are favouring microsoft its activision that made the deal since they are publishing they can make deals so for the next four years call of duty map packs will be coming out 4 xbox first which I think is really unfair also map pack pricing is way too high also I want too see some non explosive playlists to get rid of noob tubes.
after downloading these new maps, i’ve been constantly being booted out of the PSN network. After a minute or so, the network allows me to log back in. This happens very often. Several times a night. I want to play online, but i get booted out of games (3 out of 5 games).
btw, maps aren’t getting rotated enough.
one more suggestion, we should have an option for party chat (not team) using headsets in all play styles.
also heres a link to this article to get your info righhttp://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/64262
I have a way you can even out OMA and Tubes, just do like you did in the first MW and make the grenade launcher take up the first Perk, that way if there tubing they cant have OMA, its just a thought, but i think it will work.
You should also make a lobby with no perks, that would be fun.
I love the new maps by the way, well worth $15 Dollars.
-Thank you
also fourzerotwo what are you guys doing about registered owners codes?
hey rob i have a simple and easy solution for oma and scavenger…. make it to where you can only switch classes with oma once per life regardless if you switch to another oma class… and forcing them to switch to a completely different class would be a plus too (like going from assault rifle to sub machine or sniper) and about scavenger make it to where it doesnt refill ammo on attachments… there simple fixes that will help game play… and make it harder to shoot the tubes… it was never this easy to get a tube kill in cod 4
Robert, a couple things here that i hope u can fix and agree:
1)some of the weapons are not aligned (example, the MG4) and it becomes a problem because when i try to get headshots it never shows that i got one, and the iron sights are right on the head.
2)some weapons with silencers show u on the enemy radar(example, again the MG4).
3)the OMA and scavenger perk makes noob tubers gain unlimited amounts of noob tubes. how about taking away the 1st perk like u did in COD4?
4)host migration is becoming really crappy. for example, when the host leaves, the game gives it to a person who has a horrible connection and everyone has to suffer that person’s laggy connection. is there a way to fix that?
5)Make choosing a map in a playlist easy to pick for people. Dont understand what i’m saying here? Let’s say that im online right now and i choose the Team Deathmatch playlist. what i also want to do in that playlist is choose the map that i want to play on, instead of letting the game choose a random map for me.
thank you for your time

What IW should include in their next patch is, to lower the damage, and range of the grenade launcher because im tired of people calling it a “noobtube”, also, decrease the speed of the bolt action weapons when reloading, and when you look through the scope, so theres no “hardscoping”, “quickscoping”, or “no scoping”. And maybe some vehicles from the singeplayer? It wont be as good as BC2, but hey, a new experience in CoD. Also, maybe a change in game modes. This is my idea, 2 modes: “Run and Gun”, and “Tactical Gameplay”. In Run and Gun, players play the usal style of MW2, and in the Tactical Gameplay mode players that like to be tactical can play tactically with other players. Just my ideas to make MW2. Thanks
also, any chance that you will make the map packs free after a while, or at least drop the price to $10? Bungie did it with a couple of map packs on Halo 3. And your probably saying “how does that guy know that? He has a PS3?” it’s because i used to own an xbox 360.
thanks again
-Nathaneal16
New Maps are great.(Love Carnival) And to those of you out there, if $15 is too much for you too afford, maybe you shoulda got a nintendo. The game plus to map packs for about $90 is a pretty good deal considering how often ive played and ive only got about 13 days played on MW2, which is nothing compared to others out there. 4 things i got ask/say: 1.So any chance of some new guns? ive killed people with every gun available, and it would be cool to try some new weapons (cant be that hard to throw in) 2. Theres a difference between camping and sniping. 3. Somebody had a good idea switching the kill count to obtain the GL with FMJ. 4. Did you guys just throw in the towel when it came to fixing our leader boards and penalizing hackers? ok now im off to play hardcore team deathmatch :)
I have a good question MANY people would like to know….Will there be a OMA/Grenade Launcher balance fix in the new update? Thank You for giving your time, Robert.
Robert I’ve already played the new maps on Xbox and I LOVED THEM:) However thinking I had enough money already in the PSN Store I found out I was $3 short of buying the Resurgence:( & I have no extra money to go buy a $20 PSN card and my dad won’t let me use the credit card..Please Help?!?
When will the leaderboards be fixed? Can you please tell me if they’ll be fixed or not because i play alot just to be ranked high man. So please a yes or no answer of if you guys gave up on them- PLEASE REPLY ROBERT
will infinity ward be adding other maps after resurgence map pack and will there be new guns to the online multiplayer.
This is probably the most interesting thread i’ve seen posted on this blog. Kudos to Robert for responding well to comments, and shame on people demanding IW change the game just becuase they don’t like a few aspects of the online play. If you keep getting tubed then put on blast shield and go get ’em up close and personal.
how do you and iw plan to fix grenade launcer abuse?
i actually agree with alot of the comments i see about adding new guns maybe some new challenges weaken the scar a bit very strong gun OHHHHH maybe a no explosives game mode you know like maybe a team death match N/E kinda interesting idea seeings everyone complains about the noobtoobs and rockets just some ideas i have i have alot more
i like the maps but theres alot of places to camp thats why i dont like it to much
