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!
Sorry, but Activision signed a Call of Duty contract that basically said they’re not getting my money for 3 years.
I’d rather play the superior Medal Of Honor games now that it has made a comeback.
ok this map are ok but there to many noobs that camp the hole game there should be some lesson for then they need to now how to play better if the next map pack is the some i might not buy it if its the some
Looks pretty decent, but i haven’t touched MW2 since we lost CTF. That was the only game mode i could stomach. Im not going to spend 15 bucks on something im not going to play anymore.
These maps are perfectly suited to MW2. Could you patch in old weapons and camo like the gold AK47? I would like to see a playlist with killstreaks and the 2 map packs which merges Team deathmatch and Free for all. Finally are there any map packs or add-ons due to be released?
One thing I’d really like to know. How come the SCAR-H and the M1014 Shotgun come with a very low ammo capacity and other guns I might have missed?
Hey Robert,
It would be nice if there would be some nighttime levels in the future, kinda like how COD4 had Wetwork and Chinatown as night levels. I wonder if night levels would appear in MW2, it would bring more strategy to the game.
Robert,
Thanks for participating in answering some of the great questions thrown at you. I enjoy playing MW2, and have some new friends because of the game. Some people out there complain about the newtubes, but i just do my thing out there on the maps and usually win by sticking to a game plan. Tactics will always win.
Thx again.
i want old school back in and as for ideas for classic maps, i want wetwork and shipment. i just think rust shouldnt be the only small stage there so please bring shipment and wetwork
Seeing the Oldschool gametype come back from cod4 would be awesome. Not so much for the insane jumping but more so for the weapon and perk pickups, was kind of hoping thats what barebones would be but yea.
I haven’t yet realized all the changes that have come down the tubes in the last week (Vacation :D) but the loss of CTF is unacceptable, it is one of the two playlists that I enjoyed immensely (please tell me Domination is still around…) and really the only reason I play the game. I guess I’m looking forward to the Barebones game play though.
But I digress, mark me one vote toward the return of CTF to a separate playlist.
Robert, I see a few comments from you about ‘fixing’ and ‘tweaking’ OMA to prevent grenade launcher abuse. I take exception to this.
If you are going to ruin OMA and make it not work as the game intended, then why don’t you guys start tweaking other major hot issues, like commando and overpowered guns like the UMP (especially when people use Stopping power). Maybe you should start tweaking and fixing other obvious abuse potentials like people running around with Marathon, Lightweight and Commando.
I have no idea what tweak you could do to OMA, but I have no doubt it will be ruined once you do. This is just WRONG. If you tweak OMA, then you must tweak all the other perks and things I mentioned as well. Since what OMA does now is no glitch or exploit, it’s what the perk was designed to do!
Using OMA to reload grenades isn’t as bad as most people think. The people who do this are quite vulnerable in close range combat. They have no secondary weapons, and it takes a while to re-load the grenade round when you have some MLC knifer running at you who can knife you from across the room using commando. Not to mention when you use danger close, you cannot use stopping power.
Continued on next reply…
Continued from post 358…
If you nerf OMA, then you MUST nerf the Marathon, lightweight and commando setup as well. Everybody hates the MLC people, and I can honestly say it actually takes more skill to noob tube than it does to run around the map constantly and get knife kills from insane distances. Also stopping power is a major issue as well.. it is overpowered and has no counter. If you guys nerf OMA, then you must put Juggernaut back into the game to counter SP. Because right now Stopping power is so abused it is not even funny. Most people equip this perk because they absolutely have to because everybody else uses it. How is this balanced and OMA grenade launching isn’t?
Seriously Robert, you guys need to stop listening to the people who want OMA nerfed. They simply do not like the competition it gives them when they use their noob setups like MLC or stopping power with the UMP. People only hate it because it stops them in their tracks when they are recklessly run-n-gunning/knife-running. They only want a OMA nerf so they can kill people even easier than they already are.
@13 yeah i agree.
it’s like here they have a tag saying iw but iw is no more they are called respawn, now under ea.
activision needs a wake up call.
i can’t believe what, they did to iw.
i’m not buying or playing another cod game..
how did you decide the order of sniper unlocks? i mean, putting the weaker snipers as a late unlock and the strongest as early unlocks.. not your best choice.
Robert,
You probably noticed all the negative comments. If you would like more positive feed back please release the dlcs at the same time to ALL the systems instead of having xbox getting them first. Many people stopped playing MW2 for this reason. (including me) Also fix rifle grenades to a perk. And if you think about the prices of the dlcs, were really paying for 10 maps which is exactly the same as paying for half of the game. (which is 30$) Atkeast make it cheaper for having us wait an extra month.
Hey Robert, When making the Stimulus and Resurgence map packs, did you intentionally pack one Spetsnaz-TF141 map and one US Army-OpFor map when selecting which COD4 maps would return or did it just happen that way? I’m just asking because I wanted to know if it was possible to bring back Crossfire and Backlot in one map pack or of you would have to span the out over two? (either way is fine with me. The more maps the better if you ask me.) If it does take two DLC packs, may I suggest Backlot/Countdown and Crossfire/Downpour?
Oh yeah, could you follow me back on twitter? the name is flysamurai.
Why does barebones have death streaks? And also instead of just working on OMA with noob tubes also look into scavenger with noob tubes as well. And please fix the host migration because everytime i get booted i get a loss and so does everybody eles.
Hi, i’ve downloaded these maps but after i install it, nothing changed to my bonus map section in the game ??? .
Also the Stimiulus package have the same problem with me
please help me as soon as you can .
I would be very surprised if robert bowling replies to this as he never replies to anything i write but i’ll have ago.
1) You claim that 10th prestige spinning skull emblem is obtainable through normal game play yet only hackers manage to get it and nearly a year on no one knows how to get it legit and finishing all prestige challenges doesnt work cause i have done this.
2) Why cant claymores go off quicker because just because someone has marathon and lightweight on i dont see why they can just run over them if that was the case soldiers in real life would train to be able to do it but i think they might lose their legs ?
3) why cant we vote on which old maps go into the new 1 many people would prefer shipment over vacant?
4) take into consideration your customers opinions please.
OMA does need fixing because certain locations especially on domination can constantly get you multikills from the start of the game its stupid
i agree with vcb187
why cant we choose what cod 4 maps go into the map packs?
Overgrown and Vacant absolutely SUCK!
ahmadtheboss, u need to check the back of ur instruction manual or ur disk, and you’ll see a code like BCE-19049 (ex), then out of the 7 downloadable files, u download the one with the mathcing code
easy as pie
bring back golden gun camo, fall camo sucks red tiger looks better
Capture the Flag time limit is just way 2 short which is why i dont play it maybe if clock limit was 10 mins a half it would be a lot better
can u do something about those darn boosters
nerf. ump. please. at least when its silenced, only a 5 dmg drop is not enough at all.
Robert,
Is there still more mappack comming in the future of is it over??
Carniva is the best map of the Resurgence Pack. It’s designed for objective gametypes and is very detailed. The textures are innovative and compelling, the object of the map are well designed, even the most mundane, as trash with the head of a clown:) Sometimes i attended as a spectatore to a game and i notice, out of the limit of map, many elements that you can not see while playing. But this elements is but these elements were still very detailed. ( for example: The ferris wheel is in motion when you play, but players do not notice it.)
Good Work, I’m very satisfied of this map pack.
Old maps are have been revised and arranged so PERFECT.
@leukoplast
Have you ever tried playing Domination? That mode has been ruined by guys who sit in the back of the maps shooting noob tubes straight up in the air and landing them right down on the capture points.
Just yesterday I was playing Ground War (Domination) on Rundown. As soon as the game started, my team went to capture C, only to have a noob tube land on top of us, killing 4 people. Looking at the killcam, the guy had One Man Army Pro, Danger Close Pro, and some other third perk.
I can’t wait until this is fixed. It would also be awesome if a timer could be put on the grenade launcher, similer to killstreaks, so people can’t spawn tube (like I’ve described above). I think a 15 second timer would suffice.
Thanks Robert for taking the time to answer questions here. MW 2 is an awesome game, and I hope you continue to support the game with future updates.
2.15 out of 5 is what you have on this blog post, and for a good reason. You give this content to Microsoft users first, and expect us to actually care about your game, or your DLC when it finally arrives on PSN way down the road?
Try again. Give us the DLC content on the same day as 360, and fix the bugs and glitches this game has, and perhaps then more people will begin to care. Otherwise, your ratings will continue to drop, your fans will continue to drop, and so will your sales on this platform.
Make a Barebones Search and Destroy, that i would play all the time, no silly killstreaks. They just ruin SnD
why the map pack isn’t part of the PlayStation plus this could be a good idea at least make a sale for PlayStation plus users :)
are there any campers in any of the maps?????????
yes always
When are they mixing in the new maps in normal game modes?
I love this game and i enjoy all the maps
Can you do something with the boosters? Maybe get killed by console after killing the same enemy 6 times in a row seconds after he respawns from his tactical insertion?
Why is so limitated the playlist? why not 2 pages of playlist so you dont neet to delete any kind of game?
Ps3 that is
yo robert i was wandering if you guys ever thought about limiting the grenade launchers and rpgs some how because that all the game seems to be anymore. i love the game but the rpgs and grenade launchers are ruining the game. i also was thinking if you guys would consider getting rid of painkiller i put a 50 cal sniper bullit in this guys head and yet he lives hmmm unrealistic?
Robert, I love the Resurgence map pack, but I’ve gotta say, playing Fuel would be a lot more enjoyable if half the people in the game weren’t just trying to glitch their way into “the rock” half the time >.< I just looked at some of the other comments and noticed you said that a fix for it is on the way, so thank you :D I'm having a fun time playing the maps, especially the cod4 classics. But there's a secret I'm going to let you in on that would make the game as a whole more fun… Nerf Commando so people can't teleport from 20 feet away and stick a knife in my chest while I empty a clip of whatever gun I'm using into them. I guarantee it, nerfing commando would keep me from swapping out MW2 for Battlefield 100% of the time :)
Also, Robert, I noticed in an earlier comment of yours that you are looking into ways to balance OMA grenade launchers… I don’t want them *balanced*. I want them *GONE*. Making it so One Man Army doesn’t replenish the grenade launcher’s ammo seems like a solid plan to me.

I agree 100% noobtubers and campers are ruing the game
Love the game, love the map packs. Never have I bought a game that I play every evening! Appreciate the effort of you guys.
The map packs are great.there really is something in there for everyone. they’re also cool because they’re out of the ordinary. who would have thought you could play at a carnival?
Hello , i really like Carnival and strike , Strike is very good redesigned more color more detailed more alive. Now i can said IW do a good job. But you really need to patch OMA+ Tubes.. And put more power for the Intervention.. About the map packs , Resurgences is the best Pack i have ever seen in Call Of Duty history , really really good design (Patch the Fuel rock glitch ;) ) Amazing job for this pack Infinity Ward.
Hello RB can you guys fix commando plz. Instead of knifing with range can you knife faster please. Or Something else please just FIX COMMANDO!
Why fix it its something that is funny but yeah we hear you..But its better then getting camped and having to deal with the cheaters in this game! This game I think will see its last days all thank to you Activision and you lazy Moderators! And you Robert Bowling! And you know why? You did the same thing exact thing with the last game and ignored us real Call Of Duty true fans and dedicated fans with not fixing the problem! I worry now about Black Ops!… And you guys should’ve add TDM in order with the Double XP weekend! What the heck!
its now Tuesday the 13Th 17:o6 I’m in the UK, and the new maps aren’t in all the playlists! please hurry up I’m bored of playing random games with them. whats going on? when should we expect them?
I’m 82% done with this game no not Veteran on single beat that Special Ops! I hate it! Because every time my friend join’s it is lagging please improve this game on Special OPS..Cause how you expect me to beat this when it is always lagging?.Also walk through videos for Special ops would help as well on the PlayStation Network Robert..But you guys seriously need to make Modern Warfare 2 fun again by having a way to kick out the hacker’s and cheater’s reporting them doesn’t help you need better results then that why make us wait months at a time to get these people kicked off the game?..KICK REPORT OPTION RIGHT AWAY WOULD BE GREAT ROBERT!
dose any one know when the double xp is over i hope not anytime soon but i know im wrong
How much longer will the current double XP event continue? Trying to finish my current prestige and want to know how much time I have left. Love the new maps, much better than Stimulus. S&D on Carnival is my fav.
