Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Map Pack Breaking the Bank Again

Friday, May 14, 2010

Modern Warfare 2

Oh wow another Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map pack DLC titled Resurgence Package and they are regurgitating old maps again according to IGN. The map pack will consist of three new maps and two old maps from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Oh and it gets better, $14.99 (1200 MS points) for the map pack, way too expensive again.  Why can’t Infinity Ward be as cool as Bungie and have map packs for $5 and not recycle maps from previous games?

The three new maps include Carnival, Trailer Park, and Fuel. The two old maps are Strike and Vacant. Carnival will be a huge map littered with funhouses, roller coasters, and bumper cars in an old amusement park giving advantages to snipers. Trailer Park is the living quarters for the people who run Boneyard, which will be displayed in the background, will be a maze like area filled with many choke points and tight corridors. Fuel will be a unique map taking place in an oil refinery that will be split into two parts. One half will be wide open for snipers and the other half will consist of a warehouse with tight corridors. The two old maps, Vacant is a wide open Russian complex and Strike is an urban town. No word yet on how they will, if they are, changing up the old Strike, but it would be nice if they change the weather environment or time of day settings. Vacant will be getting new details and visuals, which isn’t anything special. We want more for our money.

The Resurgence Package will be available for download on the Xbox360 June 3rd. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that it won’t crash itself in a blaze of glory again, or cause a system wide crash. But hey, if Microsoft allows another crash and gives another 7-day LIVE membership then the price of the DLC won’t be that steep.

    look… your not forced to buy the map packs. if you play the game enough to where you are almost begging to play on new maps then $15 to extend the life, fun, and excitement of the game isn’t bad at all. if you want bungie prices go play HALO. this is a way better game with detailed graphics and far more places to go inthe maps then halo provides. thats why it’s $10 more then bungies.

    @mw2 player: I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I believe you are one of the few people who “loves” giving away $15 for “new” content, when two of the maps are old. However, if record numbers of people would stop handing over $15 for DLC and let us stick to the norm of $5 DLC or so, the developers and publishers wouldn’t charge such absurd prices. But who knows, maybe “your” right.

    @Dustin,

    first and foremost – lol – and secondly, I agree with “you’re” (see? hah) statement about developers charging more for DLC lately and it’s really up to us if we want to continue this increase in price of the DLC we get. I for one, would only pay more than $10 for a DLC, if it’s really some kind of expansion (such as DA:O Awakening)

    Lmao. I just had to comment. @modernwarfare player is obviously a child and doesn’t get it.

    Also got “than” wrong.

    Were all doomed. Next step, 20 dollar map packs and monthly fees to play the game on top of live and our isp.
