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!

  • witch map pack is better this one or the first one?

    • I personally enjoy the Resurgence Package the most so far, as it has some of the most unique maps we’ve ever created. Carnival being a prime example, plus I really enjoy the changes we made to the COD4 maps like Strike and Vacant.

  • mw2 is old

  • I’d just like to take a moment to point out that there are a lot less “10-year-olds” playing online games than people seem to think. There are 40-year-olds doing childish things online, with a 20-year margin-of-error for thousands of others. All the same, I know there are children out there playing super-M-rated games and it always troubles me. I wish more parents would take the time to look at the parental controls on their PS3s.

  • the this 1 cause its new and updated bych

  • the new 1 cuase its new and updated bych

  • @48

    Be nice.

  • naaa

  • Love the new maps. Got them on both consoles, really good value for money. Just hope IW continues to support the game through patches and more DLC.

    My question: Any news or feed about OMA changes and other fixes (silencer bugs)? Plus, there’s currently a bug revolving around flash bangs – where they don’t flash.

    Thanks – CourtRoom.

    • Hey CourtRoom –

      We’ll continue to do playlist updates, so suggestions on what you’d like to see are always welcomed. As for patches, we do have another one planned that will address the abuse of OMA (via noob tubes) and other things. Of course, once thats finalized and I have all the details I’ll post them for you to see (www.twitter.com/fourzerotwo is always a good place to keep updated).

  • An update on Monday? Groovy.

  • Why do you guys even bother? So nice that you think of all your fans at one time in getting your content, oh wait.

  • Fix Commando, Fix Noob Tubes. Work out a better way to connect to hosts as UK connection rates are too low. Bring back Mosh Pit. You really messed up, as that was the only game mode I played

    The maps are ok but bring them into the regular playlists.

    • Thanks for the feedback, Mosh Pit may make a return in future updates based on feedback. It was chosen for replacement by Bareboens due to it being one of the lowest played modes. However, if demand is there, It’ll return. Although Resurgence and Barebones playlists are both variants of a mosh-pit style playlist.

      Perhaps a Hardcore Mosh Pit would be a nice addition as well? As for Tubes, we’re looking into another OMA update that will prevent the abuse of them.

  • I purchased this download July 6. Why is Sony only now posting that this is available?

    From my Facebook as proof:

  • MW2 is cool and all, but $15 and NO TROPHIES that’s BLASPHEMY!…

  • when is capture the flag coming back. capture the flag was the best. can you please do an update and bring capture the flag back and drop team death match express?

    • CTF is still available in quite a few playlist rotations, however it may return as it’s own playlist if demand for it is high enough. Currently you can enjoy it in the Objective Barebones Pro and Resurgence playlists as well as others. Thanks for the feedback!

  • When does the resurgence map pack start appearing in normal game modes?

  • I really like this map pack, much better than the first. Carnival is a lot of fun, nice work on that one.

    Any plans to fix the rock glitch in Fuel? Its been there for almost a month.

    How about bringing back the normal mosh pit or working the new maps into a full rotation? I like them, but also would like to play the old maps as well.

    • Thanks! The rock should be updated in the next patch. In addition all maps should be added to regular playlists tomorrow (Tuesday July 13th) morning.

  • I refuse to pay $15 dollars for “new” maps. Played em on the box and they are camper heaven. Sorry fourzerotwo but you must be the camping king to be able to sign off on this game.

  • First of all, this map pack, IMO, is much better then the first. Second, why was it released with the Fuel rock glitch when it was discovered for the xbox a month ago. Third, did you know that the Flashbangs are now broken since the patch/map pack?

    • Thanks! The rock update will be in the next patch. It was a minor fix that wasn’t worth delaying the entire pack (as I’d hope you’d agree). As for Flashbangs, we’re looking into that. It may be a side-affect of some recent changes which we’ll roll-back once confirmed.

  • Man [DELETED] thing ever, I’m short 1$ from buying the map pack and I just came back from vacation and I really wanted to play them, now I can’t :(

  • well there’s a glitch where people are hiding INSIDE a rock on Fuel when can we expect this to be fixed???

  • Some times you can get into a good game and find a good group of players that work together. Then the game rocks. New maps were definitely worth the money. Search and Destroy with a good team, excellent. My pet peeve are the guys that run around with knives or shotguns and that is all they do. Shoot some bullets dumb asses.

  • The second map pack is decent. Though a rock glitch on fuel!? Really Robert, you guys must be doing these things on purpose!

  • Is there going to be a bundle where I can get both map packs at once?? Its better for me to pay for 10 maps instead of two sets of 5 for $30.

  • Fix in game host migration… the game shouldn’t have to migrate hosts within the first 20 second of the match starting, then kick the original host.

  • Barebones pro was a good attempt but it needs to be no killstreaks, no perks and no attachments. That would be a really refreshing gamemode and show true skill.

    Secondly, why is the rate of DLC maps higher in regular playlists (dom, snd). It should be equal for each map…

    • We weighted the new maps so they show up more often so users who paid to play them got a higher chance to actually play them in normal playlists. Opposed to buying them and seeing them rarely (as there are few newer maps than older maps).

  • when are the new maps going to come to the old modes its been 6 days sence the dlc been out

  • Fix the glitches that’s all I have to say, too many are abusing them like rats!

  • @fourzerotwo Is it possible to get In-game music support for mw2? I think it wud be cool to listen to ur favourite playlists while playing mw2
    Please reply : )

  • is there going to be a way for PSN player to make the PM not allowed to join, and there shoud be a mappack mode where you pick MAP PACK and a drop-box appears and you pick the game mode.

  • MW2 is awesome, it never gets old. There’s no game that matches it. Those who complain, just aren’t that good at the game.

    As for the map packs, I love all the new boards but I can’t stand how we don’t have the option to play only team deathmatch on just the new boards. I intentionally back out of games until I play team deathmatch. It’s frustrating when you get into a search and destroy game and have wait 2 minutes to play.

    • We’ll be adding the new maps to all playlists tomorrow, so they’ll be in TDM-only soon. Thanks!

  • hey robert your the best thanks for carnival the feul also have u fixed the flash gernades? and will you please make a game type where theres no perks no kiII streaks plz plz

  • Couple questions.. I haven’t been caught up much on the plans for the game, but are there plans for more map packs? I haven’t even played this one yet but new maps are always nice even if there are glitches here and there. Another question, are there going to be any completely new obective gametypes released? It’d be insanely refreshing to hop into a completely new gametype.

  • Can u make a playlist where you have 1 life like snd, and where the game chooses on player that others must defend in one team, and the other team must go and kill the chosen player.And resurgence was awesome, carnival is the best map.

    • Thanks! What you’re describing is a VIP playlist, where one player is randomly designated as a VIP which needs to be defended by the rest of the team. It’s a cool gametype and I’ll be sure to pass along the suggestion. Glad you’re liking the new maps!

  • Very nice maps, funny, but i think need the options to choose mode, like in the default maps. Because many player don´t play Hardcore, then this player result as campers. if we have the mode choice, this player can play team dead match, or other modes more “easy” for them.

  • Oh, and something’s wrong with flashes and stuns since the last patch. Can you fix it ?

  • Can we please do something about spawn tubing? Is that even possible since its a weapon attachment? I was thinking how killstreaks are disabled within the first 5 seconds. Im just sick of being killed before I can even move from my spawn in hCx search and destroy. I’m enjoying the new maps and would like to see them in rotation ASAP =] I have a job and dont mind paying for some add on content to keep mw2 fresh unlike most of the comments Ive seen here lol.

    PS I find your dorkdom extremely attractive and if you werent married I would proposition you. Too bad :)

  • Bring back cage match. I can’t play any free for all matches anymore because of the boosters.

  • how come you refuse to fix stuff like danger close with oma/scav? they are taking over game modes combined with the noobtube / rpg. i have to leave games because they RUIN it.

    do you know that since the psn update stun grenades (duno about flashs) dont work?

    what about the rock glitch. people just paid an overpriced £11 for these new maps and yet you cant even be bothered to make sure they are glitch free?

    why did you take out mosh pit. me and my friends all got different tastes so we play mosh so everyone plays waht they like. but you took it out for 3rd person team tac. who the hell is going to play 3rd person team tac? this is a FIRST person shooter.

    did you even fix the mg4 and m9 silencers not working? isnt the deagle sights out of line?

    i just dont understand why you would refuse to fix stuff. this is your game, dont tell me you are proud of a game like this.

    IW need to pull their finger out and stop ripping people off. we wont forget this.

    • No refusal here. We have an update in the works now that addressing the abuse of tubes when using OMA that should be in the next patch, same with the rock on Fuel. Regretfully it was located too late to update without delaying the map pack (which no one wanted).

      Mosh Pit was replaced by two variant mosh-pits playlist, but the original one might make a return in future updates. It was chosen due to its low player counts (one of the least played) but we understand there is an audience for it and it may return as I said based on demand and feedback like this.

  • Rock needs to be fixed to make fuel playable. Stuns and flashes need to be fixed to be of any use. Getting rid of hackers would make the leader boards meaningful.

    you owe us at least that.

    now if you would be so kind as to tweak OMA and scavenger to stop explosive spamming, and tweak commando to STOP GIVING A KNIFE THE ADVANTAGE IN A GUNFIGHT, that would just be gravy. maybe would even make MW2 the best game ever.plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplz

  • i bought d add on but i cant play it

    • Have you jumped into the Resurgence Package playlists at the bottom of the list? The new maps are located there, they’ll be in all playlists tomorrow morning.

  • im still playin d old maps

  • And yet, you still miss the point! Instead of pumping out overpriced DLc, take some time to address the many, many issued plaguing this game and making it oft-unplayable. For starters, give us a PROPER barebones playlist; IE, with no perks.

  • Do you know what else we need other than the amazing new maps, new spec ops!!!!!!!! and trophies PLZ!

    See guys online @MW2! lol

  • 1) thanks! this map pack is way better than the first! both are still expensive, though…

    2) barebones mode is nice, but instead of it being available as a “playlist”, wouldn’t be better if we have “switches” that we could turn on/off before searching for a match, in which we could play ANY playlist in this mode (like the way we choose our 3 killstreaks, for example)? also… how about we could turn on/off killstreaks AND perks? thus we would be able to search for a free for all match (as an example) with killstreaks off AND perks off… or any combination of these…

    3) in the same way… couldn’t we choose (again, turning on or off) the maps that we’d like to play, having options to include or exclude regular maps / stimulus / ressurgence? that way we could search for matches (again, on ANY playlist) only between regular maps, or only ressurgence, or any combination?

    4) PLEASE put the ressurgence maps on all playlists!!! it is about time now…

    5) as a final suggestion… why don’t use a feature of “next page/previous page” to put all playlists that u desire on screen, and not having to exclude not a single one (like capture the flag, which now is not available as an exclusive playlist anymore)?

    • Great feedback and suggestions. I agree, that I think a new menu system for future titles is needed with the amount of maps and playlists we offer. It’s not something we’ll probably get a chance to do in MW2 but something that would be great in future projects.

      As for the new maps being in all playlists, that will be done tomorrow morning.

  • hey f***os u ppl r weak red necks

  • Fix the Cod WaW Map pack bundle Price Please

    • I can’t help you there, as I work on Modern Warfare 2 but I will pass along to the relevant people at the relevant company. Thanks!

  • Hey Robert!! Glad you are doing this!!! Question, Is there any talk about bringing Old School mode back?? I’d SOOO pay for this as a add-on!!! I love those crazy physics in COD4, they brought MANY laughs with me and friends!!!

    Also one more, this one is highly unlikely, but how about a recording mode? I have gotten crazy kills online and id wish to show them to my friends or upload em to youtube. Thank you for your time bye!!! :D

    • Old School is awesome, and I’ll make sure its considered when were doing future playlists updates. It’d be interesting to see if there is a demand for it.

      As for a recording feature, it is something I’d like to see in our franchise, but not something that will make it into MW2 at this point regretfully.

  • why is your hosting system so terrible. you made it so we play with people close to us ie europeans with europeans but its worse than cod4. i play cod4 with an american hosting (im european) and never suffer lag.

    why so mw2 always pick a host with a bad connection? my connection is 10x better than my friends but my friend always gets picked to host and everyone is running around with a 1 bar.

  • I cant believe people still play this garbage…

    Bad Company 2 is way better, a more enjoyable online experience and all round better game.

    • That’s the great thing about Playstation, is the huge option of great games for every preference. Lucky, there are millions of players who prefer MW2 and play it daily. To those people, I’m grateful. Of course, it may not be your style of game, which is cool too, but no reason to hate on those who do enjoy it.
