Modern Warfare 2 'Resurgence Pack' DLC Map Pack Priced, Detailed
by Alice O'Connor, May 14, 2010 6:20am PDTTwo of the five maps in the second Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map pack, the 'Resurgence Pack,' will be revamped versions of Call of Duty 4 maps, Infinity Ward community Robert Bowling has told Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hyrb.
Call of Duty 4 maps Vacant and Strike will return in renovated form, much as the 'Stimulus Package' MW2 downloadable content brought back Crash and Overgrown.
Bowling reveals the three other maps to be the "desolated amusement park" Carnival--complete with a rollercoaster, world of tomorrow and fun house--the "sniper haven" Fuel and Trailer Park, described as "a maze" with "super tight corridors."
Hitting Xbox 360 on June 3 then PC and PlayStation 3 later, the Resurgence Pack will cost costing 1,200 Microsoft Points ($15). Bowling also notes that "if demand's high we're gonna go right out the gate and have all the maps on all the playlists."
Rumour has it that Wolfenstein and Quake 4 developer Raven has been drafted by owner Activision to work on multiplayer maps for Call of Duty: World at War maker Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops, which is due out on November 9, 2010.

While we are at it, why don't we take those games, and of those ones, how many are cheater infested.
Narrow it down some more, of the above requirements, name any that don't have dedicated servers.
Ah.. Damn. We're already stuck with MW2 being the only one on this list.
You want to name a game that's on the list still that's still worth paying extra money for? Because that took Modern Warfare 2 off my list.
Oh yea. Black Ops is suppose to be out near the end of this year also. That should be great news for all you that are investing $90 into this game, which is fueled by the profit of delayed banning. I will stick to the games that are actually worth buying: CoD4, and BFBC2.
Games haven't been really resilient to inflation. Just before the next gen consoles, games cost $50, when they were released, the first games you could buy were $60. I could logically pay $70 for a game, but why do that when BFBC2, has better graphics, better game play, dedicated servers, very few cheaters (And admins to ban those that exist), AND only cost $50 (Was released after MW2, so that shoots the competitive market idea.)
Activision has just hit the wall with this game.

It's not about enjoying the game or getting what these maps worth, but these maps could be like 15 minutes - 1 hour worth of work, plus the 'imported' maps from MW1. Independent mod/map makers could make better maps with tools (if its given) and I am absolutely sure they are worth playing and better designed than these maps, plus they are free.
If you want to talk about money, there are OMGWTFTONS of other games (multiplayer, singleplayer, mixed, etc) that are CHEAPER than $15 and you can get your time and money well spent with these kind of games....
I dont get it.

$10 I'm ... ok with honestly .... I bought the dlc's for Borderlands and the GoW stuff....
but $15 for 5 maps? How about --- no.
Problem is ... while we are smart and will not be buying, there's a ton of lemmings out there =(

When Bowling says they're going to have all the maps on all the playlists does that mean, in Halo style, I won't be able to play unless I have all the maps?
