Activision and studio Infinity Ward will release a second map pack for the first-person shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on June 3 for the Xbox 360.

The Resurgence Pack will feature five maps, says a statement from the publisher. The statement did not say when the DLC will be available to PC and PlayStation 3 owners.

The first downloadable content for the game, Stimulus Package, was available on Xbox 360 in late March and arrived roughly a month later on PC and PS3.

Infinity Ward will also host two weekends where players can earn double the experience points in multiplayer: May 28 and June 4.

Stimulus Package, a pack of five maps which sold for $15, was a huge success for the publisher, selling 2.5 million downloads in the first week.

Will you be buying?
 
Looks like the not so fake Jeff Gerttsman E3 line up might be more real than we think.

Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling confirmed that the two old maps from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to return will be Vacant and Strike. The three new maps confirmed for the DLC are known as Trailer Park, Carnival and Fuel.

Trailer Park is seen as a “super condensed” map, cutting through abandoned trailers and is pretty much “a maze”, according to Bowling. Carnival is a daytime map and a “decimated amusement park”, full of rides you’d tend to expect there like fun houses and rollercoasters.

The final map is called Fuel, which is a “sniper haven”, full of wide open space in an oil refinery and is “completely unique” from other maps in the Resurgence pack.

Bowling didn’t state a price for the pack in the interview with Nelson, but expect it to be $15 (1200 MS points) like the Stimulus Package.

One negative to the map packs I dont like is (dont know on MW2 because I bought the map pack straight away) that it breaks the match making. So while new maps are great it puts the total cost of the online experience very high. I mean, are they going to continue to release map packs at this rate? if so its going to get very pricey for the total experience.....which if you going to play online you'll be crippled without.

I know I'm whining :p

Didn't buy the first one, doubt i'll buy this one either. I, like the majority of the people i play with, would rather they fixed the matchmaking system amongst other things before sponging more money from the community.

Will be taking advantage of the double xp however.
 
It's crazy, they only released the other map pack not so long ago and a stab at £12! And now they are releasing another one again, a stab at £12!

Not a MW2 fan myself, kinda got put off by all the glitches the game is riddled with. Just proves what money grabbers they are as they know the die hard MW fans are gonna pay it.
 
Too expensive for me. Would like both packs, but £10.20 each, I'd rather pay an extra £9 for a brand new game tbh.

Do you just get kicked then if a map you dont have comes up or does it only match make you against people without the pack?

Of course not, only until they release the next Call of Duty game. Then there'll be a couple more half-arsed map packs, priced at "fantastic value to gamers", staggered until the next Call of Duty rolls around almost exactly a year hence. Now, as a PC gamer I'm entitled to some serious affront at the very concept of paying for maps, but even you console folk should start to notice something a bit unpleasant wafting in the breeze right about now?

Well I didn't mean to the end of time :D (is activision though), obviously till the next one comes out :p but at the rate they are going they could easily get out another 2 taking the total cost up to around £80. At this stage I'm more swaying towards selling MW2 to avoid having to invest more in it. For me the game just becomes broken without the extra maps as you're constantly getting kicked from games.
 
The last one seemed a bit expensive considering how much content it had.
Shame it sold so many really as it just gives them a license to regularly print money with not-much-actual-content DLC's.
 
meh, overpriced.
And did we really need another thread on MW2, surely this could/should have been posted in the main thread?
