When Activision announced just a few days ago that the second Modern Warfare 2 map pack would be arriving sometime in the second half of 2010 who would have thought they meant next month!
Earlier today Activision outed a press release that confirms some exciting news about the next instalment of DLC for the record breaking shooter. The five-map Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack will hit Xbox 360 on June 3rd 2010. Like the Stimulus Package before it the Resurgence Pack will be exclusive to the Xbox for at least 30 days.
Activision didn’t mention pricing, but it’s likely the company will continue with the $15 model it established with the Stimulus Package, which launched on March 30 for the Xbox 360. The publisher did say, however, the launch of the Resurgence Pack will be accompanied by two Double XP weekends. The first kicks off on Friday, May 28 in anticipation of the DLC’s release. The second will begin the day after its launch on Friday, June 4.
Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack map details are in, and yes, there will be two more old CoD4 maps coming to Modern Warfare 2 on June 3rd.
The 5-map Resurgence Pack will feature 3 new maps, 2 old and will stick with the 15$ price point (like we expected any different!) The old maps, which make a return from Call of Duty 4, are Vacant and Strike, while the new maps are called Trailer Park (a tight, constrained map), Carnival (a big fairground) and Fuel (a sniper’s paradise).
The Resurgence pack launches June 3 for Xbox 360, while PC and PS3 owners will have to sit tight for further details on their respective launches, but you can expect them to arrive 30 days after they hit the Xbox, minimum.
