IGN: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Map Pack Impressions

I was pretty upset with Activision when it released the Stimulus Map Pack at the beginning of May. It had three new multiplayer levels, one old map and no new in-game content (achievements, perks, guns and everything else was unaltered) to speak of and retailed for $15 (1200 Microsoft Points). For some reason, everyone and their mother bought the damn thing. It seems as though Activision listened to a few of the gripes about the steep price point, as they've now included a whopping two old maps, instead of the original one, to go along with the three new creations. Does that improve this download's chances of winding up on your hard drive? Read on for the answers.

Didn't the first map pack have 2 old maps, Crash and Overgrown?

HINDERIZATION5109d ago

yup
they kinda left one out there...

-Alpha5109d ago

Yes, but both were renamed "Cash" and "Overpriced" to accompany the nature of the Stimulus Package.

RedDevils5109d ago (Edited 5109d ago )

well said, but how much is the map pack again?

-Alpha5108d ago

:)

$15 each. There are three, one still in production meaning it's $45 in total for the map packs 0_o

The author of the article doesn't know what he's talking about.

CommonCent5109d ago

Wow did he seriously reiterate his point about it having one classic map? They are hiring crack heads at IGN?!

i guess it just depends how well you do in certain maps to appreciate the new ones.

ironwolf7775109d ago (Edited 5109d ago )

Not really a typo. His whole first paragraph is based on pure bunk.
People complained about the price so acti added two old maps??
Nate Ahearn, from this point on everything you write will just be a clever way to spell 'Fail'.

givemelbpbetakeys5109d ago

his was hight as a kite when he wrote dis n or he got an special version special.. ed hahahaha i know is a lame joke but give me a rest hate on him instead

boysenberry5109d ago

Not buying it when it comes out for the PS3 next month. I will save those $15 for another game that is actually worth the money. I bought the first map pack, but I don't think that I'll be buying this one.

Faztkiller5109d ago

Joe Danger $15 > MW2 maps $15 I can't believe how overpriced COD map packs are

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G293d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood293d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G293d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade292d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty293d ago (Edited 293d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality292d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator291d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G292d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85293d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai293d ago (Edited 293d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G293d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo293d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg293d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast292d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
