Platform Nation: MW2 Resurgence Package DLC Review

Andrew Hunt from Platform Nation reviews Infinity Wards latest piece of DLC; Resurgence Package. "In this review I will try and make you look differently towards the pricing and try and tell you that it’s only aimed at the “hardcore” MW2 gamer." - from the review.

[Nathan V]

Nice review. I've been meaning to pick these up.

[AAACE5]

It's getting harder and harder to not buy these packs. Especially considering the fact that I still play MW 2 everyday!

I might just have to breakdown and get em.

[DirtyLary]

They are actually good.
Price is high, but the map quality is also.

[Sm0k3y_Bac0n]

Yh the map quality looks good, but only because they've put CoD4 maps in there. I still play MW2, but only when friends are on it. I'd rather play CoD4 tbh than buy the new packs because I have more fun on MW1.

[waterboy]

and now here comes the cod hate squad

[Alcon Caper]

Just bubble down the COD hate trolls.

BTW, I'm definitely gonna pick these up. I keep coming back and still have lots of fun.

[huzzaahh]

MY issue isn't COD, it's the price of the map packs. If you buy both map packs, you will have payed half of what the game originally costed. You will have payed 1.5x more on this one game than other games.

I honestly don't find COD as glitchy as everybody keeps whining about, but I have lost interest in playing it. I go back every so often, but I've just gotten tired of it.

[bjornbear]

gamers that vote with their dollars and don't buy broken crap?

yep, bubble me and everyone else down because I actually stand up and say ITS BROKEN

[Alcon Caper]

Your hate has blinded you from the score of 10/10 for the map pack. This review is about the map pack, not MW2. The map pack. But some people seem to think that the review concentrates solely on the game called Modern Warfare 2. When in fact it's not about Modern Warfare 2. The 10/10 review that Platform Nation has given is for the Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Package DLC Map pack.

Therefore, Modern Warfare 2 "haters" deserve to be bubbled down for *drum roll please* STAYING OFF TOPIC.

[Jack-Pyro]

Basic application of tatics and strategy are always the sure fire way to win.

When people tac-knife, I shotgun.

When people noobtube, I use alternate routes to go and sneak up from behind.

When people camp, I flank.

I have a great time while doing this too.

[BossKamikaze]

Exactly what you should do!

[BossKamikaze]

This review is for the map pack, not MW2. Yes the Stimulus Package had problems and was broken but this map pack is far from broken. Please acknowledged this next time.

[Jack-Pyro]

I don't know why COD gets the hate it gets, I've been playing for over 7 months now, and I'm still not bored with it.

New maps, while expensive are a small price to pay when it gives me something new to experience in a game I love.

BTW, Carnival = <3, I love the shit outa that map, so fun ^.^

[Alcon Caper]

"The Resurgence Package is well worth the 1200msp price tag BUT only if your a “hardcore” MW2 gamer and play the game day in and day out. If your the gamer that only plays MW2 now and again, you should save your money because this map pack was aimed at the “hardcore” fans."

Definitely gonna pick these up.

[jeseth]

I was drooling for vacant when the Stimulus pack came out. MW2 has its down points (commando, akimbo shotguns - what human on earth can accurately shoot two shotguns while running? - or two shotguns at the same time for that matter, heartbeat/thermal, crazy noob tubing, killstreaks, etc.) but it is still one of the most fun games to play with your friends online.

Sometimes it gets frustrating, but its still a lot of fun with your friends. I find that most of the people who hate on it are usually people that can't adapt to a lot of the varied ways people play.

[nikkisixx2]

Thanks for the introduction waterboy

[booni3]

the online is bulls maneur. tell me, how can it be fun if you only get to live 3 seconds after spawning? this game is inferior to bad company 2.

[Brewski007]

Lol "Hate squad" , really! haha. Get your pitchforks ready men!.

Fuel looks good but the rest look just ok. Its not worth 10/10 i.e. 100% unless your a biased reviewer which I suspect this guy is. I would also say its not worth 15 bucks for two rehashed maps and 3 new ones. I'd rather save my money.

[bumnut]

stop it please, nothing is worth 10/10 especially a map pack

[Dnied]

somehow I knew it'd be a 9 or 10 before i clicked it

I'd say the price alone drops it a point or 2 lol

[Colonel-Killzone]

LMAO

[electricshadow]

lolno, just, no.

[corneliuscrust]

YES! Let's support this business model as much as possible!

Maybe kotick can bump up the retail price of their games too. Then you KNOW it'd be worth it

[DARK WITNESS]

lol, He has already done that in the UK and EU.

USA is next on his list I suspect, they all seem to love the overpriced maps.

on another note, while I refuse to buy the maps, I still play the game and is it just more or since the new update the game has got laggy again ?

Don't get me wrong MW2 was always bad, but the update before this last one seemed to smoth it out more and I noticed you didn't seem to get bullet lag as much. Now, since the new update which released along with the new map pack, it feels like it's gone back to it's old ways.

Anyone else feel the same or is it just me ?

[studiture]

if the price was lower..maybe. bfbc2 dlc is free and the game is better. now i'm not bashing on mw2. its a great game but i can only take so many glitches before it ruins it for me.

[waterboy]

cause what people get agrees for is absurd, and what people get disagrees for is rediculous and when you see who gets more agrees than disagrees for is rediculous and when some of the more dissagrees than agrees is stupid please remove this agree disagree system

[electricshadow]

Why does it bother you? The agree/disagree votes don't affect your bubbles in any way. People just feel better if they press agree or disagree. I don't care if people press either one. I can write "The sky is blue" and I'll still get disagrees.
