No Chinatown, but Strike and Vacant are reappearing.

"Containing five maps - three of which entirely new and two of which are ported from the first Modern Warfare title, Call of Duty 4 - the Resurgence Pack will be priced at 1,200 Microsoft Points (roughly £10) and will raise the total number of available maps to 26.

The trio of new maps are described briefly as follows:

Carnival: a fairly-big "desolated amusement park".
Trailer Park: a run-and-gun map ideal for HQ players, features "super tight corridors" and is described as "a maze to get through".
Fuel: an oil refinery that's said to function as "another sniper haven".
Joining the new playing fields are two classics ported from the first Modern Warfare; Vacant and Strike. According to Bowling, the revisited maps feature "really cool details that we changed", as well as "new visuals, new atmosphere and a lot more detail"."

not bog i hated that map, it was full of snipers!

Same here, I hated that map! I don't think it would be a good one for MW2, it would be like Rust.

I'm really pleased about Strike, it was always one of my favourite COD4 maps.

According to AceyBongos on Twitter, afternoon/evening is all anyone knows at present.

Looks like they're doing the update first this time (after what happened last time when they released the maps before the update and no one could play them), and that's going out now apparently.

1200, same as the last one.

The fairground map is cool but 4 people voted to skip it. Odd

Probably the game mode they were skipping.

fair point, never played sabotage or demolition untill now.

How long you reckon for your first resurgance nuke?

Aaah could be a while depending on how long it takes me to find some good camping spots!

Didn't get much chance to play this weekend but I did get a few games on the new maps yesterday.

I really like Strike and Vacant, classic maps, good for FFA and team games. Trailer Park and Fuel are pretty good, but the jury's still out on Carnival. I'm finding it a bit hide-and-seek.

I cant get used to vacant at all though, always take a good beating on it!

Try it with an SMG and shotgun! It's all about the close-quarters weapons. Claymores are deadly as well as there's loads of good places you can put them.
