Infinity Ward confirms that the Resurgence Pack download for Modern Warfare 2 will hit the PlayStation 3 and PC on July 6th.

Robert Bowling, the community manager of the studio revealed the date of release of the Resurgence Pack through Twitter.

In the pack there are five maps and three of it are absolutely brand new, but the other two are in fact revamped maps that were used in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

The map packs have already been debuted earlier this month on Xbox Live.

However, Robert Bowling through his Twitter feed did not disclose about the cost of the Resurgence Pack for PS3 and PC.

On Xbox Live it was price tagged as $15.

Modern Warfare 2 sales crossed 20 million copies worldwide confirmed Activision. Bobby Kotick, chief executive of Activision, told to analysts in a pre-Electronic Entertainment Expo that the forthcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops of Treyarch may get higher sales than what Modern Warfare 2 achieved before its released date, even so early.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is getting released on November 9 this year.

Kotick added further that the CoD series became more successful gradually with each title. He also added that the preorders of Black Ops are already tracking higher than the MW2’s advance sales at the same time.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released on November 10 last year.

Activision has targeted a good and strong move in the pre-owned game market. The company believes that it is worth about $1500 million a year.

The company is finding more sense in working with the current retailers instead of opening its own used game business.

The Resurgence Pack seems lot similar to its predecessor. Out of five maps, three are brand new and so for $15 it is pretty hefty.

It seems that the selection of the pack feels more interesting than the first piece of downloadable content of the game.

The two old maps are from the 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Well, the uniqueness of each map is more intriguing such as the one highlighted by Carnival or a multiplayer fun house that is set in an abandoned amusement park.

As a whole, the Resurgence Pack gets the edge over Stimulus Package. The main credit goes to a more diverse set of environments.

One question. Is it still worth $15?

It may be if gamers are still intensely devoted to the multiplayer madness of Modern Warfare 2.

We may see Modern Warfare 2 in 3D very soon. This was hinted through a second video. It is just like the first video and the viral ad happens to be in a lab where a gamer seen acting the guinea pig and an evil Sony scientists, presumably, test out the 3D gaming on them. Little later it is seen that the guy is unable to take the realness and so he freaks out.

The freak out of the guy includes a quick flash of the TV which shows the menu of the game in 3D.

Still we have to wait for the official announcement from Sony whether MW2 is coming on PlayStation as 3D.

Below is the viral video of PS4:

See what a writer writes for Modern Warfare 2 when things are settled down with the game.

A writer for “All About The Games” has written today an eye-witness account and he call it a “New Melee Attack Glitch.”

The writer, named Richard Horne, had given specific details on the exploit that also includes symptoms.

Below is the extracts what he had written:

“There’s a new glitch affecting multiplayer games, and I experienced it for myself the first yesterday. Basically, the game runs at about 2x normal speed so everyone sprints around like Usain Bolt on speed. But secondly, and perhaps most detrimentally, nobody is able to fire any of their primary or second weapons. Equipment and secondary grenades can be used, and if you have a riot shield equipped it’s possible to perform a melee attack, but with everyone charing about so quickly, it’s supremely difficult to actually kill anyone.”

The Resurgence Map Pack is getting released in June. Before it is released, below is the preview video of the map:

Stimulus Package have broken all the sales records first-day and first-week after it was released on PlayStation Network. Developer Infinity Ward hailed the map packs successful launch on the PS3.

The DLC was released on PS3 earlier this month. It adds five multiplayer maps to Modern Warfare 2.

Creative Strategist of Infinity Ward, Robert Bowling, commented on Twitter recently that more than 1 million users have purchased so far the Stimulus Package.

Not to forget, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 also holds the record of becoming the most successful entertainment product that has been launched till date.

When the Stimulus Package was launched on Xbox 360, it was a great success then also. It also broke all the records of first-day.

The second five-map DLC package is coming soon on Xbox 360 and it is named Resurgence Park.

It seems that Activision, each months, is swimming in cash since the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was launched last November.

In the first quarter the revenue of Activision experienced a 33% year-on-year growth $1.3 billion USD. $381 million USD was pocketed by the publisher, which is double of what it experienced during first quarter of last fiscal year.

The credit to such boost in the growth goes to Modern Warfare 2 and World of Warcraft. In Europe and North America the MW2 was the top selling game for the first quarter and the recently launched Stimulus Package DLC sales topped one million downloads in a single day.

Well, there is also the issues of troubled inhouse studio Infinity Ward. While addressing, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick, said that any firings were not made “without a great deal of deliberation about the consequences”.

He said that the firing of IW co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella was not a plan to deprive them of the royalties, but in fact it was an effort to “protect the company’s assets and the interest of our shareholders”.

In a recent press release, Activision discloses some of the information about the new map pack of Modern Warfare 2, the Resurgence Pack.

According to the release, the Resurgence Pack is being released on 3rd of June on Xbox Live. Well, the release did not mention anything about the pricing part of the map pack, but definitely some assumptions can be made if we consider about how many people threw down their hard earned benjamins for the last pack.

It may be probably charged 20 bucks. Below are some of the more details of the map pack which was briefed by community manager Robert Bowling:

Carnival - Bowling said that this map is set inside a “desolated amusement park”. He adds further that Carnival map has unique locations such as fun house and rollercoaster.

Trailer Park - According to Robert Bowling, Trailer Park is a cozy map that features abandoned trailers and also tight corridors.

Fuel - Bowling says that Fuel map is like a “sniper haven” and it is based in an oil refinery.

On the first day of Halo: Reach beta, more than one million people signed it, which is not as much as Modern Warfare 2 performed on the first day of its release.

The below list ranks all the unique users playing Xbox 360 games through Live. So, all the single-player games are here counted as the same as of the online multiplayer ones, but one thing necessary to notice that the users are connected to Xbox Live.

Below list is compiled according to the number sales of full versions in a given week.
