Said that it will be called “Resurgence Pack”

Apparently, while Activision has referenced the release of a Map Pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for this fall, another Map Pack will be released on the Xbox 360 on June 3rd. According to what our sources are telling us, this Map Pack will be called the “Resurgence Pack” and it will be priced at $15 or 1,200 Microsoft Points.

It seems that the news about the “Resurgence Pack” was confirmed by Thomas Tippi during a financial earnings call last week, but went unnoticed. Some of our sources are speculating that while the “Resurgence Pack” will arrive for the Xbox 360 on June 3, it could be that the PC and Playstation 3 versions might be released later on in the year. Some are even suggesting that a third map pack might be on tap for later this fall, as well.

As for the price of the map pack again at $15, Activision seems unwilling to budge on the price of the map pack, despite all of the negative press and complaints from the community. The problem, according to one of our moles, is that people are buying it in droves at $15, so why would Activision charge less for it to satisfy a few very vocal people complaining about the price? While we think it is a lot more than just a few unhappy with what Activision is charging, unless the next map pack doesn’t sell, we see no way that they are going to even consider charging less for the map packs. After all, when you have sales like they have had with the Stimulus Pack, there no reason to think that they can’t go to the well again and cash in.
