00:11I'm Robert Bolling, Creative Strategist for Modern Warfare 2, and you're watching Inside
00:15Xbox.
00:23The Resurgence map pack for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 releases Thursday, June 3rd exclusively
00:31on Xbox Live, and Robert shared all the details on each of the five maps.
00:36Fuel, Trailer Park, Carnival, Strike, and Vacant.
00:44So, in the Resurgence map pack, we have five maps total, and included in those is Fuel.
00:50It's one of our biggest maps now.
00:52I used to always talk about Overgrown being one of our biggest maps in multiplayer, and
00:55this one is really competing for that title, because it's wide open space.
01:00It's an oil refinery.
01:01It's really broken up into two playable areas, in a sense, depending on your playstyle.
01:11The complete opposite of that, in terms of how you should play it, is Trailer Park.
01:15Now, Trailer Park's all about the tight routes.
01:17It's super, you know, it's all about choke points and finding the best way through this
01:22maze of trailers.
01:24Like, you can cut through the individual units, or you can go around to, like, the picnic
01:28and pool area, or whatever, even a laundromat section over to the right.
01:33But this one is definitely all about finding the quickest route through the buildings, because
01:37they're all interconnected.
01:38And where they're not, where the trailers aren't touching, there's fences.
01:41So you really need to learn these routes, otherwise you're going to be lost in this
01:44map.
01:44Because it's tight, flanking routes all throughout the whole thing.
01:50We've also brought back some fan favorites from Call of Duty 4, and those included are
01:55Vacant and Strike.
01:57Now, Vacant is a Russian office complex.
01:59It's, you know, it's a good mix of exterior fighting, and then a lot of interior fighting.
02:04So, you know, we've updated it to the Modern Warfare 2 engine, so, you know, you have
02:08more detail, you have better lighting, and atmosphere, and all that good stuff.
02:12But we've also made some tactical tweaks to how the map plays out, depending on the play
02:17type.
02:18The second flashback map we have is Strike.
02:21I love this map.
02:22It's great for objective game types.
02:23And we've also made some tweaks here and there that, you know, our hardcore objective players
02:27are definitely going to notice right away.
02:29Like if you're capping Charlie Point, you used to be able to take up cover inside that shop,
02:34that two-story shop and apartment right there, and capped from inside there.
02:39You can no longer do that.
02:40But we've also opened up the back end, so now there's a back door to that room that lets
02:44you go in through the laundry area.
02:45And this gives you a little bit more balance on that map.
02:49The fifth map in the research map pack is called Carnival, and this one is my personal
02:53favorite.
02:54I mean, this map is like nothing you've ever seen in Modern Warfare's multiplayer before.
02:58Basically, Carnival is broken down into its individual themed sections, and if you're
03:03playing an objective game types, those typically each have their own objective in them.
03:07And what's cool about that is like, one, there's a lot of easily identifiable places.
03:11So if you're playing and you're a communicator, you're going to be yelling stuff out.
03:14You're going to be saying Cloudmouth, Rocket Ship, Castle Perch, and you're going to be calling
03:18out these places.
03:19But what's cool about it is they're all kind of subsections, and they all have their own
03:22tactics that work for them.
03:24If you're like in the medieval area, like the castle where the bumper cars are and stuff,
03:28that's a run and gun place.
03:29There's lots to cover.
03:31You know, cut through there, use that, be crouching with a suppressor, and you can work your way
03:34through there and then into like, you know, the booth games, the corndog stand, cut your
03:40way through that area, use that as cover to get over to the more open areas that connect
03:44the entire park together.
03:46Now, we also asked Robert what his favorite gameplay moment on Carnival was while testing the
03:51maps during development.
03:53without even realizing, I went up and I posted up to the first cover point, and I'm picking
03:57guys off, and they're running by, and I'm picking them off, and I'm like, how are these
04:00guys not seeing me?
04:01And I realized as I'm fighting that I'm standing in front of a clown that is supposed to be the,
04:07oh, you have to be this high to ride there, but my head just happened to be where the clown's
04:11head should be.
04:11So I'm using that as perfect cover, and so their sight lines, they're running through,
04:16and they're like, oh, it's just a clown, it's fine.
04:17But I have my gun posted up there at his hand, like just picking guys off, and I love that
04:21because it was a perfect moment of like, they have no clue I'm even here.
04:25I'm, I'm a stealth clown.
04:28Thanks Robert for dishing out all the details on the Resurgence map pack.
04:33You can download it yourself starting June 3rd exclusively on Xbox Live.
04:38Thanks for watching Inside Xbox.
