I am glad that all the new maps are during the day and no “night time and/or rainy” maps are in this final map pack we will most likely ever see for Modern Warfare 2.

Strike from Call of Duty 4 to Modern Warfare 2: You will notice a few changes in just this picture alone, then the original Strike in COD4. Which is personally my favorite map from COD4 and I am glad MW2 is getting it.

Vacant from Call of Duty 4 to Modern Warfare 2: This map as well from COD4 has some changes done to it then from the original Vacant in COD4.

Fuel: I think this map will be one of my favorite new maps in MW2. Minus the sniping aspect of it. Completely unique from the other maps. The setting is an oil refinery and is split into two sections. One area is wide-open for snipers and the other half is a large warehouse with tight corridors.

Trailer Park: Contains tight corridors and condensed areas. Very maze-like with obvious choke points. In context of the game, this map is the living quarters for the people who run the Boneyard level found in Modern Warfare 2′s singleplayer campaign. The Boneyard will be viewable in the background.

Carnival: Desolate amusement park with excellent vantage points for snipers. It’s “unlike anything we’ve ever done before,” said Bowling. The map takes place during the daytime and includes all original art and model assets. Bowling added that the team really wanted to include this in the first map pack, but the team needed additional time for polish. It’s a fairly large map and includes many set pieces, such as roller-coasters, a fun house, and bumper cars.

Modern Warfare 2 playlists now updated. They should all have double XP and include the new maps in their rotation. May need to restart! #MW2

This is great news! I do not know what person thought it would be fun at all to everyone to have to play in a variety of game modes in order to just play the new maps. Thank you for listening to the community on solely this one issue Infinity Ward! Thank you!

In this new downloadable content currently titled from my knowledge as “Stimulus Package” I do know contain 2 maps from Call of Duty 4, those being Overgrown and Crash. I am more a fan of Strike and Bog and wish those were coming over instead. Could you imagine a game of Bog on Modern Warfare 2? Hell yeah, I wish it would happen. But I would be more than happy with just Strike, my favorite map of all time.

They also contain 3 new maps Complex, Compact and Storm. I can not post pictures that have been previously leaked days ago. You will just have to wait till the end of the month to play them or as new information arrives over the next few weeks. I am sure there will be and we will be posting them when the time comes too.

Fourzerotwo (Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward) has posted a tweet stating for the record that this is FALSE. Do not believe these chain messages or any others as they are typically false.
