The Stimulus and Resurgence packs, when put together, feature six totally new maps and four regurgitations of familiar landscapes from Call of Duty 4.

The Resurgence Pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is priced at $15 (1200 Microsoft Points), and contains three new multiplayer levels and two classic multiplayer levels from the first Modern Warfare title.
