While no formal reason was given for their removal at the time, it was likely down to the sheer difference in playstyle between regular and night vision maps - and a brief reintroduction via Hardcore mode didn't go down well with players. Brace yourselves, as I expect we'll also see the return of plenty of 1v1 memes.Īlthough brief, a snippet of the trailer suggests night maps will be reintroduced to multiplayer in season two, having been removed from rotation on the game's release day back in October. Zhokov Boneyard looks like it'll be a little grander in scale, as a reimagined version of the boneyard from the 16th mission of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign.Īnd then, of course, there's Rust - the remake of the famous map from Modern Warfare 2. Bazaar, meanwhile, is located in the fictional middle eastern country of Urzikstan and will be playable in Gunfight mode. While the trailer's fairly light on details, Atlas Superstore looks like an adaptation of the location from Spec Ops' Operation Paladin, and is set among warehouse crates in a Russian shopping centre. As spotted by Call of Duty Tracker, the season 2 trailer confirms Rust will be making an appearance in season two, along with three other multiplayer maps: Atlas Superstore, Bazaar, and Zhokov Boneyard. If nothing else, other publishers will be watching the sales numbers and weighing the pros and cons of such aggressive pricing for their own content.At this rate very little will remain a surprise for the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's second season, as another leak has provided details of new maps - along with a hint that night maps could possibly be reintroduced.įollowing an accidental data dump on the Call of Duty website over the weekend, the new leak again comes from an official source via an Activision account on Xbox Live. If you're a regular online player who gets hours of enjoyment out of the maps, you could even argue that the price remains a good deal. If people do buy the maps, Activision profits mightily. If no one buys the maps, which is doubtful, the price can be lowered. Meanwhile, the creative talent behind the maps are hoping you don't buy $1 billion worth, because then they'll be fired. Activision is betting that you'll buy the map pack even if you complain about the pricing. The Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack came in at $10, and featured four new maps. "Overgrown," which features a massive dry creek bed."Salvage," a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars."Storm," an open industrial park littered with heavy machinery."Bailout," a multi-level apartment complex.Here is the map list, as reported by Destructoid: The price for all this gaming? 1,200 Microsoft points, or $15.
Gamers will receive three new maps, as well as two reworked maps from Call of Duty 4. On March 30 the Xbox 360 will be receiving the first map pack for Modern Warfare 2 as a timed exclusive.
