Official MW2 Map Pack Information.

Another leak(?) by Xbox.com, this time revealing the names and a short description of the Stimulus Package maps.

After many months of waiting and various rumours circulating around the internet, it seems that we may now have the information we've been waiting for. A leak on the official Xbox site has revealed the names and descriptions of each map within the Map Pack.

The first Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack, titled the "Stimulus Package", will be released 30th March on Xbox 360 and will then eventually arrive on PS3 and PC 30 days later. The Map Pack will include 3 brand new multiplayer maps as well as 2 fan-favourites from Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare.

"Bailout", a multi-level apartment complex;
"Storm", an open industrial park littered with heavy machinery;
"Salvage", a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars;
"Crash", a war-torn urban environment;
"Overgrown", which features a massive dry creek bed.

So it seems that the infamous leaked video » that has made the rounds on the internet is indeed legit. It also appears that the maps titled Complex has changed to Bailout, and Compact has been changed to Salvage.

We also expect the "Stimulus Package" to feature new challenges and callsigns for you to unlock, as suggested by Infinity Ward Community Manager, @fourzerotwo », after a lead meeting in January.
