Do you have a 360? Do you have a trustworthy friend who has bought both, and has a 360? If so, you might not have to pay for either!

I'll compare each five maps with each other. Matchups are random, except the new maps are matched up with new ones..

Bailout vs. Carnival

Analysis - Both Bailout and Carnival have the same downfall - they're horribly balanced maps. With Bailout, it's too linear. There's no room for flanking. You've basically got two ways to maneuver the map. You pretty much have to camp here. Carnival is a fucking cluster of random shit in one map. I almost gave it to Carnival just for looks, but fuck it - it's a shit map. There's way too much shit for people to hide behind.

Storm vs. Fuel

Analysis - Fuel is simply too big - it's like a shitty custom made map. There's just a bunch of fucking random buildings in the middle of the map, where nothing surrounds it but rocks. Fuel's killer for me is that's it's unplayable if you're not playing GW or Search....too fucking big. Storm is a well balanced map with room for flanking, while not being too wide open. They're are multiple areas you can control and do well in. Storm is fantastic.

Trailer Park vs. Salvage

Analysis - As shitty as it looks, Trailer Park is fantastic and well balanced. People with multiple styles can do well here. Campers can still control areas and guard long sightlines, but the Trailer Park also allows for aggressive, rushing oriented people to thrive in. Salvage sucks major cock. I first thought it looked like Scrapyard with snow, but it's the least rusher friendly map in the game, hands down. The Russians have a retarded advantage with the spawn. I won't play Salvage at all unless I spawn Russian, even then....

Now for the recycled maps....

Strike vs. Overgrown

Analysis - Phew. Overgrown is a good map, but I'm biased because I tend to struggle there. I would say Overgrown's the better map. If it were COD4 Strike, I'd go with Strike here no question - sadly, the MW2 updates of it suck ass. They made it much darker - which I hate. They expanded it, too. Seriously, why da fuck?

Crash vs. Vacant

Analysis - Vacant wins, no question. Like Trailer Park it's very balanced, as campers can still get their swag on but rushers can succeed here as well. Crash....you've got to camp to do well. Rushers on Crash should use smoke grenades, shame nobody understands its uses....

As you can see, it's....

Stimulus - 3
Resurgence - 2

It's not just quantity, though. The 2 maps I like on Resurgence (Vacant and Trailer Park) I like better than any of the three Stimulus maps I voted for. Overgrown and Bailout were half-hearted votes because their opposition sucks even more. Only Storm I actually like. With the Resurgence, I actually gave a full-hearted support for the two I voted for.

As far as I'm concerned, quality > quantity. I'll go with Resurgence just for Vacant and Trailer Park.

Map Packs are not worth it. I haven't bought them, and I never will, it's just infinity ward trying to make more money off of their fail game.

Its become very 'cool' to insult the new maps when in fact they arent bad at all. I can't speak for the resurgence but in my opinion they are decent, okay they should have been free or indeed a lot less. In all though I think the new maps are great for objective games and who can complain about overgrown its a legendary map.

Super Duper

Stimulus.
Bailout is amazing. Take control of the entire right side of the map.
Crash = Take control in the top left buildings.
Overgrown is the only map I would consider camping. Camping in the house that is over the bridge on the right side is a good tactic.
I like to take control one of the choke points on Salvage. That gets me a lot of kills.
Storm is just a regular game. No special tactics, just kill.

Resurgance is so stupid. Why?
Carnival is a sniper heaven. If it's not people camping on the rooftops with snipers, it's people lying in the grass waiting for people to pass the chokepoint.
Vacant is mostly inside. Why is this bad? Any air support killstreaks will suck. (Besides UAV, Predator Missle and Counter-UAV).
Strike has too many rooftops. Dear god, so many campers with their m16s.
Fuel is the only good map, IMO. I still vote to skip it, though.

EDIT: Note how I said "Take Control". There is a difference between taking control and camping.

WHITE_BOLT

From people's responses they seem to like the Resurgence Map Pack better. I am personally going to get both.
