Thursday Night Throwdown 6/10: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence

Have you figured out every single sniping spot in the carnival yet? If not, you'd better bone up, because we're going to be taking the new Resurgence map pack for Modern Warfare 2 through its paces on this week's Thursday Night Throwdown!

As the map pack is currently only available on the Xbox 360, and the friends list is currently full up, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and watch us gun down members of the Giant Bomb community in the coldest of cold blood. Or, more accurately, watch us go 2 and 35 in basic TDM while lamely talking about the impact of rifle shots to a target's center mass.

Be sure to be here at 4PM Pacific Daylight Time to experience the magic, either in our live chat room or, if you're on the list, in-game. We'll be inviting waves of players for a full two hours! 
 
[UPDATE] Thanks to all who joined us! If you missed it, or if you'd just like to relive the magic, here's the rerun! Catch it! 
  

Cool

Awesome!

PUMP IT UP

Oh god it's the kidz bop version! I love when they say the crowd is jumping and they're all sitting clapping politely.

I  would have picked 'Get Ready For This" just for the  
 
...Ya'll ready for this 

" PUMP IT UP "

Yeah I'm really pumped for Thursday Night Throwdown!

Frightening.

That kid just jumped over his own foot!

Why are the youtube videos posted super small?  Is it just me?

Jeff, I will murder you for making me listen to this.

so since there won't be alot of new, online enabled games coming out during the summer, will you be going back a ways to play some older games?
 
I'm just hoping for some PC action soon ;)

HYPE HYPE

" that video makes me hate everything. "

I get the feeling this will just be watching one of the GB members die over and over due to their position being revealed all the time on the stream.
 And thus not so good.
 
But alas, that's to be seen!

I will be watching no way was I gonna pay money for a MW map pack.

loovee it, unfortunately I suck at everything FPS

" PUMP IT UP "

Oh my god... pump it up. Horrible memories as a kid.

That sucks the GBTNT friends list gets full so fast..  :/

No one is more authentic than Jeff for pumping it up.

isn't there like a 10 second delay on the stream? that shouldn't screw em over if they keep moving. i do have a feeling though we'll still be watching them die over and over regardless. "

" Why are the youtube videos posted super small?  Is it just me? "

That video has just ruined all my memories of that song :(

I've been wanting to see just how Carnival plays. It's pretty much the only MW2 map that actually looks really appealing to me.

OOOOH, I at first thought this was the Kidz Bop version of MC5's "Kick Out the Jams (Motherfu#ker)".  
 
Which would be ...surreal, at least.

That video got me so pumped!!!

I'm pumpin' it up right now

OH MAN IT'S PUMPED UP!
I need to go cool off.

Finally made the list, odds are good to have a chance to play with the G-man if they are skipping the ps3 version

I got a feeling that we will barely see any of the new maps if there are full player private games.
 
Hell I don't own any of the map packs.

I sold CoD:MW2, but doesn't the game publicly display the gamertag(s) of the person(s) who don't have the map pack? Don't be surprised to get a kick. "

It's available on the PC, but you won't find a lot of people playing it there.
 
It's time for a Steam/PC TNT, guys! Please? :) I know you want to stay current so how about a litle Killing Floor or Garry's Mod? ^^

I would love to see a video feed of this where I can actually see what is going on. I know that there are limiting factors, but still... dude can dream right?

I think the word which discribes what will happen to the GB crew is raped.

Hopefully i can play, once i can get home, either way i want to take a stab at Brad :).
