COD 4 maps definitely this week News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Infinity Ward has said the Xbox 360 Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack will arrive probably late tonight or early tomorrow morning, and suggests preparing your sick day excuses in advance.
"Despite what the Internet might tell you (including some 'official' sources), the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare variety map pack has NOT been delayed until the 10th [April]," said Robert Bowling, community friend maker at Infinity Ward. "As of right now we're pushing certification for an on-time release for April 3rd or 4th.
"For those of you asking when you should take off work, I'd take off Friday, as it looks like they should be available late Thursday night / early Friday morning, which means Friday you should be able to play all day."
So, you might need something like a sick day excuse generator. But we wouldn't know where to find one of those.
Confusion over the arrival of the Xbox 360 map pack was stirred up by the Call of Duty 4 Game of the Year website, which spouted 10th April without a care in the world.
Those buying this edition will be given a token to download the fresh maps for free, while everyone else will have to pay 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60). Inside the pack are Broadcast, Creek, Killhouse and Chinatown maps.
Unfortunately PS3 Call of Duty 4 fans will have to wait around three weeks for the same pack, while PC owners are still awaiting confirmation of its existence.
Pop over to our interview with Infinity Ward to see what it had to say about the Variety Map Pack.

"Still think the MS pricing is steep."
For the last time - it's not MS's pricing! They have nowt to do with CoD 4. |

I'm basing the pricing on the stella being from £2.92 (my local) to £3.20 in the centre of Manchester, although some places can charge up to £3.50.

I can afford the price many, many times over, but I wont be buying additional content for an essentially flawed MP experience...i.e. Poor matchmaking, poor (server-side) hit detection, pathetic excuse for host migration, a system which punishes your stats for a host quitting, etc, etc. I'm sure I can survive the weeks until GTA comes out. I have, after all, only played the game for a few hours in the past 2 weeks.

The main problem with ms points is they provide them at 500 and 1000 points. Haven't they worked out that most games are 400 or 800 points. That should be the price point you buy the points. It may be greed to squeeze a little more out of each purchase but TBH it deters more people than they might think.

@rob230 I paid £7 for a double Vodka and Redbull last weekend in Windsor, THAT is a rip-off
That is the premium we have to pay for living in a shit town full of tourists.

People need to not confuse the limited edition with the game of the year edition - THEY'RE DIFFERENT!

CoD4 is obviously a great game but the price we have to pay for games these days more than qualifies as an investment. This is just 4 maps, they should give them out free as a big thank you to the community for supporting their product.

I reckon a Microsoft DLC strike team made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

"Still think the MS pricing is steep"
I think you need to go and get another paper round or start saving your dinner money you tight ass. These maps will make things a bit more interesting until GTA comes out...I'm suprised they don't release maps as DLC all of the time, just think how many people are going to buy them! Maybe the Microsoft process of certification is just too much of a long winded process?? |

@t8yman
You say that as if developers in the past never gave out free maps. They aren't working for "nothing" either, they're securing their future base. How much did you pay for the CoD4 patches? Someone obviously worked on them. |

I love this game, but find the general treatment of PS3 owners horrific, late patches, late maps, broken online service, no rumble support for DS3...
