COD4 Live patch in works
Infinity Ward details tweaks.
Infinity Ward is planning to patch Call of Duty 4 for Xbox 360 in the relatively near future to take care of various online issues.
Speaking on the game's official forum, IW's community relations manager explained that the update will optimise things like match-making and host-selection, among other tweaks.
These include the addition of host-migration, so if the host leaves a game it automatically chooses the next best host, as well as a new control scheme, improved network performance in 18-player games and other tweaks detailed on the thread.
Elsewhere, IW said that a separate update will solve an issue relating to corrupt profiles.
Neither update has a deployment date, but we'll let you know when they're out there.
Not that their absence seems to be doing Call of Duty 4 much harm. It's top of the UK sales charts, and Major Nelson's latest Live activity charts reveal that it is now second only to Halo 3 in terms of popularity, displacing Gears of War.

Sprint works fine for me too. You do know you can't constantly sprint don't you? I.e. you fatigue and stop sprinting - requiring a bit of time to recover. You can get a perk to extend your sprint time.
@espadachin
I think they need a proving ground to give new people the chance to get used to things. Rank < 5. Once you have create a class then the difference is more options for the higher ranked players - the early perks and guns are just as valid as the later ones.

Where if you stayed still for too long you turned into "Super Chicken" with name announced ((and you actually changed into a chicken making loads of noise so people knew where you were) which obviously meant you had no weapon)- clearly it would not work on everymap that well - but I always thought it was great.
Just a good, fun idea.

Yeah? And the corrupted profiles patch? Should that have been in the game that's in stores now?
I remember when console games were tested a bit before being shipped. Xbox Live and PSN have allowed developers to become lazy.
