COD4 Map Pack still "early April" News
Xbox 360 PC PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Activision has told Eurogamer that the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack is still on course for release in "early April".
Whether or not that means this week on Xbox 360 is yet to be seen, although developer blog IAMfourtwozero is adamant it will be.
The Map Pack will cost 800 Microsoft Points and include fresh areas Broadcast, Creek, Killhouse and Chinatown.
Broadcast is suited to large team games and takes place in and around a multi-story television station; Creek is a wide open village with lots of foliage and scattered farm buildings providing great cover for snipers; Chinatown is a modern version of the Carentan Call of Duty map, and takes place at night and works with most gametypes; and Killhouse is an enclosed warehouse made up of plywood training structures for soft and hard cover shoot outs between small teams.
The PS3 Variety Map Pack will arrive roughly 21-days later, with a PC version still unannounced.
Pop over to our interview with Infinity Ward to see what it had to say about the Variety Map Pack.

Yes, what a debable! ^_^
It wouldn't be the first time money has changed hands for an exclusivity deal, and i can't blame the developers for taking it. I wouldn't turn down easy money either. |

what a load of shit tobsen. it was pubished on 402's blog ages ago that the ps3 pack was going to take a bit longer for certification etc. no one has mentioned money changing hands for an exclusivity deal, its just that M$ have decided to capitalise on the ps3 delay by dubbing it "exclusive to the 360 for 21 days".
a map pack isnt going to sell more consoles. FFS people just like to stir the fanboy shit with any opportunity dont they? edited to add 402's blog also stated 3rd/4th april as a tentative release date.

Interesting how well MS is informed about both the duration and the outcome of Sony's internal certification processes... Oh yes, and 402 once famously stated that the European patch would be "with Sony for certification" when a Sony spokesman later told Eurogamer that they hadn't yet received anything to certify. So it seems that bullshits stands against bullshit here ;)

So it seems that bullshits stands against bullshit here ;) please explain to me why you think M$ would find any value in delaying the ps3 release? milions of people that already own consoles and already own the game are the target market for this pack. you think M$ are going to attract new users by being exclusive? or its just bragging rights? bragging rights dont amount to 1 penny on a balance sheet. you said in your first post that you have no respect left for infinity ward? the team that brought you and I one of the best games of the last decade arent due any respect because the ps3 takes a bit more work to code for? |

the team that brought you and I one of the best games of the last decade arent due any respect because the ps3 takes a bit more work to code for? The online aspect of COD 4 has been criminally dysfunctional for months - at least on the PS3 - and is barely functional as it is after the latest patch. I have played most of the relevant online FPS in the last decade, and no game has ever confronted me with such an incredible assortment of annoying technical problems like COD 4 does. "Host ended game" anyone? |
