Infinity Ward has said the Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4 on PS3 will be released on 1st May.

Europeans will be given a double experience weekend immediately after launch, from Friday 2nd May to Sunday 4th May. You will also have a chance to shoot the developers in games on that Friday night, from 7pm to 10pm GMT.

Meanwhile, those of you in the US will be playing the maps a little earlier on 24th April, with your double experience weekend to follow immediately after from 25th to 27th April.

Infinity Ward also hopes to have its PC Community Map Contest open and receiving submissions by the end of the week.

We had a look at the Variety Map Pack when it was released for Xbox 360 earlier this month. We liked Creek and Chinatown more than Killhouse and Broadcast.

The Variety Map Pack cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) on Xbox 360. There is currently no word on a PS3 price.
