COD4 Variety maps going half-price News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Plus double experience all weekend.

Infinity Ward will be reducing the cost of the Variety Map Pack by half and dishing out double experience to anyone playing Call of Duty 4 online this weekend.

The offer starts tomorrow and ends Sunday on Xbox Live, according to IW community liaison Robert Bowling. PS3 owners can expect the same treatment next weekend.

This staggered approach means Infinity Ward developers can hop online and join fans in battles on both systems. Specifically, the official Xbox 360 Play With Devs time is 4pm PDT on Saturday, which translates to midnight UK time.

The Variety Map Pack now costs 400 MS Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80), and contains four extra areas. Of those, Creek and Chinatown just about justified the original asking price, so half-price sits favourably.

Infinity Ward will also be bringing the Prestige Gamerpic pack back to Xbox Live after a previous limited appearance. Fans complained, apparently.

That's fortunate, and good timing. I'll get those maps once the PS3 event is on, then.

Everytime I get bored of CoD4, they stick on another double exp. weekend to get me back in. I bet I'll have reverted to being rubbish again though.

A bit of a shame though, double XP.

The hardcore players have achieved maximum prestige months ago.
Got it myself back in Jan/Feb. Bit useless to me really...

I'll get the maps at that price but they can stick their double XP weekend up their arse. Last time I tried it, I got ass-raped.

Nah, 400 points for a map pack is still 400 points too much

To promote Modern Warfare 3, Activision will be holding a two day event called Call of Duty: Experience! The official Call of Duty: MW3 site was launched on May 18. It currently has an interactive map that was seen in the MW3 teaser trailers. I'm sure we will see the perks soon.
