Fresh COD4 maps, "gameplay variety"

By Robert Purchese Published 5 February, 2008

Inbound on PS3 and 360 this spring.

Activision has radioed that more Call of Duty 4 maps will be available for PS3 and 360 this spring.

Plus there will be added "gameplay variety", although the publisher was MIA when we tried to find out what that means. Speculation among the COD4 population points to Capture The Flag.

"We've demonstrated our commitment to delivering the best multiplayer experience in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and that continues with our plans for new downloadable content," said Robert Bowling, community manager at Infinity Ward.

"We're excited about the new maps, and the added gameplay variety, and we can't wait to wrap things up and get online with everyone."

There is also no mention of this content being offered to the PC community - although you might argue that having mod tools, countless servers and more customisable game types negates the need for them.

Desktop defenders were given the Winter Crash map during the Christmas period too, while 360 gamers threw pens at their tellies and said un-festive things about Microsoft.

    If they fix the serious issues with the sniper rifles which seem to make the bullets vanish before they reach your target, I'd be happy. I'd be really happy if they made the ACOGs worth using on the snipers, G3, M14, AK47 etc, etc. I'd be a very happy bunny indeed if they did all that and gave you 10 secs of airstrike immunity upon spawning, and made the martyrdom perk a shitload less powerful than a normal grenade/the obvious choice for rubbish players.

    Oh, and new maps is good.

  • GitSomE_UK #6 4 years ago

    Woohoo!

  • aldo_14 #7 4 years ago

    let's have a medic and spy class!

    Already have a spy class with the silenced weapon options & the unlockable UAV Jammer perk, surely? Medic would be ace, though, especially if you could drag last-stand-ed people away and then shock them back to healthiness.

    "We've demonstrated our commitment to delivering the best multiplayer experience in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare"

    You mean with all the lobby problems and disconnects and lag?? Bah!!

    Yes, I know a lot of it was to do with Xbox Live being swamped over Xmas but still, its not the best Live multiplayer experience even now, the number of disconnects and amount of lag is still poor!

  • Fab4 #9 4 years ago

    sod the maps and CTF, sort out the effing matchmaking.

  • richardiox #10 4 years ago

    Yeah, patch was supposed to be out before Christmas and still no sign

  • Brianstorm #11 4 years ago

    really looking forward to the additions, and also sorting the lag which seems to have got really bad last couple of weeks, and late at night for some odd reason.

  • awb83 #12 4 years ago

    about bloody time

  • dadrester #13 4 years ago

    CTF?! surely sabotage = CTF... except flag is replaced with a bomb and you need to defend it once it's planted...

    was there not some talk of airstrike cam kills too a while back? anyway... yeah... add fucking, migrating host options!

  • ElNino9 #14 4 years ago

    Yay for more maps. But I agree with Fab4, sort the sodding matchmaking out.

  • mattigan #15 4 years ago

    Plus XP penalties for dissconnects would be a good idea too, it's great to be halfway through a match and find that there are only 2 people left in your team as everyone else a fecked off!!

  • BM #16 4 years ago

    Domination is capture the flag, is it not (albeit multiple flags)?

  • Fab4 #17 4 years ago

    Domination is a variation of the War gametype from CoD3, without the directional push/pull.

  • Apostle #18 4 years ago

    I don't understand why everyone goes back to the past wanting an old game type CTF. There are loads more exciting modes than that already in CoD4. Isn't the Sabotage mode very similar anyway? One player must fetch the bomb and plant it, and the opposing team has an icon on their HUD showing where the fla....bomb-carrier is.

    Anyway, more importantly; PATCH.

  • T4RG4 #19 4 years ago

    Ability to paint camo onto your soldiers face. Not really.

    Ability to avoid being dragged into certain maps (i.e. avoid the couple one many people hate)

    Not being able to join matches in progress 'because your data is out of date' nonsense.

    To think that Modern Warfare 3's full reveal trailer was released on May 23, 2011. What's up with Activision and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 these days, the game has the highest amount of pre-orders to date, no need for extra Call of Duty: MW3 trailers. The game will sell without them, just like this one!
