New Call of Duty 4 maps 'on the way'

by Ludwig Kietzmann on Feb 4th 2008 7:25PM

At last, after more than three years of clumsy existence and thousands upon thousands of tiresome, incompetent instances of waffling, we've managed to condense an entire news story into a remarkably efficient headline. It's quite miraculous, really, and it likely signals our arrival at the pinnacle of our blogging prowess. No longer will hasty readers have to suffer through pompous opening paragraphs and interminable tangents before laying eyes on the actual news!

So anyway, Activision has announced that new downloadable multiplayer maps for its smash-success shooter, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, are "on the way" to the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network. Questions regarding release date, price and quantity went unanswered by the publisher, thus leaving the headline as the only useful sentence in this entire post.

CoD4 + New maps= Awesomeness ,w00t!!!

i think new maps is awsome because we on the same maps all the time

I'm sure these will come out the same time at the update we were supposed to get last year.

I couldn't have said it any better myself, Ludwig!

Let's hope IW does the right thing and offers the new maps in the $5 range. Anything more than that is too much, if you ask me. With the enormous install base, this makes it an impulse purchase that lots of people would jump on.

Who knew code would be the building blocks of code? er, money?

Yeah, I'm guessing they release the maps about the same time that Rainbow Six:Vegas 2 comes out!

pwn

Ludwig... Nice post. Haha. :-p

As for the maps.. w00t! Hopefully they're free, or just not very much!

Anybody know exactly what the title update is supposed to address? I know they said it will alter the kill cams some (cams will follow grenades, air strike bombs, etc.), but that's all I heard.

I'm hoping it addresses the knife, as I get a lot of serious inconsistencies when trying to melee sometimes. I also hope it fixes the party system, i.e., actually keep parties together, instead of randomly booting one or more member when there's a network problem.

I'm not the only one who has these problems am I?

They should add a mod to rain INSTANT DEATHHHH on anyone who picks up a sniper rifle. Those snipers..arghhhh!
DEATH TO SNIPERS!!
X(

You've covered just about everything; mostly just some minor fixes regarding network issues and those Killcam changes you touched on, in addition to some fixes for certain weapons' hit detection (if I am correct, I believe that they are specifically targeting ACOG scoped weapons and sniper rifles).

As long as they don't charge 800 points for three maps, fine by me.

But this doesn't put you off the hook, IW! Where's our title update to improve connections?

XBL, PSN... PC ?

Exactly...is this coming to PC too?

Yeah but they'll probably be free for the PC.

I hope they are coming to PC and for free, since there is the mod editor for PC now.

I never said this about GoW or Halo 3, but I'll pay whatever they want.

woohoo!

I refuse to pay for extra content through XBLA but I love this game so much I don't think I'll be able to resist :(

Wow, if not for Ludwig's wit that would have been the most pointless article I've read all day.

If anything is changed, sniper rifles should only gain half a kill. Am I the only person who thinks COD4's levels give snipers an unfair advantage. (Most)

One more thing... invisible walls on top of buildings. End random granade deaths!

*or maybe I should just go to the fourms with this?

What I'd like to see changed if anything is your player pulling the pin when throwing an opponent's grenade back. The pin has already been pulled, so why do they waste time animating it again? it cuts down on realism and also makes throwing a primed grenade back pretty difficult, (and not in a good way).

Give us Well and 2for--oh, wait...nevermind.

Its too bad there's no single player DLC yet. I'm probably just saying that because I'm god awful terrible at multiplayer

I'd happily pay for new maps if they give us good playlists to play them on. Bungie made us pay for new maps for Halo3, then put them on crappy, random playlists with too many players per map that made each game into a mindless killfest that gold old VERY quickly. I understand not everyone buys the maps so you can't have them on a standard playlist, but please, give us some choice! Let us enjoy the maps we buy. kthxbye.

YAY!, new maps! I cant wait. There better be a fkin nighttime map.... i wanna actually USE my night vision.

Yeah, what nuke assault said... we do kinda need a couple of maps where its night...like a docks level or...!! u guys know the level in single player, F.N.G ? that could be a multi lvl =] mean sniper shoot outs...although in this particular shooter i am not a fan of sniping...(the trick to Call Of Duty 4 online is to keep on the move...sprint long distances and then slow to a sighted walk when in close quarters...lol sorry about babbling on.. just felt like sharing stuff =P...but yea great news about the new maps cant wait!!

I hope you guys put some OLD MAPS in there, like Eder Dam in Cod3 .

Eder Dam was the shit!

Yeah i do wanna get the maps, the only thing is if you have to pay for them, and no body else gets them then i bought them for nothing

Oh men I cant wait this is great viva cod4

Yes Finally is
coming 4 New Maps for the 360 and PS3
their names are BROADCAST, CREEK, CHINATOWN, AND KILLHOUSE.
Along with these four maps gamers will also get a retooled playlist. New additions include Variety Pack Team Deathmatch and Variety Pack Team Objective which will be the two playlists to have the new maps and only the new maps available. The rest of the modes will rotate the new maps the same as if they were among the originals.

hurry with the maps ay... WoOt wOoT lol

what i want changed is that when the host leaves, everyone else doesnt have too

Yay! New Maps! And The Variety Pack Sounds Good, But Only If The Maps Are Good I Suppose. Hope The Maps Are Good And Dont Cost Too Many MPoints. Any News On Challenges? Pistol And Grenade Challenges Would Be Good. Also New Weapons e.g Cluster Grenades. New Content Coming April!

If you visit activisions website and click on sitrep it will give you more infomation, Includin pictures of the new maps!!!

Infinity Ward call of duty 4 website -

i think they might be free becasue they didnt make the maos the people did so they didnt spend money making the maps so there for they should be free

maps are called creek, broadcast and chinatown they look immense

is about time new maps is what we need thank you

Who is the host? Is it the first person into the game? And the new levels look amazing!
