Nearly every news tip this morning has been about one thing, Call of Duty 4. Prompted by an auto-update, gamers noticed that the highly anticipated patch for COD4 has finally been made available. Some of the key elements addressed in the patch include, quick mute system adopted from Halo 3, third-person perspective for spectator mode and new kill cam views for claymore, air strike and grenade kills that are sure to add insult-to-injury.
Potentially, the most sought after fix was host migration. While adding nothing to the overall experience of the game it does act as a virtual Advil for fixing an head-pounding annoyance. Originally, when the host would leave a multiplayer session all players would be booted back to the main menu of the game. With the new host migration feature the game selects a new host and while the map will restart, groups will be able to stay together.
Today's auto-update, coupled with the upcoming downloadable content, is another sign Infinity Ward is reloading their weapons in the battle for Xbox Live seniority.
