Call of Duty 4 landed in the top ten in our 2007 Game of the Year Awards, but who filled the other nine spots? We've got Halo 3, Portal, Rock Band, Peggle (yeah Peggle), and more. Take a look.

I really wish that the devs, Microsoft, or whoever is doing this would quit with the charging for this kind of stuff.

Microsoft charges publishers a massive fee for post-release data updates (such as new maps). Giving them out for free would be a huge financial hit for Infinity Ward. Not to mention they had to pay the level designers for their time creating the maps, as well as QA testers to verify their stability, and probably a few devs for specific code support.

I will pay 900 points if they take away shipment along with the deal.

Shipment is a great map if you know how to play it. ;)

I know how to play it, yo use sonic boom, matredom, and when you spawn, throw a nade. Then you die and the nade that you drop when you die kills someone els, thus keeping your k/d ratio up. =Laym!

Can't wait for Chinatown. Now, all they have to do is remake Rocket and Railyard from CoD1 and the game will be complete (as long as said levels take place in winter Russia like the first game).

Hahaha, it already is. Everyone is all excited for the CoD4 map pack- but the Halo 3 one is a ripoff and not worth it?
Regarding the number of maps in each pack- CoD4 maps must take much less time to make and are easier to balance. Halo has to balance weapon spawns, vehicles, many more gametypes, plus set it up for Forge.
How does CoD4 even integrate the maps into the matchmaking service?

Fish,
Are you serious? The level of detail for 1 COD4 map is multiplicatively more than a whole pack halo stages. AND the COD4 maps ARE balanced...which is more than I can say for any halo map that they bothered to ship with. One of the maps they sold was barely a map but more of a "make your own darn map" map.
And getting 33% more maps for your buck is not a small amount.
There's many good reasons why despite the zillion dollars spent on advertisements, COD4 is the most played game on live right now. One reason...better maps.

Fish, they have announced 2 new playlists. Apparently, only 2 in the beginning? Variety Team Deathmatch and Variety Tactical or something like that.

@JakubK666:
Correction -- it's harder to turn a single player map into a balanced multiplayer map.
@everybody:
For the last time, it costs IW nothing to send out a PC update, but Microsoft charges them an assload to put out an update on the 360, that's why PC users get the maps for free. I play the game on the 360, but would probably buy it for PC as well if my PC were good enough to run it.

cmon give the halo devs a break!!! Theyre trying as hard as they can to remove the gheyness from halo3...
but sadly the levels of fehggotry involved in shooting 10 year old kids who don't stop saying fuck...not even for one second.. is simply too much, ergo CoD4 wins

The thing I hate about this is that the PC users are going to get these for free, while we have to shell out money for them. I don't see how thats fair at all...

Yeah, well life isn't fair.
PC users also don't get the huge game releases nor large amount of games that consoles users get.

Have a heart, they've already had to spend lotsa $$ on buying a PC that can run COD4 well.

I'm sick of paying for downloadable content I could see paying for it on the PS3 but on the 360 it should be free since we have to pay XBOX Live and paying for themes and gamer pictures is a rip off most of them should be free.

Kodros, IW isn't "footing the bill" for the FREE PC map releases so thats an irrelevant argument. I am not a fan of this $10 for maps BS that started recently, sure I could refrain from buying it but then I will be screwed when trying to play a game online because most of the sheep will shell out money for something that should be free.
I can't believe the screw paying I'm gunna download the CD/DVD for free generation is this ready to shell out money for stuff that has always been free for PC users.
