Call of Duty 4 map pack comes to PSN late April

by Ross Miller on Mar 27th 2008 6:55PM

Infinity Ward' Fourzerotwo has announced on his blog that the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack is coming to the PlayStation 3 approximately 21 days after the Xbox Live release. Given the 360 pack is expected April 3 or 4, that puts the PS3 release on or near Thursday, April 24.

PlayStation 3 owners will pay the same $10 price for the four maps: Creek, Broadcast, Chinatown and Killhouse. Fourzerotwo also said they were working out the logistics to bring the maps to the PC. No word on a Call of Duty 4 "Game of the Year" edition for PS3 owners.

FIRST W00T

Wow, that is so great!

I am so happy you were able to type in a name and email and be able to post a comment on Joystiq.

I commend you, posting a comment on Joystiq is truly something to be admired.

How come weblogs.inc doesn't have some script that automatically deletes posts that contain "first!"?

I also don't get why people embarrass themselves by bragging that they were the first to comment on a blog post.

YOU GET A [-]! WOOT!!!

"I also don't get why people embarrass themselves by bragging that they were the first to comment on a blog post."

I think they're in the same crowd of people that feel special getting rick roll'd, then go out of there way to post on youtube that they got rick roll'd again.

I might be wrong.

Here, let me try my hand at being more of a douche than HALODEITY

Mission accomplished!

Also, I'm soooooo glad the superior-in-every-way-box 360 is getting it so much sooner!

Also [over-used internet meme]!

Where do i find the maps to download for ps3?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Microsoft employee presenting idea to J Allard to gain new Xbox 360 owners due to 360 selling less then PS3 every month.

Person 1: Hey did you hear about the new COD4 maps?
Person 2: There only on 360!
Person 1: only for 21 days...
Person 2: So! I can't wait that long! Lets buy it on 360
Gamestop employee: Thanks for coming, hope you enjoy your copy of CoD4

MS employee: You like Mr. Allard?
J Allard: Paying for trivial exclusives... very nice!

You're trying too hard.

@copa

Your right, Gamestop employees are never that nice.

They're that happy you buy there dirty used copies.

Ouch! Don't be salty dude, you really are trying to hard. Don't be mad at 360 just b/c the PS3 got hosed like it always does.

Funny you say that as I have a 360. Even check out my gamertag I share with my son... Patriotsfan93.

They're probably just gonna wait until the maps are a bit old and release them for free on the PC. If they released it for free right off, console gamers would be extremely pissed off. But if they tried to charge for them on PC, everyone would just pirate them.

Even those of us who buy games on PC say "fuck you" to horse armor. Full expansions-- fine. But we don't pay for shit that should come free with the patch, or that is inferior to what mod-makers are giving us anyway.

I like you (for now).

What's this bull****? You can't possibly be telling me that it takes longer to make a MAP for a PS3 game than a 360 game. This sounds like Infinity Ward is just prioritizing 360 development over the PS3.

Well 360 was thier lead platform...

Perhaps they decided to share the programmers equally this time around, instead of putting their very best programmers on the PS3 in order to ship on time.

Infinity Ward, those lazy devs. Oh I mean, they arent lazy they got a game running on PS3 *almost just as good as teh 360 version. I have both I can tell the diff, nothing major though.

Teh power of.... TEH CELL!!!!

Dont get me wrong, I love my PS3 but sometimes it gets treated like the slow one in the family.

Look, bottom line is, waaaayy more people are getting these for 360 anyway. You make a great game for 360 faster, you get your money back and then $ome fa$ter. Ahh Infinity Ward you sly bastards...

man ive been waiting for this. every time i hear news like that it just sucks. im in it for the long run. i really hope ps3 comes through in the future. a lot of good titles are coming out. touche to the xbox guys. they re really working hard for you. sony needs to think about this. so much disappointment in one month.

WTH are you talking about? For one Sony is not developing the game and besides what difference does 3 weeks make? You're not that smart if you pay 10 bucks for a few maps anyway.

"No word on a Call of Duty 4 "Game of the Year" edition for PS3 owners."
what about this:
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=270208

Michael you are my hero! I really want this game, but with used copies going for $45 or more on eBay (let alone the ridiculous $55 from bick and mortar pawn shops), I figured I'd just bit the bullet and get it new. but when i heard about the maps and possible GOTY version, i thought i'd hold off. then the ps3 GOTY was in question.

now i know, and can bide my time peacefully. and get together some BestBuy coupons to make it a bit cheaper. my goal is to never pay $65 (with tax) for a game this generation. =)

ps3 players always get pumped up the ass when it copome to multiplatform games

Nope the Wii does

-gimmicky controls
-bad graphics (the Wii is still more powerful then the Gamecube so don't give me shit about how its not next gen)
-lack of features
-no online
-no downloadable content

for an example see Rock Band.

yea but i mean like games/dlc are alawys late to the party

5 days before gta4. Yeah, everyone will be playing map packs lol. By the time i'm getting bored with gta, the maps will be free!

why do we have to wait an extra 3 weeks? More BS 360 sh*t

For those who don't already know, PS3's CoD4:GOTY Edition ships on April 23rd (according to Gamestop.com) so having the PS3 maps release later on the 24th on PSN makes sense. The same goes for 360's GOTY Edition which ships on the 1st and their DLC release a few days afterwards.

Unfortunately, the PS3 is the "Meg" (of Family Guy) of this generation, its just fun to hate on it for all you got. : (

Yeah... Well wait till HOME and lbp and...

What do yall expect...
I'll take my maps Now Please!

I have a ps3, xbox 360 and Wii, and i never use the ps3 other than for watching blu-ray, the graphics are no better and way more people have xbox's and play online with there xbox's! the ps3 has no games to buy anyways and im a little bit gutted i ever bothered to buy it now!
I know all the ps3 fan boys are gonna have a cry about this, but just except it xbox is best!

360 is if anything shorter of the ps3, tell me one thing thats the 360 can do that ps3 cant. other then play halo. which is becoming an over rated game. 360 cant even acces internet which even the piece o shit of a wii can do. so how is it better? and the only reason the 360 has more players is cause it was rushed to the markets and now the 360 owners are crying in the hearts that they got the piece of shit instead of waiting for the better system

you a legend!

WHY ARE YOU ALL SO GAY!!!

360's are heresy!!!

sorry to all PS3 owners (who rock!)

p.s. 360's are gay.

Bollocks

wuts a better name? trashbox 3shitty or shitbox plzfixme?(i think shitbox plzfixme cuz of the red circle of death)

how much will the new maps cost 4 ps3 in new zealand dollars???

360 is wack it wouldnt be so bad if you didnt have to have 6 fingers on each hand to work the controllers, i mean seriously whats with the little black and clear buttons they are nothing but a nuiscience.

wat time/hour does it come out

Hey
