Call of Duty 4 map pack comes to PSN late April

by Ross Miller { Mar 27th 2008 at 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.

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.

DangerMouse @ Mar 27th 2008 7:20PM

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.

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?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 7:03PM

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!

copa @ Mar 27th 2008 7:08PM

You're trying too hard.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 7:12PM

@copa

Your right, Gamestop employees are never that nice.

DangerMouse @ Mar 27th 2008 7:21PM

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

Carlitos Colon @ Mar 27th 2008 8:12PM

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.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 8:14PM

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

Jeff @ Mar 27th 2008 7:07PM

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.

Eggy @ Mar 27th 2008 7:35PM

I like you (for now).

SG @ Mar 27th 2008 7:18PM

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.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 7:21PM

Well 360 was thier lead platform...

qbix @ Mar 27th 2008 8:26PM

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.

xFenixKnightx @ Mar 27th 2008 10:32PM

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...

Nick @ Mar 27th 2008 9:14PM

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.

Eggy @ Mar 28th 2008 7:29AM

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.

Michael @ Mar 27th 2008 7:34PM

"No word on a Call of Duty 4 "Game of the Year" edition for PS3 owners."
what about this:

scratch @ Mar 28th 2008 2:02AM

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. =)

sifer2400 @ Mar 27th 2008 8:27PM

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

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 8:40PM

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.

sifer2400 @ Mar 27th 2008 8:45PM

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

Mooseman721 @ Mar 27th 2008 8:31PM

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!

misterhearn @ Mar 27th 2008 10:07PM

Let the fanboy ranting begin! Honestly to the person that said "due to 360 selling less then PS3 every month". I guess you count two months as all the time?

As far as the 360 getting the maps first BIG F'n deal! I'm glad to be an Xbox owner but its not like its exclusive. People talking about "M$ PAID THEM!" not likely, not for just 21 days. Its probably just easier for Infinity to do it or maybe its just a better relationship with M$, who knows. I'm pretty sure more copies of COD4 sold on the 360, but hey we'll all be playing it one way or another.

Terran499 @ Mar 27th 2008 10:28PM

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

Jays @ Mar 27th 2008 10:36PM

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.

Ninjakamster @ Mar 27th 2008 11:03PM

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

HB96st @ Mar 27th 2008 11:20PM

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

Brucie B @ Mar 28th 2008 7:00AM

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

Turb3k @ Apr 2nd 2008 6:28PM

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!

hxc_orangejuice @ Apr 3rd 2008 3:46PM

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
