Call of Duty 4 map pack delayed a week, now hitting XBL April 10

The Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack will not hit this week like planned. Instead, that April 3 or 4 date has been pushed back to April 10, according to the official Game of the Year Edition website. We're betting this is the real deal, despite today's notoriety. If it's Activision's or Infinity Ward's idea of an April Fools' prank, then we're a bit disappointed by the lack of effort.

YOUR RIGHT MICROSOFT IS A FOOL! THEY HAD 21 DAYS EXCLUSIVE WITH THESE MAP PACKS AND NOW THEY HAVE ONLY 11.

Tom Cruise: Apr 1st 2008; 8:07PM

SAY IT AIN'T SO ROSS!!
SAY IT AIN'T SO!
This better be April Fools

Ross Miller: Apr 1st 2008; 8:13PM

"It ain't so"

There I said it. Now that doesn't fix anything.

Edog Lost: Apr 1st 2008; 8:18PM

Well. I'm crying just a little bit less now.

Howl Pendragon: Apr 1st 2008; 8:17PM

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

Infinity Ward was browsing Joystiq and there like "oh hey theres Howl, he always has unbiased comments... he said people play cod4 over halo 3!! lets trick him and not release the map pack causing people to get bored with the same maps and make them play halo 3!!"

Delgado: Apr 1st 2008; 8:33PM

No one actually pays attention to you, much less someone that is actually important.

You attention whoring only works when you get your mom to give in and buy you ice cream.

Howl Pendragon: Apr 1st 2008; 8:50PM

Wow ever heard of sarcasm?

Delgado: Apr 1st 2008; 9:16PM

Wow ever heard of a joke? :P

Obie: Apr 1st 2008; 8:24PM

Oh well, a week won't kill me.
It'll be worth the wait.

Howl Pendragon: Apr 1st 2008; 8:30PM

Actually no because since SONY is such a good company Infinity Ward said they will make a glitched and bugged version for 360 to screw around with Microsux!

Obie: Apr 1st 2008; 8:57PM

LOL wut?

xFenixKnightx: Apr 1st 2008; 9:48PM

Keep forgetting to tell ya Obie, love that avatar you got there. +1

Edog Lost: Apr 1st 2008; 8:29PM

Could it be that the maps are available to those with a token on that date?

HB96st: Apr 1st 2008; 8:37PM

It's just IW waiting to get the content correct for the PS3 release.. Y'know, like T2 did with GTA4.

Hackman, I wanted to give you a +, but I was too late. So heres three digital ones: +++ you had me rollin'!

OMGOMG: Apr 1st 2008; 8:52PM

Why is Michael Vick on the cover?

Howl Pendragon: Apr 1st 2008; 9:02PM

Nope, this guy hunts people not dogs.

Sky Shark X2: Apr 1st 2008; 9:15PM

Well there goes my plan of having a fun relaxing friday night after presenting my senior project's product portion(took a whole lot of hours to do)with my friends on the new maps.

Jake11: Apr 1st 2008; 9:32PM

humperdinck: Apr 1st 2008; 9:26PM

xFenixKnightx: Apr 1st 2008; 9:56PM

nxtiak: Apr 2nd 2008; 4:57AM

matt: Apr 3rd 2008; 2:23AM

This was posted by the community manager at Infinity Ward. It states the maps have not been delayed and are scheduled for an early friday morning release. I am hopeful.

ap593: Apr 3rd 2008; 9:31PM

I speculate that this has something to do with playstation whining that they are just behind with everything. WAHHHHHH are online community sucks! WAHHHHH 360 graphics are always better! WAHHHHHH are console flat out blows! WAHHHHHH exclusive content for GTAIV goes to 360! WAHHHHH cod4 maps go to XBL way before PSN!

Steven: Apr 4th 2008; 4:35PM

if you go to that website they mentioned it says April 4 they changed it :D

finn: Apr 4th 2008; 8:25PM
