Most PC developers save it up and label it an "expansion pack." Dumbass....

Well, granted, some of the mod made maps for stuff like Counter Strike and UT2003/4 are better than the stuff made by the actual developer.
That said, these are professionally made maps by people that actually know what they are doing. Ofcourse they are going to charge you money for them.
I know that people lambasted EA for the pay-for-weapons scheme on bad company, but really I'd like to see some new weapons in the next expansion (sorry, "Map Pack"). I don't even care if they have the exact same stats as guns that are already in the game. Tired of looking at the same weapons over and over =D

Infinity Ward released all their new maps for free before they started working on consoles. It IS the "common practice." Anyone who has been with the developer from the start knows that they supported the PC players very well.
Call of Duty 2 changed all that- when they never released the new maps on PC, all their forum regulars walked out and their community manager essentially apologized. I would expect better PC support for CoD4, or they are going to lose all of their PC sales.
One final note about IW and piracy- since CoD1, all of their games have had cd key checks while joining multiplayer servers. I hear they skipped that for CoD4, and if true, it was their own laziness responsible for their high piracy rates.

As soon as I finish this paper that I'm supposed to be writing (instead of reading this Web site) I'll be spasmodically convulsing in front of the tv like most everyone else.

Why are you against such a great game? That just isnt right, especially since its probably the best game on your fav console Sheppy. C'mon now!

Nah, not against the game, against the publisher. Trying to snag a used copy somewhere on the cheap. Everytime a listing goes up on craigslist, it's usually claimed within a couple hours... but all isn't lost. I added ~25 genesis games to my collection through that site on the cheap.
Besides, I just wanted to mention that a lawsuit is coming where a child shot another child over skills learned in God of War....
Because it amuses me so..

Apparently those people that dont exist to MS also don't happen to realize that their countries have their own rules and regulations for sales in said countries, that sometimes work to slow down the process of new things coming their way.
Wake up. There is no MS conspiracy against you.

Of course there is an MS conspiracy. Why just the other day, my computer offered to install a horoscope gadget to my Vista.... HOW DID THEY KNOW MY HOROSCOPE?!? Or the weather for that matter?!? I go outside and it's 39 just like my computer told me....

Can't wait to see these new maps on the PC. I'm all for variety. I went off CounterStrike because everyone insists on playing Dust2 and only Dust2 all the time. COD4 servers generally have more choice but even so I think the game needed new maps.
IMO the game needs BIGGER maps too. Call me old-fashioned but I'd rather play a game of skill, not one of spam, which is what it is when you have about 40 people running about the place. Shipment? It works great as a map for 2 people playing split-screen on a console. With 32 it's just f*cking stupid.
Personally my attitude to COD4 online is a love-hate one. Sometimes it's great. And sometimes it's all about f*cking kangaroos constantly leaping around getting accurate sniper shots across the map in mid-air, spawn-rapings, random different server rules that see you kicked from one for camping and then kicked from another for not camping enough... and I have no problem with anti-cheat systems so long as I don't have to keep manually updating them all the damn time... which I do with PunkBuster.
Anyway rant over, my point being if the new maps are good enough to get me playing COD4 again and make me overlook all those faults I'll be happy.

Meh. I'm more excited about the Halo 3 maps anyway. How come all the Call of Duty fans rip on Halo's $10 DLC when they all lap at the feet of Call of Duty DLC, which costs the same, has no plans whatsoever of becoming free, and Halo 3 has Forge? What's the matter with you people?!?

Halo 3 has Forge? Timesplitters has a Map editor. SSBB has a stage designer. UT3 ships with Unreal Editor 3.5. I wish people would stop jacking off over Forge...
