Call of Duty 4's Map Pack is ready, release date uncertain

by Majed Athab on Apr 15th 2008 1:00PM

It turns out that the previously posted date of April 24 is not the finalized date for Call of Duty 4's Variety Map Pack. Infinity Ward's Fourzerotwo, on his personal blog, has divulged that the new downloadable content for the PSN is "taking a bit longer than expected."

Essentially, all the logistics for the DLC have been worked out, and it's just a matter of waiting on an official release date. Fourzerotwo stated, "I got word today that the Variety Map Pack for PS3 has went amazingly well through Certification at Sony and they plan on having it available on the brand spanking new PSN store in the coming weeks."

Fourzerotwo also assures PS3 gamers that the "Play With Infinity Ward" and "Double XP" weekend events will be coming along with the launch of the map pack. ~~There is still no word on the PS3 GOTY edition.~~ A PS3 Game of the Year edition is coming, yet no word on its release yet.

the only thing about the map pack is that GTA4 is coming out. If the maps arent out this week or next I doubt I'll get it since I have to pay for GTA4. So hurry up Sony.

I wonder if this has anything to do with MS complaining about getting x amount of weeks of exclusivity.

Paranoid much?

regardless i won't be buying it anyway. good game, but i'm not spending 10 more dollars with so many good games coming out. I would of bought if it came out at the beginning of the month like the xbox, but with GTA4 14 days away, and MGSO on monday, I won't have much time for cod4 anyway.

I agree with that. I bought the game the day it was released and played it heavy from january till april. I just sold it. This dlc needs to come out sooner than 5-6 months because by then i am tired of most games and sell them.

Yeah it kinda sucks that they are charging for this. On the PC you get maps all the time for free. Not only that but COD4 (for me) is getting boring...this is too little, for too much, too late.

I want some Ruuuuuuuumble!

Sony would do well yo fasttrak this for Thursday, considering it's one of the most popular titles at the moment.

Come on Sony, why not try to appease gamers for a change, rather than getting their backs up...

It doesn't sound like it's Sony holding up the release of it.

Agreed on the GTA timing. The same holds true for Warhawk -I'm not sure I'll be splurging on that either. I feel a bit let-down following the last DLC Omega Dawn which offered little of use for Zone Play. The new map was less than appealing.

hehe i just got this game last week.. I know .. I know....
However I love it!!!

and so I will prob pay 10 dollars just for the ability to have the small maps to play against my family members!!

DIE YOU CHACHS>>> DIE!!! SLICE!!!

its 10$ people stop being cheap. i make that in less than 10mins at work. its not gonna break ur bank account. its not going to get much use because gta4 will be out but it will come in hand if u ever feel like turning it on old schoo. if ps one games are getting download on the ps3 why wouldnt someone want to play new maps on COD.

Umm, you just compared a whole PS1 game and 3 maps for CoD4.

It's not that the money is going to break me, it's just other games will have my attention for a long time. I won't be putting that 10 to use. When i get bored of the other games, then perhaps i'll come back and buy the maps. But I don't seen cod4 holding my attention after MGS4O beta comes out, and then gta4. so why waste the 10 bucks on something i'm not going to use.

Why do I doubt that you make $60/hr?

Someone with your grammar skills makes 60 dollars an hour...

no its just

1 ps one game are GAMES not MAPS and some ppl dont buy them cuz infinty ward gave us the crapiest communication system u cant send message u cant tell ur friend if the servier hes trying to invite u is full so the least they can do is free maps

yeah right dude like u make 60 bucks an hour *rollseyes*

if you have to ask how much it is you cant afford it

If you never ask the price you don't value money. This will change when your parents quit paying for everything, trust me.

considering im 33 and have lived on my own since i was 18 .maybe you should stop watching naruto or whatever the rage is these days and work yourself

I'll definitely get the new maps if they come out on the 17th, otherwise, GTA 4 is where I'll be for the next few months. Infinity Ward will still make a load of scratch on these maps, but from an economic perspective it makes sense to capitalize on the new PSN interface and this final deadspot before the summer blockbuster game releases.

I agree, I think they waited a little too long to release these new maps. Should have possibly held back 1 or 2 maps initally ( I can think of 2) and rode the wave of popularity.
Releasing the "new" held back maps in Jan/Feb until the rest were finished in April.
With the release of GTA 4 right around the corner, It may be too late to cash in. I'm sure some gamers like myself will still download the new maps but many good gamers will have moved on.
I am guessing that after the "new" wears off of GTA 4 there will be a return to COD4. Anyone agree?
peace

I thought this was supposed to go out months ago
http://www.burnedbytheman.com/politics/the-gamestop-conspiracy-the-final-solution/

@toefer my apologies i meant in less than an hour at work i was multi tasking lol. ahh im gona buy even though i may not play it ill try it out for a lil when i can before gta comes out

Until this gets a rumble patch I wont be buying COD4.

then you won't be getting it, they have already said no rumble, they have too much code to deal with in an update.

Sorry man...402 confirmed that there's no rumble coming for the ps3 version of COD4, not unless we collectively boycott the new map content or something:

http://iamfourzerotwo.com/2008/04/07/ps3-dlc-in-certification/#comments

ur judging someone off of comments on a gaming website? definitely an idiot.

This map pack is long over due and should be coming with a rumble patch b/c whats the point in having the new controller if the number one online game doesnt support the rumble?

Didnt Sony say that once something is certified it is on the store the very next thursday?

"Double XP" weekend events, finally!
Can't help but think there'll be a delay before this arrives in Europe though :(

How much will it be when it comes out on PSN? Can't it be free like the Turok map pack??

i just wish they would stop dicking around with the release date! i dont know and can only speak for myself but i am sick and tired of playing the same maps all the time..
