New Call of Duty 4 playlists being tested this weekend

by Ross Miller { Jul 13th 2008 at 9:00PM }

Next weekend, Infinity Ward community manager Robert "Fourzerotwo" Bowling is hosting private Call of Duty 4 matches to test out four new playlists: Bare-Bones Team Deathmatch (no perks, no kill streak rewards), Hardcore HQ (increased damage, no HUD elements and friendly fire on), Multi-Bomb Search and Destroy (every attacking team member has a bomb) and Hardcore Free-For All (extra damage, no HUD, no health regeneration). If you want to participate, send fourzerotwo a message over Xbox Live.

Multi-Bomb Search and Destroy sounds intense.

Now you tell us, Joystiq??

:'(

Still love you guys.

Joystiq has used that image a few times already but never with a silly speech balloon. That's like your signature, Joystiq!

As I rarely play anything other than Hardcore, this is excellent news. I've been taking a long break from CoD4 but this will no doubt get me going again once they're out.

Wow, sounds awesome! Can't wait for barebones!

My people and I tried Multi-bomb Search and Destroy in Private Match, and it's very unfair to the defending team. Other than novelty, I don't know why they would add it.

Everything else is solid, though. Here's hoping this also applies to nine-player teams. Maybe they could alternate it in Ground War, or have a new Ground War, or something.

I know you guys are complete X-Box partisans and all, but is there any reason there's not a PS3 tag hung on this article, nor a mention of PS3 in the article itself?

your source clearly states the same shit applies to PSN

I can't get into playing anymore since I hit lvl 55. I think the prestige mode is dumb. They should have set up prestige according to all the in-game accomplishments you get done.

Yes, hardcore ground war would make me a happy, uh, camper.

Too little too late for me.. The 'new' map pack was horrible and the game got old fast.

So they're catching up to 6 months ago on the PC version? MODS FTW!

Wait, is friendly fire normally turned off?? That's lame.

StrohBot24 @ Jul 14th 2008 12:47PM

was this this past weekend as in july 12-13 or next weekend?

I don't know, y'all. WW2 isn't a bad platform for FPS games.All the comments about modern vs. older weapons don't really mean a lot.It all depends on the shooter, not the weapon. Running around shooting each other in the face with P-90's is ok, but that ain't skill.
