New COD4 playlists inch toward release

I don't get it.... I feel like there is a new playlist every time I play COD4..... the maps are always in different sequences....

Does this mean they're coming out with new maps? or just changing the order of the existing maps? I dont get it....

yeah i was reading that post. the Hardcore Ricochet sounds awesome

NEVERMIND I GET IT... New "Playlists" really mean new game modes:


Hardcore Headquarters - No Patch Required

Testing is completed for Hardcore HQ. This playlist has standard HQ rules w/ Hardcore Settings. Limited HUD, Increased Bullet Damage, and Friendly Fire Enabled.

Hardcore Ricochet Playlist - Currently Testing

We’re currently testing this playlist now to see if a patch will be required for it or not. We should know soon. This is the No Teamkilling playlist. Any damage a teamkiller attempts to do to their team mates is reflected onto themselves only. Therefore, if they attempt to shoot an RPG into the ground at the beginning of the match; the only person who will die, is the Teamkiller. This eliminates the fear of being shot in the back by some asshole, but still encourages players to play tactically and not throw random nades, because if you accidentally hit a teammate, you’re only going to end up killing yourself and they’ll go unharmed. No Teamkilling, No Random Nades. This playlist will include the variant for Hardcore Teamdeathmatch, Hardcore Search and Destroy, and Hardcore HQ.

Sudden Death Sabotage - Currently Testing

Sabotage with no respawns. Fast-paced and intense Sabotage. No more hiding with the bomb until time runs out for sudden death. Increased XP per kills to encourage Team Deathmatch mentality. Defend your objective, while attempting to secure the bomb and plant on theirs. Once you’re dead, you’re dead. No second chances. We’re currently testing to see if this can be implemented without a patch.

Second Chance Search and Destroy - Currently Testing

Search and Destroy with 1 respawn each. This completely revamps your Search and Destroy tactics. No longer will lucky frag or well-placed claymore end your chance of victory. Each player has 1 respawn, creating longer more thoughout attack / defend strategies. Eliminate enemy players, and cut off their reinforcements while you defuse.

Man if you could kill Stay Puff in this game, i'd be all over it!!

If I can headshot the pilot or gunner in the chopper I'd be happy.

Yes, that's nice. So when will new maps be coming?

I cant wait, though I mainly play hc S&D, playing hc ricochet sounds awesome, not a big fan of TDM, and dont really have that many problems with team killing since I mostly play with friends, but when i jump on and nobody on for a quick couple of games it should work very well.

Why do they need hardcore ricochet? Can't they just modify all playlists with reflective damage? COD2 had a function for people hosting so they could have reflective on. It's the same concept except applied to all playlists.

It just seems like a playlist dedicated to not getting spawn killed by your own asshole teammates.

I just think its lame that they call them "playlists". Why is a game mode called a list? Makes no sense.

I'd buy COD4 if the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man was in it! Ghostbusters is my favorite movie!

And the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man isn't so tough! I've known a lot of sailors in my day... they may seem like tough guys but if you know where to scratch them they turn into Disco Queens! (Snap!!)

Best screenshot ever. Now that's a game mode I'd like to see!!


Make it happen IW!!!

P.S. I thought it was the Stay Puft (puffed) marshmallow man. Not Stay Puff.

I just want the current paid maps to be free (or at least discounted). I don't feel like my 60$ game should cost me 70$.

it would be awesome if the person who killed the stay puft marshmellow man, could control him in the next round, i would pay to be able to do that!
