Besides the expansive list of changes -- which you can find right after the break -- PC players will also get to feast their mouses on a brand new map! ... OK, sure, it's just a daytime version of the "Makin" map. But it's so free! And so not on consoles.
- Fixed exploits that allowed for power ranking servers.
- Fixed router related server authentication errors.
- Fixed HTTP Redirect functionality for downloading mods
- Fixed sound device crashes stemming from Emulated Sound Devices
- Fixed exploit which allowed players to color their name tag.
- Hits now register properly while targeted player is leaning.
- Enabled /cg_drawfps in multiplayer games.
- Fixed command-line +connect functionality
- /cg_fov no longer resets to the default value in between matches.
- Dedicated servers automatically reconnect to the Master Server in case the Master Server resets.
- "Accept Game Invite" is bound to its default key, F10.
- Implemented fix for attempting to join password protected servers from the server browser.
- Fine tuned Bolt-Action Rifles for balance.
- Screenshots no longer overwrite each other.
- Fixed various multiplayer map related issues and exploits.

Seeing as how the alternative CoD4 maps never came out on console.. I doubt this will. :(

Im sure you and the other 10 other PC players will be really excited. In all seriousness tho, its nice to see PC gamers are getting something before us. We usually get shit first and it doesnt make sense cuz sony and ms have to approve DLC and with PC's u dont need to

PC's ALWAYS gets the patch first. Well almost always.

Sony and Microsoft sometimes pay for DLC exclusivity.

Sad. Money and time that would have been better spent rewarding paying customers.

Yes, the darkness was the first reason I came up with in why I hate that map. In addition to all the cracks in the paper-thin walls where people will probably see you. Oh well, I like to complain.

Ah they got rid of power ranking? Now how am I every gonna get that 10th level of prestige?
Discotheque @ Feb 6th 2009 6:49PM
Am I the only one here feeling burnt out on the COD franchise? It would be nice if Activision loosened the leash on IW and let them work on a new IP.

I wouldn't be surprised if this map shows up on 360 (or PS3 for that matter). It may be just crazy old me, but it seems that the current Makin map is in very low rotation. I personally don't like it because it's too dark, maybe I'm not the only one, so designers decided to make it a day map.
Now, whether we get it as a free bonus or it's included in a DLC pack is to be determined.
I am bit surprised we haven't heard of any DLC packs yet, because I would assume we'd get one in the next couple months, which would be a good 6-8 months before the next COD drops.
