Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360/PS3/PC)

rumours on the date of release are about May... price i would imagine between £10-15, as that is the bracket for most add on content for this type of game.

Oh god I hate that... there's always one idiot who realizes you're a woman and its either "OMFG A GIRL? GIRLS SHOULDNT PLAY THIS LOL" or "Hey girl, add me on your PSN and we'll get to know each other better."

Um, no. And erm.... no.

:SS

Gamespot gets hands-on with new Call of Duty 4 maps
codcreekmap.jpg


Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling ("fourzerotwo" to you Call of Duty 4 fans) promised us something different from the game's first map pack, and Gamespot recently got a hands-on with two of the maps to put that to the test. The first map is called "Broadcast," set in the TV station from the single-player mission "Charlie Don't Surf." The largely indoor level has been expanded significantly from the single-player campaign though.

Next up is "Creek," a sprawling outdoor map full of natural cover from foliage and (you guessed it) a creek. There will be two more maps in the final pack, "Chinatown" and "Killhouse," which is apparently inspired by the single-player campaign's training level
 
Call of Duty 4 DLC Map Pack Hands-On

If you're tired of Middle Eastern villages and Russian forests, take heart: Infinity Ward has some shiny new battlefields on the way soon.
By Brad Shoemaker, GameSpot

Last year was exceptionally strong for first-person shooters. Yet despite being one of the latest genre releases in the year, Call of Duty 4 towered over its competition. There are so many shooters released these days that it's hard to stick with an online community for more than a few weeks, but even months later, we're still obsessively playing COD4's addictive online mode with no end in sight. So we counted ourselves among the incredibly fortunate when we headed down to developer Infinity Ward's Southern California offices recently to check out the game's first downloadable map pack, which is coming later this spring.

Broadcast is taken from and expanded upon the Iraqi TV station mission in COD4's single-player campaign.
We got a chance to chat with IW community relations manager Robert Bowling--better known to COD4 diehards by his online handle, "fourzerotwo"--about the pending downloadable maps. The first thing he told us was the first thing we wanted to hear about this pack: The Middle Eastern and Russian environments will no longer comprise the entirety of the retail game's lineup. Now that the team has moved on from the single-player campaign (and has time to work up some new art assets), we can expect to see new Call of Duty 4 maps set in entirely new locations separate from the original game.

Well, except one of the maps in this pack. It's called Broadcast and is lifted from the Iraqi campaign "Charlie Don't Surf," in which you assault a television station where the enemy is holed up. Don't think the team just copied and pasted the campaign map into this multiplayer pack, though. It does contain the iconic, cavernous main room with its dozens of computer monitors and TV screens, as well as a big map of the world on the wall. We can tell you from experience that that's a great place for multiplayer firefights, with all those cubicles to duck down behind and all that equipment just waiting to get shot up by you or your opponents. A large-scale multiplayer match concentrated in that room is going to be serious calamity.

But Broadcast has been expanded significantly throughout its incarnation in the campaign. There are multiple routes into and out of that main room. Some routes lead up to the building's second floor, replete with smaller rooms and hallways. The map is mostly indoors, so air strikes and helicopters will be largely ineffectual--except up on the roof, which you can access from the second floor, as well as in the expanded parking lot area outside the main building. On the other side of that parking lot is another new, smaller building that you can hide out in as well.

The second map we played is entirely new, and it's named Creek. But there's a lot more to it than a simple babbling brook. This is a very large-scale outdoor map with a small cluster of houses on one side of it. In the middle, there's a huge ravine circling the perimeter with multiple levels of pathways up its side. Down below, the trail leads along the eponymous creek bed to a waterfall. Elsewhere along the base of the ravine, there's a lengthy and winding cave that cuts underneath the hill then out to the other side. As big as it is, there are a lot of places to go on this map; from prone sniping atop the cliff face to hiding out behind a rock in the tunnel, you never know where an opponent will be attacking you.


Creek is a massive original map with a high ravine, cliffside pathways, and a tunnel through the base of the hill.
Broadcast naturally looks exactly like COD4's campaign, but Infinity Ward's artists have done a nice pass on Creek to give it a distinctive look, with rocky terrain and various sorts of foliage that are more verdant than what you've seen in the previous Russian maps. It all feels a little sunnier and more pleasant than the game's other forested maps, too--at least until you catch a slug between your teeth. Because there's so much underbrush and shrubbery on top of the cliffs here, Bowling pointed out that it's a great map for you to use the sniper's ghillie suit for blending in while going for some sneaky kills.

There will actually be four maps in the final pack, though we can only really tell you about these two. The other two will be Chinatown, which is pretty self-explanatory, and Killhouse, which is a "bonus" map that we didn't get any hard details on (though we were told to think of the single-player campaign's initial training level as a reference). The map pack will be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the coming months for an unspecified price. But interestingly, Infinity Ward hasn't decided how the maps will be distributed on the PC, where players are much more expectant of postrelease bonus content being released for free. Realistically, Call of Duty 4's multiplayer is so absurdly good that would have gladly handed over cash for whatever maps the designers could have phoned in--so we're especially glad to see them putting so much time and care into this first release.
 
Woohoo new maps!

I'll be on tomorrow night Dave - watching a few DVDs with the missus tonight.

:)

Haha as if. :LOL:

I hope the new maps come to PS3 soon, I think there definitely needs to be more added. As great as this game is, and fuck me it's so good, more areas are needed.
 
OMG YANA CAN I PLZ ADD U 2 MY FRNDZ LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTYL,ROLF

I cant think of anymore text lingwa
 
Im keeping this game as I do love it, but only when im on same time as my mate, get some banter going and not some anoying kid in your ear all game.

Plus if I want to switch between tactical (R6V2) and Run and gun (COD4), i got my options
 
The IW forums are mentioning that the Feature Patch is due out, or is out for 360 users and will be out this week for PS3. Option included to turn off the sound of pissflap players playing R'n'B music and saying "uh uh uh" too much, also changes to sniper fire, ACOG aiming and new killcams.

Pant movement?

Same here, I'm not making the mistake of getting rid of this again, it's too much fun!

I've read loads of dodgy RSV2 reviews today too - hope it's not crap. :(

Ah, must just be PS3 imminent then! Is it better or worse now on 360?
Click to expand...

I think its much better - the Kill cams are really good addition - I never really used the Snipers before - but I like playing with them now.

You can mute everyone easily - which is nice.

But there have been alot of complaints because they have put in new Respawning points after you die.

So you sometimes respawn right infront of the enemy - which is stupid.

But I think it is much better.
 
Thank god, I hate it when some idiots just put crap music on the mic, it does my head in. And I'm glad the snipers will be sorted, it's so annoying when in the past I've shot someone twice, sometimes three times with a sniper rifle and they've just ran off alive.

One thing I want to complain with this game is when you get invited to a match and you immediately get SERVER IS FULL. I have to be invited somewhere around 3/4 times before I can actually join the game. >_<

That is annoying as hell. I try to join or invite you PS3 lot and it seems like I never get to play with some of you. And when I do get the chance, I play like utter crap!:ROLL:
 
Exactly how I feel!! Its so annoying! I don't know if its like that on other formats but it does my head in. I know you've tried to invite me to matches a few times and it's seemed like its about to connect but oh no, it's unable to connect to the host... God knows why it does it but it's the only annoying thing about the game.
 
Going into Prestige Mode was probably the stupidest thing I could have done! -bleh

Still having a hard time connecting to some of you, but damn (Yana) rumble_bunny, you kick ass at CoD4!

Still no clue who DaWu is, but he's lethal man. I wish connecting was easier so that we could do some team matches. I might need to invest in headphones!
