The new Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which is scheduled to be released on Xbox Live in the first week of April (3rd or 4th), was sent off to certification at Microsoft today. The map pack is going to be bringing four new maps to the game with the addition of Creek (seen above), Broadcast, Killhouse, and Chinatown, which is a modern-revision of the classic Carentan from past Call of Duty games.
While the maps will be hitting Xbox Live the first week of April, PS3 users will STILL be getting the map packs, however it'll be a little later (21 days later approximately) before they'll be available on PSN for the same price. Right now plans for the PC version are unannounced but we are working to bring PC users the same content in the future, however logistics are being worked out on how to make that happen.
Everything you need to know about Modern Warfare III coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.
Darth,
That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.
CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.
That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.
No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
Why do the PS3 owners get shafted for 21 days?Why not release it at the same time, how hard can that really be?
Thanks a lot Activision. First you pull that crap with the lack of the Rock Band/GH3 patch, which only hurts customers and not you, and now you delay PS3 DLC? Hello, WE WANT THE MAPS. 2.5 million PS3 CoD4 users, willing to give you our $ for more maps for the greatest FPS in a long time. And you snub your nose at us? After promising to release day and date across all platforms? Nicely done jackasses. Nicely done. IW makes the best game in a while, and its hurt by stupidity like this.
No PS3 user will buy this. Not when the maps are released just a couple of days before GTA4. People will have moved on by then.
Why would this DLC be released for the PS3 later than the 360 when the game sells great for both consoles?
You guys are on crack if you no one will buy these packs. COD4 is frikken HUGE on the ps3 as well as PC and 360.
I have a love hate thing with it myself. I love the game, but I agree that peer hosted online gaming (ala xbox live) were you don't choose were the fvck you're playing sucks balls.
I like Warhawk were you can see a list of servers that have filters such as ping, maps, game etc...
Just throwing me in some game with some douce from the UK who quits halfway through is just lame. (b4 you flame, I used UK as an example of a useless connection, there are game quitting @sshole hosts everywhere)
Anyway I'll buy them. You guys have to admit, this game kicks @ss.
