PS3 CoD4 maps "taking longer than expected"

The PS3 Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack is taking longer than expected, Infinity Ward has said, but is well on its way to moving through Sony certification.

THey weren't going to have any content during those 2 weeks. and this thursday it will be up. at least on the US PSN Store.

chaosatom3335851d ago

"it's taking longer than expected"

because Microsoft giving them money has made them 'lazy'.

Sayai jin5851d ago

This has nothing to do with MS, but of course you know that already.

Back on topic, well they acknowledged that it was late and gave status update, what else can you ask for. It will be here soon.

Cicinho5851d ago

I hope GTA drops before this map pack. Fúck iw

iHEARTboobs5851d ago

True, there wasn't going to be any new content on the PSN store but if the map certification process was done it would have been up when the store came back up, but it wasn't. I thought we were supposed to get them next week but that's looking doubtful now. I love COD4 but lately it's pi$$ing me off when i start playing online and hosts are dropping out left and right. That irks the hell out of me. Especially when the patch was supposed to do something about that.

Science_NERD5851d ago

IW can f*** off. Im not buying this sh1t map pack. I havent played the game in a month and started last night, surprise surprise nothing has changed, theres still that lazy camper, the cheap@ss with juggernaut etc etc. Face it cod4 is old now, MGS4 online until past the release date of GTA4. Does IW really think people are going to pay $10 for some maps? IW Fvck you you piece of sh1t, cod4 is now sitting on the shelf at gamestop, at least that tradein went towards MGS4 preorder hahaha, suck a chode

As a PS3 owner, I am used to waiting!!!

To those who disagree...you are right, I still want everything now!

nutjuice5851d ago

was there a reason for the add-on delay? The game originally released on the same day. Then the GOTY version is set back for PS3? Stuff like this makes me worry about the game industry. I think there are a lot of shady behind the scenes deals involved that ruin the fun of the whole thing at times.

Bleucrunch5851d ago

as long as it gets here i dont care just get here.

GrammarPolice5851d ago

Don't forget about the original shady deal, EA paying an obscene amount of money for the NFL license. We all know what happened after that- Madden started to suck and gamers were left with no choice. The games industry has blown up and now we get to witness all the treachery that comes along with big business.

cokzilla235851d ago

any word on the rumble patch for cod4???

nutjuice5851d ago

Activision? Sony? Microsoft?

I'm sure Sony wouldn't mind. Activision shouldn't mind as well because they could sell more copies with even more interest because people want rumble now that there is DS3s out there.

Superiorrior5851d ago

Activision could potentially force InfinityWard to do so, but I don't think you understand, IW don't want to pay the $2,500 license fee, and don't wanna go back and do a weeks worth of programming, to say they're lazy is generous.

Apocwhen5851d ago (Edited 5851d ago )

Their community relations officer (fourzerotwo) stated PS3 will not be getting rumble in one of his blog comments. He came up with some c0ck and bull story about how the PS3 didn't get rumble support until too late in the COD4 development cycle and said it would require huge changes for them to incorporate it now. When people responded to him how companies like Insomniac managed to incorporate it into the likes of Resistance a year after it was released he had no response. IW have really given PS3 owners poor customer service all in all.

This was his response to the rumble support:

"@ Those Asking About Rumble: As I’ve said, there are no plans to add rumble to CoD4 PS3, the Rumble tech / support for the PS3 came way to late in Call of Duty 4 to be implemented, we’re almost half a year out since launch and it would require a major code overhaul to add that sort of feature in now."

fenderputty5851d ago

I love COD4. It's a freaking blast. I'll think twice about ever getting an IW game again though. The servers suck. The connection issues blow. The 360 gets preference. No rumble. No connection fix in the patch like they said. Crappy friend and matchmaking system.

For as refined as the game is, they sure as hell slacked in other areas. Kind of a let down for me actually.

RFOM2 can't come fast enough.

Cicinho5851d ago

Rumble is not coming to PS3 for COD4. Its as easy as throwing up a quick patch they need to hard code it into the game which they say is too much work.

THERE IS NO RUMBLE COMING FOR COD4

PimpHandHappy5851d ago

im not real sure if im going to get these maps. Im getting the Warhawk map and im also getting GT5 and GTA4 this month. COD is going to have to wait....for me atleast

It would be nice if these ppl seen they have made a ton of money and they would just give us a free map. I know thats wishful thinking but for games like Halo and COD the sales alone mean you have made your money back 10fold

Kleptic5851d ago

especially considering Epic/midway did it with UT3 on the PS3...which didn't exactly set the world on fire sales wise...

paying for maps is lame...I am not sure I will do it either...10 dollars for 4 maps right?...maybe eventually i will get them, or if pretty much all the guys on my list get them...but yeah I miss the PC stuff where map packs just sort of came out and that was it...and Epic is doing exactly that on the PS3...there is no reason other devs couldn't as well...

but with GTAIV, GT5P, and MGS4 all on the very immediate horizon...its a case of too little too late for these maps I do believe...

Fishy Fingers5851d ago

Epic had no choice but to give them to PS3 gamers for free. You could just get them off the net as a mod.

gen16805851d ago

They are probably holding them back so the new Warhawk maps and GT5 don't have to compete with them for our dollars.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

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.

I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired

P_Bomb282d ago

Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.

4Sh0w282d ago

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

porkChop282d ago

I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.

TheColbertinator282d ago

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

shinoff2183282d ago

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

neutralgamer1992282d ago

Seriously man we need games like

True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row

GTA can’t be the only option we need other games

P_Bomb282d ago

@neutral
Gun was Activision as well. Nice open world Wild West there imo.

neutralgamer1992280d ago

Gun is such a underrated game

SlothLordPootus282d ago

None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?

Rutaprkl282d ago

Older cods like Mw, Mw2 and WaW were way better than Call of Dutys nowadays

GoodGuy09281d ago

Make activision remaster mw2 (2009) multiplayer please xbox.
