Variety Map Pack sponsored by NVIDIA hits PC June

Saturday 31 May 2008 | Post a comment

Nivida is sponsoring the PC Variety Map Pack. This means that the PC will get it for free.

"Great news! Heads up that the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack sponsored by NVIDIA will be available worldwide for our PC players next week on June 5th!

NVIDIA is making it possible for PC players to download the map pack for Free on the PC thanks to their sponsorship. In addition, expect to see quite a few promotions popping up leading up to the launch of the map packs on the 5th and beyond. I know NVIDIA has a lot of great things planned for PC users in addition to maps becoming available.

There’s going to be some PC specific previews going up online this weekend I believe that will cover how well the maps play on the PC version as well as some contests and promotions happening all next week. I’ll be posting up details on them as they get started all this week!

The Variety Map Pack includes four new maps for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer including Broadcast, Chinatown, Killhouse, and Creek.

In addition to the map pack hitting, PC Players will be receiving the 1.6 Patch for the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that will add support for the new maps, fix a server crash exploit recently reported by the community, and a few additional features / bug fixes.

FourZeroTwo Blog Update - 5/29/08

Friday 30 May 2008 | Post a comment

FourZeroTwo has an update for us via his blog.

"The Dtoid army is descending on the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky tri-state area for their largest ‘No Apparent Reason Party’ (NARP) ever this weekend and I’ll be flying in from Los Angeles to join them.

With, whats growing to be nearly 1000, gamers locally and from all over the country making their way by land, sea (wait… it’s ohio..), and air to the event for no apparent reason other than to hang out with fellow like minded gamers (and COD4 fans of course); I’ve decided to come fully prepared and will be packing heat… in the form of limited edition Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare t-shirts fresh off the press. We’ll be throwing them out to the crowd during the party so be prepare yo’ snatchin hands.

Oh yeah… did I mention I got some awesome news coming down the pipeline at the end of the week for our PC players? I can’t say what it is now, but I’m sure most of you can see it coming a mile away. I’ll have that info for you around Friday hopefully.

Meanwhile, those of you subscribed to the video blog and those (nearly 9 thousand) of you who sent in messages and questions you’d like to see answered in the next video blog, I have a new one currently in the works that answers a lot of your questions as well as will be giving you a sneak peek at a line of new shirts we’re getting printed for Call of Duty 4 fans (and giving some away to subscribers), and one of the prototypes we already printed. I’m going to try to get that out to you guys as soon as I can (I want to capture some footage at the NARP event hopefully) to add to it, in addition to the fact that there is an awesome new Gaming site that’s preparing to launch in the not too distant future that will be playing a crucial role in the future episodes of the video blog series… details on that coming wayyy later."


Wonder what the news is for the PC players? DL content may be or maybe the 1.6 patch news. Guess we will have to wait and see.

The only catch is that you must purchase it before Tuesday, otherwise you will have to pay full price. For more head on over to the Steam Website.

James Bond Game To Employ Call of Duty 4

Monday 12 May 2008 | Post a comment

Well apparently the Call of Duty 4 game engine will now reach well beyond the modern combat battlefield. Rumors have surfaced that the new James Bond Quantum of Solace title, which is being developed for the movie release, will employ the Call of Duty 4 game engine. Even though I haven't picked up a Bond title since Golden Eye, this will certainly get me to take a second look at it when its released.
"Only a few seconds were dedicated to talking about this new Bond game, but at least one bullet point was a doozy: Activision announced that Quantum of Solace will use the same amazing engine (at least on some platforms) that powered 2007's graphically-astounding Call of Duty 4. According to Griffith, Quantum of Solace, "uses the Call of Duty 4 engine and technology to bring Bond games to a new level." How this will work out for the various versions of the game that did not see the release of Call of Duty 4 (the title is planned for release on just about every system on the planet) is unknown, but for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 fans into Bond, nobody's engine does it better."

Thanks to V3D for this bit.

PS3 Variety Map Pack Released

Sunday 27 April 2008 | Post a comment

Fourzerotwo has the news that the Playstation 3 Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been released. However, it is region locked for you international users out there, so make sure you read the following:

Heads up for international users purchasing the Variety Map Pack for the PS3. The Variety Map Pack is Region Locked, which means that you MUST purchase the version of the map pack which is compatible with the version of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game disc that you have.

For example:

If you have the GERMAN version of the game, you MUST purchase the GERMAN version of the map pack.

If you have the UK version of the game, you MUST purchase the UK version of the map pack.

Just make sure that the Disc version and the Map Pack version matches up. If you have an UK version of the game, DO NOT purchase a German version of the map pack. It won’t work. The same goes for any other mismatched version.

There you have it, so make sure that you get to downloading it right away!

Infinity Ward Will Not Retake Franchise

Wednesday 23 April 2008 | Post a comment

Well Activision today put to rest a flurry or rumors suggesting that Infinity Ward was planning on retaking the Call of Duty franchise. The rumors suggested that Infinity Ward would be the sole developer of all Call of Duty titles after Call of Duty 5, which is currently being developed by TreyArch. However, in a post from EuroGamer, Activision assured the community this would not be occurring.
"Activision has rubbished rumours that Infinity Ward has moved to take control of the entire Call of Duty series.

A spokesperson for the publisher told Eurogamer it was a total fabrication, and that Treyarch and Infinity Ward would still alternately create instalments in the shooter series."

"The Variety Map Pack DLC and patch required to add the maps to the game have went to Certification at Sony last night.

We’re working to see if we can secure a firm release date to pass along to you guys now, and I’ll post that as soon as I have it.

In addition the map pack should be hitting the PSN store around the same time the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition for PS3 hits store shelves. I will have exact details on the GOTY edition, release dates, and more hopefully this week as they’re being finalized."

Variety Pack Available For Download

Friday 4 April 2008 | Post a comment

As of 9:30 AM EST Xbox Live users were able to purchase and download the new Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4. Those who pick up the pack this weekend will also get something extra, the possibility of picking up XP while playing on the maps. The download is about 445 MB and costs 800 MS points. Here is the description from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
"Reinforcements have arrived! The Variety Map Pack includes four new multiplayer maps featuring a variety of locations. “Creek,” a wide-open village ravaged by combat where concealment is the difference between life and death; “Broadcast,” fight throughout an enemy communications building with confined corridors and wide-open parking lots; “Chinatown,” a foggy downtown district, lit only by a full moon and the neon glow of the city; and “Killhouse,” featuring a desolate training warehouse filled with a variety of building mock-ups and soft and hard cover points."

On a side note, keep checking back this week for a review and guide to the new maps. In the meantime enjoy.

Map Pack Delay Rumors Put To Rest

Thursday 3 April 2008 | Comments [ 1 ]

Turns out all those rumors you have been hearing about the Variety Pack release being delayed are false, confirms Activision. They have assured us that despite a rumor stating the release date had been moved a week back, the original release of April 4th will be met.
"Despite what the internet might tell you (including some “official” sources), the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare variety map pack has NOT been delayed until the 10th. As of right now we’re pushing certification for an on-time release for April 3rd or 4th. As of right now though, I’m being told that it’s a good chance it will be released worldwide (except for Japan) tomorrow night / early-Friday morning."

It is believed the rumors might have been part of a larger April Fools joke, however I don't think anyone, especially Activision, really laughed.

Call Of Duty 4 New Single Player Content?

Tuesday 1 April 2008 | Post a comment

Videogamer recently got the chance to sit down the developers at Activision to get the scoop on the future of Call of Duty 4. One particular feature gamers are keeping an eye on is the possibility of new content for the single player mode, downloadable through Xbox Live. While the developers aren't confirming anything, they said the possibility remains on the table. Here's a snippet.
"CoD4 is currently the most played game across Xbox LIVE and PSN and has sold phenomenally well across multiple consoles since its release late last year. While gamers have been looking forward to new multiplayer maps for some time, we haven't heard anything about new single-player content.

When asked if gamers will ever see new single-player DLC for CoD4, Infinity Ward programmer Jon Shiring told VideoGamer.com: "I wouldn't rule it out but we don't have any plans for that right now."

Developers tend to prefer to release new multiplayer content than single-player content when it comes to first-person shooters. When it comes to CoD4, Shiring explained, the new DLC was in direct response to community requests."

Xbox Live Cheaters Beware

Thursday 27 March 2008 | Post a comment

Despite an overwhelming hatred, cheaters and stat padders have been a part of gaming for as long as anyone can remember. However, for those who choose to cheat on Xbox Live, the penalties for these activities have just gotten a lot more serious. Microsoft has announced several new ways it hopes to curb the growing number of cheaters on the network, while publicly embarrassing them at the same time.
"A LIVE player who obtained their gamerscore in this abnormal way will

- Find their gamerscore reset to zero, and
- Be unable to regain all previously earned achievements, and
- Be labeled as a cheater for the community to view.

While players who have been identified by these criteria will start from a zero gamerscore, they will still be able to gain achievements for future games. In other words, we give them another chance to earn future achievements by earning them as other fair players do. The original gamerscore correction will remain permanent without any way to appeal."

While it doesn't go as far as Valve's anti-cheating policy, where hackers loose their account, it is most certainly a step in the right direction.
