@PhilESkyline: 1-1/2? ... give me a break their are 4, and their all solid... the ones that were in the game you only saw 1/10th of what the actual multiplayer maps are... the one with the control room, you saw the control room... not all the rooms upstairs, the roof, the buildings across the street, the gas station, the large lobby... the back stage area with cameras and stuf.f.. its huge.

phantam

they play them ... but they play some more than others in diff game types... sabotage is HUGE in chinatown... its probably one of the favorites already for sabotage....

creek is wicked for TDM especially with teams that have good snipers.

regardless.... I CANT WAIT FOR ANOTHER MAPPACK... their is going to be another one right?

phantam

oh good! so you guys can release a new weapons pack for free then.

Jackel2072

I loved COD4 but I'm embarrassingly bad at it. So I won't be downloading these myself. I'll just stick to trusty old Halo.

FlyLikeAMouse

Yeah, wish the new maps came out a little earlier but no longer interested in COD4, it was a great run while it lasted.

exkon

What really annoys me is how often the new maps are skipped. I can't believe people would pay for something and hardly give it a chance.

I have a feeling that a lot of the skippers are unwilling to play the new maps because they don't know every nook and cranny yet and can't hang without having that intimate knowledge of the map.

doubtful

They should have released the PC map pack early this month. They would have gotten my $10 (I prefer the pc version). Now my mind is all GTA and if I play a little cod4 I probably wont feel like getting new maps.

jarjarwang

@Kanik: I assumed this already but what you're telling me is that after we buy these maps we have to wait for them to show up in the rotation? I was hoping for them to have modes that would let us just play with a rotation of the new maps...

MURFEGGS

@Schoolimangooli: true.

by the way, this might be off topic, but since it's coming out on PSN thursday (i might not be playin since MGO is coming out...hopefully), has anyone seen the infamous PSN cards anywhere. i checked my local Gamestop (i know i know, i don't going to them either) and they didn't have them.

jun581

I should probably download this. I mean, it is free. Just can't seem to find the time to play COD4 MP. I can't compete with the skill level in the game.

Black_Ops_19

Hear, hear!

phoenixavatar2

The sheer chaos of Killhouse makes it my favorite FPS map ever.

InfernoT

Sweet. But I wish they added Killhouse to more playlists. I've only played it once!

CHU BOI

These new maps are probably some of the most solid ones in the multiplayer call of duty arsenal.

Biscuitcleaver

Good, maybe the numbers will tell these idiots to release the map pack for PC.

Tyber_Zann

@jigglypoofs: I think an actual whorefest would always win, hands down.

chimp_o_death

@Azazel024:

pwned!

MyLittlePwny

I bet they are happy seeing as though they made millions more in a few days while getting away with releasing only 1 1/2 new maps for $10 bucks. They won't be getting my money lol.

PhilESkyline

That's a lot of downloads.

A shame people enjoy skipping the new maps on Live.

Kanik

Ill get excited about new maps when it comes to the people who actually propagated the series, the pc owner.

Azazel024

I bet they are happy seeing as though they made millions more in a few days. They got away with only 1 1/2 new maps. That's why I didn't buy them.

PhilESkyline

now imagine GTA4 DLC!!!

musicgangATL

The could've have about 300,000+ if they released it simultaneously with the PS3.

But they lost my buck looking towards the future. GTA4 MAN!!!!

Schoolimangooli

good for them, innovation pays off, I don't like COD4, it's to arcadey and a big frag fest, I prefer games with more strategy. But COD4 done something new and with pride on next gen consoles so they deserve the crown way more than bungie's whorefest.

jigglypoofs

Thats for Xbox Live... I wonder how much the PS3 stats are gonna look like... and It's gonna be a while before a play them...

VitFer2007

Does this go for computers also?

BrotherNick

Wow, and I played about 25 different new maps yesterday all day on COD4 PC. Hurray for free maps and mods!

Kyle81

@MURFEGGS: Ya, for the first weekend after the map pack's release there was a mode to play only the new maps. I had more fun with that than I ever have had with COD4.

Though, they pulled those modes and you need to wait for them in rotation. Takes forever for them to appear and when they do, I find that people (usually clans) will skip a map because they don't know it well enough.

Kanik

I can se this on my buddy list, as most of my list consists of HALO and CoD4 gamers....For the 37+ gamers on my list that play COD4 only 2 didn't get the maps yet. But the wiered thing on the other side is that the other 40 or so HALO gamers only about half bought the newest maps and the other bunch would rather wait for the maps to go free...? what does that say about the Halo3 gamers or to stay on topic what does it say about the CoD4 gamers on my list.

JorgieX

@AEREC: Halo 3 sure does have a lot more going for it on the multiplayer side. I hope IW get on the ball for the next edition of Modern Warfare and add replay features and more stat recordings. The vehicles & forge are best made only for Halo.

Rebel Without Applause

@Rebel Without Applause:

My beef is not with the map but the price aka value.

As in something new not something converted. Creek and Killhouse are brand new (never seen) the other two are just converted from the current and pervious ver. How does that justify a $10 dollar price tag?

PhilESkyline

@jigglypoofs:

Honestly "Bungie's Whorefest" does alot more than Console Counter strike (CoD4), such as:

-replays
-vehicles
-forge
-screenshots
-character custimization
-better ranking/skill system
-better physics
-tons more gametypes
-just a shitlaod more variety
-way more stats than anyone ever needed
-more stuff I am probably forgetting

I do enjoy CoD4 but it is basically your standard online shooter that does nothing new (aside from the airstrikes, helicopters, etc... which are really cool), it just perfects what has always been around.

You can tell alot more effort went into Halo 3's online portion.

AEREC

@PhilESkyline: They are well worth the money. On Saturday night I paid £50 (~$100) for a boozy night out before the Calzaghe fight. That's 6 hours of fun and a headache the next day.

COD4 maps last longer and don't make you ill - money well spent =)

IronsUK

@PhilESkyline: Oh please, that is so dumb to assume. These are Multiplayer maps, you couldn't play those areas with friends before the pack. To just write them off as nothing new is the dumbest thing to think.

If they gave us a relit Pipline or Ambush, then yeah, you can complain, but right now you are just bitching about nothing.

Rebel Without Applause

Awesome. Does this mean we PC gamers get our dlc soon?

eskimo-bob

@phantam:

A map from single player (Broadcast), a redone map from the old ver (Chinatown), A new map (Creek), and a half of a map (Killhouse). Throw some wood boards and arrows around...yea that's worth $10 bucks lol.

1 1/2 = Creek(1) and Killhouse(1/2) Broadcast and Chinatown were converted over if you ask me.

PhilESkyline

@Kyle81: That's pretty cool, but then again you probably paid a lot more for your hardware so the PC route is not the most cost effective way to play COD4.

IronsUK

Skipping past the comments from bitter PC gamers & straight up complainers about the maps being a rip off....

The maps are great and well worth the $10. I'm glad a lot of people are downloading it, the more that have it the more people my friends and I can beat people on them.

Even the small map Killhouse is good, but the other 3 maps are great! The game launched with 16 maps, I would say only 2 of them weren't that great. Now the game has a total of 20, still more than many other FPS games.

Rebel Without Applause

@Dresarius:

Still replays on the PC require a third party program and you cant pause the game and rotate the camera, get another players point of view, etc...

AEREC

@PhilESkyline: How does part of a brand new single player campaign not be considered new? It was never played with 16 players running around doing objectives? It can't be that hard to understand that it is new. And Chinatown, although having the same layout as Carentan, looks brand new. It is now at night with a lot of street lighting and modern cars. Yeah, I played and loved COD2's Carentan, doesn't mean they should of left it out for you to justify your precious $10.

COD4 is touching a whole brand new audience, there are tons more gamers on the 360 now, I had COD2 since launch, but not everybody had the chance to play Carentan, which is the best map to play on. So because you feel you didn't get anything new, there are thousands upon thousands that don't know their way around the map.

Rebel Without Applause

@AEREC: Uhm. Halo *has* physics? Sort of. I Guess.

Also, You're forgetting that COD4 has a PC counterpart. Screenshots are nothing new, sorry to say. Forge is nifty, and easy to use, but you can't really you know, make a map with it.

Aside from that I agree that Halo's Multiplayer is more friendly than COD4's, if only because you can kick players who team kill you, unlike in COD4 where you'll play several rounds of hardcore and have to deal with assholes who repeatedly fire the rocket launcher into the ground at spawn points.

Dresarius

@Project Thanatos:

Yup...dont mistake better for more realistic. But so many things in Halo 3 have thier own physics...it's funny to see people get killed by random objects.

AEREC

That's no surprise. My favorite out of the bunch is Broadcast...totally kick ass! When I get my own system this is going to be the first game I buy, even before GTAIV. It's that good.

turbofreak

COD 4 is awesome...Probably the best online mpgame I've ever played (haha to you Halo fags)....I just wish they added vehicles..Maybe COD 5? oooOOOORRRrrahhhh!!!

thegr33n1

@AEREC: Wait.. did you just say Halo has better physics?

Project Thanatos

@VitFer2007: LOL, take the numbers and divide it by 3 and it should come out about correct :)

okenny :)

@Rebel Without Applause:

But does that mean you put a price tag of $10 bucks?

They really only made two maps from the ground up (new) redone is not new but edited lol, that's all I'm talking about.

Honestly I love COD4 it's a great game but how they priced the $10 price tag for their "loyal" customers but give the new customers the same game with new maps included for no additional charge is wrong.

DLC should have been free if not cheaper for those with the game. They made a quick couple of million for something that probably took them a few weeks lol.

It's not called business for nothing.

PhilESkyline

I like CoD 4, honestly, but good lord it's overrated :) It was awesome for a while but it lacks any depth in it's core gameplay :(

DUFFKING

@Rebel Without Applause:

Companies only do what customers allow.

Nosignalinput proved my point with Killhouse "It's just based on the singleplayer tutorial and re-uses a lot of the scenery."

Creek was the only real map that they created. The other three are edited and or converted. It's easy to make edits. Copy and paste code here and there. Not hard to do my friend.

If enough people would have thought out what they were paying for instead of being blinded by the greatness of the game, which it is, IW would have changed the price or delayed the release and added more new maps.

You control the market not the businesses.

PhilESkyline

Even though I bought the maps the first weekend they came-out and only played the "new map rotation" lobbies that were setup, I still haven't played kill house. Apparently, I don't play the game-type that allows you to play that map.

But anyway, yes, the map pack is awesome. I love creek, it is by far the best map they have released for the game yet. It's so incredibly detailed.

I hope they release more maps, more weapons and some more perks. I'd be happy to pay for it.

DugDawg

Still waiting for the PS3...

Hylian

@PhilESkyline: Of course DLC would be awesome if it were free, but come on now, its the new way and there is nothing we can do to change it.

I feel like the Halo map packs were more of a "rip-off" but at least one of them became free, so it'll be like getting 6 maps for $10.

I don't see COD4 maps becoming free, but it doesn't matter to me or my friends now, we all bought it the first moment we could.

There is nothing wrong with the new maps, you can't have that warped way of thinking when it comes to online multiplayer maps.

What if IW gave everyone the Christmas Crash map for free, would that of made it all better?

Rebel Without Applause

@PhilESkyline: How is killhouse done from the 'ground-up'? It's just based on the singleplayer tutorial and re-uses a lot of the scenery.

Nosignalinput

@phantam: I prefer Creek on domination. TDM is far less focused on certain hotpoints and Creek seems to be designed more with domination in mind.

Although the sniping areas work in either case.

Nosignalinput

Who knows, one day maybe even pc users will be able to add to activision's download counter.

ZhouYu

@PhilESkyline: You are reminding me of one of my XBL friends who was annoyed that the COD2 maps had pieces of the campaign within them.

I told him he was being stupid and just play the damn game.

I can see your opinion on the map pack, but over a million other normal gamers don't care about it apparently.

Creek is a great new map, but did you notice that one (maybe 2) of the buildings in it are from the map Downpour? I gather you didn't notice that, but now that you know, should we just delete the content off our HDD because IW are a bunch of dumbass developers?

I recall playing the campaign through the TV station and thought: "WOW, this would be great for playing multiplayer!" And apparently I wasn't alone in my head, because the community spoke up about it.

Carentan was a great COD2 map, when I heard that Chinatown was a remake, I did a backflip out of excitement.

Killhouse, they say it is a mock up of the campaign part, but I don't see the similiarity. At least the map is bigger than Shipment, which is easily the only map that is complete garbage in the whole game.

Rebel Without Applause

@Rebel Without Applause:

i see what you are saying, and i agree with everything EXCEPT what you said about shipment.

a good game of headquarters on that map is ridiculous fun, as is a nice 18 player FFA with snipers!

i've also had some good 3v3 games of search and destroy on it.

illocon

@illocon: You gotta be shitting me, you enjoy shipment?! Shipment and a 6v6 HQ match?! You are fucking loony man.

Shipment is the ONLY map I will veto/skip no matter what.

The few times I got stuck in a shipment 6v6 match (or even 3v3 HQ) I ask my friends if this is IW's idea of a sick & twisted joke. Really, it is just dumb and pointless.

3v3 Sabatoge is alright because I can get it done within 30 seconds. S&D is pretty pointless as well, I can end the whole series in under 2 minutes.

The time I enjoy Shipment is a custom 1v1 deathmatch, just so no one really hides.

Rebel Without Applause

Heh... times have changed 'eh.

I remember when map packs were free.

Remember the free map packs we got on the computer for CoD1 and CoD2?

*sigh* Stupid consoles screwing everything up...

LONG LIVE PC GAMING
DEATH TO THE 360 AND PS3 (Wii is to much fun at parties to go away)

nytestalker

I agree, the new maps are really not worth the 10 bucks. You are basically getting 1 map for ten with edits for existing maps on the disc already. Fine if it was free but when you have to pay extra on top of it....

If they make a gold edition , will the new maps be free then on the disc? I don't think that's fair. Is that the price you pay for being impatient?

The only game I went crazy with the DLC purchasing was Lost planet. All new maps from the ground up and it's a blast playing.

I hope IW decides to do a Bungie and let these maps go for free sometime later.

Netnavi

@thegr33n1: "Ha ha to you Halo fags"... on Ban Monday...

duckmouth

PS3 maps should have released same day, cutting it a bit fine with GTA but I'll still pick them up.

Rockwallaby

I can't justify the price, which is strange, because I've spent over $50 on Rock Band DLC. A map just doesn't have the same drawing power for me. I'm hoping they go free in a few months. I'll see them then.

vanderblade

I still cant fathom who pays for MAPS god damn it.

I played chinatown though and I almost feel like pitching out the 10 bucks for the points but the ends dont justify the means, I can just boot up the PC version and Im sure I can find an original carentan map to download, for free.
