Call of Duty 4 X360 Map Pack Expected This Week
"As of right now we're pushing certification for an on-time release for April 3rd or 4th," community manager Robert Bowling wrote on his fourzerotwo blog. "It looks like [the maps] should be available late Thursday night / early Friday morning."
Earlier this week, a representative for publisher and studio owner Activision told Shacknews and other outlets that the map pack had been delayed until April 10.
Priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10), the downloadable content packs four multiplayer maps: Creek, Broadcast, Killhouse, and Chinatown (a remake of the classic CoD map Carentan). For a more intimate look, scope out the recent batch of gameplay videos.
The PlayStation 3 release of the map pack will carry the same $10 price point when it arrives in roughly three weeks, with the PC edition possibly following after that.

yah i'm not too happy about them asking for $10 for some extra maps. valve releases new maps for free all the time. I mean seriously, how can you charge $10 for maps. that makes this a $70 game that happens to "come with" 4 extra maps now. awesome....

or, it makes it a 60 dollar game with an option of expanding your multiplayer map selection with the spending of another separate 10 dollars.
do i wish the maps were free? yes of course. do i have a problem paying for additional maps? no because i understand the development time that goes into building and painting these maps.
does anyone know if the GOTY edition will have the maps included? one of my buddies heard on a commercial it said to buy it and get the 4 new maps with it. i _would_ be ticked if someone who bought the game now didnt have to pay the same amount as i did. considering i bought it on release day and along with the what 8 million others that have bought this game and made it so they could promote a GOTY edition it would be pretty much bullshit.
