Hey Everyone –
The PS3 Feature Patch for European / Oceania players has hit today. Thank you to SCEE for all their work getting that out as fast as they can. I saw a lot of unjustified flaming on the boards of this last night since the US patch hit. I want to make it clear that SCEE did everything by the book and was able to get the patch out to the EU players as quickly as was feasibly possible so let’s cut them some slack. Regretfully we’re all on different timezones, so when the patch came up for release the US was still in the working hours and was able to get it out immediately while in UK time it was much later in day and not feasible for them to release immediately in line with the US timezone. Hopefully everyone understands that as I hate to see someone take slack for something that was out of their control, credit is due for them working so hard to get this out to you guys as quickly, I think an overnight turnaround from the US patch is comendable with the time zones.
That said, the patch is out for US / EU / Oceania users so you can enjoy the new kill cams, recently met players, mute options and more.

First? Cool, good to hear that we (EU) aren’t getting screwed again. Thanks.
raven00 // March 18, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Thank you very much for your hard work. I’m quite content with things so far. I can’t say the same for others. I look forward to the DLC. Btw, has the exploit been patched as well?
killerbobcat // March 18, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Sweet. I’ve been waiting for this for a while. I hope it fixes my Downloading Game Settings problem. I’ll post later to let you know. Thanks for all of the hard work.
skim1420 // March 18, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Does the feature patch address the game save file hacks? This is critical!
GrammaToad // March 18, 2008 at 7:24 pm
so sony released the patch to IW? and IW is waiting on the EU patch before it all goes live?
when you say release i get it confused with the release as in its available to download right now.
Pforce // March 18, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Oh my god, thank you! Not seeing EU patch yet. Time is here 21:25, lets hope will get it by midnight when the true games begin

ive noticed a big sniper hit detection improvement…i now love using the .50 cal haha!

i am getting doubtful that it’ll be here today 402, it’s 19:31, are you telling me they’re still working? i doubt it..
BlueSpeed9 // March 18, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Amazing work.
Still, I can’t believe they released out of sync and without notice — seems a bit unprofessional to me (Sony, not you guys).

Will there be new maps or not on the patch?
jas // March 18, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Hi…thanks so much. The patch finally came out.
Is there any word when or if Dualshock 3 support will be added to the ps3 version of COD4?
killerbobcat // March 18, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Well I downloaded the new patch, but still no online cod4 for me. I have a NAT1 connection in the US and it just says Downloading Game Settings… forever. I’m glad you guys got the new kill cams and such, but I guess I’ll never see them. I’ve never even seen anyone from IW mention the problem of DGS and a lot of people on their forums are having this issue. I’m actully pretty irritated, I went out and bought the console and the game just to play COD4; I didn’t even buy any other games. Now I’m just SOL and nobody seems to care. Oh and guess what, my split screen mode still freezes 1/4 of the way through loading and I have to reset the console to start over. Thanks, IW, I now have no multiplayer at all.
GrammaToad // March 18, 2008 at 7:39 pm
ok so i see its out. so tell me guys, hows the ACOG scope?
GrammaToad // March 18, 2008 at 7:41 pm
killerbobcat, my split screen used to do that and it got better over time. same with my DGS errors. i fixed it by going to the leaderboards for like 15 minutes and it worked (mine happened when i went to being up the game list, where you select your game mode)
PSN-marcinski // March 18, 2008 at 7:44 pm
GrammaToad, I was pissed because I prestiged and lost my 50 cal acog scope but none anyways i finished the challenge for the m40 and started to use the scope and its a huge improvement then before
killerbobcat // March 18, 2008 at 7:45 pm
How would split screen improve over time? It won’t load. I have to reset from the console. My DGS happens as soon as I click Play Online and never goes away.

just so everyone knows….the patch for the 360 made gameplay worse as a whole, granted i still play the game, but just to warn, it makes more things worse than it actually fixes….

Killer u should check out on how to change ur NAT type 1(its supposed to say 2 or 3 for it to work)check the playstation.com forums in the cod section on how to fix it. I’ve never had this problem but i’ve seen threads on how to fix it so give it a try and best of luck to u

402, just set me straight if they (SCEE) have gone home and we have to wait again (EU)
Still not impressed // March 18, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Downloaded it, and couldn’t stand to play long enough to see the new kill cams and everything else. Just over this game.
Had a host ended game 2 minutes into the very first game. Still don’t get to choose which maps I play on, that gets old. I mean, who would’ve thought that being placed in the same room on a map that you don’t want to play 6 or 7 times might not be the way to go.
Sorry, just not enough to make me start playing again.

the spawn points are horrible. i’ve never once been spawned facing the correct way. your either staring straight up, straight down, straight in the corner, straight in the face of the person who just killed you, right on top of your own martyrdom, in the middle of an airstrike, or your reloading your weapon.
the host migration is a joke, your playing, and all of a sudden “host ended game” and throws you back in the lobby. very rarely do you ever get put into a lobby BEFORE a match starts, 95% of the time you get put in a match that will only last 30 more seconds. and almost always your on the losing team.
ACOG scopes haven’t been improved very much at all.
Snipers are now RIDICULOUSLY too accurate. anywhere within 4 feet of someones head will register a headshot

This happens to me maybe 10% of the time…

This happens about… 50% of the time for me. But only if I’m playing solo and not in a large party. Solution… make friends on XBL and have a party of 6.
“ACOG scopes haven’t been improved very much at all.”
My opinion is they have been drastically improved.
“Snipers are now RIDICULOUSLY too accurate. anywhere within 4 feet of someones head will register a headshot”
I disagree. I think they’re just more accurate.

There was never supposed to be in-game migration. If you read what Robert said a few blogs ago, he told the world that it would go back to the lobby and pick the next best host.
English // March 18, 2008 at 10:18 pm
well maybe 402 can comfirm, but surley untill EU gets the patch, the Host Migration will not function correctly. If you are in a game wuth a non patched host it wouldn’t work as expected?

Datapoohbah // March 19, 2008 at 7:05 am
OK, after an evening playing with the new patch here are my takes.
- The Mute in game is awesome… why can’t we mute in the lobby?
- Host migration my ass… Plenty of Hosts leaving game tonight ending games. I understood the games would end but the lobby would remain in tact so that we could restart rather quickly. That seemed non-existent on the PS3. Maybe it is?
Didn’t get to try the ACOG fixes, don’t have any yet, just rolled over to a new prestige level.
It seems Juggernaut was toned down a hair? Maybe? Still weapon effectiveness seems to change from game to game. In a couple games tonight I couldn’t kill anyone, and not because I suck. I unloaded almost a 1/2 of an RDP clip into a guy laying on the ground and he didn’t die. Got the hit sound confirmation too, so that was wacked. I’ve experienced this before the patch just not as often (2x tonight).
Honestly overall it felt laggier and more problematic network wise but I’ll give it more time before I declare that to be true but it sure felt that way. Same number of ‘connection errors’ per play session. I have a pretty good cable connection overall so this bums me out quite a bit.
Overall I still love this game and find it to be the best multi player experience. I don’t expect it to be bug free. But I had hoped you’d address some of the glitches which doesn’t seem to be the case either.
Keep going IW… If the press is accurate, you’re making a killing. Don’t let this get ruined like ‘Tribes’….
Sicknsore // March 19, 2008 at 7:37 am
Nice Patch ! *sarcasm*.. it makes me timed out more often when on multiplayer, got no problems at all before..
SKIZM_ONE // March 19, 2008 at 8:02 am
Just a heads up,
I am an ausstralian player.
I had a few games this afternoon, and the patch wasn’t out here yet. But can I say, they were the best games I have had EVER. I was getting Aussie or New Zealand servers everytime. I had full green bars every match, never before had I had such success. It was great playing the game how it should be played.
I believe this is because the US people can’t connect to us, because they have the patch? Is that right? So once we get the patch will it be back to normal. Please say no!!!

xLegioNx // March 19, 2008 at 9:35 am
Calm down, host migration aims to put you back in the lobby you were in when the game ended. Yes, i know it’s useless but thats what it is, it isn’t what every single person in the world thought it was.
matt // March 19, 2008 at 11:46 am
Hi,
I play COD4 online for the PS3. I am awaiting the formal release of the patch.
However, judging by the comments that have been posted on, not only you own website, but other forums, as well, the ‘host migration’ isn’t really host migration.
Do you think that this issue, which has been noticeable from the launch of COD4, will ever be resolved satisfactorily?
It is the single most item and it completely ruins the experience online.
I am sure that you understand the full nature of the problem and the solution that everyone requires.
So, my question to you is why isn’t the host migration during the game, as opposed to IW’s lightweight solution of restarting the game with the same party/lobby?
It seems a massive cop out as other games have addressed this issue many times over.
Thanks,
TomGunt // March 19, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Fuckings to Sony EU. Can’t express it any more clearly.
I Sharted and got the patch... // March 19, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Wow, I am completely unimpressed, what did we get? New killcams, who cares, 99% of us hit square and never watch them anyway, why bother with the trival stuff? everyone thought your host migration worked, so every flippin game was ended early to see if it worked, (which it doesn’t) Sniper rifles still suck, hit detection still blows, spawn points are worse than before, and since the “patch” is out everyone and their fat mama is playing, so it was lagging like a grandma in her walker. Don’t get me wrong, COD4 is the best game out on PS3..the single player mode is awesome, and online is cool, it just seems that nothing was really fixed from my end. On the plus side, I bet the # of players will be close to all time highs this week, and weekend. BTW where is the mute function, extra magazine rounds, unlimited sprint, fixed “unable to join party” error? I heard it was minor balancing tweaks, but, can I uninstall the patch, I honestly liked it better before. OK well I guess we will never be happy, no matter what is done, and douches will always whine, and we can still look forward to the new maps that look unbelievably sick….

ak416 // March 19, 2008 at 5:08 pm
We got everything that was promised. Host Migration, Mute Option, New Kill Cams, Better Accuracy with ACOG and Sniper Scopes.
Host Migration was NEVER intended to be in game, meaning no one ever said your game will never end. They said that your game will still end, and everyone will be dropped back in the lobby where they will select a new host, and a new game will resume. Its really only to help those who play with parties, as when games end you would have to reinvite everyone in your party etc and do it all over again.
The mute option is there, too. You can NOT mute players in the lobby but you can in game. Press select to bring up the scoreboard and hit X on any given name to mute them.
If you guys are having problems connecting to the game, check YOUR connection. Because obviously it does work, thousands of people play the game every day. Fix your settings, check your router connections, make sure all your ports are forwarded properly. Your obviously on the computer, GOOGLE is your friend and will tell you exactly what kind of settings you need to have for a P2p game like COD4.
Two friends of mine had the same problem, they would get stuck at DGS or Setting Up Game or something. They didnt have there modems/routers configured properly and after some very very easy tweaking, i got both of their games working just fine, no problems at all except the occasional lag, which happens because its the internet, nothing to stop lag.
You want the game to work? FIGURE OUT what it needs to work properly and quit being lazy. No one is going to do it for you, and obviously IW cant/isnt going to do anything about it, so figure it out for yourself. I did and now i can play the game perfectly fine.

Coming up to the end of the working day here in the UK. Not sure where the SCEE uploading is happening but the rest of europe is an hour or more ahead of us too, and still no patch.
SCEE seem to be so slow at doing anything in comparison to SCEA. I often wonder if more than a handful of people actually work there.
Axvidagia // March 19, 2008 at 5:30 pm
For the whiners. “Downloading Game Settings” error is a problem with your routers which are not 100% compatible and keep on downloading incomplete packets. Stop complaining and do something about it, go into your router settings change ports, dedicated ips, enable gaming mode , after a while wou’ll get used to the procedures to connect…
but if you do not want to bother then switch your router to a more common brand like N–Gear or Linksy…

holy cheesdick noobman i spawned with my gun aimed to the sky while spinning in circles, and when i looked down, OMG i was stabbed by an enemy!! after the match the guy was talking saying He douche (me) i was watching your ballerina stunt, and couldn’t kill you until you looked down, i’m gonna report you for hacking. i told him i spawned that way and to ease up out my face unless he wanted nut in his eye

– Couldnt put it any better myself. The patch is working as it was supposed to. Just because you have a shitty connection (Curse thee Verizon!!) or cannot put the little red dot on someones head correctly doesnt mean the patch is a flop. I will agree that not many people watch the killcams (I dont) but they are good for when you get owned by some dude camping on a roof that you didnt see.
Most I can say, stop bitching and play the damn game.

while playing Crossfire in HQ mode last night after the patch (related?) everytime an airstrike is called my screen freezes. The first time it happened, i waited 10 minutes…nothing, no controller functions at all, had to power down the Ps3. didn’t happen until i got into Crossfire again, then same frickin thing, airstrike gets called, screen froze, waited, no controller function, had to power down again. Is this a known issue, or just a freak occurance? It’s not my connection, I have no connection issues, controller fully charged, never happened before until last night.
I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK
PSN-marcinski // March 19, 2008 at 7:45 pm
LOL I knew I was gonna see a shitload of complaints after playing cod4 after the patch. Yea I couldn’t give a rats ass about killcams I honestly never watch them it’s fucking pointless. The part that made me happy though is the sniper accuracy being improved.
matt // March 19, 2008 at 8:12 pm
They might not have said the were goign to do host migration, but if every other game can do it why cant they?
GrammaToad // March 19, 2008 at 8:29 pm
we need kill cams in HC modes. its lame that they arent. i like the HC modes and they would be way cooler if you could add kill cams to them
Meet-Your-Death // March 19, 2008 at 8:51 pm
No! No KILLCAMS in hardcore mode. We play hardcore mode for reasons like no kill cam! It’s stupid to give away your location after you kill somebody! STUPID!

Agreed..
One thing tho.. when is the “party system” gonna get fixed?.. it seems like even more often than before I keep getting those “unable to connect to host error” when accepting invites..
And for the ones sucking up.. HOST MIGRATION IS NOT WORKING AT ALL!..
Not even in the fucked up way that it was supposed to work..
damien // March 19, 2008 at 11:19 pm
i know this may seem a little shrewd, since we (xbox 360) just got the patch recently, and the (incredible!) variety map pack is on the horizon, but, is there weapon DLC planned? i know about half a million peaople begging for new guns. let us know if you can, 402.
thanks for everything,
damien
Knation // March 19, 2008 at 11:26 pm
First off… Great job on the patch! The mute option alone was worth it for me- don’t have to listen to pre- puberty screachers anymore… Thank you for fixing Acog and scope accuracy, that was really a problem; but not anymore.This game has been AWESOME the whole way, and now its even better. Do you have a more difinitive date on the map pack??? Spring is pretty vague. Not trying to be pushy.
badfish // March 19, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Why is it when everyone has a good complaint you never answer? People are seriously upset with the lack of any response to the host migration issue, can you please address this?
JayNica914 // March 19, 2008 at 11:32 pm
@ Knation:
The New Map Pack Has Been Dated For Release On Thursday April 3rd For Xbox 360 users and will cost 800 Microsoft points. Not sure about the date or price for the PS3 map pack though, hope that helps.
Here is the source for the date of the map pack:

Spawn locations are terrible;
ACOG much better;
Snipers need more damage, otherwise fine;
Killcams seem glitchy;
Dead body physics are screwed up;
Host Migration?;
….
….
IW FAILS!

So it seems the general consensus is that the patch made things worse overall… GREAT. I think I’ll just keep the game where I’ve kept it for the past 2 weeks - in a drawer away from my PS3.
Sicknsore // March 20, 2008 at 4:20 am
I said before that the patch made my connection timed out more often which i never had before, so then i deleted the patch and reinstalled it.. it works nicely so far, no connection interrupted anymore and gotta love the new kill cam.. also the match making system is slightly better, i used to go in and out rooms a lot to get a good connection now i got into good room even on the first try finding games..
erod188 // March 20, 2008 at 4:33 am
dude could you be honest and just tell people if we are getting rumble for the ps3? you dont need a date or anything just tells us if we are ever gonna have it man because we invested in it, invested in your game and yet 360 gets the better end of everything
Anthony_ // March 20, 2008 at 5:07 am
^^^ Host migration for Australians on XBox is still an issue. Do our PS3 Counterparts have similar problems?
erod188 // March 20, 2008 at 5:52 am
Come on guys who ever wants rumble for their DualShock 3 say it here if not there wont be any chance
TY520 // March 20, 2008 at 5:55 am
Can anyone tell me how to do the mute option? cause am clueless on how to doin it on the PS3

El Hadji // March 20, 2008 at 8:42 am
@GrammaToad: Killcams in HC? That would ruin the whole idea behind HC mode. I say remove perk slots 2 and 3 from HC and make it even more realistic.
TookTook // March 20, 2008 at 9:50 am
I think the game get a success it didn’t plan firstly…
Thats a good move for you, dev’.
Albeit this, releasing a 800 point map pack is absolutely greedy…
Is that your way to say “thanks” to your customers ?
That’s so an expensive price and a cheap attitude.
Ricky // March 20, 2008 at 10:22 am
we can wait but please assure us that PC will be getting the new maps.

When did this happen // March 20, 2008 at 2:24 pm
last night i was playing and my controller was vibrating around in my hand whenever i got shot, i thought there was no rumble, man I hate rumble, how do i get rid of this beta rumble patch?
petmik // March 20, 2008 at 2:27 pm
i know xbox.com says 3rd of april i just hope ps3 & EU users get it at the same so we can avoid all this sh*t again.

All around the patch is an improvement!
If you could get the host migration working, I would imagine that it would take quite a bit of workload off the servers.
Hope your not done with making it better!
Thanks for your work!

Im Glade 402 Responded to all of you so fast! Really 402 you sure dont have enough time to read what the shit the people write on here. Im sure when Splinter cell Conviction comes out they will.

The newest official statement by IW given to gamespot.com is
Quote:
“It’s not yet known if one platform will get the DLC before the other, but we did learn that there are currently no plans to bring the content to the PC.”
Please sign this petition. Not only is this good for cod4 in general, it would be good for competition as well.
Happy Posting.

What this all about
Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack Exclusive to Xbox 360 for 21 Days
an update to Loot Ninja’s CoD4 Map Pack news, their Editor in Chief heard from Activision that the Variety Map Pack will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 for the first 21 days of its release before being available for the PS3.
Nice to screw the ps3 users. AGAIN Iw a joke

I bet fourzerotwo wont reply
Sandy // March 20, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Seriously, why would you do this? If it is indeed exclusive for 21 days do you know how many people you will alienate? The 360 might be the biggest console out there RIGHT NOW, but it won’t be for long…… good plan to piss off and alienate the people who buy your games! Seriously.. what the fuck.
Jake S // March 20, 2008 at 7:39 pm
I see that IW is Microsofts bitches
Jake S // March 20, 2008 at 7:53 pm
I wonder what all the people that defended fourzerotwo will say now. I wont buy another call of duty game, instead il go with a exculsive fps from sony. Thanks for screwing us IW
Sandy // March 20, 2008 at 8:04 pm
This is what happens. I love COD4, why do we think it sells so well? Is an amazing game and online experience.
But seriously, this is getting to be too much. We understand that the patch that just came out was Sony’s fault, it was too late because of them. Better late than never right? Well sure, we are now a bit angry at Sony.
But to ACTUALLY PURPOSEFULLY DECIDE to release the maps 3 weeks later on the PS3 is total bullshit.
All over the internet (teh intranetZ!) people are getting ANGRY. Instead of making 2 groups of people happy (Ps3 and 360 owners) you are making 1 group as happy as they would be regardless, and totally pissing all over the other group. For what reason? I’d really like to know.
Sake // March 20, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Its not sony fault i bet IW lied to us when they told us they give the patch to them for certification on the 14 . I bet you they give them the patch week later. Iw a joke and dont they know that xbox only outselling the ps3 in north america. Soon ps3 will take their spot back.
Sandy // March 20, 2008 at 8:14 pm
No, I want to keep this mostly civil and not retarded. Sony took a long time to get the Patch released and approved.
But what the hell? WHAT EXACTLY is the explanation for this?
Everyone in their right mind knows the PS3 is going to eventually outsell the 360, NO ONE with any sense is asking for the patch to be released earlier on the PS3 for this, so why does the 360 get it? I don’t understand.
This has already pissed off so many people.
INFINITY WARD: Why? This also comes out right before GTA:IV you really think people are going to chose one over the other? I wonder what people are going to be playing in May more than anything else?
Get these damn maps out for the PS3 along side the 360 ones. This is total bullshit.
GrammaToad // March 20, 2008 at 8:16 pm
yeah the host migration for the ps3 patch isnt even there. i have had a host end the game about 5 times i get back into my loby. check your codes and see if its there because if it is its not working right
GrammaToad // March 20, 2008 at 8:19 pm
and i have been civil up till i found out the maps are going to late for us. thats lame. your loosing fans and players fast. you might want to get your crap straight.
Sandy // March 20, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I agree though.
ALL This does is make PS3 owners angry and alienated. Really.
So whats the point? The 360 owners would get it on the early April Date anyway. So they are happy, And then the PS3 owners would get it then too, they would be happy.
But no, 1 group gets it first and then the other ones gets totally shafted for no reason. Don’t these people understand how consumers work!? This is a total piss off.
GrammaToad // March 20, 2008 at 8:27 pm
so release the maps the same time, or i switch to HAZE and GTA:IV, and when june rolls around ill be strictly MGS.
and if you release them 21 days later like said, dont over charge us seriously. why would we want to pay top dollar for something people have already gotten to enjoy?
if they are in the 8-10 dollar range for 4, at least change the price to 5 dollars for 4
GrammaToad // March 20, 2008 at 8:30 pm
i have an idea, next time you release a patch, why dont YOU go and test it before so YOU can make sure nothing is messed up. caugh HOST MIGRATION caugh.
[DC] x_Diesel_x // March 20, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Man I just hope SOCOM steals all the good shit ideas CoD4 had.. and then improves upon them, cause really if this is the way IW does business they wont get another penny from me..
Dan35 // March 20, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Well 10 bucks I could understand paying for the maps. But maybe not if we cant get them three weeks after the other system. Seriously this is some BS if this is true. I love playing COD 4 and I play it more than any other PS3 game I have. But once GTA IV hits and if we dont have the maps I may take a serious look at tellimg Activision where they can stick there maps.

Hey fourzerotwo,
The patch is awesome! The new kill cams are SICK! The gameplay is still good, and everything is going rather well. Yes, there is problems, but what can you expect when some people have bad connections, it happens guys! Great game love it.
I hope the PS3 maps come out same time as Xbox360 because the PS3 gamers are just as hardcore as they are! Matter of a fact, if the servers would merge guarantee PS3 would own them 360 noobs
Yeah that’s right you heard me! haha j/k.
Keep up the good work @ IW!
