Heads Up: In light of the map pack taking down Marketplace for a good chunk of time during Friday’s launch of the DLC and hence putting a hold on a lot of gaming time for Friday we’ve decided to extend Double XP until Tuesday morning, allowing you another whole 24 hours to rank up.
Come Tuesday morning Double XP will be gone for good and the new maps will be added to ALL playlists, so get your last bit of XP whoring in and try to reach that level 55 of the prestige you promised you wouldn’t do again before you realized it was double XP!

nick // April 7, 2008 at 7:03 pm
yes im STILL wondering about “new” playlists you said you’d be adding way back when the patch came out haven’t heard a word on the subject since.Can you shed some light on NEW gamemodes that might appear in the near future?
DERF // April 7, 2008 at 7:06 pm
thanks for the update on the ps3
yet again the xbox have it all with the money of pc & ps3 buyer.
it’great laugh at us
Jay // April 7, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Thanks Rob! I need to get from 53-55(56?) tonight! Now I might be able to do it!!! I’m loving the new maps and can’t wait to play Ground War on Creek!!
If you can, please explain how the new maps will be incorporated into all gametypes? What happens if someone doesn’t have the maps? I saw over the weekend that if I invited a friend into a room who didn’t have the maps, it said so at the bottom of the screen….any insight on this? Thanks again!!
Steve // April 7, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Derf they have to take care of their money maker first lol…and PS3 store is still down I think for repairs or something.
Is KIllhouse going into some other gametypes I hope?
DERF // April 7, 2008 at 7:10 pm
i know but it’s really really frustrating
our 60$ is the same as the xbox 60$
SAKY // April 7, 2008 at 7:10 pm
yayz!
Lonewolf Snake // April 7, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Will the Killhouse ever be add into normal map rotation? Since shipment is even smaller than Killhouse, why can Killhouse be in rotation too?
Sparrow // April 7, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Still ignoring the PS3 fanbase I see 402, Good job.

the PS store isnt getting repaired they just arent adding any new updates until the new store is released, which will be the 17th. but we are supposed to get some stuff the 15th. so i dont know if its the 17th its coming or the 15th. but its not being repaired they just took it offline for a bit.

Oh if you think that the update about letting us know this week about the PS3 plans is a update your sadly mistaken . IW needs to come clear this week about the PS3 map pack plans .

Aaquib // April 7, 2008 at 7:49 pm
@petmik
Im sure we’ll get double XP when the maps release on PS3. Besides, do you see any other content posted on the store? No. The Store won’t be updated this week either. Stop blaming Activision, Sony is updating the Store design, so blame them.
CodeRedSniper17 // April 7, 2008 at 7:51 pm
What happens if a player does not have the maps??? Can you please keep the variety map pack playlist!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!
ExtremeOne // April 7, 2008 at 7:53 pm
The PSN store will much better designed than the crappy 360 store once the PSN store returns next Thursday
Ten // April 7, 2008 at 8:02 pm
hahaha! Nobody gives a shit about you PS3 fanboys. Look at you, all whining and crying…
GrammaToad // April 7, 2008 at 8:10 pm
ten, were not wining, we just dont think its fair. and you know you would do the same thing if IW did this to you and gave us the patch, the maps, and the GOTY edition before you guys. you would be pissed
GrammaToad // April 7, 2008 at 8:10 pm
and the new store looks amazing, if you havent looked at it you should because its totaly different (besides the color scheme, its still different shades of blue)
GrammaToad // April 7, 2008 at 8:13 pm
well here it is, i thought i saw a different one but this will do, here
BlindFutur3 // April 7, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Thank God the maps will soon be in the playlist’s! Im getting bored of getting a loss because i don’t want to play Harcore TDM!
Mike H0nch0 // April 7, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Cool iwas wondering how much longer it would last. Thought by the time I got home after work it would be stopped, great maybe ill make it to 8th prestige. Any information on post Double XP weekend and how, and if the playlist will change. New game types? Longer battles(higher score cap)? How will lobbies change when Variety maps are introduced? (auto kicked?, lobby blocks for non Variety map holders?) All these questions have been asked but dodged over and over. Please respond.
Vaeric // April 7, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Awww, c’mon! Can’t you extend it until Tuesday at midnight? Tuesdays and Thursdays are my only nights I get to play so I’m missing out on the double XP.
/Still excited to finally get to play the new maps Tuesday night
Books83 // April 7, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I know I said I wasn’t going to prestige again but the Double XP was just to tempting not to take advantage of.

you should enjoy your little 3 week deal and be happy

good to see the PS3 and PC are your focus still… ya, that lasted a whole day. Grow a sac and answer the questions that are being addressed to you and infinity ward on the PS3 forums; you can’t hide from them forever. When you announce the new maps for the PS3, people will still be there waiting to ask the same questions you are ignoring.

ADRIZZ // April 7, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Do you have any plans to fix a major problem???? I’m getting tired of my team destroying another team in team deathmatch, only to have some little cry baby on the other team who happens to be the host, pull his connection and end the game. When they do that, it counts as a loss for the winning team and counts a win for the losing team. I would say that happens f0r almost 1 out of 5 games. It is absolutely ridiculous!!!!
Collin // April 7, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Adrizz, you are wrong - a losing team cannot get a win by disconnecting.
jas // April 7, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Too bad double XP isn’t extended to Wednesday, 630 a.m. or something. I’m busy trying to complete a deadline, very little time to play….
And for all those Xbox fanboys, don’t hate on something if you don’t own it. Geez, I play the 360 and I don’t go hating on the 360 all the time. I just hope mine doesn’t RROD. *knocks on wood*
Justin // April 7, 2008 at 10:57 pm
If the PS3 weren’t so hard to program on you would see more companies put software out for it at the same time other platforms get them.
thebigb59 // April 7, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Please for the love of god don’t add this to the ps3, the last one was a complete nightmare
Justin // April 7, 2008 at 11:00 pm
@IDon’tGiveACrap
Karma sucks huh lol
ADRIZZ // April 7, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Then explain why it has happened three times in the last half hour. Your saying that everyone gets counted a loss? I don’t think so.
Collin // April 8, 2008 at 2:58 am
Yes, everyone would receive a loss if the winners did.

When are you guys going to put a Mercenary Hardcore Team Deathmatch playlist in?
El Hadji // April 8, 2008 at 1:00 pm
How old are you guys? “My toy car is broken, so in order to get some justice I have have to smash up yours…”
FACT: The 360 content got certified and the logistics around its distribution was solved before the PS3 and PC content. THEREFORE it got distributed first…
FICTION: IW are all in Microsofts pocket and have secret surveillance equipment installed in the homes of PS3 and PC owners just to see them cry when release dates are being pushed back. THEREFORE PS3 and PC content aren’t distribtued first…
FFS stop this senseless whining and come up with some constructive critisism since there are heck of a lot more important things to complain about and that has to do with IW. (Sonys certification process hasn’t…). Im sure all of you will have some days with double, triple or quadrouple XP awarded. Who cares? 360, PS3 and PC gamers aren’t on the same leaderboards anyway and probably never will be…
This “stop-your-whining-ffs” message also goes to those 360 gamers who feel abandoned and wet their pants about this fact when 402 leaves a message on this board for the PS3 and PC users and forgets to mention the 360 for 5 secs. We had the DLC before the rest of the people and we get heck of a lot more feedback and answers than the PS3 and PC crowd! (Eventhough the answers to questions about bug fixes and other important and needed game updates are absent)
We all want a working game, regardless of platform and we all want cheap(free?) DLC. Ask for fixes for stuff that is broken and needs to be fixed. Complain when IW and 402 don’t reply and/or ignore legitimate demands. But, for crying out loud, crying for features that isn’t in the original game concept, flaming 402 and IW for processes out of their control, and fueling the stupid console wars thing, doesn’t make things better - does it? Grow up!
And before calling me a “fanboy” or “402’s bed companion” or something equally original and productive - check the blog entries I have made before this, somewhat aggrevated entry. You’ll see that I am everything but a fanboy. But if we want changes focus on the areas that CAN BE CHANGED!
Over and out… Time for my anger management class…
NOTE: Yes, this post has been posted several times. Intentionally!
Drumbro // April 8, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Have the new maps been incorporated into rest of the playlists yet?

YOU SHOULD HURRY UP ON PUTING THE MAPS IN TEAM TACTICAL
Robert"ThaDouchebagSupreme"Bowling // April 8, 2008 at 8:55 pm
***402, you are IGNORING QUESTIONS BEING ASKED OVER AND OVER.***
1.) Why is the PS3 getting maps late?
2.) Why won’t there be Dualshock 3 support?
3.) Why is “Host Migration” broken on the PS3?
4.) Why is the “Party” system so messed up?
Stop ignoring us. It isn’t hard to see the questions. They’re on this page, they’re on Charlie Oscar Delta, they’re on the IW forums. They aren’t hiding from you.
For a “Director of Communications / Community Manager” your communication skills are lacking.. and you are not relating to your community at all..
El Hadji // April 9, 2008 at 5:54 am
Put on your reading glasses… 402 has answered most of your questions:
Posted: April 5th
Please don’t feel ignored if every platform isn’t mentioned in each post, a lot goes into every release (especially something as big as a map pack release), so typically when I post I’m focused at the subject at hand specifically.
Luckily though it’s getting to that time for the PS3 to be the focus for a while with the launch of the Game of the Year Edition on PS3, the Variety Map Pack hitting PSN, and setting up some launch weekend events for you guys when the maps hit.
As I said we are getting close to having official details on exact release dates and info on the GOTY Edition for PS3 hitting stores worldwide, as well as when you can expect the Map Pack to be up on PSN for download. That’s my main focus for next week.
Posted: April 7, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Host Migration was originally intended to be added to the PS3 as well, however did not make it into the patch due to technical limitations on the PS3 network backend we use with Demonware for matchmaking. It was removed from all patch notes / posts early on but regretfully most sites reposted 360 patch notes as Ps3 patch notes causing even more confusion.
Posted: April 7, 2008 at 11:48 pm
@ 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.
These answers from 402 wasn’t “hiding from you” where they?
Robert "The Uber-Douchebag" Bowling // April 9, 2008 at 9:39 am
Just to make it clear to those narrow minded imbeciles who claim to have seen my questions answered.
Those were NOT answers, those are called “cheap excuses”. Refer to the text below and then try and refute me.

What a load of bullshit!.. RESISTANCE was a PS3 release title, it was out on November 14, 2006 and yet they were able to implement “Rumble” via a patch on November 2007. About the same time CoD4 came out.
Now you mean to tell us that you are not capable of doing the same? Even after you already have the “Rumble” coding for the Box version you have no way of bringing it over to the PS3 version? Shit! that right just lets us know how capable the guys at IW are…
Oh and by the way, Resistance which was released on 2006 was able to have in-game XMB friends list located within the online menu. Did that came out too late for you guys to also implement?
There seems to be a trend here. Whenever there is something that IW can’t pull off cause of their incompetence they act as if it were impossible to accomplish by any means.
Host Migration… IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PS3!
Rumble… IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PS3!
Come on! If you can’t do this shit right just give up on the PS3 and go suck on that Microsoft cock. They already lost Bungie and since IW seems to be so fixated in taking over the place that “Halo” used to occupy maybe they will acquire you guys and you can live happily ever after.
