Variety Pack Maps Now Integrated Into Playlists

April 9, 2008 · 147 Comments

Heads up, that the new DLC maps from the Variety Map Pack are now integrated throughout the other playlists, in addition we’ve removed the Variety Map Pack exclusive playlists and heavily seeded the new maps in exisiting ones. Which means you have a higher chance of playing new maps in exisiting playlists. With that change, also came the end of Double XP.

So what was the average rank you guys ranked up during double XP? Anyone do any entire prestige during it?

    well i went from a 4th prestige lvl 15 to lvl 40

  • Sgt Payback // April 9, 2008 at 7:00 pm

    I would have liked to play more. However, my wife would have me de-balled if I played this game any more than I already do! :)

  • ExtremeOne // April 9, 2008 at 7:01 pm

    Its about time the maps are now fully playable outside the special playlist thank you fourzerotwo .

  • OperatorPerry // April 9, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    I went from -
    Level 51 Prestige 5

    To -
    Level 36 Prestige 7

  • Iceman // April 9, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    i went from 9th prestige lvl 25 to 10th prestige lvl 30

  • silent dave // April 9, 2008 at 7:05 pm

    I was shooting for a full cycle but got cut short. Went from level 42 2nd prestige, to level 31 3rd prestige. If you do double xp for PS3, I’m gonna have to do it all again. One of the problems with owning it for both systems.

  • Sam // April 9, 2008 at 7:07 pm

    Went from a lvl 52 to level 25 of the next prestige.

    What happens though if a player in the room has not bought the variety pack?

  • blair88 // April 9, 2008 at 7:07 pm

    I went from the 7th prestige level 37 to the 8th prestige level 48.

  • keldar11 // April 9, 2008 at 7:09 pm

    hmmm….. lets see how long it takes for a ps3 owner to start complaining on this post.

  • StealthRecon09 // April 9, 2008 at 7:10 pm

    8 presitge level 55 to 10 prestige level 1

  • xLegioNx // April 9, 2008 at 7:10 pm

    Hey was the XP weekend just for the people who baught the maps or the whole community?

  • nhiverson // April 9, 2008 at 7:13 pm

    i got from rank 18 to 50.

  • Arod // April 9, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    I played non-stop for 96 hours and went up four prestiges. Now I think im good, LULZ

  • OS Perry // April 9, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    I have the DLC, but what happens, when someone who hasn’t purchased the DLC, the DLC map comes up in rotation? Are they booted from the server/game? I have friends that play COD4 only periodically and didn’t want to purchase the DLC.

  • TheUBERspectre // April 9, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    I went from Prestige 8 level 53 to Prestige 10 Level 38. I can’t complain :D

  • Jeremy // April 9, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    No Complaining here from this PS3 owner, When these new maps are exhausted and old we will still be able to pick out new movies in Blu-Ray Format. Not sure about HD however ;)

  • xLegioNx // April 9, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    Yeah will parties be disbanded because of this?

  • tom // April 9, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    402-
    Can you please tell me which playlists killzone is in, I have yet to play it.
    Thanks!

  • Rich // April 9, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    PC Rising? THANKS FOR NOTHING give us some info please 1.6 patch and new maps. getting tired of being polite here

  • tom // April 9, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    ^I meant Killhouse

  • 360funguy // April 9, 2008 at 7:18 pm

    Sam, i think 402 already said about that. He said something about matchmaking players who already have the new maps and a separate matchmaking for the other guys that don’t have it.

    As for me i started and 55 lvl 1st prestige to 47 level prestige 2

    402 any info on “team killers” option to kick out ? im not talking accidental ones i mean the bastards who do it on purpose.

  • fiveTREoh // April 9, 2008 at 7:18 pm

    Prestige 2 Level 6 –> Prestige 2 Level 42

    Like the guy above, I would have played a ton more, but 1.)My girlfriend likes to play too 2.)My girlfriend doesn’t want me playing 24/7.

  • Linc // April 9, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    I would also like to know what happens to people without the maps when they come up in rotation. I’m hoping its better than halo where the map wouldnt come up if everyone didnt own it. Thats why I stopped playing halo and switched over :D

  • 360funguy // April 9, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    as for the guys who are in a clan and some of you don’t have the new maps , it’ll say on the bottom of the lobby in red letters “variety pack disabled so and so doesn’t not have it ” that when you guys should point and laugh at your fellow teammate :P

  • MIKKAH // April 9, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    Yeah this is great!
    I like that you guys are on the ball to the community demands.
    Good work.

  • stan // April 9, 2008 at 7:27 pm

    Now what happen when within a group of players in the lounge, some don’t have the DLC?

    Will the map be skipped? I hope not…

    I think the decent approach is don’t let them play, just let them watch other players.

    Ill find out shortly.

  • f4stlife // April 9, 2008 at 7:27 pm

    ah. the double XP… ha my girl was like..again tonight!? ha

  • Scott // April 9, 2008 at 7:29 pm

    I was already maxed out, but in the leaderboards went up around 5,000 places, while still working during this timeframe.

  • Weir // April 9, 2008 at 7:29 pm

    @ Tom

    Play Cage match and Team Tactical for KillHouse

  • nick // April 9, 2008 at 7:30 pm

    when are we getting new on NEW GAMEMODES? or are there going to be any new gamemodes?

  • Scott // April 9, 2008 at 7:30 pm

    Also could you do double xp on other times.

    Example two for tuesday’s. 2nd tuesdays of the month, double xp.

    PS, could you bring all the maps from COD 2 as well. Updated graphics of course, but in the modern warfare. I would pay for them as well.

  • mike smit // April 9, 2008 at 7:32 pm

    first of all i want to thank you for the great new maps and the double xp!!!and i went from prestige 4 level 51 to prestige 5 level 4!!!

  • Punkgi // April 9, 2008 at 7:33 pm

    HALO 3 has a special option to play on the newer map… there should be an option for JUST DLC maps only… i wasted 10 nucks because i wanna play on the new maps…

  • Clint // April 9, 2008 at 7:34 pm

    I second the motion for COD2 Maps. That’d be off the mutha fuggin hizzle muh nizzle… shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt.

  • Clint // April 9, 2008 at 7:35 pm

    I think prestige 11 should be a Chuck Norris Icon. Who’s with me!?

  • Punkgi // April 9, 2008 at 7:35 pm

    bucks* and to continue…. and now I wont be able to because people are cheap…

  • Clint // April 9, 2008 at 7:36 pm

    Punkgi… WTF? You’re like school on saturday!

  • Brian // April 9, 2008 at 7:38 pm

    I hope you’ll do another PS3 related post soon, there’s still some questions ps3 users have that I hope you’ll answer, but I’m post them here since you’re focusing on Xboxers.

  • Brian // April 9, 2008 at 7:40 pm

    ^ should read “but I’m not going to post them here…”

  • JBenn911 // April 9, 2008 at 7:42 pm

    Would like to have an “official” explanation as to what will happen with games where there are ppl with “old” maps only, etc… So many different stories and posts.. I had to start over coming from PS3 version, and managed to get from lvl 20 to 40..

  • Rich // April 9, 2008 at 7:44 pm

    PC Rising? THANKS FOR NOTHING give us some info please 1.6 patch and new maps. getting tired of being polite here.

  • Les // April 9, 2008 at 7:45 pm

    Why can’t we have the Variety Map Pack playlists still? I’d like to be able to get some new map only action for my money (more than a few days). Is it a too much maintenance? Too much weight on your servers? I’m not being a douche, I’d really like to know why they playlists can’t stick around as well as having the maps integrated into the other playlists. Is the online community not big enough to support the exclusive lists as well as give non-map-pack owners enough action?

    I’m really curious. I really think having the exclusive list should be a part of having purchased the content… but that may just be a whining opinion.

    thanks for listening

  • Clint // April 9, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    Les,

    You can play any map you want at any time. It’s called private matches. They’re fun.

  • nhiverson // April 9, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    yeah some pc info would be cool i like playing on 360 once in awhile but i play mostly on pc while my bro plays on 360.

  • Les // April 9, 2008 at 7:54 pm

    Clint,
    you are correct and I’m a loser for forgetting to include that part in my comment. I posted this already on the thread at charlieoscardelta.com and should have copy/pasted it.

    Private Matches are fine but aren’t the full experience. You can’t setup a private match and then rotate against random players, you can’t earn xp/rank (which is minor in my opinion), I just think that for 10 bucks it would be nice to have the option to play real matches (with or without your friends) whenever you want exclusively on the content you bought (understanding that others have to be present to play as well.

    Thanks for catching my mistake Clint

  • the whale 34 // April 9, 2008 at 7:59 pm

    i went from prestige 6 lvl 50 to prestige 7 lvl 53

  • Les // April 9, 2008 at 8:01 pm

    Oh, and my final word is on a positive note.

    I really love the new maps. Great work IW. Chinatown and Broadcast are my faves, but they’re all awesome.

    Thanks for a great experience.

  • SSP Steved400 // April 9, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    I’m not into the prestige thing, so the points didn’t matter to me.

    But I am VERY much looking forward to the maps in regular rotation!

  • JROD // April 9, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    For the love of mercy!

    When will Killhouse be available for all game modes, outside private matches?!?!?

  • SSP Steved400 // April 9, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    JROD

    Are you sure it’s not now as of the latest change?

  • Books83 // April 9, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    I went form a level 2 prestige 55 to a level 3 pretige 39

  • JROD // April 9, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    @ SSP Steved400 -

    I have not seen it as of yet in headquarters or domination. Others on Charlie Oscar Delta are saying it’s still in Cage Match and Team Tactical only.

  • SSP Steved400 // April 9, 2008 at 8:39 pm

    That sucks!

    I get giddy when Shipment comes up in rotations; and I have no doubt Killhouse would be the same.

    I got up about 9 levels, couldn’t take advantage of it too much due to the fact I was working/visiting London for most of the weekend!

    Is Killhouse in other game modes now? Or is it still in F4All and cage match?

  • aye steve // April 9, 2008 at 9:15 pm

    for real.
    be happy yall got new maps.

    Ya people been domination boosting to there hearts content, so im guessing the average is alot higher than you think.

  • SASDAN // April 9, 2008 at 9:44 pm

    I have 10 more ranks to go through before i get my gold cross woohoo, i loved earning 800 plus points per game so i think you guys should sneak some more double xp points days into the callender.

  • Clint // April 9, 2008 at 9:54 pm

    Les,

    I hear ya about the restrictions here and there on play modes and maps. Me and a lot of my friends like the old treyarch COD3 way where it’s built around the unranked random party matches. If there were an option for “Unranked Matches” instead of “Private Matches” that’d be sweet. Sometimes I want to play Hardcore Domination, I don’t care about XP/Rank…. it’d be nice to open a lobby and have random folks join in.

  • Sparr // April 9, 2008 at 10:27 pm

    I,m a pc owner if I have my way everyone would get the same thing at the same time .THIS is BS and you think I,m going to buy another IW game after this your wrong,This my first and last.THANKS FOR—you got it.I just wanted the fixes.IW has got these people at each others necks about this dump $hit.AND Nova logic going to come out with a new glitch game.I might try that AT least they try to fix things and keep you informed,lol AND I ,m A 5 time beta testa for them,Maybe thats where you went wrong..I,m tired of posting with MY clan and getting no info.BUT trust me Cod5 will be not on our top list,LATER

  • Wondering // April 9, 2008 at 10:57 pm

    Not trying to start anything, but I am hoping someone can answer this for me. This is the first double XP weekend for the 360. I thought the PS3 already had a double XP weekend around the time that the game came out. I don’t care if they get another weekend over the 360 camp, but can someone please verify that the PS3 has already had a double XP weekend? THX!

  • Les // April 9, 2008 at 10:58 pm

    the PS3 did have a double XP weekend

  • 360/IW ISthaBEST // April 9, 2008 at 11:35 pm

    JUST KIDDING…now that I got your attention…why is it that a ps3 release title game Resistance Fall of Man can incorporate a nice working mic system, you can connect online, play with friends, mute people once not have to listen to them anymore and Rumble Support when this was released almost 2 years ago

    but you guys cant implement it into your game….LAZY….I cant wait until SOCOM Confrontation and GTA 4 comes out and buries this game for good… you screwed us over this time better make sure your mortgage is paid up when you try screwing us on COD 6, that is if its not an X360 exclusive….DOOOOOOOOOOOUCHEBAG

    402- LISTEN to the community, we want killhouse added into the same rotations as shipment, the small maps are a great change of pace and they needed to be added to at least H.Q. and domination

  • VARIETY MAPS PLAYLIST! // April 10, 2008 at 10:52 am

    hey i like have the new maps in the rotation, but honestly, out of the 3 hours i played yesterday i played on broadcast twice and chinatown once, oh and wet works, 6 times!! this is rediculous! i want to just play the new maps. why cant you just keep them in the rotation, but put back the variety map categories!! PLEASE!!! a lot of people on the xbox.com forums also want the playlists!

  • Dr Dynamic // April 10, 2008 at 10:59 am

    I reset into 9th prestige on Sunday morning and got to 55 by Wednesday, managed to reset into 10th just after 2x exp was turned off. Great maps btw, thanks.

    One question though, are the maps now free to everyone as they’re in the normal rotations? or do you have to have a whole party with the map pack in order for one of them to come up?

  • Nick // April 10, 2008 at 11:33 am

    I ranked up a bit no as much as other people but I did get over 1700 xp in one game of headquarters on broadcast and i only got 500 from challenges. I got six kills from one grenade that game.

  • WallaceUK // April 10, 2008 at 12:03 pm

    Please bring back the Variety map playlists, I hate playing the older ones. We payed for these maps, so I think we deserve to play them when we want instead of hoping we’ll get them in the other playlists.

  • sLAM // April 10, 2008 at 12:38 pm

  • Tim Marman // April 10, 2008 at 1:48 pm

    Same here - I found the new maps were seriously underrepresented. I assume they only come up if everyone in the room has them? What’s the matchmaking around this?

    Oh, and I would have loved to rank up, but you guys didn’t add new prestiges :) I got a few headshots though :)

  • FuKuy // April 10, 2008 at 1:52 pm

    From one PC Gamer to others… please be patient. Let IW work on PC Patch and new maps.

  • El Hadji // April 10, 2008 at 1:58 pm

    Wouldn’t it be great if players could pick the maps instead of having these playlists? Turn the tables - introduce a “Vote to play” feature instead of “Vote to skip”. Makes more sense, doesn’t it?

  • Justin // April 10, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    @Sparr
    Well I guess you’re in luck as the next CoD isn’t beeing developed by IW.

  • Justin // April 10, 2008 at 2:46 pm

    @true and every other “fanboy” out there:

    Grow up. Just because you feel insecure about your purchase of a video game console doesn’t mean you have to bash it’s competition. All three consoles are doing remarkably well and each has their own level of enjoyment.

  • JNuS // April 10, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    I thought mr 402 said he would dedicate this week to talk about the upcomings of PC and PS3? Has anyone heard anything about that yet? no, didn’t think so… :(

  • Scotty Gun // April 10, 2008 at 3:05 pm

    I really love the way you were able to add the new maps to the existing playlists, by adding the installation as a variable in matchmaking. This a rare treat for those who shelled out the extra ten bucks. It’s invisible, seamless and it just works. Awesome. By far, this is the best implementation of DLC I’ve seen on the 360, to date.

    I’ve done about a full prestige, in the past seven days, due in large part to the mondo hours I put into the exclusive playlists last weekend.

    So, will you guys share how the DLC worked out financially for Infinity Ward? I’m interested to know how many you’ve sold, versus your 360 install base.

  • latexmeat // April 10, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    I have a ps3 and can’t wait for the new maps, i do however get tired of everyone complaining all the time about how xbox is getting everything so much faster, yeah it sucks but i can deal with it to have a better all around system. And to all the xbox users who are telling ps3 people to stfu and what not, you know that if it was reversed and ps3 got everything faster you would be the ones complaining all the time. I honestly don’t know why they did this, it is odd.usually games are release at the same time for all consoles.

  • xi jihad ix // April 10, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    Huh, I’ve always taken being able to hear people walking up on me for granted. (I love surround sound for this game…hear people behind you, hear where the battles are and flank opponents, all kinds of fun)

    I heard the xbox was loud, but didn’t know it was that loud. Guess that’s another reason I’m glad I bought a ps3.

  • jyxz // April 10, 2008 at 4:47 pm

    i haven’t heard any news yet on the pc… i thought pc was ‘rising’ and ps3 was ‘in focus’ so far i have seen a few things about the 360… 1 thing about the ps3 and nothing about the pc. and its nearly the end of the working week… and still no info for pc :’(

  • nameshame // April 10, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    Seriously, give us Killhouse in Domination.

    Its bigger than shipment, definitely an awesome map. Simply perfect for a fast past territory game, yet is absent from domination. I’m sure others would like to see it in all playlists.

    So… Com’on!

  • unhumanrage // April 10, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    I agree. KillHouse would be great in all playlists.
    At least I think it would, I’ve yet to come across it.
    Hell, why not even put it in the Ground War list!

  • IDon'tGiveACrap // April 10, 2008 at 5:28 pm

    My 360 died last night. :-(

  • DJ Coop // April 10, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    Threads describing an 80010514 error for the PS3 have started to pop up in different forums across the Internet. It seems this error is associated with a malfunction of the Blu-ray Disc drive, which wouldn’t come as a surprise considering this next-gen optical disc technology is relatively new and it is still being developed and improved.

    Interestedly, at the time of this writing the PlayStation.com forums are temporarily closed…

  • TimzZ // April 10, 2008 at 6:27 pm

    I’m sick of this game !

    “..and heavily seeded the new maps in exisiting ones.”

    Excuse me? Heavily? Damn, I wish I never bought these stupid maps. I never run into these new maps !

    Maybe if I’m lucky (yay!) I jump into a new map where the game is almost finished.
    Losing with 5 to 235 (OMG!) But every time it’s on one of those old maps.

    Today I played all day HQ & I got like 2 times one of the new maps (TWO TIMES!)
    And one of them was almost finished like I said before.

    It’s f*cking bullshit this game.

    And what I hate the most is when I leave a game (after I get jumped into one where my n00bish team is heavily losing)
    & I start searching again, the stupid system connects me again to the same f¨cking map, even twice !

    I’m so tired of playing this game & buying the new maps was money down the drain.
    When GTA IV comes out, this game goes straight into the garbage can, I swear.

  • Justin // April 10, 2008 at 6:29 pm

    @ JNUS:

    Go back to first grade and learn to read:

    “Meanwhile, we’ve been preparing for the launch of the new maps on the PS3 as well via PSN. So we should have details on that in the near future (hopefully next week).”

    Not WILL BE but HOPEFULLY.

    “…it sounds like next week is going to be the most informative when it comes to what’s shaping up on the PS3 and PC side of things.”

    Once again, it SOUNDS LIKE! Not there WILL BE but there MIGHT.

  • K1LL3R // April 10, 2008 at 6:48 pm

    add Killhouse to more rotations how dumb to make a map and only put it in team tactical and cage match the 2 least played playlists

  • BlindFutur3 // April 10, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    Went from Lvl 55 2nd Prestige, to Lvl 40 4th Prestige :)

  • Fatal45 // April 10, 2008 at 7:38 pm

    I made it from 2nd 55 to 3rd prestige up to Lvl 26

  • Brian // April 10, 2008 at 8:00 pm

    Justin,

    Respectfully, as to whether there’s any information guaranteed this week, there’s plenty of information that 402 has yet to give us that doesn’t depend on him learning anything new, he could’ve started with that until he gets DLC info, but he probably won’t.

    Information like: what exactly was included in the ps3 patch? anything that actually fixed anything, other than that horrible bug of a lack of IW logo on everything?

    Why are people reporting worse hit detection/lag after the patch?

    Why is spawning so seriously screwed up after the patch-spawning in front of enemies, facing walls, into airstrikes?

    And what’s the real reason for the delay of DLC, especially when it took less than a day to respond to stories of an Xbox delay? It’s not the PSstore because there was a marked delay before it was even sent for certification.

    Why won’t IW address whether they were bought off by microsoft for exclusivity? The more it’s ignored, the more it seems to confirm.

    There’s plenty of information 402 could address, but it’s not related to The Great Xbox, so he wont.

  • Bill // April 10, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    402,
    the double XP was nice but I am at the 10th prestige level 55, so basically the points didnt do squat for myself. there should have been something special for 10th prestigers, like maybe double headshots(one headshot is worth 2 headshots), That right there would have been great, as I am still working towards my golden weapons. And yes I am a Xbox Fanboy LOL.

  • funkdigital // April 10, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    I like blowing up cars. More explosions.

  • ExtremeOne // April 10, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    What is the point in having 4 maps when the 4th one is only playable on certain game types thats not right . IW you guys need to make the maps playable on all game types . including HQ for Killhouse

  • Bill // April 10, 2008 at 8:39 pm

    I totally agree with ExtremeOne on that…HQ for KillHouse would be sweet.

  • ExtremeOne // April 10, 2008 at 8:56 pm

    Killhouse needs to be on all playlist not just Domination or Ground War . this is a load of crap that there 4 maps but 3 are only playable . I hope all 4 are playable on the PSN

  • Senor Barrigas // April 10, 2008 at 9:24 pm

    Is there any way IW could keep the Map Pack list the way it was and also have it in all game types too?

  • COD4 Player // April 10, 2008 at 10:23 pm

    Kind of sad to see Team Objective removed (again), Team Tactical is fun but I like to have the option of the 6 man teams.

    Team Objective was offered when COD4 first came out and then they took it away then too.

  • senorbarrigas // April 10, 2008 at 10:41 pm

    I am not bitching, the option to be able to choose would be great.

  • Jesse // April 11, 2008 at 5:37 am

    We need player matches 402. I want to be able to be host of my lobby and pick the maps, game type, score limit, time limit, etc from the lobby. It was in cod2 but suddenly its gone. Im dont with my ranks so I dont care about XP anymore. Give us somthing to continue playing the game for. I want to be able to play the maps ‘MY” lobby wants to play not whatever random map comes up. This is garbage. Ive wrote and wrote to you many times and I get no reply. This is somthing that should have been included in the game from the start. Its standard in many FPS games. Ranked and private is all you give us. PLAYER matches would kinda be inbetween with no xp rewarded and an active server with people just looking to play.

    Why is there no player matches? Cod2 had it…..

    Why in the world cant you pick up dead ppls granades? COD2 had it….

    Why is there no CTF? COD2 had it….

    So you go from the best FPS game with great features down to this. dont get me wrong i love alot of stuff about cod4 but it holds nothing on cod2 in features. STANDARD FEATURES AT THAT :)

    HAVE A NICE DAY………..

    —-OH AND I HOPE NO ONE IS EXPECTING A REPLY BECAUSE 402 DOESNT REPLY TO MANY QUESTION, I JUST HOPE HE READS THEM :(—-

    I went from Level 10 45 prestige to the moon where my head promptly imploded.

  • dazza074 // April 11, 2008 at 6:53 pm

    i have not got to prestige yet but on rank 43 - having to play with all these hardcore killers on the new maps was not always fun - but i am now starting to get some good kills in - for the first time did some serious damage on shipment and freeforall on killhouse is amazing mental fun.

    already look forward to the next map packs!

  • dazza074 // April 11, 2008 at 6:54 pm

    lynas - your post made me laugh - very funny

  • Krasny // April 11, 2008 at 11:45 pm

  • Forrest // April 12, 2008 at 1:42 pm

    Please bring back some sort of ability to play new maps only (in public matches).

    Please.

  • Cape Fear // April 12, 2008 at 5:28 pm

    Where is Killhouse ?!
    I played it last weekend in Cage Match but haven’t seen it in the rotation in a week now !

  • VARIETY MAPS PLAYLIST! // April 12, 2008 at 6:45 pm

    hey i like have the new maps in the rotation, but honestly, out of the 3 hours i played yesterday i played on broadcast twice and chinatown once, oh and wet works, 6 times!! this is rediculous! i want to just play the new maps. why cant you just keep them in the rotation, but put back the variety map categories!! PLEASE!!! a lot of people on the xbox.com forums also want the playlists!!!!!!!

  • thebigb59 // April 12, 2008 at 11:03 pm

    I don’t like the sound of this, so when the maps come out for the ps3 you will do this to our servers to. So you will force me to buy the map pack because I will be kicked from most if not all the games I join because I lack the maps, this better not happen

  • thebigb59 // April 13, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    can i get a response please, will you force me as a non-dlc player on cod4 ps3 to buy the maps

  • El Hadji // April 14, 2008 at 11:08 am

    Actually it works fine for ppl without the new maps on the 360, and my guess it will work in a similar way for the PS3. If a player without the new maps enters a party, the DLC content gets disabled for all players in that party. The party then heads out to play original maps only… And to tell you the truth, a lot of people are already bored with the DLC maps and very often vote to skip as soon as they show up (Killhouse never shows up when you choose to play Hardcore TD).

  • thebigb59 // April 14, 2008 at 12:50 pm

    thanks for the reply

  • Forrest // April 15, 2008 at 8:07 pm

    Again, I say. Please. Put the playlist back in.

    The only new map I got to play was broadcast once in an hours worth of play last night.

  • John // April 16, 2008 at 5:53 pm

    cool maps though.

  • John // April 16, 2008 at 5:54 pm

    why arent these maps on PC.It’s retarted that all the consoles get them now.and pc is gonna have to wait until like COD5 comes out and than theres no point anymore.This is/was a pc platform based game..what happened?? i suppose big business and big money rule all eh.

  • Moanmoanmoan // April 18, 2008 at 7:33 am
