CoD4: Double XP, new playlist, cheap DLC

Infinite Ward plotting big things for next week
If you still can't crowbar yourself away from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's admittedly brilliant online multiplayer, next week is going to be a big for you.

Next week Infinite Ward will temporarily slash the Variety Map pack down to half price, add a new 'Hardcore Headquarters' playlist and flick on the Double XP switch - for both Xbox Live and PSN players.

We'll let Infinite Ward explain the details:

"Starting Tuesday Feb. 24th, the Variety Map Pack will become 50% off for those of you who still need to pick it up, leading up to the promotion, I'll also be giving out tokens to download it for free on Twitter. When the last weekend of Feb. hits, starting Friday Feb. 27th and going until Monday morning, we'll be flipping the ol' mighty Double XP switch one more time!

"That's not all though, I plan on pulling an All-nighter on Friday the 27th in my attempt to finally reach Level 55 10th Prestige, and I want you guys to help get me there. To do that, we'll be adding a new playlist to the rotation.

"The Hardcore Headquarters playlist will be added on Friday 27th along with Double XP for the most XP heavy sessions you will ever see. Who's down for a little Hardcore Headquarters on Shipment?! Carnage will ensue."


Get the Red Bull in.

Excellent! :D I'll finaly get that map pack at 400 points too.
Posted by Slacher007
nah, i reckon i'll be playing KZ2 that weekend. i think i'll give it a miss.
Posted by bunneyo
still avent baught the dlc
why should we have to pay for it?
Posted by _Marty_
Somebody needs to subsidise the PC owners that get it for free...
Posted by bunneyo
you'd fink that because the ps3 and xbox make up for propably 90% of COD4 sales we'd be gettting it free, half the people on the pc probly got a copy...
Posted by YCshinobi
I've had this game for a few months, got all achievements and everything, but yet still haven't tried it out online. I must see what the big fuss is about.
Posted by _Marty_
If only it worked like that.
I strongly suspect that both Microsoft and Sony DEMANDED the charge for it - or even put the charge in themselves.
Posted by bunneyo
ye I wouldn be surprised mart!
ive been told that theres like one good level
which is awesome for sniping which is all im intrested in rite now with COD4, im like a slug
with beastly tendencies haha! knowning me i'll end
up paying in the end, how much is 400 points? 5$? £3.50, so i should be about the same on PSN im thinking
Posted by _Marty_
500 points is £4.25, so yeah, about that.

One level is very much all about sniping, but the Broadcast level is really good too. And the China Town level is cool if you like CQB and lots of places to hide.
The 4th level is slightly bigger than shipment. But not by much.
Posted by The_KFD_Case
Quite right. It's the natural order of things. *smirk* :wink:
Posted by The_KFD_Case
Aye. While I played the PC version and also do not care overly much about online gaming achievements in principle, I too have yet to really sample COD4's online multi-player. I had a blast with the single player mode though! 8)

I don't mind console gamers who recognise that we PC players are part of the equation too, but the amount of *****s who actively tar us all with some sort of 'All PC Gamers are thieves' brush can eat a cactus and excrete the spines for all I care. Labelling an entire gaming community thieves not only makes YOU look bad, but it makes console fans look bad because of the level of ignorance you're showing. I don't own a single copied game, but if I did, it would be of a game I already own such as Alien versus Predator 2 (My disc snapped in two- luckily I still have my CD Key and packaging.) as is allowed UNDER LAW!!

PC Gamers are making most of their purchases through Steam these days, and I think you'll find that alot of the PC Gaming sales for COD4 and COD5 have come through Steam.

Golden. :lol:
Posted by _Marty_
As much of an idiot that daily is, he's actually fairly close to the mark - I do get money off the government.
I work for a local authority - on a PC, meaning I have net access 24/7. Or should that be 7.5/5... :?
Posted by _Marty_
Just to clarify, I meant PC gamers get the map pack for free, not the game.
Posted by Wario-Man
Cool! What I love about COD4 is that you don't play for experience, you play for the fun. Xp is just the icing on the cake!
Posted by bunneyo
wheey same job as me mart, awesome lol

oh and edge i dint individually single you out did I?
i was simply stating that with the internet you can stream games of some torrent for free and play

Awesome. And theres me thinking they completely buried COD4. Stupid World at War, i hope everyone reverts back to COD4 next week leaving COD5 empty. That should teach Treyarch (who might i add suck dick even more for the complete rush job they done on Quantum of Solace. They really are a useless bunch of *****s)
Posted by Crackajack
^ Finally someone who agrees with me.

I don't know if I'll pick up the map pack, it seems a bit late now :cry:

Plus KZ2 is out that weekend I'll be playing that
Posted by STORMPILOT
Oh maaan do I watch the Rugby from Paris ( Wales v France)or get on COD4 that Fri night before I get completely bladdered!!!! Argghhh why is life so unfair sometimes! :wink:
Posted by bunneyo
stormpilot were you from?
Posted by danz202
That's cool, I should be getting CoD4 today or in the next week, I'll be able to reach Lvl 55 quicker than I thought, as well as the map pack for 400 points, leaving me with enough to still get the CoD:WaW map pack :D
Posted by STORMPILOT
Ha ha that a trick question my friend?

Cymru fella
Posted by bunneyo
haha nah jus glad tha im not the only welsh guy on here lol!
Posted by KK-Headcharge78
All good but Hardcore Headquarters sounds good until you think of the noobs with grenade launchers and the oh so amusing (not) team killing knob jockeys who currently ply their wares on HCore S+D and Deathmatch. Personally I would have preffered Hardcore Sabotage (which would be a similar noob fest I know) But come on IW how about another map pack simlpy of double or 3,4 times the size versions of crash, piepline, backlot and overgrown- now that would be awesome :)Keep us really going until the new one comes out!
Posted by STORMPILOT
Oh I'm sure there are a few of us around :D
Posted by bunneyo
haha sound!
long live wales lol

I cant believe that they are still trying to charge for the dlc. Its about time they released it for free. They clearly want to challenge WAW in the online stakes. PC users got it for free ages ago, and they should have made it free in the first place. I stopped playing it as a consequence of being kicked out every time a new map came up. I refuse to pay for it out of principle.
Posted by The_KFD_Case
I concur. DLC maps and such should be free of charge across all the various platforms in my opinion. These aren't expansion packs afterall.

Not only that but couldn't you get the maps free with a redemption code provided with every new copy of the "enhanced" Call of Duty 4 i.e the later versions. It seems the early adopters who lets face it make or break games companies always get penalised the most. Its a strange world.

That said I still love the game :lol:
Posted by bunneyo
I totally agree man its F-ing disgusting
Posted by ginsin
After 12+ in-game days of CoD4, I'm still at Level 55. I'll be staying at that rank forever, as I've only recently got my Gold AK-47. I bought the map-pack when it was released, and it was well worth the 800MS points I paid for it.
Posted by Valdon
Good news, as I've recently started playing COD4 online again. Still only second prestige level 48 though.
