COD4 patch 1.6

[venny]

interesting news.
Infinity Ward have announced details of the upcoming Call of Duty 4, 1.6 patch.

The patch is expected to be released in the coming weeks and will add a number of features including new killcams for grenades and airstrikes (details here). According to IW, version 1.6 will bring PC users up-to-date with their Xbox cousins which suggests that other features such as improved sniper and ACOG accuracy seen in the latest Xbox patch could also be included.

"Patch 1.6 will be the one that introduces the new Kill Cams and other features the console feature patches received for you guys" says IW's Director of Communications Robert Bowling. "The work is done on that patch and it’s essentially awaiting and going through internal QA here at Infinity Ward and then Activision. I will try to get a full list of what PC Patch 1.6 includes as I believe there are a few more PC specific things in there besides just the added Kill Cams and such."

Enhanced spectator support is expected to be brought across from the Xbox patch but again there is no mention of CoDTV from Bowling. An in-game TV feature remains "on the table" for IW but it would not appear currently to be a priority. Members of the community are urged to continue the campaign by providing feedback for IW on their forums.

Re: COD4 patch 1.6

Lol. Improved accuracy for ACOG scopes? Aren't they accurate enough?

Re: COD4 patch 1.6

So wait, has it been "in the coming weeks" for almost 2 months now?

I got bored waiting and went back to BF2/2142.

Re: COD4 patch 1.6

Yeah, the waiting period has been pretty ridiculous. There are still issues with the sniper accuracy that were supposed to be fixed in 1.3, so I hope they are fixed by 1.6 (especially after ~2 months).

I agree with a post made in a seperate topic that IW should focus on making gameplay fixes and such rather than making new snazzy kill cams.

Re: COD4 patch 1.6

I'd say a good 80% of Call of Duty 4 gamers don't even use KillCam, and I know many Server Admins, including myself who have turned it off all together. Making a new KillCam is pointless in my opinion and is just a waste of time. It's supposably been in QA Testing for months now, so who knows when we can expect it :S

Yep. Kinda frustrating at the wait-time, but there could be plenty of legit reasons for it, such as:
- QA found issues with the patch that needed to be fixed
- IW decided to add more to the patch, so they held it back (maybe browser changes?)
- as 402 has said, QA staff is very limited after a game is released (they go off to other projects), so if Console patches were prioritized, the QA patch was put on the backburner for awhile
- with the DLC maps/mapping contest, IW may have had to make changes to the patch to accomodate them down the road

It would be nice to have the actual info, but depending on the reason, people would likely just complain more. Sometimes it's best to just be vague or not say anything at all.

Agreed, Kill cams blow...make the game better instead of adding useless features like another style of killcam. Add more weapons and maps....not eye candy.

LOL, I love that. Good stuff.

Its delayed because they were making the CoD4 card game.

Re: COD4 patch 1.6

The Grenade killcams would be useful for "set nades" - tho you'd need to actually kill someone :? but would help the guy who just got set naded to learn about the set nade...
