So Whats Happening on PC and PS3?

[Spawndemon]

Infinity Ward's Community Manager FourZeroTwo has posted up a new blog entry today discussing the latest happenings for COD4. Check it out:

I know that all the PS3 and PC players have been waiting for information during this onslaught of Xbox 360 patch release and I want to let you know that you haven’t been forgotten, there are still things happening on your fronts as well.

The PS3 feature patch is currently at certification at Sony and has been for about a week now. It’s going through it’s necessary channels worldwide for each respective region. We haven’t heard any problems back so that’s a great sign. We haven’t received any eta from Sony (which is typical for these types of things) but if I hear any indication of when you might be able to expect it I’ll pass it along.

As for the PC version, Patch 1.6 will be the one that introduces the new Kill Cams and other features the console feature patches received for you guys. The work is done on that patch and it’s essentially awaiting and going through internal QA here at Infinity Ward and then Activision. The good thing about the PC version is it doesn’t require any certification so as soon as it’s finished internal QA it heads out the door to the players. 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. Don’t forget we still have the Custom Map contest going until March 31st, if you have the PC version and want to check out all the cool custom maps everyone is making we have a running list going with all the current releases and beta maps in the works.

Nothing really new for the PC gamers then.

I'd like to see some new official maps in the near future.

Yayy, new Kill Cams! I wonder what else will be in it. Nothing major, or they'd probably harp on about it for a bit. The custom map contest had better yield some good maps.

Hopefully bug and balance fixes as well.

They said that they'll probably take the best custom maps from the contest, which there are quite a few good maps, and make them official...which is definitely a good thing:yay:

Even after all this time IW still hasn't released no Dedicated Server files... 4gigs of junk to make a server run is really crazy. :shakehead

At least they are on top of patches though..but I agree with the lack of new content such as maps(larger more open maps) is kinda sad.

[jesus]

those new killcams look cool

[jackal22]

so we are not going to get any good maps...


yes I know some of the custom ones are actually quite good but compare them to an official IW made one where they had a whole team working weeks to make, they just are not comparable. Then you have all the copyright issues, there are going to be no ports of other game maps in there, that pretty much eliminates all the BF2 remakes.


still at least they are still supporting the community and have not broken the game yet with a patch unlike some...

The kill cams are good fun

[StoneCold313]

So kill cams for PC gamers too.. :yay:

Maybe it's time for me to start playing on kill cam on servers..

Since you seem to want large, open maps so much then why don't you go make some yourself?

[TSlaw*]

New kill cams? When are we getting a hardccre/softcore filter?

One can make all the maps anyone would want, but if its not ranked, no one will play them

Not true.

Are you talking about custom remakes?
