  • Status Report on PC Map Contest and Patch

    Infinity Ward's community manager FourZeroTwo has posted a new blog today giving us an update on the PC map contest and patch. Take a look:
    I wanted to keep you guys in the loop on how the Map Contest is rounding out for all the PC mappers waiting to submit their maps. We had hoped to start accepting submissions by now but regretfully (as typically happens) the legal required participants to be US only which was unacceptable for us. So we’ve been working on making it open to worldwide participants which requires quite a bit more legal / contest rule work due to the different laws and regulations in each country.

    We could have launched it and made it US only but I know we have a fantastic worldwide community of mappers that would have got severely screwed if it was that way and I won’t let that happen. So that’s what’s holding things up right now. The good news is submissions should be starting THIS WEEK as we’re in the final stages of chasing down our international legal department. Once we have it all confirmed, I hope to have the submission page linked here for you so you can start sending in your custom maps for the contest. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I’ll answer what I can.

    As for the 1.6 patch which was going through test, we found a critical bug during QA which broke kill cams when playing with mods among other things which put a hold on it and put it back in development. We’re continuing to evaluate it and looking into releasing it when the map pack potentially hits PC. I’ll keep you updated as it progresses, but right now it won’t be coming out anytime soon while we track down this bug.

    - QA found issues with the patch that needed to be fixed

    Sometimes, the actual answer really is the simple one.

      Why is it a “potential” release? I thought the map pack was confirmed for PC.
      Come on IW, us PC gamers are the reason there is a CoD4. Now give us the map pack please.

      @ Fullbleed: It’s only “potential” because we’ve never “officially” announced the map pack for PC and there are no details on when it is coming. So until then, I say “potential”. Although it’s just a matter of logistics now (AND NO, I don’t mean how we can make you pay…. sheesh

              I seriously hope that the "critical bug" in killcam isn't the sole reason for putting it back in development. How many servers actually have killcam enabled?

                Kinda' scary seeing the constant use of "potential" by 402.
                Leaves them a nice way to back out...
