Your call Spawn...might be an idea to at least grab it quick before the link gets taken down...you can sort out "official" posting later. Muahahahaahaaaa!!!

So tempting... :p

I've got it downloaded, but may wait til morning to see what happens to that post. I'm thinking this will probably just make them officially announce it sooner than they were going to.

Re: Variety Map Pack Sponsored by NVIDIA Hits PC June 5th

I just successfully installed it. It's legit. :)

The new maps work, and there is a filter for HC/SC/Oldschool. I reset my filters and there are about 10 servers up and running the new maps already.

Re: Variety Map Pack Sponsored by NVIDIA Hits PC June 5th

Hmmm I wonder if I should post this now or wait until the "official" announcement...seeing as this may get pulled as soon as IW sees it. :hmm:

1.6 Patch & Maps have apparently been released: http://download.nvidia.com/downloads...PatchSetup.exe

Some folks on the IW.com forums say it is legit and they're trying them out now. Those who posted said that it appears the new kill cams may not have made it into the patch (which makes sense, considering 402 mentioned it was causing a major bug, or maybe it will be in a server-side patch), but they say the the HC/SC filter is in. :)

I'm downloading now as well.

EXCLUSIVE for Club SLI members for 24 hours before it goes public!
Map Pack

With the release of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map Pack, Infinity Ward expands the online experience of 2007's top-selling game by providing fans with four new multiplayer maps featuring a variety of locations, while supporting split-screen and system link play.

Online action takes players to "Creek," a wide-open village ravaged by combat where concealment is the difference between life and death; "Broadcast," fight throughout an enemy communications building with confined corridors and wide-open parking lots; "Chinatown," a foggy downtown district, lit only by a full moon and the neon glow of the city; and "Killhouse," featuring a desolate training warehouse filled with a variety of building mock-ups and soft and hard cover points.

Club SLI members have a 24 hour preview EXCLUSIVE, which gives you a 24 hour "leg-up" on the competition just for being a Club SLI member! Beginning June 4th at 12:01 AM Pacific Time, click here to begin downloading the new Map Pack!

Should be available for everyone else tomorrow :).

Re: Variety Map Pack Sponsored by NVIDIA Hits PC June 5th

getting something for nothing can some times be a "half measure" in a way a would rather pay a few pennies for a map pack in the hope of getting other things as well. like more purks & ranks to work on! something to give the game a bit more longevity till bf3:salute:

Re: Variety Map Pack Sponsored by NVIDIA Hits PC June 5th

Especially when so many custom map servers are running in HC, and using some weird mod. It would be nice to just play custom maps in regular mode without all the extra fluff to worry about.

Re: Variety Map Pack Sponsored by NVIDIA Hits PC June 5th

Word! I actually play on a lot of custom map servers. Helps keep the game fresh. That's why I was confused when TGN's wasn't working b/c I wasn't even aware that anyone had difficulties with it or that there was an issue until I heard of the problem here. *fingers crossed* though. It'd be fun to game it up with some of the people you see here all of the time.

Hopefully 1.6 finally fixes that custom map dling issue and we could have our Friday night custom map night on the TGN server! :P

Keep in mind that other clans & servers are running their custom maps just fine, so they've obviously solved the looping download issue. If we really wanted to have the custom map server running, the server gurus from TGN could probably solve the problem fairly quickly by posting a few questions on the IW.com, FPSadmin.com, or RaidersMerciless.com forums where there are lots of experienced server admins.

But we've waited this long, so we might as well see what the patch brings first, then go from there.
