Re: Call of Duty 4 v1.6 Patch Released

so do i have to install all the previous patches for this one to take effect or can i just install 1.6 and be done with it?

You only need 1.6...it contains everything from the previous patches.

Thanks to all how have contribute to get this working. Only Posting this because there are now 5 Threads with this Instruction broken over many Pages.

If Steam releases their own Patch the worst what could happen is that you have to reinstall COD4 - but i dont think so.

Hmmm....CoD4 doesn't work now.:|: I guess I'll have to re-install, patching with 1.4 then 1.5 and then finally 1.6. Hopefully that will work.

Re: Call of Duty 4 v1.6 Patch Released

I absolutely love the new maps. I like the variety as well: small close quarters bliss as well as large open maps reminiscint of BF. This was so badly needed too.

Re: Call of Duty 4 v1.6 Patch Released

Twice now my game has crashed after having completed a match on Chinatown.

It happened to most everyone on the server, I thought it was just me.

This happened on the Falcon server, HC.

Anyone else have this happen to them?

Meh. The killcams are all fancy stuff. But there is still no sniper killcam. The fact that your hiding spot is given away..

Re: Call of Duty 4 v1.6 Patch Released

Is there a source for this news? IW has yet to post anything official about the patch. From what I've read, this is a leaked patch and lots of servers are crashing with it. I'm not updating my clan's servers until something official comes from IW.

The map pack announcement is now official (and uses the same download link from Nvidia as was previously given): http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/sit...1NQ==&req=view

Re: Call of Duty 4 v1.6 Patch Released

I must be the only person here that didn't realise they were working on a new kill-cam were it features and benefits over the current?

Consoles got it a few weeks back, and there was an announcement that it would be coming to PC as well, before the problems showed up. Basically, you no longer see things from your opponent's view, but instead the cam is at the front of the weapon used against you (ie. nade cam, rocket cam, claymore cam, etc). Kinda cool, but I don't know how useful they'd be...I think I might prefer the old one.

Re: Call of Duty 4 v1.6 Patch Released

what about the New killcam, even tho i dont play on servers with it i wanted to check to out

People need to start reading back a few posts...

Remember, 402 mentioned a few weeks back that a major bug with the new kill-cam was one of the things holding up the patch. They probably couldn't fix it in time, and decided not to delay everything any further (thankfully).
