    PC DLC and Patch 1.4 News Updates

    JD_2020 (Treyarch's Community Manager) is pumping out the info today. Check out the first bit of info which explains why the CoD:WW DLC is not coming out on the PC on March 19th.
    The Call of Duty: World at War 1st Map Pack for PC will not be released on March 19th.

    The PC Downloadable Content is taking some extra time as we prioritized addressing some far more important issues in our first 3 patches, which took time away from polishing and preparing the PC DLC. We also have additional updates which will be released in a patch concurrent with the PC DLC (including improvements to the spawn logic, "tank lag", IWD / mod support).

    Regards,
    -JD

    And just a while ago, we learned of some updated info from JD_2020 concerning the Patch 1.4 for CoD:WW. Read below:
    Hi all,

    Just a quick update to the PC Patch 1.4 status. This is the patch which will include the DLC Map Pack 1 content, as well as address a few issues with the game.

    Items Addressed:
    * IWD / dedicated server anomalies (the people this effects will know what I mean by this)
    * “Tank Lag” with logfile enabled
    * Improvements to the MP spawn logic
    * Autobalance functionality in various game modes

    A complete list of change will be posted when the patch releases. We are working as quickly as possible to get this patch and DLC out as soon as possible.

    Regards,
    -JD

    Glad to see such progress is coming from Treyarch. I will gladly wait a little longer for the PC DLC if a new patch comes with it. We'll update you as soon as we hear any more information on the CoD:WW DLC for the PC or the 1.4 patch. For the console gamers out there, plan on getting your DLC on March 19th for $9.99 or 800 MS points.

    Thanks to CaptainCrunch for the first bit of news and Whiskey for the price on the DLC.

      I would caution against totally jumping to conclusions. But at the same time, it appears that so far they are following a similar model/situation as last year with COD4's DLC. That DLC was free for PC, after a 2 month delay and sponsorship by Nvidia, so it's reasonable that this DLC release will work out the same way. But until we hear for sure from JD, I wouldn't assume anything as fact. I'd say that things are looking good so far, however.

      Keep watching this forum section folks...I think a few more DLC-related goodies will be posted shortly. :thumbsup:

        Interesting update from JD_2020 on Xbox.com just now. This update speaks to the new DLC release for console players.

        There have been suggested improvements that have been implemented. This might be an interesting list to read (I've bolded the items in question) if you are a PC player as the same changes may be on their way in v1.4.

        Hi everyone!

        So as you know, Map Pack 1 is releasing shortly (March 19th) or has already released depending on when you read this. With it, a new TU / Patch is being released for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

        We have been reading many of the suggestions in the community rgarding improvements to the game, and hope that youโ€™ll find many of them in the list below. I think the most popular item in this list will be the improvements to the spawn system included in this TU =).

        Items Addressed:

        * All rifle grenades fired during the first 15 seconds of Search & Destroy will be duds to prevent griefing in that game mode.
        * Improvements have been made to the global spawn system โ€“ players should never spawn within the line of sight of an enemy.
        * Players who equip the Bouncing Betty and melee teammates in Hardcore game modes are now credited with a team kill penalty.
        * Players are now deducted 200 points for team killing the bomb planter/defuser in Hardcore Search & Destroy.
        * Martyrdom no longer causes โ€œdirect impactโ€ grenade deaths in Hardcore modes.
        * Players ranked higher than the maximum allowed in the Boot Camp playlist are no longer able to play in games with lower ranked friends in that playlist.
        * โ€œBayonet jumpingโ€ has been disabled.
        * Further improvements have been made to geographical matchmaking.
        * The โ€œNewโ€ icon clears when a player has viewed an unlocked weapon (X360 only).
        * Many zombies were raised from the dead.


        Hope to see you online, and enjoy the new updates and maps!

        Regards,
        -JD

          The rifle grenade thing for S&D is pretty good. A TON of consolers have been mad about that and, from what I understood, has just about killed that game type for them.

          I dont play console, so I dont know that for a fact.

            Wow, that list sounds amazing! Glad to see these fixes ESPECIALLY the not spawning in the line of sight of an enemy...grr.

            * Players ranked higher than the maximum allowed in the Boot Camp playlist are no longer able to play in games with lower ranked friends in that playlist.

            ^^^I am confused by that one?

            And ROFL at the zombies comment!

            I have to leave the office, but I give my approval if any staff member sees this and wants to post it as news.

            Treyarch, seem to be working to get people's approval. They're doing a great job towards that goal imho. :thumbsup:

              From what I understand, Boot Camp is only for newer players to learn how to play the game. People would have friends make a low level account so they could cherry-pick and rape newbies to get easy points well after they should have moved on to normal playlists.
