    CoD:WW - More Patch 1.4 & DLC Details

    JD_2020 (Treyarch's Community Manager) has released some extra info about the upcoming CoD:WW 1.4 patch and DLC. Read JD's post below:
    Hi all,

    As the patch draws nearer, I wanted to post a more comprehensive list of what we’ve been working on for Patch 1.4.

    * 3 new Multiplayer maps: Kneedeep, Nightfire, Station!
    * Nazi Zombies map with more weapons, Perks-a-Cola machines, and electroshock defenses: Verrückt!
    * Improved spawning logic.
    * Auto balancing improvements. Players are no longer auto balanced while completing objectives.
    * Mods: IWD’s can be placed in the usermaps folder.
    * Mods: Hold Breath / Sprint functions as intended.
    * Mods: MissingAssets.csv is generated when maps are run with developer set to 1.
    * Fixed lag caused by shooting at tanks.
    * All rifle grenades fired during the first 15 seconds of Search & Destroy will be duds.
    * Players who equip a 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 direct impact deaths in Hardcore modes.
    * “Bayonet jumping” has been disabled.

    Additionally, you’ll be happy to know that Map Pack 1 will be completely free for PC users, and included in the Patch 1.4 installer!

    The release of this Patch & DLC is still TBD at this time. I intend to release an ETA when we have settled on one – your patience is greatly appreciated.

    Regards,
    -JD

    Most of that information has been known previously, but it is great news to hear that the DLC WILL be free for the PC users. Worth the wait in my opinion.

      I'm likin' all of those. And I'm not surprised about the 15 sec delay on the rifle nades in S&D. Maps are often too small, and a quick nade at the start of a round that takes out half the other team can be pretty frustrating if you're on the wrong side of it.

        Bayonet jumping? That's news to me. Maybe I should go try that out before it gets fixed. :p

            Damn... still no fix for their "award winning" sounds.

            Are the tweeks for the sounds still locked like they were in the beta, or have they atleast allowed us to mess with them? I heard theirs an option for single player but nothing for multiplayer.

            Everyone should of expected the free DLC for the PC, they have enough issues with the PC crowd as it is.

                  They had to give it away, with Infinity Ward doing the same before it wouldn't look very good for them to make the PC guys pay for it.

                        Bayonet jumping is how the auto lunge will magically make you fly into the air when you aim at somebody above you. Like in COD4 when you climb up a ladder, jump back and press the knife button aiming at the guy above, you do this 5m lunge kill him and are ontop of the ladder.

                          Yeah, people were using this to get to places in the maps where no one was intended to reach.

                          It was a big issue in Halo 2 with sword jumping, too. Same concept.
