Just arriving in our press release inbox is news from Activision that they're planning on releasing their first ever
Call of Duty 4 downloadable content this Spring. The new DLC will usher in a few new multiplayer maps to the
CoD4 gaming community via download off the XBLM, but other than that, mum is the word. Neither Activision or
Infinity Ward have detailed how many new multiplayer maps will be released, what the DLC pricing will be or an exact date for the new content's release. But we're sure
CoD4 fanboys will be happy with whatever Infinity Ward makes available in the months to come and hell, we have faith in them too. Long live
affordable and relevant DLC! W00t!

Dreamed about two CoD4 maps last night: (Yeah, I really did.)
• One map was in a health quarantined, suburban street at night. You hear crickets and dogs barking in the distance. The street is abandoned, the buildings having been left alone for a few weeks. Doors had big painted 'X's on them, and one home had a small prop plane smashed into it's side, still smoldering.
One side of the street was a culdesac, the other was blocked by military tape and MP vehicles.
• The other map I dreamed about was on top of Chicago (Or NYC) skyscrapers, high above ground level. The battles took place in the abandoned offices and rooftops, with scaffolding in parts and ziplines connecting each tower. Broken office windows would cause loud wind gusts and blown paper from desktops.
These were too pretty cool ideas I had; just curious what you all think about them.

Seems more like Rainbow 6 maps to me, but yeah, very cool.
Well, I am pretty indifferent about this press release. I would rather have heard some news on the patch first, then map announcements. Still, of course I'll be buying them, I hope there is at least 3 new maps. More the merrier.

They better hurry up with some details... What happened to the bug patch that was mentioned a while back that was supposed to be released within weeks of the mentioning of it? Hosts keep leaving when their squad is about to lose when they had a lead most of the game... And some people are having nightmares playing the damn game because of connections...
Not to mention I'm stuck in veteran with no ability to get past where I am because it won't register the four tanks being killed...

That's funny this was announced ... I literally googled "CoD4 DLC" this morning.
Hopefully some new maps and the fabled fix of last month.

Whatever Man. I've been reading about the "Patch" releasing soon and all that other BS. There's so many frustrating things about CoD4, and this coming from the guy who USED to be their freakin spokesperson! Or, you would have thought I was. I'm Fed Up I tell ya. FED UP!!! I'll talk about it when it gets here damnit! (Sorry)

Yeah, I agree! I thought the same thing when I read the headline, whatever! I've waited so long for any info regarding a patch, etc. Spring, what the hell does that mean? Based on the calendar that could be anywhere between March 20 and June 21 and based on my recent experiences with call of duty 4, I'd say closer to June and probably delayed until "Summer." Screw you, IW and Activision.

Maybe they'll make multiplayer maps that aren't cut outs of single player maps.

Does this do anything for the single player game?

Once Assassin's Creed goes on Ebay, I'm getting CoD4 next so until that time, I'm not making any comment about Halo 3,their mappacks , their patches and their broken melee system.

The melee system in Halo 3 isn't the only thing that's broken...
...commence flame war!

That's the most annoying bug thought.Plus I'm getting CoD4 soon-ish so I might come back redeemed as a CoD fanboy, declaring how much Halo sucks :)
For now I'm not touching your flame wars with a 40ft pole.

800 points ... 3 or 4 maps. Pretty standard now days. I'm fairly content with the current maps, but more variety is always welcome. How about some multiplayer achievements!?!1

Well I'm already bored to death of it, only 'play' it to keep up with xbl friends (really need another game to see me through to R6V2)...
What a coincidence that this is going on around the same time as the map competition closes though... Methinks that the winner(s)'s map(s) will be included, but I want that patch first (might fix what I'm starting to hate in this game - inconsistency).
