Apparently the guys over at the Infinity Ward studios heard that the internet was up in arms (and we even knew what day it was too) over the news that the Call of Duty 4 Variety DLC might be delayed by a week. In response to the internet craziness, their resident community guy, IAMfourzerotwo, took cahrge and implied directly that the whole thing really was an April Fools day joke and that we can all expect to be seeing the maps go live on the night of the 3rd or early in the morning on the 4th. Despite what any "official sources" might have to say about it, IAMfourtzerotwo notes that the news also goes for those players who had any kind of redemption code (GOTY buyers, etc). Fourtzerotwo mentions as well that the GOTY website will soon be changed to dispel any remaining confusion. Good news all around, and looks like we'll be playing new maps before the weekend gets here!

No, you're right. I've definitely gotten used to it, but I still think it's lame. People like to tout the realism of this game, but what's real about pulling a pin and dropping a grenade AFTER you die? Show me one person who can pull the pin with an assault rifle round in his brain.
I mean even with 'Last Stand' you don't always get it. If you get blown up, you don't survive to shoot the gun. The same should go for martyrdom. Headshots, grenades and RPGs should void martyrdom.
And that brings up another point. Why the hell does the guy take so long before he throws a grenade back? It's like he's examining what type of grenade it is. Just throw it, ya dick!

What is really funny is that now when I play halo 3 and I kill a guy I run away from his body. I am also trying to make Master Chief sprint. And lay down on the ground which makes me melee and inopportune moments.

What I really can't stand is douchebags with sonic boom and martyrdom.

Did I call shenanigan or what?
Although in retrospect I think they had some problems and was able to overcome.
By the looks of things, I don't expect it to come out late today.
But I will be downloading it tomorrow morning.

What's going to be really funny is when I don't buy these maps. Take that, Infinity Ward!

Yeah, I'm sure everyone who's waiting for blackout, avalanche, and ghost town are thinking the same thing. /sarcasim

Halo 3 owns all. Bungie doesn't screw with their customers to make some lame ass April fools joke either, and they don't brag like IW does.

If it was a joke, how come it's still up?

Like I said in another post, this wasn't an April Fools' joke. Activision (apparently) sent out the wrong release date in an email to the press and as you can the GOTY site still says April 10.
If you read his post, 402 doesn't even say it was an April Fools' joke by the way..

"IAMfourtwozero notes that the news..."
he seems like a pretty cool guy, but I don't think his handle spells out '420'. not quite hetty enough
