Well....I guess I am the only one reading this since everyone else is playing the new maps. I can't wait to get home.....stupid job!

Jeff Tronti @ Apr 4th 2008 11:37AM

I feel your pain.

joey @ Apr 4th 2008 11:58AM

Gotta get money for those points somehow.

How much can you get for turning tricks?

roach @ Apr 4th 2008 12:14PM

@joey,

that might not be the best argument! Spitzer's little trick was getting $4,500 a session!

joey @ Apr 4th 2008 12:24PM

I wasn't aware that I made any arguments.

roach @ Apr 4th 2008 12:33PM

my bad! read it wrong....

but anyways, turning tricks would net us a LOT of MS points!

i skipped school...

Robert Day @ Apr 4th 2008 11:36AM

They're taking so long to download, it's ridiculous. On about 40% after 1hr30...

Zane Daniels @ Apr 4th 2008 11:42AM

Wow....that sucks! I think I will have my GF start downloading them for me when she gets home so they will be ready to go when I get home.

AnOffday @ Apr 4th 2008 11:38AM

I have to go to a party tonight with my girlfriend. :( But you can beat I'll be pulling an all nighter.

roach @ Apr 4th 2008 12:15PM

that's what I like to hear! an all nighter of bangin'.... oh wait... you meant COD4....

xFenixKnightx @ Apr 4th 2008 11:39AM

Im at work while I can see 3 of my buddies are already playing these when I log into my LIVE acct damnit!! =(:::::::_____

Deck @ Apr 4th 2008 11:40AM

For sure be hitting these up when I get home!

Excellence has arrived!

jay @ Apr 4th 2008 12:07PM

I downloaded it about an hour ago, only took me about 15 minutes to download.

I have played Chinatown and broadcast. While I like these maps I feel like they aren't as well designed as the original maps. I have been spawned right in the middle of a bunch of campers about 3 times already in just 2 games.

Intentless @ Apr 4th 2008 1:51PM

Spawning in the middle of a bunch of campers is different from the original maps how?

TORO @ Apr 4th 2008 11:54AM

Gonna play 2night! Man I haven't played forever, gotta stop working on my website.

Cool the Reply buttons work now :)

jonecat @ Apr 4th 2008 11:57AM

What is the file size of the new map pack?

jonecat @ Apr 4th 2008 11:57AM

Nevermind, 444mb, just saw that.

HazyCloud @ Apr 4th 2008 11:58AM

444mb as stated in the post.

ljung8erg @ Apr 4th 2008 12:08PM

Man I stayed up hoping the would put them up in the wee hours of the morning but nooooo!! Check the iamfourtwozero site and they said 6:30am pst! MAN!!! That's 8:30am here, I gotta work!! BOOO! But to their credit, it was on time, I downloaded them but could play them in time... Such a tease!!

DBoyFlex @ Apr 4th 2008 12:21PM

Does anybody else think they are overpriced?

Prhime @ Apr 4th 2008 12:27PM

not fully. remember MS still "recommends" that DLC be paid for. You can think of it as you rewarding developers who worked so hard to get the maps ready for multiplayer.

also, they may be free maps available (the same ones now which cost) in the future. you pay to get it early as an early adopter. this applies to everything in life.

joey @ Apr 4th 2008 2:35PM

Maps for COD 2 and 3 never became free.

Rufus @ Apr 4th 2008 12:30PM

Hmm...

I'm on the fence. I want a new game, but do I get Assassin's Creed, RSV2 or COD4?

These maps would be a nice addition via the GOTY release, but still, a new multiplayer game, or some nice single player-ness.

xFenixKnightx @ Apr 4th 2008 12:40PM

I say COD4 would be the best bang for your buck although AC is an amazing game. I loved it but once your done with it your...pretty much done. So thats why I say COD4 is better, awesome single player campaign and the most popular MP game on LIVE. Theres a reason for that.

craig64 @ Apr 4th 2008 12:33PM

I somehow totally forgot about these maps! I know I saw they were coming out in April...I guess I just never realised it was actually April now. I'm going to have to get a points card after work tonight!

eric e @ Apr 4th 2008 12:45PM

This is the perfect birthday present that I could buy for myself. Thank you Infinity Ward.

Octantis @ Apr 4th 2008 4:15PM

Happy Birthday.

p33dibaker @ Apr 4th 2008 12:44PM

mines been downloading for and hour and a half and im still at 4 percent.

ZEBRA NINER @ Apr 4th 2008 12:55PM

I bought them first thing this morning. I only played creek, but it was very fun. I can't wait to get home from work to try out the other maps.

jay @ Apr 4th 2008 1:34PM

The map killhouse is not in the rotation of the new maps. This ticks me off. I payed $10 for 4 maps, not 3.

papertiger201 @ Apr 4th 2008 1:40PM

Has anyone gotten these in the rotation for S & D? I played like 8 games after dl'ing the maps, and I kept getting the same old maps... :(

Intentless @ Apr 4th 2008 1:53PM

Do you need the maps for any of the game types or can you play and if you have them you play them?

WTFoxtrot @ Apr 4th 2008 2:57PM

Double XP for the variety map pack playlists!

ANt @ Apr 4th 2008 3:00PM

Campers suck!!

The maps are great, especially Creek!!!

ANt @ Apr 4th 2008 3:07PM

"Do you need the maps for any of the game types or can you play and if you have them you play them?"

WTF??

franoculator @ Apr 4th 2008 3:13PM

Just a note to you hardcore players out there... you cannot (yet) play these maps in any hardcore mode. They're only available in TDM and Team Objective via separate playlists.

TiltedCircle @ Apr 4th 2008 5:42PM

Good lookin out man. I was wondering if they would be included in the hoppers. Thx!

sam @ Apr 4th 2008 3:39PM

I think yor gamerscore should count as ms points cause i need those maps

mcwattersm @ Apr 4th 2008 3:39PM

WHAT THE FUCK...NO HARDCORE WITH NEW MAPS.

DAMNIT

dale wilson @ Apr 4th 2008 6:33PM

I downloaded the maps about 10 hours ago and have tried to play them but when i go onto live it never selects a new map!!!! so despite playing for several hours i still havent seen them??? anyone else having this problem??

The downloads definitely completed and i dont get the option to download the through the COD menu so it must think they are working.

Ivan @ Apr 4th 2008 6:56PM

I can't download them, can't find it in the XBLM. And when I try to add my points I get an error.

GREAT SERVICE AT MICROSOFT XD!!!

George Arauz @ Apr 4th 2008 7:52PM

Hellz yeah.. gotta get it

MrTrousers @ Apr 4th 2008 7:31PM

Ok, after about 25 minutes of pressing 'A' rotating through 'Download now' and 'Cant get info from live' its finally downloading (and pretty quick too). So just keep pressing 'A'.

Also I expect they'll add the new maps to all the game types in the near future, so get used to them on TDM and then you'll be ready for when they appear on the other types.
