I get so damned frustrated over this game. First I can't stop the nuclear bomb and then I can't stop this guy from shooting himself.

I guess I'll move on to the next scene then.

Interesting interview with the developers about the upcoming patch and making the game. Humvees woulda been cool in mult-player...

Killcams on airstrike bombs and grenades should be pretty cool.

IGN: What's the console patch going to resolve?

Bowling: We're working right now on the features patch, because the majority of it is new features for multiplayer. Right now in our feature patch, the big thing for consoles is host migration. So if the host leaves a game, everyone won't be bounced back to their own private lobbies. If the host leaves, it's going to stop the game, keep everybody together, auto-assign a new host and restart the game. We also added kill cams to everything. We added kill cams to air strikes, so as soon as the bomb leaves the plan, you can follow it all the way to the ground. We added kill cam to grenades, which is my favorite, because whenever you get the "What the [bleep]" grenades that you're just running and you blow up and wonder what the [bleep] just happened -- now you can see that the guy threw it over a building, hit a tree branch, went through a window, rolled between your legs and blew you up. They're also on claymores and RPGS and M203s, which is really good because M203s typically go really far. You can watch it travel through the air and land right into your face.

We also improve sniper and ACOG scopes. Those are going to be more accurate. We have a lot of community feedback about how snipers were broken. The "I know I hit that guy" board posters -- who are in every game everywhere -- well we took a week and looked at it. Our lead character designer, who designed the Ghillie suit, he played around with it for a week and he said, "You know, I think those guys are on to something." We upgraded the spectator cam, so now you can rotate 360 degrees around whoever you're spectating, go from third person to first person. And then there's a bunch of technical optimization that just came as a bi-product of adding host migration and general code work.

That's interesting. One of the things I enjoy the most about Halo 3 multiplayer is the vehicles (which I think is one of the strengths of the Halo series, they really got the vehicles right), and using vehicles in objective games...I kind of miss that part when I play CoD4 online.

I understand their point about the maps, but they could have created a couple of large open maps specifically for large-team objective games and included the Humvees, and only had those maps show up in their objective game playlists...

I mostly just play normal team deathmatch...and not very well. I usually get excited when I'm not the last place guy after the match.

Call of Duty 4 Map Pack Imminent
Take Friday off work, suggests Infinity Ward.
by Martin Robinson, IGN UK

UK, April 3, 2008 - An Infinity Ward insider has spoken out about the launch of the new map packs for Xbox Live king Call of Duty 4, noting the developer is currently aiming for a release this Friday, April 4.

Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has stated on his blog that, "As of right now we're pushing certification for an on-time release for April 3rd or 4th [...] I'm being told that it's a good chance it will be released worldwide (except for Japan) tomorrow night / early-Friday morning."

Bowling continues, "For those of you asking when you should take off work, I'd take off Friday, as it looks like they should be available late Thursday night / early Friday morning, which means Friday you should be able to play all day." We approached Activision for confirmation, but the publisher was unavailable for comment.

Costing 800 Microsoft Points, the pack contains four new maps for the online component of the game - currently trumping Halo 3 on Xbox Live - and you can appease your curiosity by checking our preview, should you so desire.
