No News – Good News?

After a two week wait for any news regarding COD4 updates, fourzerotwo finally posted on his popular blog. Unfortunately there was no PS3 news 😦 No sign of host migration being fixed and/or no confirmation either way wether or not the new prestige rumours are true or false. fourzerotwo did however hint at a new stat based website to be included in the new IW website to be launched mid-june. This new website will replace charlieoscardelta.com and the current IW website. He also confirmed there would be no changes to weapons or perks after complaints from several players regarding the unfairness of the juggernaut and stopping power perks, aswell as the super-effectiveness of the M16.

When asked if he could reveal if IW were working on COD5, he suprisingly couldn’t comment.

GTA4 News & Updates…

A few bits of interesting info has cropped up over the bank holiday weekend. Instead of getting absolutely trollied, as is traditional in England over this long May weekend, some people decided to hit GTA4 hard.

Liberty City can now be viewed using Google Maps! This handy application shows everything from mission start points to hidden easter eggs. Well worth a look. The map can be found over at IGN.

Are their Zombies in GTA4 multiplayer?

..and more importantly, are they Rockstar undercrackes he’s wearing!!

Rumour has it that the PS3 equvilant ‘achievement’ to the 360’s killing a rockstar employee online, is that you play the rest of the game as a rockstar zombie!! Although this hasn’t been confirmed by anyone yet.

Cod4 Variety Map Pack

After my housemates went to bed last night, I had a go at the new maps for COD4. My first gripe? Paying £6.99 and taking over an hour to download and then install the file. My second gripe? Being pwned like a N00B! The maps had only been out 6 hours in the UK and I felt like everyone had been playing them for weeks! My favourite by far was Broadcast, whilst playing an objective based game. I managed to get a kill streak of 7 whilst playing headquarters by camping at the end of a long corridor and just letting rip 🙂

In my 2 hours of playing I didn’t manage to play Killhouse once, nor did I get to play S&D on any of them. Hopefully this was completely by luck and not a glitch. OVer the next week I hope to write reviews and tactics for all 4 of the new maps, before I get my grubby little hands on GTA4!

Whats your favourite map and why?
