Call of Duty 4 Updates On The Way

by PacoDG


The bringer of all that is Call of Duty 4 news, Fourzerotwo has made a post on the official Xbox forums letting us in on an update/patch that will be coming sometime this month.

New playlists like a Team Deathmatch that doesn’t allow you to be in the same party as another person, so every team you play with is random….. now who requested this as a playlist?. Lots of maps added to Domination and Headquarters mainly, but other playlists as well. “Oldcore” playlist has been removed, as well as Team Objective (I am sad to see that one go). Other little improvements have been made even behind the scenes on how the game handle hosts, and… I honestly could go on and on, but for an already near perfect game imo, they come in with the free patch/update to fix things I wouldn’t have even thought needed fixing, check after the break for the full list:

Hey Everyone -

I wanted to give you the heads up on a lot of cool changes coming to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare multiplayer in the month of December. Before you ask, there is no ETA on these changes, most are included in the upcoming patch, with all the playlists stuff happening independently at some point in the near future.

All of these changes are thanks to YOUR direct feedback and suggestions through Xbox.com forums, emails, IMing me personally, and any other way you managed to get your feedback to us. So what can you expect?

Thanks again for your constant feedback and support of the game, keep in mind that playlists are constantly evolving, so everything is subject to change based on feedback and results. If we feel something isn’t fun or based on your feedback we’ll continue to change it up and I’ll continue to keep you in the loop.

Thanks everyone.

(The Playlist changes apply to both the 360 and the PS3 versions, but the PS3 will have different patch changes)
