"Why don't I like Fallout 3? I just am not getting into it. I'm about 4 hours in and I'm supposed to be looking for a radio station. I am taking my time, doing some exploring and really trying to enjoy it. While I'm playing though, all I can think about is wanting to play something else."

Call of Duty 4: Variety Map Pack

WORDS BY: Ryan McCaffrey


"Broadcast" should look famliar to anyone who's played the single-player mode.

Face it: more maps for Xbox Live’s top title were inevitable.

The tight alleys and buildings of “Chinatown” make it the highlight, as C4 traps and UAV radar make tide-turning differences in hectic team deathmatches. Conversely, sniping triumphs in “Creek,” a unique mix of both high and low elevations and rural and urban terrain.


"Killhouse," huh? So what goes on here?

Meanwhile, “Broadcast” is a remix of the solo campaign’s second mission that felt a bit odd to us with its dead-ends and useless outdoor areas. The small, rectangular “Killhouse” is a crazy stab-fest — provided you’re high enough level to unlock the playlists in which it's available. But at 10 bucks, you’ll need to be a regular player to maximize the value.

VERDICT: FANBOYS ONLY

COMMENTS:

i love the new maps. creek has a bit of a learning curve though but once u realize how the map looks and plays it is fun.

the only good map was broadcast. i dont think it was worth it.

i found the map pack really dissapointing,and i expected alot more from the cod4 team!!!

ok when will we have more maps and more gameplay for COD4?four maps isn't good enough..I saw about 30 maps was made for pc games why not for xbox 360 cod4 games?or PS3 as well?i like to see huge maps would it be great?i think so!!

So why do you have to reach a certain level on cod4 to play killhouse, i mean if you buy something shouldn't you get to use it.

wtf these maps are awesome anybody with a brain could realize that!

These maps are really bad i expected so much more from the makers of cod4 with these new maps and i gotta say i was very dissapointed.

JaRocketeer187 you should buy COD4. The single player and multiplayer are great.

Yea, it really is fanboys only. I bought them and I regret it. Kill house sucks. The kill house on R6:Vegas 2 is a lot better. Wait til its free.

I agree. These maps are only a good deal for the hard core COD4 players, which are legion in number, judging from the near collapse of Xbox Live when the maps came out.

The new maps are excellent, and really created fun new places for constant gamers like myself. That said, if you only play once a week or on occasion, I can see why you'd want to wait and see if they make this download free in the near future.

IF you HAVEN'T picked up COD4 yet and consider yourself a FPS fan, then shame on you....Does the single-players have the length of Half-Life 2? No, but it still kicks some major butt. And getting the extra maps in the GotY Edition is just a little more icing on an already great cake

I'm happy with the map pack. Creek is really fun on Hardcore Team DM.

killhouse is in free 4 all and team tac

i just got the maps and i havent played on killhouse yet. what playlist is it playable in?

JaRocketeer,buy the Orange Box. The full Half-Life 2 experiance was far more enjoyable than CoD4's single-player experiance.

Hmmm, I thought about buying the COD4 Special Edition with some of my gift cards from the holidays. I don't know though. I have 80 bucks to spend, so I'm thinking, Orange Box, Assassin's Creed, or COD4 SE? I don't think the kids on a field trip in Gamestop really helped me. So, I'm gonna wait for a price drop....should I?

i don't know if anybody noticed, or if u guys are even big enough CoD fanboys, but Chinatown is a remake of Carentan, and CoD 1 and 2 fan favorite

I am still looking forward to buying these maps this week. I do agree with you Ryan about the Broadcast map. What's the use of adding in a map in which we already played in single player mode? Chinatown and Creek look amazing and Killhouse is a little to small. But still I am going to download these maps because I am a huge Cod4 fan and I look forward to dominating people on these maps!
