FPS Rantings

Watch interviews on CoD4 Variety DLC

by Mike on April 4th, 2008

By the time you read this, the new “Variety” map pack DLC for Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat has already been released. Are you still on the fence regarding the CoD4 map pack? Then maybe the new developer interviews would change your mind.

This map just might seal the deal for me since it’s not available in the single-player campaign. The Creek map looks huge and may encourage snipers to camp, but like Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling explained, certain shortcuts would keep snipers in check.

Broadcast may look familiar if you’ve bothered to play the single player game (it’s the TV station). The map comes with a twist though—there are seven or eight entrances to the station. What’s more, everything other than the TV room is “redone.” What does that mean? I have no idea. Best way to find out is to get the DLC–if you’re willing to spend for it.

Like the Legendary maps, you have to shell out 800 MS points (same price at PSN) for the new DLC. Unlike Legendary, Variety comes with four maps.

    When its all said and done I feel like I only got two decent maps out of the deal. Killhouse and Broadcast. Creek is so boring because of the rampant camping, and china town has so many stupid roofs and hiding rooms that it isn’t fun either.

    Which version of CoD4 do you have? I’m a cheapskate so I didn’t even try getting the maps.

    Good point on the many hiding places in that map. I like my levels small, making gameplay more confrontational. No room to camp.
