WTF....You have to pay for the map packs?
Apparently so... yes.
It seems IW's efforts in the console markets must be rewarded with lots and lots of $$$. Seemingly it is acceptable to recycle map-layouts and data that was used in 2001 and then reskin it (even though it is still in the exact same engine with the exact same gameplay)- and then resell it to a demographic of console gamers that are only too willing to pay for this tripe.
Don't get me wrong - I was happy when the Carentan remake was announced - but I was also extremely glad that it would not incur any additional cost to my wallet. I simply cannot justify spending $10-15 for a map that their team designed 5 years ago bundled up together with 3 absolute copies from their single-player design folders. More effort plz!

kthxbiOn the PC side of things the Patch is in queue to finish internal QA for release. The Community Mapping Content has come to an end and we’ll be putting out an open call for all the maps you guys have created to be submitted as well as releasing details on the prizing and how the winning maps may be showing up. We have some awesome prizing I’m anxious to finalize and announce to you guys. I’ve been keeping tabs on the Beta / Released maps in the Mapping forums on Infinityward.com and there are some great ones.
In addition to that details are being finalized as to getting the map pack to the PC users as well. I can’t speak specifics just yet as everything is being cemented now, but it sounds like good news.
Let me know if you guys have any questions or concerns in the meantime, but it sounds like next week is going to be the most informative when it comes to what’s shaping up on the PS3 and PC side of things.

Chinatown is mental crazy, Creek is snipers paradise, and it's fucking huge! waaay bigger than any orignal map. Killhouse is ok, good for team tactical i'd imagine.
Broadcast is really varied, SMG's, ARs and Shotguns all excel at it.
If you've got a 360, go get the maps!
i spawned on the Russian team on creak.
3 minutes into the game i had a 10 kill streak all headshots with the Barret.
CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
EDIT: the buying part of the maps was extremely homo.

Of course you can't make the kills at range. But the map's hardly open, there's so much clutter in the way, and there's at least 1 totally covered way to get to the oppositions base, never mind the incredible impact smoke grenades have on this map.specialistx2324 wrote:

creek= you better have a ghille suit and sniper rifle to reach out and touch someone , or else your dead.
creek = silenced SMG rape
chinatown = room to room fighting.
This isn't BF2, don't make the comparison.
Flanking is pretty easy, and once you're round the back, you're presented with about 6 snipers, all lying down, waiting to be shot.
