Fans who've been asking for bigger and better maps in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) will finally get their wish as the much awaited Variety Map Pack has finally gone live on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Robert Bowling's blog reported that the downloadable map pack was released this morning at around 6:30 a.m. PST. This debunked the previous mention of the downloadable content's delay for next week.

The Variety Map Pack includes two additional maps to help extend gamers' FPS experience - the Broadcast and the Creek maps. These are the larger map sets fans of the game have been clamoring for from the developers. To help give players an idea of how the maps look like, we were able to grab two videos showing off the different aspects of each.

There's also been word that there might be extra experience points given out this weekend, so make sure to get your hands on the new maps before then and see if you have what it takes to go against your fellow soldiers on the new battlefield.

...got to play a couple of em' before work. Pretty sweet terrain. Loved the outdoor ravine one. That's gonna be sniper heaven.



And for some reason kills were registering as 20pts. Curious if anyone's figured out if that's a gift for the first day buyers or a glitch cuz I didn't get to play long enough to figure it out.

Hmm, this story has caused some confusion over on the PS3 QJ page as some people thought the maps were being released on the PS3 today. Dont worry im not hear to slag Xbox just came over some clarification. If anyone has played the new maps and wants to give me low down without starting a PS3/Xbox slagging war i'd love to hear from them.

» naw both platforms are great

... for some reason Sony's peeps are gettin' em on the 26th, I believe.



I got to play the Broadcasting station for 2min before it died on us then I played a giant woodsy outdoors map that will be absolute heaven for sniping. I played that for a full game and it just kept revealing more area. I heard lotsa people (incl myself) exclaiming "WHER THE HELL AM I?" after respawn. There's a cave that makes fire fights in there look so awesome.



The broadcasting one has large indoor killing venue as well as outdoor. The lighting in the station is very pretty. I can't wait to get back and play as every kill is worth double too. Not sure if Last Stand is worth 40pts but it was a pleasant surprise w/ the extra exp.

Yeah, I believe they confirmed that this weekend was going to be double exp. :)

Will this map pack be free later on?

» ah darn

Double exp this weekend? Crap, there's no way - with Microsoft's servers that they haven't upgraded - that I'll be able to play any games. Heck, I can't even download the pack yet because of the errors I'm getting.

800 pts for 2 maps is a little steep methinks....
