The official time for the launch of the new COD 4 map pack is 2.30pm this afternoon. WOOOO! The Variety Map Pack (as it’s officially known) will contain 4 new maps, Creek, Broadcast, Chinatown and Killhouse and John Shiring (programmer of the game, or one of them anyway) said the maps came about as a result of community feedback.

The maps are only for the 360 version of the game at the moment, with Infinity Ward informing us that the PS3 versions will be made available in about 3 weeks time (so not that long to wait really).

I will be downloading these later tonight to play in my shiny new gaming room. The map pack will set you back 800 MS points (about £6.50 in earth money).

So you’ve burned around the streets, beeches and mountains of Paradise City and taken all of the advice offered by DJ Atomika but there’s still more to do in Burnout Paradise, well, there will be more to do later this year, that’s according to the developers of the game Criterion.

They say, on their official website, that the updates they’ve got planned are so significant that they’ve had to give them code names, because the usual number updating system just don’t cut it for these guys. The three updates will be rolled out later this year and in the order of ‘Cagney’, then ‘Davis’ and then ‘Eastwood’. But what could all this mean? Will we see new areas added onto the map, new events becoming available, different vehicles being added in? Maybe there’ll be weather additions or a day/night cyle? Who knows?

I would assume, at this stage, that these updates are coming for both the 360 and PS3 versions, though Criterion haven’t actually specified this as yet.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see, in the meantime - get online and get those multiplayer challenges done!
