Infinity Wards Awesome New Map Packs For Call of Duty 4
On April 5th 2008 Infinity Ward released new maps for Call of Duty 4. Xbox Live was abuzz with the long awaited release. Many subscribers were frustrated as the download servers were swamped but it was worth the wait.
The new Call of Duty 4 map packs are totally awesome. Infinity Ward has out done themselves in the quality and the detail in the new maps. Call of Duty 4 is the game of the year. The new maps are much larger and the graphics are state of the art.
Creek is by far the most popular map for snipers you will find one hiding behind every boulder and tree. The map is divided in half by a rugged ravine with waterfall and creek running through the middle. A cave allows for a quick pass-through, but watch poking your head out as a sniper is always waiting for you. The map features many farm houses and one with a large deck overlooking the creek. Exceptional detail down to spider webs in the cave and under the wood deck. In the center of the map you will even find a campfire with your dinner and a pot of coffee waiting for you. In parts of the map you can even hear the crickets.
Chinatown the moonlight offers dim lighting which is brightened by the streetlights and neon signs. The maps makes you want to take an evening stroll through Chinatown but there is a sniper in almost every window. Much detail was added the fruit stands you can shoot the watermelons and potatoes. The streets are well designed and inside the buildings are detailed stores, shops, Laundromat and video store. I was a little disappointed not to find a local deli with chickens hanging in the window.
Broadcast is a large map featured in a TV studio. Much detail was paid expansive offices and the bright colors are awesome. The boardroom even has a colorful floral arrangement on the table. Television monitors line the walls and when shot they explode and through sparks. The map expands to a large parking lot with outer buildings that offer great sniping spots into the main lobby.
Killhouse offers tight quarters set in a warehouse. This is a small map for tactical teams and cage matches. Plywood walls offer no protection from the flying bullets.
We take our hats off and give a standing ovation to Infinity Ward and XBOX Live for this long awaited addition to Call of Duty 4.
