COD4 LIVE Fire Weekend 2008 announced

Infinity Ward is back with another LIVE Fire Weekend, this time celebrating the launch of the Variety Map Pack. There’s plenty of events lined up, as well as plenty of prizes.

The weekend kicks off on the 19th with a chance to play with the developers. Members of the IW team will be online from 6-9 PM EST next Friday. Immediately after, the GamerchiX will be on from 9-11 EST. There’s also a Game with Fame event going on from 9-11 EST with three-time Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight champion Jens Pulver. For those who just picked up the Game Of The Year edition, many of the Xbox Ambassadors will be online Saturday to help you learn the ropes.

There’s some pretty nice prize packages up for grabs as well, with one package given away each hour as well as a single grand prize. The hourly prizes include limited edition COD4 swag and 4000 MS points, and the grand prize includes a 360 Elite system and a small assortment of goodies to go along with it. You can enter online here, or you can download the LIVE Fire Weekend Registration Gamer Picture from the Marketplace. On a slightly sour note, as usual the contest is only open for residents of the US and Canada. It’s a tough week to be a European gamer.

i am trying to play cod4 right now, and all of my variety map pack playlists have disappeared. anybody else having issues? i guess i will try clearing my cache, but i hate doing that.

Well that’s because those playlists were removed, they’ve incorporated the new maps into regular playlists now.

i am absolutely heart broken. i guess i should pay closer attention. i will find a more appropriate place to bleed my tears of sorrow soup.

there is no mention of these playlists disappearing in any article i have seen. is there no one to hear my screams. this is just fucking wrong. i waited a half an hour to play a single round on one new map, with a buddy that i just spent two days convincing to get them. he can’t afford wasting money on bullshit like this. these maps are not going to get played now, and this is total bullshit. i don’t want to play vacant anymore. i don’t want to play showdown anymore. let me play the maps i like, jesus christ, you just charged me TEN dollars for them!

seriously kid… stop crying. if you’re not old enough to buy the game, then you shouldn’t be playing anyways. and based on the comment you just made, you’re DEFINITELY not old enough to be playing. and IF you were smart enough to read the description of the game types when you were playing they even said that they would be integrated into all play lists this week.
YOU STILL GET TO PLAY THE NEW MAPS

mu… what the hell are you on about. I went to my mates house last night, fired up CoD4 over Live… second map we played was Creek and it was followed up by Chinatown.

yo kid. i am certainly old enough to buy the game. i bought the game. i bought the maps. i like the game i like the maps. i am just SICK AS FUCK of all the other maps. i don’t want to play them anymore. i have played the fucking fuck out of them. i just want to play the new maps. i DO NOT WANT TO PLAY THE OLD MAPS ANYMORE. i just do not understand why we are not given a choice. and i f i had the new maps, and did NOT want to play them, i would have to DELETE them from my hd in order to do that. i am just wondering why the playlist was removed. i am not trying to start a flame war here. i just LIKED those playlists, and i probably won’t be playing the new maps much now, because i am just too fucking tired of the old maps. that is why i bought the new ones. so, flame on, you little flamer, but i just don’t understand why they took out the new playlist. and, like i said in my earlier post, i guess i am going to have to start paying closer attention to the description of the shit on the rack in the old marketplace.

and fool, that is not the point. whether you were lucky enough to get into a couple new maps early has no impact on the fact that you can no longer make the decision to play these maps. and besides, like i said, what if someone wanted to play the old maps. cod4 has had a distinctive lack of choice in the matchmaking from the beginning, and have received quite a bit of flack about it. i just don’t understand why, after alleviating that a little bit, they have immediately removed the aforementioned alleviation. and fool, get used to playing creek. for some reason, it seems to come up a LOT.

Typical, charge Europe more for DLC but restrict any potential fun stuff to the US & Canada :-(

Lol too bad UK.

Comment by zennegen on 2008-04-13 18:53:39 | Reply

personally, the only new map i like is creek. chinatown is horrible, in my opinion, and the other one which i cant think of the name right now, i havent played the map enough to judge if i like it or not. but yeah, i wish we did have more of a say in what maps we play, the veto system just isnt enough.

i agree with mu.
