So the highly anticipated Call of Duty 4 multi player map pack came out a few days ago. There are 4 new maps in total and the pack cost 800 Microsoft Points. This is about $12.80 (1/5th of the total game cost). A lot of people thought this was rather pricey, but there are only 16 multi player maps that come with Call of Duty 4, so the new map pack adds 1/4 more maps for 1/5 of the price of the game, which isn't unreasonable. Of course new free content would be fantastic, but we don't get to see much of that do we?
New Maps:
Killhouse:
This Map was made by a fan. It is rather small, and would be best for small teams or free for all. There is a sniper tower that you will want to steer clear from (the bottom is wood and there is not much cover) and almost all the cover in the map is wood, which does add an interesting twist.
Creek:
This level would be excellent for snipers! There are lots of buildings to hide in and lots of open ground for people to get caught in. It looks like it is made from the level Heat, Sins of the Father, or Hunted, but I couldn't remember which. It is my favorite of the new maps and looks amazing.
Broadcast:
This map is large. It has two buildings outside the station to snipe from, but overall there is mostly close combat spaces. It is from the level Charlie Don't Surf.
China Town:
This is a remake of Carantan from Call of Duty 2 which they have modernized. It presents a good mix of close quarter and long range fighting, but good snipping spots seem limited. Also, there are a lot of watermelons to shoot!
If you are a big fan of Call of Duty 4 and play a lot, I would definitely recommend getting these new maps! If you haven't purchased the game yet however, I heard there is a Collectors Edition of some kind that will include the new maps, so you should buy that copy rather than the original!
