Games: Call of Duty 4 Map Pack Expansion for PS3. Hexfix93’s take.

April 27th, 2008 by Hexfix93


The above map is the TV station map that comes with the new Call Of Duty 4 Map pack that you can download via the newly redesigned Playstation Network. It will set you back about 10 US dollars. Is it worth it? HELL YES. This games is already near perfect. Simply the best first person shooter controls on any console. I play this more than any game I own. I don’t think anything will beat this game out in the fun factor, rpg elements, and ease of use and perfect game mechanics. My only gripe still is that the games end if the host quits. They really need to fix this and transfer the game to another player with out the game dying. So the above map is great. The tv station is huge, lots of cool rooms and places to snipe. You can get on the roof and there are some buildings across the parking lot that are great for sniping as well. This is a really nice addition.

The above map is Creek. This is breathtakingly pretty, especially the water fall and the creek bed area of the map. This is cool as well, up top the ridge of the ravine there is like a mountain path on one side, and on the other there are houses and a burb like area. Very well designed. This is sniper heaven. This is a game of try to run from sniper fire in al most all cases. Game modes like sabotage and search and destroy really are a bitch to do on this map, and poses a real challenge.

Above is a picture of the Killhouse map, which usually only shows up in private matches and cage matches. They added cage match which is a 1 on 1 battle, and I simply own all 1 on 1 usually so I absolutely love this map. The VAC klan usually has private matched where we play the shipment map that is small. This map is small like shipment but a tad bigger. Perfect for big private matches of free for all and 1 on 1 cage matches. Nice to have another map like shipment. I like the small maps best for private matches. A very welcome edition. They also added some new game modes to select from: Variety Pack Team Death Match(new maps team death match), Variety Team Objective(new maps like team tactical with more players), Variety Hardcore, Mercenary Team Death Match, Hardcore Team Death Match, Hardcore Search and Destroy, Old School Free For All. So a lot of new modes to play online!

Above is China Town. This map is pretty cool, Looks nice, but it is confusing because a lot of it looks the same and it’s hard to figure out where you are on the map at first. I eventually got used to it, but it honestly took me the longest to adjust to. I would say this is my least favorite of all the maps but do not think for a second that it is not worth it. It really is a great edition and adds a welcome variance to the cod4 maps. These maps do nothing to the single play part of the game, they are for online multiplayer. So if you do not play this game online then do not bother buying this map pack. But if you play this online like I do(I’m addicted to this hardcore, almost as bad as the smoking addiction I had in my 20s) this is worth every single cent you pay. I highly recommend this. I have raised COD4 with this map pack to an over all score of 9.9. I’m sorry, but no other game on the ps3 has held my attention like cod4. In fact this may turn out to be my favorite game of all time after playing it hard core since it’s release. BUY THIS!

    i dont think ive played the Killhouse map, ive yet to get it in matchmaking online. but i havent played the new maps much yet either. i like the TV station map, i liked the part of the single player when you went through that level. Creek is cool, but reminds me of a couple of the maps already available, but it does have that large rock drop off that makes it cool. chinatown is fun, i like playing in the city at night. its a good sniping map i think. its also a redesign of an old map from call of duty 2.

    oh and i forgot to say, comparing cod4 to your smoking addiction? damn, so if you smoked like 4 packs a day back then, then that would mean you play cod4 for about 4 hours a day then? =p

    but its a great online shooter, so i dont blame you, and its much funner to play it for longer periods of time when you have people online to play with.

    Im really loving the new map pack update. The broadcast is really fun to play and so is the creak map. i havnt had the chance to play the killhouse yet, but i really like the shipment one. Playing in such a small area makes for some pretty intense gaming. Im also liking that we had the double points over the weekend. Nice! And your right, this game is addicting!

    Sweet, I’ll be buying these maps soon…

    Heh that is of course if I ever stop playing Half Life 2 and all the crap that comes in The Orange Box. I agree though, COD 4 is addictive as crack. I kind of took a break after I hit level 55.
