Ok guys, you know you been waiting for it, some official details on the New Maps that will be coming out for "Call of Duty 4".
360-Hq.Com only just recently reported on the rumoured COD4 maps which are to be released shortly and it looks like we got some of the info right. lol
The exact release date is still not known but I can give you an idea what to look forward to.
First... We can look forward to not 3 maps but 4. And yes, If you play on a console you will have to pay for them, IW has not decided yet how they will release for PC as PC users are use to getting maps for free, So if you are a PC user you may luck out.
The 4 maps will be....BROADCAST, CREEK (pictured above), KILL HOUSE, and CHINATOWN.
Broadcast is carried over from the single mission game but is said to be expanded and modified, It is mostly indoors with 2 floors, but you can also access the roof and parking lot which has been expanded to include another small building. Broadcast will be the only map carried forward, the 3 remaining maps will be completely new and said to be totaly non middle east, non russian locals.
Creek is said to be a very large outdoor map with a line of buildings/houses on one side. A deep rocky creek that circles and crosses the middle of the map with alot of bush on its rim for snipers to blend in, It is also said to have a lengthy winding cave system and a waterfall.
ChinaTown, not much info given on this map except that the name says it all.
Kill House, this is said to be a bonus map and was not showen nor any further details released about it other than its name. Except for this Quote " think of the single-player campaign's initial training level as a reference", So I would assume lots of plywood and card board cutouts of bad guys.
"Bioshock" was one of the biggest games of 07 and has taken an obscene amount of awards and titles for everything from game play to sound track.
It comes as no surprise that a game of this caliber will be getting a sequel or that 2K will be trying to keep the original staff together for this game.
One of the big names that made this game such a hit is Ken Levine and when asked Strauss Zelnick said: "Ken is a terrific asset in the company, and he's a brilliant game developer. ... He will be working on Bioshock 2 and he will be working on a new IP."
"A lot of the work will be done at 2K Marin, but that's not to say Ken is not involved. He's critical to Bioshock,"
With Bioshock being such a big hit i for one am unsure of what could be done to really shake up the game this time around but lets hope the 2K team doesn't have the same problem.
EA has been well known for sports games and family friendly content but it looks like they want to try a shot at the M rated titles with "Dead Space".
The move to M rated games is a big one for EA and came out of left field but how can you make a space horror game and not include violent and graphic content and still keep it interesting, well you cant so they have pushed the limit of the M rating.
Executive producer of Dead Space Glen Schofield said “EA is always like: ‘We’re going to make T-rated games, sports games.’… The idea with this game was: ‘We are M. We’re clearly in the middle of M, if not M-plus.’”
I don't know about you guys but this is music to my ears and i cant wait to see the game in all its blood soaked glory.
Dead Space is set to release Halloween of 08 for 360, PS3 and PC.
