Call of Duty 4 Map Pack Dated and Priced; Details on COD4: GOY Edition
Just got a holla back from our good buddies at Activision that the Call of Duty 4 map pack will cost 800 points and be ready for download on April 3. You will get all 4 new maps which look to really add some more diverse gameplay to an already stellar game.
If you have not bought COD4 yet, just wait a few more weeks. They will be releasing COD4: Game of the Year Edition on April 1. This will include the full game and a FREE token code to download the map pack. The game will be the $59.99 MSRP with the map pack at no cost. Not bad. For full details, click here.
You know what would be cool? If Loot Ninja were to giveaway a Xbox360 AND a PS3 copy of Call of Duty 4? Is that something you would be interested in? Stay tuned.
[EIC Update] Just heard from Activision. The Variety Map Pack will be EXCLUSIVE to the Xbox 360 for the first 21 days of release. Sorry, PS3 owners

Matt BanksPosted March 20, 2008 at 1:16 pm | Permalink 1I played a bunch of Call of Duty 4 last week. I initially skipped the game because it was so fast paced. Thought it would give me motion sickness. But I played for 2 hours without any problems. Might have to pick this one up with the GoTY edition so I don’t have to pay for the maps.

Midway's popular sci-fi shooter will finally arrive on Microsoft's console in a few months with split-screen play, three new maps, two revamped maps, and three new characters.

Fifteen months ago, Midway Games announced its competitive shooter Unreal Tournament III would be headed to the Xbox 360. The news came as a bit of a shock, as the game had previously been touted as a possible PlayStation 3 launch title and was the console's answer to Gears of War, Epic's wildly popular 360 shooter. (Both games are also available for the PC.)
Later that year at the E3 Media & Business Summit, some ruffled feathers at Sony were smoothed by the news that UTIII would have timed PS3 exclusivity on consoles, with the 360 version not arriving until sometime in 2008.
For the next nine months, the 360 UTIII hung in limbo as its PS3 iteration narrowly made its fourth quarter 2007 release target. Today, though, Midway and Epic announced that owners of Microsoft's console would finally get their hands on the highly rated action game "this summer."
Though far from a definite lockdown date, the announcement means the game will most likely arrive between late June and early September. The Xbox 360 version offers everything released for the PC and PS3 editions, including all updates and patches, plus the split-screen play, three entirely new maps, two revamped maps, and three brand-new player characters.
For more information on Unreal Tournament III on consoles, check out GameSpot's brand-new preview of the 360 version or the full review of the PS3 edition.

Maybe if someone could figure out a way to hack the 360 so that you could use mods for UT3, then maybe I'd buy it for my 360, but of course that's probably not gonna happin so...I don't think i'll waste my money.

VirtuaCast - I was an original xbox fan as well as any other system you can think of back in the day... yes, mech assault and unreal were GREAT games..... i think U R WRONG THOUGH. UNREAL MEANS MORE to PC gamers than anyone else... that said, I still wouldn't buy the game for my PC, PS3 or my 360.
PC solidified this game

I think that when UTIII comes people are going to be hooked with Bad Company and waiting for GOW2 so it wont sell that good. It is too late, old news. I doubt that I'll buy it.

To little too late, might have cared if they'd have given it us at the same time as the PS3 but i wont be forking out £40 for a PS3 cast off. Roll on Bad company please and lets leave the Unreal for the PS3.

One of the first Xbox live enable games was Mech Assualt and Unreal, you guys have no clue what the series means to xbox fans. Who cares if 360 fans are happy and they sure in the hell don't have to explain them selfs. PS3 fans were stoked about Unreal, but 360 fans can't be? oh pls shut up.

yep, if you have a PS3 or PC and you've played this, you already know it's not going to be anything special on 360 either. save your money, there are better games on the way for ALL our great systems. Personally, I'm just waiting for MGS4 and NinjaG2, c'mon June/July.... I'm ready for some hardcore!!

The map packs are free on PS3 so it really doesnt matter. I dont know why 360 fans are happy though. They got a better thing or if lucky things to look forward to. As a owner of all 3 consoles, I am going to say that Gears of War 2 is going to be the best Xbox 360 game of the year although I do not really care for it. If Killzone fails to take the spotlight, then I think Resistance 2 will be the big game of 2008. The Wii pretty much has nothing left after Mario Kart. All of their cards have been used up. It sounds like a bad strategy but it is actually good for them because the gamecube failed to sell because its lack of good games and the good games were spaced too far apart. Other than gears of war 2, microsoft has halo wars, which probably wont sell so much because there are not that many RTS fans as there
