We’re running up to the 1 year anniversary of Call of Duty 4, yet I think many aspects of the game “got some splainin’ to do!”

1. What are the Prestige Rankings?  Are there really ‘no’ benefits?

Let me briefly explain what the ‘Prestige Rankings’ mean.  Once you’ve gathered up enough points to reach level 55, you are prompted with a choice to ‘Prestige Mode’.  At this point you can submit and begin at level 1, or stay at level 55 and not rank up for a total of 10 times.  If you’ve entered ‘Prestige Mode’ you lose all your weapons and realize how much of a mistake it was.  Too late, no turning back,   I guess you’re only benefit are the icons.  Some clans require you to have a minimum Prestige Mode, before you can officially be ‘clan’d in’.  All 10 Prestige Icons from left to right.

2. Host Ended Game.

Ok, this aspect of the game has still “NOT” been fixed.  When you join an online game, most times you are joining a game that another online player is the host of.  When that player leaves the game, the room will close and you will get the message “Host Ended Game”.  If you’d like to avoid this and control you own playing time, join a game where you are the first and only player.  You will have to wait for other’s to join your room, but now you’re the host!

Coming this weekend, Call of Duty 4 will be in ‘Double XP’ mode.  Starting Sept. 18th you can pick up the Variety Map Packs for $4.99.

Ladies and Gentlemen, lend me your screens! Coming this weekend ‘exclusively’ on the PlayStation 3… COD4’s ‘Double XP’ Weekend! Just like last week’s ‘Double XP’ weekend for the X360, you’ll get a chance to play with some of the developers.

I’ll be partying up with a few of the IW crew on Friday from Noon - 4 pm (PT) to take advantage of the double XP. Be sure to add the following PSN IDs to your friends list or send us invites if you see us online:

For the simple yet perplexed Microsoft point system, the Variety Map packs will be 50% off for 400 Points.

Call of Duty 4 in my opinion is ‘Top 5 FPS’ game to date, so when I hear those 3 words “Double XP Weekend”, there’s no reason to pop in the disc and rank up. But this week, X60 fans are getting their dosage of Double XP a week before the PS3 folks.  Call of Duty 4’s new maps will also be on sale though XBox Live for 400 Microsoft points. That’s not all, InfinityWard has been able to work it out to get the Prestige Gamer pic pack back on the marketplace for download for all those who missed out on it’s limited offering during our last LIVE fire weekend.
Members of Infinity Ward will also be online between Noon to 4pm PDT (3pm to 7pm EDT) on Saturday, September 13 to play with fans. While online, players should be sure to add the following Infinity Ward gamertags to their friends list:

Fourzerotwo
COD4artistWill
COD4qaEd
COD4qaJustin

Note: PS3 COD4 fans will get their “Double XP Weekend” next week Sept 19th

Four new Call of Duty 4 Playlists in testing, coming soon.  Playlists include: Bare-bones Team Deathmatch, Hardcore HQ, Multi-bomb Search and Destroy and Hardcore FFA

IAMfourzerotwo has released word that they’re working on new COD4 Playlists.  You know, the current playlists include Team Deathmatch, Free-for-all and Headquarters to name a few.  Right now there’s talk of 4 new Playlists, check them out below and a brief descrition of what to expect in them.

Bare-bones Team Deathmatch

No more excuses. No more blaming Martyrdom or Juggernaut for your lack of skills and kills. Bare Bones Team Deathmatch eliminates the excuses and takes it back to basics with standard Team Deathmatch with no perks, no kill streak rewards. Just you, your skill, and your weapons.

Hardcore HQ

Hardcore HQ requires a lot more than just spamming the HQ position with nades and running in guns blazing. Hardcore HQ encourages more tactical gameplay and communication to win with increased damage, no HUD elements, and friendly fire on.

Multi-bomb Search and Destroy

Multi-bomb Search and Destroy starts every member of the attacking team with a bomb. So everyone has the opportunity to plant if they’re good enough.

Hardcore FFA

Even faster paced Free For Alls, where every bullet counts and playing smart is key for a solid k/d ratio. Standard Free for All rules, with Hardcore mode enabled for extra damage, no HUD, and no health re-gen.

After a long week of waiting for the full length trailer to be released, Infinity Ward Treyarch and Activision did not disappoint. World at War is rumored to be set back in the World War II era. Although this would not be a bad idea, it is a huge let down. WW2 games are the highest among FPS. But what COD5 does bring to the table is another great multiplayer. Let’s just hope the single player has more to offer because that’s COD4’s only black spot.

For a nominal price of $9.99 you can pick up your self 999 penny gums, with the Chinese fortune in it or 4 Call of Duty 4 maps. So after I spent $20, here I am with all this gum playing the new maps. Oh Yeah with Double XP Weekend!!!

Off the bat, Broadcast is my odds on favorite. It’s a map that is based on a news broadcast station, with the lights and cameras. Cubicles included too. Creek is a big sniper wielding map. If your looking for close quater combat this is not the map to do it in. Chinatown is the 2nd best map overall. You can hide out in buildings and the side streets have colorful Asian lights. Last but not least is Killzone. Think of it, Shipment but bigger! I also like to use the posters as my decoy, you’ll know what I mean when you play it.

The 4 NEW Maps are:

- Creek

- Broadcast

- Killhouse

- Chinatown

I just caught a great article posted on Gaming Today for the new COD4 maps available for the US via DLC on April 24th. For our Eurpean viewers, you guys will have to wait one week more, May 1st, to experience the awesomeness. With the release of the new map packs be sure to expect some server issues as everyone who owns a PS3 will be trying to play on the new maps. Problem is they are on a shuffle schedule, and I can never tell which map is coming up next. Annoying.

In addition to the new maps being released, Infinity Ward Developers will be showcasing their talents on April 25th. You can catch them online from 8pm EDT to 11pm EDT. Oh boy, would I Like to get those Dev’s in “Shipment” and melee them with knives (to thank them of course for THE Best FPS)

“To celebrate the release of both map packs we will be hosting a Double XP weekend for North America from 12:01 AM PDT on Friday, April 25 to 11:59 PM PDT on Sunday, April 27. North American players will be able to play the new maps against members of the Infinity Ward team on Friday, April 25 from 5 PM to 8 PM PDT.

We’ll also be hosting another special Double XP and Play With Devs event for our worldwide / European users specifically. For our European fans, we will have a Double XP weekend beginning at 12:01 AM GMT on Friday, May 2 and concluding at 11:59 PM GMT on Sunday, May 4. You will also get a chance to play the new maps against the IW team on Friday, May 2 from 7 PM GMT to 10 PM GMT. That way you guys aren’t left out due to conflicting time zones!”
