YAY !!!! - Call of Duty 4 360 patch submitted to MS

[Hodge20001]

Great news fellas, lets just hope Microshaft pull their fingers out


The new feature COD 4 patch (which includes new Kill Cams, Host Migration, and other new features) for Xbox 360 is complete and has officially been sent off to Microsoft for Certification. So all that's left is for Microsoft to put it through the certification paces and make it available for download.

Great News! The new feature patch I talked about last week (with new Kill Cams, Host Migration, and other new features) for the Xbox 360 has finished it’s internal testing and development and has officially been sent off to Microsoft for Certification. It’s only a matter of Microsoft putting it through the certification paces and it will be available for download for all Xbox 360 players.

If you forgot, keep reading to re-cap on all the new features this patch brings to players.

As for the Playstation 3 version of this patch, it’s currently finishing up it’s final internal testing (which I’m expecting to go very quickly) and should be heading off to Sony for it’s own certification in the near future, I’ll post that and full details on what that includes when that time comes.

New Kill CamsWe’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!” grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it over the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny window, where you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow behind RPGs and M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow the bomb from the plane until it hits you.

Host Migration:

Now you won’t have to be dropped back by yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will stay together, a new host will be assigned, and the game will auto-start back up. Keeping everyone together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games because some host leaves. This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.

Improved Sniper / ACOG Accuracy:

Sniper and ACOG scopes have been tweaked and are really improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a horrible sniper), but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still having the same difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!” moments.

Upgraded Spectator Cam:

Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow them in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching.

Quick Mute Option

Users will now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the scoreboard in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and hitting the mute assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating an airstike. So no longer getting killed while trying to make your way through the Xbox blades for the mute option so you can shut up the guy who always seems to find it funny to sing into his mic or cover up for his lack of skill by telling you how to play Domination his way.

So are they going to fix the i have a party and want to play a game but half the payers drop out each time i start searching thing?
And release the xmas map that they did for the pc version with this?

Also i think they should be making snipers worse cos i fuckin hate sniping cunts.

[Hodge20001]

There was a xmas map? what.....

Edit :: so they did http://www.gametrailers.com/player/u...es/149340.html

Also the kill cam stuff should be funny haha

Shame they aren't any plans for split screen.

Its a bit shit when a m8 comes round and you have to let them have a go and you watch.

I need to shoot people as well you know.

take turns after dying works surprisingly well. Though a rhythm is hard to keep

[willp2003]

they sound like great additions - it's the sniper shots that don't hit you but still kill that get on my nerves.

hopefully shortly followed by new maps

[inspectercoley]

You can do split screen locally tho can't you?

Thank fuck they are fixing the sniper rifles, i knew i it wasnt just me having bloodly grief with these guns and the quick mute option in menu is gonna be a blessing.

[russbeer]

wish they had sorted out the auto aim thing too.

An option to ban helicopters/airstrikes in online game options would have been nice as well

[chippy]

the "mute" thingy will be good also.................too many cock ends on there spouting crap

[Goldberg]

I just want some more maps! Plus I would really love a Mute button on my Wireless headset!

The game is getting close to been traded in with Rainbow 6 Two around the corner..........

I can't ever imagine trading this game in.

All sound good additions. Easily the best game out there on live. looking forward to downloadable content too just to add to the fun. Been playing sabotage lately and that has freshened things up for me lately!
