Oooh, that was harsh. I just don't see the point in realeasing content for a game pretty much immediately after it's release. Why would you put new maps into development before a game is even out? Wouldn't you want a little input from the people who are playing the game before you make a map? That way, you would know what the players want in a map. Do they want a huge snipe-fest like Bloc (? the one with the two buildings across from each other), or do they want a huge rape-pit like Shipment (for example, kill everyone with an airstrike). But hey, to each his own, right?

I'm with nameless on this one. There are still TONS of people still playing this one. It's STILL the most played game online right now. I don't know what will happen when RB6V2 comes out... I prob wont even be getting it because it looks like COD4 is still better.

Its a money thing and it is trying to get people to continue playing for longer. New maps aren't about what we want the most, its so that we keep playing which is what the makers want the most. If the DLC maps came out a month after the game was released then why not just have them included in the game?

Also they used player feedback to come up with the maps. I think they said people wanted another really open one (prob creek) and another close quarters one (tv one) and something completely different (chinatown/killhouse?)

creek looks really good BUT camping and sniping will control the game play . broadcast no comment I'm a little disappointed from what I've seen so far from the 3 screen shots. where is a snow map give me a map like blizzard.

creek seems like it will be played just like overgrown or pipeline... which I'm fine with.

There weren't any snow maps on campaign so it's prob hard to make a multi player level based on completely new elements and textures. Socom (2/1??) had a snow map.

Sorry, I had just watched the latest Zero Punctuation video and those usually get me worked up. Plus, saying it excludes you, I was referring to new content not being a big point for you.

When a game is as good as this one, I play it a lot. The sheer fact that so many people play the game is even more cause for more content on a regular interval. If COD4 got new maps on a fairly regular basis, it would be played for a long time by a lot of people.

Also, consider Mass Effect, which was one of the best games of last year. That came out before COD4 and is only now getting DLC. It's a wasted opportunity for both us and the developers.

Any developer worth their pay would know all of these things before needing community feedback because they basically cover all the bases in terms of playing style (sniping, run & gun, etc).

what is the overall fascination with snow maps?? every shooter that's come out since socom2 has had alot of fans clamoring for a snow map for some odd reason? is it the fact that enemies are easier to see on a predominantly white background or what? i don't get it.

for the other poster that mentioned cod4 being primarily a non-snow type setting, check out videos on youtube for the pc version and the christmas conversion of the crash map.

I posted about these maps (3 of the 4 anyway) last night in the other COD4 map thread but the maps actually had different names. Of course they were just rumours at the time though.

The TV station one looks pretty good, I think we will see a horrific overuse of claymore and C4 though.

The first screenshot I saw of Creek tells me it will be a snipe fest and some easy airstrike kills will come into play, but I think it will be skipped too much to get noticed.

Kill house just sounds weird. If the map is based on the training venue you play in the game, I wont be playing it. Wasn't the training map on R6V called Killhouse also?

Finally, the Chinatown one I haven't seen so can't really comment. I just hope it's not like District.

Overall I want to get these new maps but I will be pissed if I pay for them only to see them getting skipped in the playlist. I think the best map out of them all will be Broadcast although Creek will provide for a good Ground War.
