Can e get some individual impressions of the maps? I want to be sure before I hand over the AUS$10's or so.

From screenshots, the maps look pretty fucking good?

The maps, overall, are great for objective oriented modes such as Domination, Ground War, Headquarters etc due to how large the maps are. On the other hand, due to how large the maps are, modes such as TDM where it's 6v6 or less can be rather... boring because everyone is constantly running around trying to find each other or can be frustrating because of how easy it is to camp.

Best thing about the MP maps for me is the fact that there are no Tanks in site.

As for the Zombie map, it's a pretty good map though it seems you can easily bunker down early in the map, after reaching the power room, and mow down zombies at will.

Overall, it's a very solid map pack. Whether or not it's worth dropping $10 on will depend on what type of modes you play. If you're into objective based modes or large battles, get the map pack for sure. If you're mainly into just TDM, it's a bit difficult for me to recommend dropping $10.

I havent played the game in a long time....figured fuck it and bought the maps...very impressed...with the maps and the patch...spawning was better and the maps are designed well. I will be playing this more now.

 

[kuYuri]

Did the patch really fix the spawns? I still get stupid spawns often.

[ClivePwned]

the map pack is pretty good. I jumped onto the playlist with just the new maps and people were already voting against maps WTF? you just bought the fucking things. I ended up playing the subway level three times and once each for the others. all in all- pretty good so far.

 

[DoomGyver]

I only need the "blue ribbon trophy - win 1 competitive co-op match against 3 other people.

People keep dropping out. Any gaffers want to do this together?

I want my platinum

Anybody?

Yeah, I get a lot of people voting against the subway level. Dunno why, that one is pretty awesome. I find it the most different out of the set and really changes the way you have to play. Maybe they hate the fact that artillery strikes are almost completely useless on that map and can't use it to combo into dogs (I have yet to see dogs on that one).

Overall, I'd say the 3 maps are excellent and well worth the $10. Still haven't tried the zombie map yet though. Anyone on PS3 looking for zombie players?

I haven't tried zombies yet, the new map was free with the update right?

I'm dang good at shooters, if you want to do it throw me a friend request.

PS3 here. PSN tag = Haleon. Love me some zombies.

 

[Relix]

The maps ARE worth the $10. Knee Deep might just be one of my favorite COD maps ever. Subway is fun and Nightfire is great for Headquarters and S&D stuff.

Haven't played Zombies yet though.

Also, props to Treyarch for actually fixing the glitches and problems.

The free map was just a daytime version of one of the old normal maps, Makin. The 2nd zombie map comes with the new $10 map pack.

Cool, adding you next time my PS3 is on. I play RE5 most of the time, but if you want to go Nazi zombie hunting, just send me a message.

 

[kuYuri]

Yes it is, but it still feels like I get crap spawns, despite them supposedly being fixed. I don't know, maybe I'm just unlucky.

But I still love the game despite it's problems, and at least alot of problems I have with it got fixed.

I haven't noticed any difference in the spawns to be honest.

 

[Mogg0]

Something I've noticed: if you skip one of the new maps, its guaranteed the next map chosen will be ANOTHER new map. Majority of people don't have the new maps, so the room gets torn apart and you get kicked.

They haven't implemented the system from COD4 where the new maps were only used when everyone had the pack.

Seems like a pretty conniving way to get a few people to buy maps.

I had an issue last night when I tried to play some MP with a GAFfer, I have the map pack and he doesn't, and of course when he joined my lobby it said that he didn't have the maps so they were disabled. Then I searched Team Deathmatch in the Core playlist and no matter what a DLC map would come up every time and he'd just get booted out and I'd get thrown into the match by myself. I guess either it was just some little quirk at the time or whatever but we never were able to get into a game together.

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

can someone tell me how to actually best the subway level in the sp? the level doesn't end.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

So I just watched a youtube video of the end of SP Eviction. When I get to the end of the level I am stuck. The enemies keep coming out no matter how many I kill. Eventually, I just run out of ammo. Its like a glitch or something. Am I doing something wrong?

It's happened to a party of us too. I didn't have the map pack and I would sometimes get into random lobbies that use the new maps but then get kicked at the end of the countdown. It's gotta be a glitch, I think Treyarch needs to fix it so that matchmaking correctly sees that someone in the party doesn't have the map pack and doesn't bring up those maps.

Is it the part where they are trying to get the door open at the end and you have to defend against a group of enemies?

iirc you need to progress and not turtle.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

Its at the very end of the subway. You jump in the water and you are physically blocked from moving forward. Waves of Nazi's come out of a door on the left and fire on you. I see on the video the level should end after firing at a few of them but mine doesnt end. I can kill a hundred of them, the game just sits there.

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4z36QxAeyc I am stuck at like the 12 minute mark. The water never comes no matter how many I kill.

I don't think it's about how many you kill, but rather just waiting a certain amount of time until the wave of water is triggered, although I might be wrong on that.

Does this happen everytime you play the level or do you have the checkpoint right before this part and you just continue from that checkpoint? Are you also playing on Veteran? You might consider restarting the level from beginning, as it's possible it glitched. If you are playing it on veteran, I know how frustrating it must be to restart from beginning after getting so far. =/

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

Nope not veteran, there is a physical blockade that you cant jump over. I have restarted the 360, I have killed like 40 of them.

 

[kuYuri]

You don't have to restart the 360, just pause the game and pick "restart level." Then go through the level again and see if it happens again.

EDIT: I just replayed the level myself, at the end, I didn't even shoot anyone, just let the rest of the squad shoot the enemies behind the barricade and the wave of water still came, which means it's a timed thing and not something you have to kill a certain number of enemies to activate.

Chances are it just glitched on you this once, so just restart the whole level and hopefully it won't happen the next time.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

You guys were right. For 3 days I have been trying to beat that fuckin level. I restarted the level and it went just fine. Thanks!

Map Pack 1 out for PC for free with patch 1.4, which has the same fixes as the last console version patch.

 

[CitizenCope]

More Zombies anyone?
Oh and 3 new maps.

http://www.callofduty.com/intel/217

 

[kuYuri]

That new Nazi Zombie map sounds awesome.

 

[CitizenCope]

I still enjoy the first map the most. The last dlc zombie map gets a little too hectic for my tastes.

I found some info of Map Pack 2 on Gamespy. Includes a video of one of the new maps, Corrosion.

I am in love with this game on PC.

I get totally sucked in and lose so many hours to it. I love the constant intensity of the surrounding environment. This is definitely one of my favourite fps of this gen. Do many gaffers still play?

I recently also switched from the 360 version to the PC version and I'm having a blast playing that version.

Any differences graphically between the two?

I'm totally addicted to the 360 version and I dunno, for some reason I enjoy this game more that MW. I just can't seem to warm up to the levels in MW. Perhaps it's because I started playing W@W first but still, I feel more at home with the levels in W@W(even the large ones).

Well, if you have a powerful PC, you will certainly see a difference in textures, but I switched to PC for KB/M controls, plus when my Live expires, I'm not planning on renewing.

 

[Brian Fellows]

New levels looks pretty cool. Especially corrosion IMO.

I personally dont need any new tank levels.

That’s right – Map Pack 2 will be releasing June 11th on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. You can get it for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 in the PlaystationStore, respectively.

Gametrailers has also just revealed the coveted Shi No Numa trailer everyone’s been buzzing over; so be sure to check it out!

There will also be some free Map Pack 2 redeem codes handed out via Twitter this week– follow http://twitter.com/jd_2020 for your chance to win!

Check the trailer for Shi No Numa (Japanese zombies!) zombie map here:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/51310.html


Also, a new patch/title update will be available:

This list applies to both platforms:

* Significantly streamlined MP matchmaking.
* Increased the number of safety checks in the MP spawn system to prevent players from spawning within the line of sight of an enemy.
* Implemented a new stats backup system – this system creates a regular backup snapshot of player stats; if the game detects data corruption, instead of attempting to reset the player to level 1, it will notify the player that their stats have been restored to the most recent backup.
* Addressed a rare occurrence referred to as the “dummy glitch” in MP, where players would appear to be prone in 3rd person but would have a standing view in 1st person.
* Patched several possible MP map exploits.
* Improved dog spawning in MP.
* Improved AI path-finding in Nazi Zombies to prevent potential exploits.

There are several additional minor improvements included with today’s update, but this list includes the most significant items.

[mattso]

anyone else get the map pack? I'm really digging the new levels. I'm a big fan of war and it's a real blast on corrosion and banzai. Haven't got to play it on the sub level yet.

I'm looking forward to playing the new zombie level tonight

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I wasn't really feeling Map Pack 1 but these levels look pretty sweet.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I really hate it when I'm using a tank and I pop up to the turret for a second to finish off someone I stunned with the main gun and one of my dickhead teammates gets in and steals my tank. I then make it my mission to blow their ass up.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

After a discussion about this game yesterday, I signed on last night to give it another chance or new look. One thing that I noticed and needed to ask about here is why was it trying to load maps I don't have? Is this a bug? I've never played a game that tried to load maps I didn't have.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I really wish you could do Zombie mode offline with more than two people.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Dear Treyarch,

Please make the Toss Back perk available on one of the offline MP classes. Me and my friends were about to enjoy a rousing game of Death Wallball but our game ended before it began.

 

[vicissitudes]

Thinking about getting this game for the Zombies mode...can I play offline with 4 players split-screen with 2 PS3's using LAN somehow?

Nope, only one player per console if you do system link.

 

[vicissitudes]

Are you serious......LAME.....oh well I just ordered it anyway.

Are there any other games like zombies but with 4 player split-screen? (never understood why L4D didn't have 4 player split-screen either)

 

[Maverick]

Playing zombies high is too. much. fun.

Woo lord :lol

 

[LM4sure]

hey, this thread got bumped!!


anyone interested in splitting the cost for the map packs? I don't have either of them, but I think $10 is too much to spend
