Call of Duty 4 Xbox 360 Update is Live

What are you reading this for, put the game in an update already! Seriously some pretty nice fixes/patches/additions going on, here is the post from FourZeroTwo:

New Kill Cams – Everything that can kill you has a Kill Cam now. Grenades, Airstrikes, Claymores, C4, M203 Rounds, RPGs, anything. So jump online, get owned alittle and check them out. They’re awesome, especially Grenades and M203 shots that go across the map and through a window.

Host Migration – Host migration was added, so now when the host leaves you won’t get dropped back to your own lobby by yourself. Everyone will stay together. Host Leaves, everyone returns to lobby, selects next best host, and the game starts up again. No more re-inviting, re-partying up because a host ended the game.

Improved Sniper Accuracy – The Sniper rifle accuracy has been improved. No more, WTF? shots now. Your cross hair will be a better representation of where your shot will ultimately land. Try out a sniper class today, let us know how the new accuracy feels.

Improved ACOG Scope Accuracy – ACOG scopes accuracy on any weapon has been improved. Test it out, throw it on one of your classes and give it a go.

Upgraded Spectator Cam – Now when you’re a spectator you have the option to follow in 3rd person or 1st person. As well as rotate 360 degrees around the player you’re watching. Next time you’re dead in Search and Destroy and just watching your team mates do stuff you know you can do better, now do it in 1st person or rotate around them.

Quick Mute Option – Now you can easily and quickly mute players in-game or in-lobby without ever going through the Xbox Live blades. Just go to their gamertag on screen and hit ‘A’ to quick mute in lobby, or via the in-game scoreboard if playing. Quick. Easy. Salvation!

In addition to these feature additions there will also be:

Improved Network Performance For Larger Games – 18 player games now require more bandwidth to host, resulting in smoother performance for players.

Optimized Server Selection for First Match – Server selection is now optimized to select best bandwidth servers associated by LSP.

Fixed “Playlist Older Than Host” Error – Player will no longer get this error when entering games.

Additional Start Spawn Locations in All Maps – Added a minimum of 9 extra start spawns on each side of all maps.

The grenade cam is.. .AWESOME. So far I haven’t noticed any bumps as far as lag or finding matches, so lets hope that is the improved network performance kicked in. Lastly, something I noticed after playing my first updated match, well, I didn’t really finish the match because the host dropped out… but.. I wasn’t kicked out into a lobby by myself, I was put back in the lobby with the rest of the players (sans host of course)…good job Infinity Ward. Simple things like this will ensure people will be enjoying Call of Duty 4 action for quite some time.

    Hearing that they fixed the ACOG scope up kinda makes me want to go back to CoD4 now. Not that that’s what made me drop it in the first place, but I was quite disappointed by its accuracy quirks.

    Although I heard it worked well with most SMGs.

    I played a bit today….noticed a few of the updates…but the host migration is by far the best I’ve seen…

  5. johnny says:

    iv heard rumors that there is a new update for COD4 which has new weapons including a pistol, a sniper, a shotgun and 2 assultrifles is this true ????????

  6. Snack says:

    yea dude, i heard about 5 new prestige levels and up to 75lv instead of 55lv,
    also a suppressed sniper? and additional weapons.

    i think all of that would be sick nasty,
    they should totally do it. no doubt.

  7. Doug aka XxBig D FreshxX says:

    Now all they need is some more prestige icons… ;)

    you all suck at cod4 my gamertag is FeaR Moho im a 55 tenth pre and i have over 300,000 kills im 5th in the world and no one can take that from me and thats why you all suck

  13. Andy says:

    Just wondering, did they have an update that slowed down the shooting speed of all semi-automatic weapons? I’m clicking really fast, but the game is only registering about half of what I’m clicking..

  14. justin says:

    yeah they had to of because you cant just slap the right trigger really fast with your middle finger and shoot pistols and g3s faster. it sucks it ruined the game but i guess there trying to make it for mods but it should affect people who can actually shoot fast
