CoD4 Map Pack Dated; PS3 Gets Shafted Yet Again

If you’re a PS3 owner of Call of Duty 4, the shafting continues. First it was the announcement of a “Game of the Year” edition of Call of Duty 4, where no PlayStation 3 edition was announced. Binge Gamer has tried to contact Infinity Ward about a possible PS3 version of CoD4:GotY, but as of this writing we have not received any sort of replies to our emails. We’ll keep trying.

Now PS3 owners continue to get the shaft as the new Call of Duty 4 ‘Variety Map Pack’ will not be arriving on the PS3 until some three weeks after the Xbox 360 release. Now six months ago I would’ve said this was an issue with getting content approved for PSN, however after owning a PS3 for some time it’s become apparent that many developers, Infinity Ward included, have been screwing PS3 owners out of the same “perks” that Xbox 360 owners have been getting for a long time. In the case of Infinity Ward, when you consider that the initial patch was late coming to the PS3 (which didn’t fix the cross-platform problems that the patch fixed on Xbox 360), there has been no PS3 GotY announced, and now the map pack is being delayed for the PS3, it really isn’t hard to see how some PS3 owners are pretty pissed off.

Regardless, whether you own a PS3 or Xbox 360, when the map pack is released it’s going to run you $10 (800 MSPoints). You’re paying $10 for four maps.

UPDATO MAGNIFICO: Okay, so according to Amazon there will be a Call of Duty 4: Game of the Year Edition for the PS3. Of course, it’s scheduled for a release three years weeks after the Xbox 360 version of the same game. Oh, how I love equality. (NOTE: Whoops! The “years” thing was a legit typo. My bad.)

  1. $10 For four maps or wait for GTA?
    Decisions, decisions.

  2. Mike Masashi Murakami III says:

    I will be buying those 4 maps day one.

    PS3 users got shafted by having to use the sixaxis to play a first person shooter (“small womanish (or Japanese) hands”)

  3. adam wood says:

    it not far y dount they relase the new map both at the same time so it dount upset people its because the xbox is far shitter then the ps3

  4. evan gill says:

    yea xbox is far shitter, just means its easy to minipulate and get shit out faster on it, and weee dont use sixaxis at all for fps… wtf, that just be dumb.. iv never used sixaxis neways, and ill pay 10 bones for the map pack, im not a noob here i need to get my hands on those maps and rape even more noobs on them :) ……andd i hate hype box3 shitty

    • Big G says:

      Well you’re a typical PS3 owner, can’t even piece a sentence together. The PS3 is crap do develop for, takes far longer. Could be why the delay is there

      • R_07 says:

        The only reason that it longer to develop is cos it aint been out for as long as the Xbox.
        And the bit about PS3 users being illiterate, well that’s just taking it too far.
        At least PS3 owners don’t freak out and smash things when you lose online.
        Think about, Xbox 360 is just 360 degrees of shit.

      • grease says:

        The real reason why the maps are not there yet is because the PSN store is getting a complete new fresh look and they have said there will be no update on it for the next 2 week.

      • Dark-anima says:

        Omg!!! i cant belive how anyone thinks 360 is better thn ps3 xbox even released a new console to keep up with ps3. sony has always been better and always will. so shut up moaning u 360 noob

        • G-warfare says:

          Alright, ive been viewing these posts and couldn’t help but laugh..HA HA HA.. thsi goes out to the original person who wrote a comment (evan gill Apr 1st, 2008 at 5:52 pm) This guys is a clown… wtf are u saying about sixaxis.. u donk.. i can tell you are a NOOB.. and if you claim to be so great, why dont u post your gamer ID… i belive Microsoft paid for the rights to have it come out sooner than other consols.. reason is that XBOX sucks and they have to do anything they can to make it not seem that way.. G-warfare is my ID for PS3. i have a 1.43 kill to death ratio, (only cause i 40k kills) and i demand anyone who thinks thay can step up to step up.. anyone who adds me and is below a 1.00 death to kill ration will be deleted from my list.. NEW MAPS hurry the F up

          • Falkon212 says:

            LMAO at that. 1.43.. only because I have 40k kills. So you’re saying it was higher but over time you started to suck more instead of become better. I have like 32k kills right now and my K/D is 1.85. 360 FTW, n00b.

  5. Stendor says:

    Makes no since on comparing PS3 with xbox, PS3 is a superior machine, we will see in the next year. And by the way good look to xbox users using blueray movies hehehe HD was first XBOX is next. One more thing xbox users are going to keep using their little DVD disc. While PS3 users will have mores space in Blueray disk and 7 cores more to go. Definitely xbox users are amateurs, paying to play online Loossss….

  6. Stendor sucks cock says:

    Stendor, you looser. dont troll on these sites. i hate trolls like you who think theyre bad because they have a ps3. get a fucking life.

  7. IW pisses me off says:

    this is bullshit
    Im not going to start ranting & raving about PS3 or 360
    but as a fellow PS3 user,
    i am fucking sick of it
    A good way of losing customers and pissing them off
    is to delay something they have been wanting for a long time,
    a new cod4 map pack.
    If IW is a professional company, they need to be fair and release the map pack on the same fucking day
    If I actually had some rank or power in the gaming industry
    I would annoy the crap out of either sony or IW or both to start delivering and getting shit done
    Ur losing customers u stupid fucks!

  8. ohagan84 says:

    Why the hell do we ps3 users get shafted er i dunno probably because Microsoft paid 50 million to get the maps early it’s not like we play xbox fanboys anyway so chill just kill some people to calm you down and wait. ALSO WE GET MGS4 THEY DON’T WHO’S LAUGHING NOW HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    • Falkon212 says:

      Did you read that random fact in the newspaper? Or did you just decide to fabricate it in a desperate attempt to put Microsoft down in some way. I see some many things in these posts that are bogus. People saying that PS3 has “7 cores more to go”, ‘good luck with your little DVD drives’, and “Microsoft paid 50 million to get the maps out early”. Honestly, why lie? You’re only cheating yourselves. Post A: Xbox claims 3 cores but I’m not sure I buy that. PS3 claims one core. Cores don’t matter much, it’s not like they make a game with 10 threads for processing. The 360 and PS3 are more or less the same there. Post B: I’ll admit it’s a nice feature to have built in Blu-ray. I don’t have either next-gen player yet, no real need for it. In my opinion, if you are concerned about 1080p movies, you should at least have a 1080p capable TV. With that, you should have a proper A/V setup instead of using your gaming console, but that’s just me. Post C: I’m willing to bet that Microsoft didn’t pay a dime to ‘get the maps out early’, that’s just the way it goes. Look at how games sometimes get released earlier in Europe than in North America.

      For the record I’m a 360 owner, not ‘proud’ because of it, but it works great for me and I’m happy with it.

  9. mississippipsyco says:

    What little XBOX boys? Have you ever surfed the net on your XBOX? NO. Can you watch blue rays? NO. Now back to the bitches at INFINITY WARD, I will never buy another one of your games. I will steal one before you fags make another cent off of me. Stop screwing over the PS3 people and release it the same day.RELEASE THE F*&KING MAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. Lions says:

    Listen!! I have a 360 and a ps3 overall the 360 is better at the moment, because of online play, and u get achievements, bio, ect. i had cod4 on the 360 and got rid of it when rainbow six vegas 2 came out on xbox, then i got cod4 on the ps3 & find out the maps aint out on ps3 yet. rar!! + the graphics and feel to it is all wrong compared to the 360 version. and the ps3 pad is a lot harder to use than 360 pad for cod4. cant wait for haze tho! and blu ray all da way. lol

    • filibuster says:

      ok, ok, ok, i had an xbox once then i got the three red lights of death, while i was waiting a month to get my xbox back i bought a ps3. now i cant even sell my xbox at a reasonable price ( not gettin shafted by a gaming store). ive seen cod4 for xbox the graphics on the ps3 far surpass that of the xbox. the only thing the xbox might even have on the ps3 is the dash board ablity with out having to quit the game thats it. im sorry xbox fanboy’s but you own an inferior machine no need to get mad thats just how it is. period there is realy nothin you can say about it. o ya btw i posted this from my ps3 while downloading demo’s dont thing xbox can do that.

    • Rofl! says:

      PS3 users can get shafted all they want because think about it in the coming years PS3 is going to dominate the gaming console. I don’t see an Xbox 720 coming out anytime soon and eventually and Xbox 360 is going to start losing its hype. Nothing lasts forever and of course getting shafted again just means the greater the taste of victory when finally the PS3 gets its deserved notice and respect :) .

  11. satellite says:

    I believe they are delayed because of SONY. They have to clear through their testing process which is lengthier than MS.

    • James Walker says:

      Frankly I don’t care who is responsible for the initial delay — the perception by many PS3 owners is that they’re being alienated by these delayed releases, and the lack of any kind of proper explanation on IW’s part only furthers this sentiment.

      • kory s says:

        my goodness, this is the first post where a user used appropriate english and grammar in a sentence. good job!!

  12. def claw says:

    This is bogus even though all of PS3 owner’s and me of course tried to say something like we need the COD4 new maps they don’t care cause there the one has the remote control to contol us consumer’s it’s like they have the power it’s all BS 2 me all they want is this $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ sign

  13. Damn $$ for PS3 Map Pack? says:

    AWw…. damn so we do have to pay…. fack….. im not even going to get started on 360….. wtf is MS points its like fukken tickets at the arcade….. ooohh wow get ms points so u can buy the maps……. y not just use fukken dollars like civilized ppl do….. fukken MicroShit…..either way……. 10 bucks for 4 maps is kinda expensive… the socom maps only costs 5-6 bucks i believe…. but w.e. i dont think buying the GotY edition is any better… thats like paying another 60 bucks to get the same game and a free pass to get the maps thats probably included in the game price….. but thats my opinion… getting shafted once again just adds on to the list….

    • c says:

      As my 360 sits on the shelf covered in dust i play my ps3 there are far more immature idiot kids on xbox live which keeps me from playing my 360.Also pay to play online is just lame.PS3 ftw…

  14. Adrian Forrest says:

    Such anger and hostility on this thread.

    So what if we have to wait 3 more weeks. It’s a business world and if someone has paid IW to release it on Xbox first then so be it.

    If somebody offered you money to release you game on the Xbox first what would you say “Oh no, the would be unfair to the gaming community. Please take your money and donate it to some worthwhile charity.”.

    As for the Xbox v PS3 war that goes on and on and on. I have a PS3, i like it, it serves it’s purpose. I have seen some games on the Xbox and they look graphically superior, but as a certain english chav would say, “Am i bothered?”

    Looking forward to Civilisation and C&C on PS3 they should be interesting. As you can use a mouse and keyboard on the PS3 – why not release AOE style games. I love my PC for them games.

    Anyway, everybody…..chill man, take a seat, have a cup of cha!!! and relax.

  15. ER()rrI7 says:

    Delay a PS3 map? Infinity Ward – What takes so long? compiling maps dont take 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dont worry PS3 owners, no 360 fan will be playing MGS4!!! WHOS LAUGHING NOW!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Paul says:

    Why all the fighting? I never got why you have to have such strong and truly idiotic brand loyalty. All the consoles have their positives and negatives. I’d love to be able to own them all.

  17. grrrr says:

    10 dollards just for 4 maps, this is a rip off, but eventhough it is, hope what we pay for is worthpaying, now you guys comparae between ps3 and xbox360, ps is a ps, is sony, xbox is xbox, is microsoft, 2 different band and system, there is nothing we could compare between the two, you could only say one is more new because the ps delay and xbox is older due to the fact that it came out for a while~.~

  18. Tyler says:

    Well my look on this whole deal is I have a lot of friends who play death box and all of them always complain about oh i got the red ring of death and i havent seen my xbox for mounths now. I tell them well get a ps3 and u dont have to worrie about that.

    Another one complains about well i just dont have enough money to pay for the online.

    WEll LOOK HERE ALL U XBOX NEWBS PS3 Has online free-HD Bluerays Player- HAve just as much Quality as the xbox. Although the ps3 does not die after u have it. My ps3 holds up to 80GB of memory plus i can add an flash drive to give it 8 additional GB of memory.
    I can also hook almost and USB device to My ps3. So yeah “The Death BOx Dont have shit on use ps3 boys.” And the ps3 dominates the damn xbox SOny Has been putting out systems for i dont know how long and i still have My Original PLAYSTATION and it still works fine and i play it every now and again. So yeah My Vote GOes out to all of u Ps3 users My online user is thecodemiest2
    I have a 1.07 kill death ratio. i also have 35k kills. :) Hit me up with a friend request if u wont to play some serious Clan Wars. I am On the 8th Prestige and my clan dominates. (=+=)

  19. superlink123456789 says:

    ps3 is way better then the xbox 360 i heard that they may not make ps3 owners pay because they have to dread 21 more days. i hope thats true and don’t say its not or !¿&? you.

  20. MaGNuM419 says:

    PS3 is by far more better then the 360. 2 times more powerful,,,,, Wi-Fi,,,,,, Blue Ray,,,,,,, just watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRaYXHHCgxo

  21. Another thing says:

    where’s the damn vibration for DS3? I heard it wasn’t coming out at all!

  22. Cracker jack says:

    I was personally offended by IW when we PS3 owners had almost 2 weeks of fucked up servers because they dedicated too many to XBL and not PSN, took them 2 week to switch enough servers over to PSN? dont think so, fuck IW and their shit map packs. I got CoD4 for PC for that reason alone, and maps will more than likely be free for PC, or you could ahem, “acquire” them by other means….

  23. bob says:

    wow this is just a guess but u think bill payed a little extra for the maps to come out on his system b4 sonys

    xbox elite
    ps3 60gig
    wii
    ya i own

  24. haha, xbox 360 is a huge massive big failure.. ps3 is so very much better, any body with just a small tiny knoledge on computer componant hardware will know this..

    most xbox 360 owners are stupid dumb ass fan boys, and are really pissed that there parents bought them a xbox shit60 for xmas instead of a ps3 that they really wanted, but there parents could not afford it lol..

    never mind poor 360 people, one day you too might have a ps3 if your good and work hard and save your money.. :P

  25. kids says:

    no doubt your ps3 exclusive games look real good and ur ps3 is quiet and pretty, but the 360’s louder sounding drive is b/c it reads faster on the outer edges where 90% of gaming software companies put their largest files for reading. hence better reading no need to copy to harddrive. higher read times are better than constant read times. go do alittle studying.

    i laugh at 7cores why b/c for one, barely any programs not even games but programs take advantage of even 4 yet. and the fact that you think your 7 cores is spectacular is retarded. by 2010 amd and intel will skip 8 cores going straight to 12 for pcs. add this into the equation and the shtbox 720 could be less than 3 years down the road when 7 cores will mean nothing. if pcs are upto 12 within 2 years you idiots that are boasting about power that you can’t even use yet and will basically have a gaming system that never reached its potential. u guys just bought a very expensive blueray player which will probably phase out in 2 years aswell b/c hd content will be streaming everywhere so no real need for a disk, just a big harddrive. take alook at x264 h264 and wmv hd.

    educating the masses. this is for gaming not for movie watching. but in the end both can watch movies.

    “In terms of the active memory on access, the PS3 is two times as powerful as the PS2 and the Xbox 360 is twice that.
    Nick says,

    The reason memory speed is an issue is purely for framerate. If you have a massive polygonal monster (err literally) to display that’s a lot of vertices to process, on top of texture mapping, normal mapping, light mapping, per pixel shading etc etc yawn. And you’re trying to squeeze all that data down a pipe to be processed and spat out at the other end. The faster your memory the more you can squeeze down the pipe at once, meaning the more data you can process. So memory and processor speed are very connected.”

    think about the above. too much cpu power with not enough pipe speed is useless and the 360 has twice that of the ps3. know where your actual power is needed before you go boasting your 7 cores.

  26. THE no knowledge says:

    Where can i get these map packs on ps3?
