We loved, and continue to give Call of Duty 4 much loving here at XBW and no doubt, you're the same. There's pretty much next to nothing about this game to hate, it's that good!
Well rather than sit around doing nothing, as while I say "next to nothing" there are a few things in the multiplayer side that could be tightened up a tad, Infinity Ward has announced it is already working on an update for the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Here's what they plan to address;
Wanted to give you a heads up for an update in the works for the Xbox 360 version. We're going to be optimizing a lot of things behind the scenes with matchmaking and host selection as well as adding a few new features via the update which I have outlined below.
No ETA on when this update will be available for download, just giving a heads up on what's to come in the future in the first potential update:
Additions / New Features:
- Added Kill cam to Airstrike bombs and Claymores.
- Addition of Host Migration so if Host Leaves auto-chooses next best host.
Tweaked the following Oldschool Mode settings based on feedback:
- Added Unlimited Sprint.
- Increased Magazine Size.
- Added Ragdoll Cam.
Optimizations / Tweaks:
- Identify party by background color (in Lobby).
- Optimized server selection for first match for better connections.
- Improved network performance for 18 player games.
- Optimized 'Chase Cam' when Spectating.
- Fixed Playlist error when attempting to join from other games.
- Handle Corrupt Create A Class data instead of kicking player .
All sounds good. A actual 'game browser' with a connection quality indicator, or an option to only connect to 'good connections' like in Halo 3 would have been welcomed though as I'm tired of being the only person in 75% of the games that I join who speaks english and isn't some loudmouth American... Shane..
