New patch for Call of Duty 4 PC is out now photo

Infinity Ward has pumped out another patch for the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Before you can install the patch though, you'll need to make sure you already have v1.4 downloaded.

Also, the two patches aren't compatible with one another, so you won't be able to see servers running with the older v1.4 patch if you've got v1.5 (the newest one) instead.

You're probably wondering what's included in the patch, right? There's nothing too major, really:

• Fixed server browser not showing all of the servers
• The "hold [ ] to steady" sniper scope hint will only appear if you can use it
• Fixed game not recognizing IWDs existing if they are all in fs_basepath and none are in the main/ folder
• Made mod scripts able to change stats
• Allow developer_script for mulitiplayer modding
• Fixed map rotation errors with usermaps
• Fix for reloading several times after connecting to a modded server
• Fixed minimap not showing up in the menu for usermaps
• Fixed an issue with Http redirect downloads.
• Mod tools will now work with other languages
This patch is nice and all, but where's the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 support? We need some love too!

I agree. IW has fucked over the console owners with this lack of support, especially EU PS3 owners who desperately need the connectivity patch to play with the rest of the world. Way to fuck over your core audience IW.

if it's because the Griz didn't want Nocioni (and I thought his contract was so reasonable!) then what can you do? I guess it is sort of damning that Pax never has these juicy expiring deals for anything except to expire.

I haven't played Live since my Gold ran out around Jan. 4th(and neither have my friends really since XBL still runs screwy around here) and I was pretty surprised to find out that they STILL haven't released this patch.

"...Especially EU PS3 Owners...Way to fuck over your core audience IW"

Infinity Ward's core audience is people play CoD4 on PS3? Doubt it.

And don't feel too fucked over. Since 1.4 I haven't been able to use the in game browser to find servers (PC), and if this fixes it great, now I just need to wait for enough servers to update. In the mean time, hooray for Xfire :P

I suck at the game for PC because of my crappy mouse and slowish internet connection. So I'll pass on the download.

"Way to fuck over your core audience IW."

I don't understand. How have they fucked the PC users over by offering them a patch?

I'd like IW to take a look at changing some things. Like Martyrdom and grenade spam in general. It's completely ridiculous that I kill someone who has no grenades left but upon death they magically sprout one from somewhere (rectum?) to become a sort of biological landmine. Other than that, I love the game!

Or you could, you know, run away from the grenade.

Or pick up the grenade and throw it at another player. Maybe this fixes the issue I've been seeing recently of the M14 assault rifle not registering the first shot. I've seen it happen, a player is standing still aiming and I come up from behind, I pull up the red dot sight, aim right at him, shoot and the first shot doesn't register, I don't hear it hit nor do I see any character twitch that I normally see when I shoot and hit another player.

To all the tards complaining about consoles getting fucked over: did you raed what the patch fixes? It's essentially a patch supporting mods and modders. Nothing else.

It's about time the pc got some love, even if it looks like a pretty minor patch.

I was starting to think Valve was the only company that cared about the PC.
I also agree with Copulatingduck, this patch is mostly directed towards mods, the rest of the fixes are too minor to care.

I'm not talking about this patch. Anyway, I'd call console owners the core audience when the console versions of CoD 4 sell more than the PC version. Console owners got fucked over not by this patch, but by version 1.4 patch that came with the new map. Still hasn't come out to the 360 or PS3 versions yet. EU PS3 owners got fucked over when they got disconnected from the rest of the world by IW.
