The new Call of Duty 4 maps are set to come out this week on April 3rd in a timed exclusive deal for the Xbox 360 (PS3 will get the new maps in three weeks and eventually for the PC version). Some lucky gamers got a chance to play on these new maps this past weekend prior to the release. Infinity Ward threw a few events around the world to promote the new maps and, um, Nerf Guns.
A few of our own here at Dtoid got a chance to play with the four maps and have C-Blogged their adventures. Hit the jump to read about what atheistium, Pedro, Phist, Husky Hog and Dead247 thought of the new map pack.
Out of all the events that took place, it looks like atheistium was at the best one. They went all out with the decorations with sandbags and even demolished cars surrounding the London event. The London event also had the best prize with a 52" TV up for grabs. atheistium also managed to get a lot of attention while at the event since she was the only one there with a vag.
Back to America, two CoD 4 map pack events took place in San Jose and New York. Dead247 and Husky Hog went to the San Jose event but they got there late. They really didn't get to do anything besides watching other people play the game. They played with a Nerf gun though and shot at cardboard. That's like a videogame.
Pedro and Phist went to the New York event and had a little more success compared to the West Coast duo. Pedro actually got a couple of the developers to sign the CoD 4 guide which he'll be giving away along with a CoD 4 camo shirt on his C-Blog soon. Phist should have his own write up later on in the evening.
To get a better idea of the maps, check the gallery below and head over to To1kien's C-Blog to see video of all the maps.
So now that you know a litte more about the maps, do you think it's going to be worth $10 ($2.50 a piece) for the four maps? And don't forget that this Friday's FNF will be hosting a Call of Duty 4 tournament. Check out the DestructoidFNF blog for all the details and the prizes are that are being offered up.

Wait, $10? Really? Damn it. Oh, well...considering I only paid $48 + tax for my copy of the game, I guess I shouldn’t be complaining. And by the way, I’m still peeved that the maps won’t be coming out for another three weeks on the PS3. Grr.
Is this because MS wants them to charge for the maps but they cant charge PC players, so they just wont release them to PC players to keep a pretend value up?
Then again..it will give me the chance to get the gold dragonuv...heh.
Decisions, Decisions...
Thank goodness for the US govt giving all us gamers an extra $600 this year to buy additional content!
*Yawn*
Oh well. RSV2 is pretty entertaining. I like the ranking and progression over CoD4, although the graphics leave a little bit to be desired in comparison. I'll wait 'til these are free to pick 'em up.
Lulz, if they think they can try and rip us PC gamers off by charging for maps they'll be sorely disappointed. Dipshits.
I was dumb enough to buy the Heroic map pack for halo. and I've never ONCE played on them because they never got added to the ranked playlist. the maps are purely for you and your friends to dick around on with "Social Playlists" and since thats probably going the case with this map pack, I'm going to pretend it never came out
In any case, i dont pay for maps. I like that bungie releases them for free eventually; you pay for the privilege rather than the maps themselves. I have CoD 4 for pc anyway, so ill just wait.

Somehow I don't think this will be an issue here.
GT Gridl0k if anybody (UK ppl?) wants to add.
Now I just have to decide whether to prestige for the 4th time, or try for gold..
