There are some awesome upcomings for COD4. How about watching a replay of an airstrike taking you out?!? Awesome. New maps added to gameplay rotation! Lots of great stuff in here.

OH yeah it's about time but I wish they had more maps. But hey it's free so I can't complain.

[D_Litch]

No changes to Ground War sucks ass, they need more variants in that list.

This patch does sound pretty sweet! I can't wait!

[mrsako]

[MadBryan]

I still haven't played this online

[Peench]

Wow MadB - you are missing out. this game is fun online - when you are matched up against people your rank anyway.

I hope the Acog is actually usable now after the update, I never knew where to put the arrow.

They could have made the host migration better by simply carrying on with the match, like they did in COD3 rather then taking you back to the lobby. But at least its an improvement though.

Nice, a patch finally.

Now that I have leveled up and know the maps, COD4 is fun as shit for me. I prefer it over Halo3 actually. For some reason, COD4 just feels right to me and it seems as though the gameplay never plays out the same way even when playing the same map over and over. It's not the same, hole up here and just dominate the map. I can't say the same for Halo 3. I can hold my own against high level 50's and such with no problem now.

Sounds like the patch/update is right around the corner (article from TeamXbox.com) By far the best part is at the end highlighted in blue.

Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward Community Relations Manager, has announced that the new feature patch for the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4 has finished it’s internal testing and development and has officially been sent off to Microsoft for Certification. Below is a list of some of the new features found in this upcoming patch:

New Kill Cams

We’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!” grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it over the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny window, where you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow behind RPGs and M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow the bomb from the plane until it hits you.

Host Migration

Now you won’t have to be dropped back by yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will stay together, a new host will be assigned, and the game will auto-start back up. Keeping everyone together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games because some host leaves. This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.

Improved Sniper / ACOG Accuracy

Sniper and ACOG scopes have been tweaked and are really improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a horrible sniper), but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still having the same difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!” moments.

Upgraded Spectator Cam

Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow them in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching.

Quick Mute Option

Users will now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the scoreboard in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and hitting the mute assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating an airstike. So no longer getting killed while trying to make your way through the Xbox blades for the mute option so you can shut up the guy who always seems to find it funny to sing into his mic or cover up for his lack of skill by telling you how to play Domination his way.

Quick Mute FTW!

I like the host migration part!
