Call of Duty 4 - New Maps!

The new maps for Call of Duty 4 have been released! I downloaded these on Thursday evening when they were released, but I’ve been playing them non-stop and so have only got round to blogging about it now. There are four new maps - Broadcast, Creek, Chinatown, and Killhouse. I’ve only played three so far, as Killhouse hasn’t come up in the rotation yet for me. Let’s have a brief look through them…

Broadcast

This is a great map, mainly indoor, but has a huge parking lot and a few outdoor buildings. There’s a big newsroom in the centre, with intense gunfights across the computers. There’s corridors around the sides of the building and a large open area on the outside with multiple levels. There’s also a television studio and toilets to explore.

Creek

Creek is a big outdoor map, probably my favourite. There are many hills, a few buildings and a cave too. You’re lucky if you manage to walk around there without being snipered, people hide in barns, on roofs and up in the hills. Of course, there is also the ravine, quite fun to walk through as people can’t really see down there! As far as the scenery goes, there is a big waterfall around the middle of the map, although the water effects aren’t so good!

Chinatown

This is a packed town with many buildings. Definately a map for claymores! It’s fairly big, and there are some buildings with three levels. It’s quite fun to have building-to-building fights across the streets through windows, and then to drop frags onto unsuspecting wanderers below! Very Chinese themed, although many shop names are in English. There are a few mounted guns at windows. Playing Headquaters here is very fun!

Killhouse

Not played Killhouse yet, but by the looks of it, it’s a small map which uses a lot of the rooms from the training level. Looks a fast action-packed level to play, probably the only level based in the UK too.

I recommend getting these map packs! They’re £6.99 on the UK PlayStation Store, that’s $10 on the US i think. Let me know what you think about them too! Feel free to leave a comment.
