The Variety Map Pack for COD4 : Modern Warfare (Call of Duty 4) has arrived for xbox 360 gamers here is a list of the maps and descriptions of why they were designed this way.
They were said to include all aspects of gameplay in COD4. It is said that PS3 gamers will not have to wait to long for the map pack to arrive on the sony ps3 platform.
But they do cost.. 800 MS Points to be exact.
Broadcast
Its size and alternating routes make “Broadcast” great for large team games. A large, multi-story television station with plenty of window vantage points creates the perfect setting for floor-to-floor combat. The station is surrounded by extensive outdoor areas consisting of a long parking lot, surrounding buildings with sniping hiding spots and side-rooftop access to the top and bottom floors of the television station.
Creek
A large wide open village in the woods, “Creek” consists of heavy foliage, great for sniper cover: a deep ravine offers an excellent vantage point for ambushes; an underground cave offers an alternate evasion route; and various multi-floor houses populate a patchwork of connected farmland. This extensive open map is great for snipers with plenty of natural coverage consisting of rocks and trees. There are various routes for advancement from both high and low vantage points over and underneath the hillsides. Another great map for large team games.
Chinatown
A modern revision of the classic Call of Duty “Carentan” map, “Chinatown” takes players to the foggy downtown district of a Chinatown. A night time setting, the cityscape is well lit by the full moon and the glow of brightly colored lanterns and neon lights from local businesses. This district offers a variety of open-street and interior settings, perfect for fire fights throughout the connected roads, courtyards, antique shops and markets within it. Great for all game types and players.
Killhouse
“Killhouse” is an enclosed warehouse made of plywood structures, mock-ups and speed-run courses used for training, creating the right mix of obstacles for small team games or free-for-alls with a variety of soft and hard cover points spread throughout the entire ground level.

Grid is a game by Codemasters who also previously created the game DiRT.
Anyway Grid is expected to be released by summer 2008. Anyone that waits for game’s to be released know’s that the release dates are always subject to change, delays etc. But seeing some of the gameplay of Grid and trailers it looks like Codemasters are up to scratch.
The game looks great it has about 50 cars, which maybe less than expected but they each have their own greatness about them. They are said to be 50 of the best racing cars that were made, which means you will have a great time driving them at very high speeds..
The cars each have their own way of breaking apart, meaning when taking on damage from hitting other objects or opponents you hit the bumper and it may fall off.
The damage engine they are using has derived from DiRT, but has been modified and changed alot since that game was developed.
They announced that this type of racer was not going to be an Arcade style racer or and Simulator Type racer. It was going to be inbetween, a cross between the both? maybe. It will have some aspects of a simluator and arcade style. This racing game Grid focuses on the race of racing, not modding your car improving performance, but the actually rush of being in a race. So all the cars will be unlocked ‘out of the box’, no need to play for days and days to unlock new cars.
The game is said to include many racing types, including drifting, and average speed race first to the finish.
Checkout the gallery on grid-game.com for some nice screenshots, and more information.

I thought I’d update you guys quickly and just let you know hes released another video this time 9 minutes long and showing you the zombies in great masses, how they react to a certain amount of humans etc, its very interesting as well as fun!
Once you know how to change the colour of your crysis nickname / username then you are ready to permanently change the colour of your nickname.
Firstly you need to find your profile folder which will be located at such a directory like:DRIVE:\Documents and Settings\[ XP USERNAME]\My Documents\My Games\Crysis\ProfilesSo in your “My Documents” folder under “My Games” -> “Crysis” -> “Profiles”
(Before you question it what i mean by ‘permanent’, it does not mean you cant repeat these steps and change your game name ever again, it just means when entering the game you will not have to keep changing your name the manual way, your name will be changed automatically.)
Right click the folder of that profile name you wish to change the name of, Rename it to a colour name e.g
Rename the folder “Username” to “$8User$4Name”. In Crysis that would look something like UserName , see the crysis colour chart for a list of colour codes.
Then OPEN the folder and you should see profile.xml
OPEN profile.XML in a text editor such as notepad.
Replace:
<Profile Name=”Username”/>With the profile name you chose to rename the folder in our case:
<Profile Name=”$4User$8Name”/>
Save The File!
Launch Crysis and enter a multiplayer game you will see your name is already set as coloured!
If you need anymore help comments are welcome.

A while ago now an article was written about the Crysis coop mod not long ago an update with a video had been released containing ZOMBIES!
these zombies are WIP. this is just displaying the zombie behavior or character in game. the map and zombies will be in Assault Coop Crysis.
Here are a few image’s captured from the implementation of Korean zombies, running across the Sandy Dunes which i think actually looks like a great area to be placed in with a hundred zombies, not sure if this is just a test area for flameknight7 the developer. Assault Crysis COOP Mod looks to be coming together quite well.
I’m glad there re a lot of users looking forward to it.

Football Superstars is an Massively Multi-player Online Game, in which of course you will be playing as a football player. I know this game will appeal to so many people as there are a lot of football fans out there.
Football Superstars is currently due to be released this year 2008. Although there is no exact date confirmed it is expected to be this summer sometime.
Like most MMOG’s Football Superstars will feature a epic world in which players can explore different parts of. This game is not all about being a player on the pitch but also taking the Superstar to the max and enjoying what players do off the pitch ( saying that i doubt the age rating will be that high so don’t expect to see or do everything they get up to ).
The game will feature full TEAMS create your own team with a few mates or just people you meet online, I’ve not seen this type of MMOG before but this looks like it is going well!
The good stuff
Football Superstars is soon to be released as a beta phase and you the public will be able to test it. The graphics from screen shots do not look as good as some MMOG’s and MMORPG’s that we have seen around today, but they look sufficient and that they will serve the purpose of what they need.
In Football Superstars its said in the Developer’s diary’s that you WILL be able to customize your players look.
Checkout their site get signed up, and make sure you fill out all the information and you will have a chance for Beta testing Football Superstars very soon!

And enjoy a few cool pictures i found whilst finding out some information about Firefox 3.
That’s right one of the worlds most favored web browser’s mozilla firefox 3! is available for download as a beta version 4. The smart, and small browser compared to its web browser rival’s, FireFox has taken the web browsing experience by storm and more and more people use Firefox everyday.
Internet Users have seemed to start using Firefox for its great new features that other browser like Internet Explorer have started to implement. Firefox also has a cleaner interface that was very basic looking, but kept everything that any user needed.
Plugins, themes, and community based development is a great feature in Firefox unlike Microsoft’s Internet explorer too.
Lets see what Firefox 3 has in store for us anyway.
Improvements?!
Yeah thats right.. as strange as it may seem what could improve FireFox.
FireFox 3 contains many improvements, When i actually started up this Firefox 3 beta 4 version, it seemed like there was something missing, so of course i checked back to the old firefox and checked back in Firefox 3 again, i thought to myself its got everything that Firefox version 2 has, why does it look cleaner, i managed to notice that there was only no google bar on Firefox 3, because of it being a clean installation.
Firefox 3 also has many additional anti-spy and anti pop up methods, which is great! although i didn’t have many pop up or spy ware problems with Firefox , everyone i come across did with Internet Explorer! Go Firefox.
Mozilla Firefox 3 has also incorporated a more browsing history information, more information! Don’t worry there maybe more information displayed on your screen, but they have managed to keep it as clean as the Firefox browser has maintained through the years.
A lot of gamers got Motorstorm 2’s predecessor ‘Motorstorm’ shipped and bought with their PS3 in a package. Sony are planning to bring you Motorstorm 2 this year 2008. Sony only being the publishers, this game was created originally by Evolution Studios , but Sony have since then acquired Evolution Studios who have a good background in game development especially racing games. Although Motorstorm 2 will be a bigger, badder great game to play it will still use the same game engine as motorstorm, although this doesn’t seem to be a draw back of any kind because the original motorstorm had stunning visuals anyway.
Talking of visuals motorstorm 2 is not going to be located in desert and sandy dunes like its predecessor motorstorm. Players are going to experience another type of scene where you will be driving and riding though jungle and vast vegetation areas, which reminds me of the lush environment crysis was set in, and these scenes definitely can open some eyes.
Take a look below at the screen shots from the trailer and ever further for the motorstorm 2 trailer itself.
Whats New
Motorstorm 2 brings you:
lush interactive environments
new vehicles including Monster Trucks!
And obviously tons more tracks.
More features to come I’m sure but right now they are unannounced
Another great feature will be 4 player split screen which I am sure a lot of gamers want when they have their friends and family over.
