The long-lost PS3 iterations of Call of Duty 4's first map pack aren't looking so lost these days. Infinity Ward have announced that the PS3 maps are done and have been submitted to Sony for certification. From there, all it'll take from Sony is for them to certify that they're awesome, and you PS3 owners should be good to go. Provided the PSN doesn't make like Xbox Live and crash & burn from the strain, that is.

Great news! Hopefully Sony will be quick about it and give them to us when the store comes back.
What a great welcome back gift for all of the PS3 owners returning to the new and improved PSN Store!
@aeonpulse: too bad its being made by the company who did COD3. I cant wait till COD6
I'm not sure if i'm going to buy this. I'm trying to save money. Yes its 10 but those 10 can go to something else like mgs4. Btw MGS4>COD. I'll most likely get them though :/
this is making me hate error code 80010514 even more
i really dought the servers will be strained as I know from expieriance that even when your in a lobby on PSN CoD4 and you dont want to play the map or people if you back out and search again you end up in the very same room...WEAK..! on XBox 360 and Live! if you leave a room good luck finding that same room again. so if that's any indication remember an older posting from the inner webs that on any givin day there are over 1,000,000 players logged in and ummmmm....on the PSN err ummmm I don't think we wanna go there...to low to even bother. So Go ahead SONY boys it's ok to download at the same time..all together now..! lol
Option A: Beg parents for use of Credit Card
Opyion B: Maintain self respect
...Anyone got a quarter?
I'm seriously excited for the creek map, I believe it's called? The one with the giant ravine and whatnot. It just looks like such a badass stage.
@[KU]Shindokie: Wishes for a Star: Yes, it does add up, but you could convince a friend to buy it and then get it from that said friend since he's been mooching off you on the psn....
And yes if that friend is reading this now they're getting this, can't wait to play these new maps
@JorgieX:
troll much?
I'll skip this. I already spent over 200 bucks today on Persona 3: FES, GTA IV, and MGS4 preorders. BUT DAMN IT, GAMESTOP-DUDE TOLD ME THAT ARCANA HEART WAS DELAYED TILL THE 10TH, IS THIS ACTUALLY TRUE?
@JorgieX: you spoony bard...err... troll
Joystick + Gun = Failure
@Word Man: I am being used in this way T_T
@JorgieX:
thats some serious trolling there man
@K-Squad! (Badass Edition):
your comment + us joystick users= don't care :/
@K-Squad! (Badass Edition): @JorgieX: Kotaku seriously needs to hire a billy goat or three to deal with all the trolls popping up around here lately.
I really don't like Creek and this is coming from a sniping fanatic. You have two options on that map.
1. Go over the hill and snipe or be sniped.
2. Go into the cave and get blown to bits or blow others to bits.
IMHO its a poorly designed map and gets old fast. There are very few places to get away from a sniper scope.
@LittleBigPlaneteer: & Sweet Tooth: now now lets remember guys Rule 14:[www.urbandictionary.com]
@Rurik: Then we shall start a support group. But my friends and I all mooch off each other on psn.
Meetings begin 4-17-08
@JorgieX: Please don't talk out of your ass. I've landed in the same game numerous times on Xbox Live, I always have to wait a minute or two so I don't land in the same game. I'll probably regret feeding you, but someone had to do it.
@Word Man: I just get used because my buddy doesn't have a credit card.
erm, ps3 owners arent going to get it any quicker... It's exclusive to 360 for 21 days... only 5 of those have passed so far so its another 2 weeks for you lot
@GUNDAM-RX-78-2: Indeed. We need to start applying this rule ferociously here at Kotaku.
@the_chosen_one: The Store is getting a redesign so even without the exclusivity (that I never heard of anyways) we would get it later.
@slomo788:
[www.n4g.com]
[www.1up.com]
[kotaku.com]
There... 3 posts that say exactly the same... Even one from Kotaku. So do you suffer from selective blindness!?!
@GREY GECKO: Dont even respond to trolls. Just let Witz say something awesome like... alright twenty seconds later and I cant think of anything, but he will say something witty and then bam! No more trolls. He also serves as the exception to rule 14 by BanHammering (TM) them.
As for the article at hand, do these cost more, less, or the same as the 360 ones?
@the_chosen_one:
he knows that we are getting it later. your the blind one my friend
@the_chosen_one: Never said you were lying, just said that I didn't know. Thanks for the links anyways. And my point remains still. DLC exclusivity doesn't affect (informed) PS3 owners at this time.
@NitrousO: Sometimes upholding the law is messy. But Witz gets by. One day at a time.
Welcome PS3 players to the cluster fuck that is "Creek". I really think I've lost touch these days, most "game sites" previews or reviews have touted this as the best map of the bunch. It's a choke point joke to me personally, I was hoping it was going to be more like the CoD map Hurtgen, at least from it's description. I really do enjoy what IW did with CoD4 but a lot of the maps seem a lot more clausterphobic than CoD or CoD 2. I guess I just blame that on the 360 being the main focal point as opposed to PC.
And the PC gamer Quietly waits...
I can't wait to play these maps!
@JorgieX: Seriously , stop trolling. This isn't the first Sony related article I've seen you post on and its always the same crap. I've said this before. I know my grammar isn't perfect, but your grammar is horrible.
Hmmm... I don't know, $10 seems a little much for a couple of maps. Might get me back into the game though. Decisions, decisions...
Im happy for you ps3 owners, although you should have gotten the maps the same time as the 360 owners. I bought the maps the first day they came out and I must say they were worth every penny.
@Lancehead: We don't need you back. Stay where your at.... *hugs* I miss you :/
@[KU]Shindokie: Wishes for a Star: Dude, you know as well as I do that you'll be buying these.
So it's 10 bucks. I don't mind paying for something if it has value. To be honest COD4 needs these maps to keep me playing. However... as soon as MSG4 hits, sorry CoD it was a great run and all. It was just time to move on.
@Balance_In_Life (PSN): I very much agree with you. As much as i love playing this online, the same maps over and over again wear thin on the player. OH how mgs needs to come out now, the online will be harmonious
I'm still pissed off we didnt get Host migration, and we can't mute players in the lobby, and map 'Bog' still lags like crazy on ground war. Otherwise I cant wait until these release.
@Word Man: If its anything like the original MGO it will be glitchful! Man I can't stop talking about how horrible that online game was, but at the same time it was so fun. Running down a corridor to be shot by some guy glitching from across the map hanging. His body is showing but in reality he is moving around the map and not hanging. EIther way the beta should keep me busy til Gta and then on to MGS!
@[KU]Shindokie: Wishes for a Star: Hahaha yeah it did have a lot of glitches, i once got stuck in a game with 2 guys that took advantage of every single one of them, I was pissed. Got killed by a guy on a latter...so i went and killed him 2 mins. later, he was still on the latter killing everyone -.- But it was still fun as shit, but without the offensive odor
@GUNDAM-RX-78-2: thank you for reminding me.^^
They should release an installer so other sites will host it, this will reduce the strain on PSN.
@[KU]Shindokie: Wishes for a Star: you should look up videos of the japanese beta, its almost as smooth as butter.
@Word Man: yes MGS3 online (or MGO) was fun as hell. we did so much fun stuff (like killing our own teammates for the fun of it) and then teabagging our dead enemies. the Sniping was awesome. the best (disburbing but funny) part was while playing as Raikov and his special attack (squeezing someone's nuts knocking them unconscious)
@Word Man: I agree. Man it was fun stuff. I remember that the #1 guy was hated by everybody. H cheated hsi way to the top. That game had so much drama it was fun. Ahh... now i need my MGO fix.
@Laughin_Caulk: I bet but i don't know if you played MGO. Haha it was great times.
@Sweet Tooth: You're twisted my friend, but as you pointed out hilarious....I probably would've done the same for sheer laughs >.>
