Source Infinity Ward has been hard at work on a playlist update for its hugely-popular first-person-shooter Call of Duty 4, and we could be seeing the results next weekend. According to Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward's director of communications, the team has an Xbox Live and PlayStation Network promotion in the pipeline for the weekend of September 13th. Exact details of the promotion haven't yet been revealed, but Bowling stated that double-experience points will be on offer for those itching to raise their in-game rank quickly. More interesting, however, is the fact that Infinity Ward's developers are pushing hard to complete their new playlist updates in time for the promotion - making it all one-big promotion, says Bowling. Should the team manage to get it done, and certified by both Microsoft and Sony, we could see some of the following playlists next weekend. Be aware, though, that Bowling has stated that the following list is far from final, and there's currently no telling what we'll receive. Hardcore Headquarters Testing is completed for Hardcore HQ. This playlist has standard HQ rules w/ Hardcore Settings. Limited HUD, Increased Bullet Damage, and Friendly Fire Enabled. Hardcore Ricochet Playlist This is the No Teamkilling playlist. Any damage a teamkiller attempts to do to their team mates is reflected onto themselves only. Therefore, if they attempt to shoot an RPG into the ground at the beginning of the match; the only person who will die, is the Teamkiller. This eliminates the fear of being shot in the back by some asshole, but still encourages players to play tactically and not throw random nades, because if you accidentally hit a teammate, you’re only going to end up killing yourself and they’ll go unharmed. No Teamkilling, No Random Nades. This playlist will include the variant for Hardcore Teamdeathmatch, Hardcore Search and Destroy, and Hardcore HQ. Sudden Death Sabotage Sabotage with no respawns. Fast-paced and intense Sabotage. No more hiding with the bomb until time runs out for sudden death. Increased XP per kills to encourage Team Deathmatch mentality. Defend your objective, while attempting to secure the bomb and plant on theirs. Once you’re dead, you’re dead. No second chances. Second Chance Search and Destroy Search and Destroy with 1 respawn each. This completely revamps your Search and Destroy tactics. No longer will lucky frag or well-placed claymore end your chance of victory. Each player has 1 respawn, creating longer more thought-out attack / defend strategies. Eliminate enemy players, and cut off their reinforcements while you defuse. Bare-Bones Team Deathmatch Team Deathmatch with no perks and no air support. Hardcore Free for All Free For All with Hardcore Settings. Team Elimination (Last Man Standing) 3 round Team Deathmatch w/ no respawns. Switch sides each round. Multi-Bomb Search and Destroy Search and Destroy but all attackers spawn with a bomb. The above additions would certainly spice things up, and we'll be hoping the team gets them out the door soon.

im so glad they came out with hardcore headquarters, because it being normal is the only reason i dont play. sudden death sabotauge sounds like search and destroy, and everything else sound sokay
Well, call of duty 4 hasn't had a lot of news like halo 3. It seems that after buying halo 3, there are always updates, new playlists, and new custom games to play every month or so. In other words, the ride isn't over. Call of duty just doesn't have that, so I stopped playing it once I got bored with all the maps and the playlists. Bungie is just so much more involved with their community, and span out there content far better than the creators of call of duty 4.
Sounds uber awesome mega super duper fun, im mainly playing multi search, second chance search, and hardcore ricochet.
I have to agree with you there. Whenever CoD 4 had its single update I went on a spree of playing it for like maybe 3-4 weeks. Then, just like after I bought the game, it got boring. I still think it's a good game, just they need to be more involved.
Great. Finally some new ones and that most are good. Thanks for updatezzz. Because I don't look at COD4 anymore. I do play thoughzz.
Eh, at least they are doing something to change things up a bit. I won't be playing though, since I sold it a couple of days after I bought it. Just doesn't have the same appeal as Halo.
I love COD4 but for some unknown reason I get mad at people who say that it is so much better then Halo3, and for some reason I like the fact that Halo 3 is still at the top with most players against COD4.
for multi-bomb, when it says all attackers spawn with a bomb, does that mean all players on the attacking team have a bomb or both teams have a bomb?
Well maybe I will have a reason to pop that game in my 360 again. Multi bomb search and destroy would be awesome.
This new update is seriously going to be great, they all sound pretty awesome. But I like the 2 new S&Ds and the Sabotage. Going to be freakin' awesome =)
