Infinity Ward’s announced a week of promotions for the PS3 version of Call of Duty 4, running from tomorrow, September 18, to September 25.

This weekend will yield double XP for all online PS3 CoD4 players, and the Variety Map Pack will drop to $5 for the entire week.

Have a look at Rob Bowling’s blog for developer PSN IDs, if you fancy getting some expert action.

Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling has confirmed that this weekend – September 13 and 14 – will grant Call of Duty 4 players double XP.

In addition, those of you that still haven’t bought the Variety Map Pack will be able to do so for half price, or 400 MS Points, over the same period.

From FourZeroTwo:

Heads up for international users purchasing the Variety Map Pack for the PS3. The Variety Map Pack is Region Locked, which means that you MUST purchase the version of the map pack which is compatible with the version of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game disc that you have.

For example:

If you have the GERMAN version of the game, you MUST purchase the GERMAN version of the map pack.

If you have the UK version of the game, you MUST purchase the UK version of the map pack.

Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling just announced that the PS3 version of Call of Duty 4′s Variety Pack will now release on April 24 in Europe as well as the US, not on May 1 as previously announced. From Rob’s blog:

Last week I let you guys know that the Variety Map Pack would be hitting PSN on April 24th for North America and May 1st for Europe, well NOT ANYMORE! I’m happy to say we’ve been pushing this past week and with the help of Sony Europe, are happy to announce that the Variety Map Pack on PS3 will be coming out at the SAME TIME, worldwide on April 24th for $9.99!!

The Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Variety Map Packfor PS3 will be available on the PlayStation Network on Thursday April, 24 for both the US and Europe!

Happy days.

Activision’s announced that the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack has been downloaded from Live more than 1 million times since it launched nine days ago, a new record.

In the same period, Xbox Live members played more than 30 million COD4 sessions and shot though more than 32 million hours of gameplay.

“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare delivers one of the best online multiplayer experiences ever,” said Activision brand boss Will Kassoy. “We are excited to be able to expand that experience and deliver to fans a new variety of locations and environments which have all of the intensity they have come to expect with Call of Duty.”

According to Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling, the PS3 version of the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack has now passed Sony certification and has a solid release date for both the US and Europe.

“I have some great PS3 news for everyone! We have hammered out the details for the upcoming DLC and will be releasing the new Variety Map Pack on PS3 in North America on Thursday, April 24,” he said.

“In addition, We’re also really excited that the Map Pack passed Sony Europe certification and will be propped on the PlayStation Network on May 1.”

Infinity Ward director of communications Rob Bowling has confirmed that there’s going to be an update on the “potential” release of the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map pack for PC in the near future.

“We’re getting ready to announce official submission guidelines / location for the Community Map Contest. In the coming week or so we’re going to be letting you know where you can go to officially sign-up and submit your Custom Community Map on the PC,” he said, talking on his blog.

Bowling added: “I should also have some official news for you on the status of the potential map pack release on the PC along with the Community Map Contest news. So expect that news in the near future as well.”

“Potential” sounds a little ominous. The pack has already been released for PC and is working its way through PS3 certification. We’ll have more on this soon.

According to Infinity Ward, the PS3 version of the Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack is taking slightly longer than expected to move through Sony certification but is well on the way and will be available soon.

“I was originally hoping we’d have all the details finalized for the upcoming launch of the Variety Map Pack on the PS3 by last week, but it’s been taking a bit longer than expected,” said Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling on his blog. “The only thing we’re waiting on now is official dates, all the logistics are essentially worked out.

“I got word today that the Variety Map Pack for PS3 has went amazingly well through Certification at Sony and they plan on having it available on the brand spanking new PSN store in the coming weeks.”

The PS3 version of the now-released Variety map pack for Call of Duty 4 has now been sent to Sony for approval, Infinity Ward has confirmed.

“The Variety Map Pack DLC and patch required to add the maps to the game have went to certification at Sony last night,” said Robert Bowling. “We’re shooting for a worldwide simultaneous release, so all users can expect to have it at the same general time frame when it finishes certification. We’re working to see if we can secure a firm release date to pass along to you guys now, and I’ll post that as soon as I have it.”

The pack released for 360 last week, and is expected to hit around three weeks later for PS3.

If you’re as bored as we are, you’ll probably be thankful of the fact that Call of Duty 4′s Variety Map Pack will appear on Live at 2.30pm. The DLC adds the Chinatown, Creek, Killhouse and Broadcast that have been shown off amply in recent weeks. Have fun.

The Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack hasn’t been delayed at all, Infinity Ward’s confirmed, and should be available for download either today or tomrrow. There’s a new movie after the link, showing, you know, shooting. When post confirmation when the update’s released.

According to this, the 360 version of the Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4 has now been delayed until April 10. It was supposed to release this week. No reason has been given for the slip, but Infinity Ward said last week that the content had been sent to Microsoft for submission, so it may be something to do with that.

The PS3 version’s hitting three weeks after the 360 content.

A new video has been released showing one of the upcoming Call of Duty 4 Variety Pack multiplayer maps.

Infinity Wards’ Rob Bowling said the DLC had been sent to MS for approval last week, meaning we’re looking at a potential release of April 3 or 4. A PS3 version announce is forthcoming.

Watch the movie after the link.

According to Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling, “The new Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which is scheduled to be released on Xbox Live in the first week of April (3rd or 4th), was sent off to certification at Microsoft today.”

The PS3 version of the content will appear roughly three weeks later.

The news, however, isn’t so good if you’re a PC gamer: “Right now plans for the PC version are unannounced but we are working to bring PC users the same content in the future, however logistics are being worked out on how to make that happen.”

According to this, Activision is going to re-release Call of Duty 4 as a Game of the Year edition on 360 next month. It’ll be sold in a new box and include the upcoming Variety Pack DLC. No word on price yet, and almost certainly not worth it if you already own the game.
