This is depressing. I thought EA had become so much better than Activision, but then they started charging too much for Burnout Paradise DLC (admittedly the pricing was better for Big Surf Island) and now this? Isn't the L4D survival pack useless unless you are already on Xbox Live? Thanks...

UPDATE: Robert Bowling from Infinity Ward was kind enough to provide me with a free token to download the Variety Map Pack. In my thank you letter, I tried to convey the fact that the descriptions of the game on many websites continue to state that the map pack is included and it would help...

Strell, the point of this thread is to inform people of what they should expect if they buy this game. You are entitled to your opinion about whose fault it is. I'm not the only one who got bitten by this and I am trying to prevent it from happening to other people.

If you expect consumers to read every COD4 thread on every gaming forum to find this out I think you're expecting a lot. The COD4 thread on this site alone is hundreds of pages long and there were only a few scattered posts about it. When many other mainstream sites like IGN continue to say...

The only reason I assume this specific GOTYE has additional content is because this is exactly what Activision said in an advertising campain including several press releases when the game was released. None of these press releases state that the additional content will only be available for a...

Strell, thanks for doing a great job playing Devil's Advocate. However, I do not think any of us should just say that we should expect to get screwed and there is nothing we can do about it. We can do something about it and that is making sure the information is out there so that people can...

Thanks Wombat!

I can see how you might think that this is a mild offense, but I actually disagree. This kind of marketing tactic is specifically targeted at more casual gamers who are unlikely to ever visit a gaming forum to search for this kind of information. These consumers will think the "Game of the Year"...

Thanks for the tip. I sent him an e-mail today. I'll let you all know if he responds.

Wombat and CheapyD, Two things: 1) I would like Wombat to let me know if the "All American" hamburger place on Merrick Road in Massapequa is still open. I grew up in Seaford and I used to love that place. 2) I recently started a thread on the CAG Forums regarding what might be considered...

So I did some digging in the Xbox 360 COD4 thread and found a link to the following NeoGAF thread. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=340243 (Here is the CAG page where I found the link: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144887&highlight=COD4&page=304) It looks...

Oh well. It was worth a shot. Thanks anyway for your feedback.

Cool. I'm glad we were able to get you the info before you make the purchase.

Hi Wolvinator. I only wish I had posted this earlier so that you wouldn't be in the same situation as me.

I'm just a regular guy who loves games. I hardly ever post on forums, but I do listen to a lot of gaming podcasts and read gaming websites. I've been following the CAGcast for a while and I figured this site was the best place to post this information as it was likely to benefit the most...

The artwork is different on the box and on the game disc. That's it.

Hi Strell. If you could dig up a link where this was discussed, I'd appreciate it as I have not found any prior to this week's weekly ad deals post.

That's just it. The games press is totally ignorant of the switcheroo Activision has pulled. They tend to look forward to games that have not yet been released, and tend to ignore games as old as COD4. Plus some media outlets might not want to blow the whistle for fear that Activision will deny...

It's good to know the maps aren't very good. I wasn't planning to buy them given the fact that I'm pretty miffed at Activision right now, but thanks for the info SlimJim!
