If you’re one of the few people on the planet who don’t already own a copy ofCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare— and if so, you probably either don’t like FPSes or are destitute — then Activision has just the deal for you! They’ve just shipped the Game of the Year Edition forCall of Duty 4, which was one of 2007’s top-selling games. It retails for $59.99 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
You may be thinking to yourself, “Why should I buy this edition over the original version, especially when I can get the old one for less than $60?” Well, here’s the skinny. Have you heard about thenew map pack that just came out on Xbox Live? It costs 800 Microsoft Points (in real money, that’s ten American dollars), but guess what? The GOTY Edition ofCoD 4comes with a “token” to download the map pack (again, it’s a $10 value) for free!
The press release (after the jump) makes no mention of the PS3 version of the GOTY Edition, but if you check outits listing on Amazon.com, it says this: “The Game of the Year Edition includes a code that allows players to download the Variety Map Pack, a $10 value for free on the PlayStation Network.” So presumably, PS3 owners will be able to download the map pack for free when it comes out on the PSN in three weeks.
But there’s another special surprise for Xbox 360 owners who playCoD 4. In conjunction with today’s launch of the map pack, Xbox Live is currently hosting a Double XP Weekend. So from Friday, April 4 through Sunday, April 6, you’ll be able to work toward your next Prestige mode twice as fast! If you’re not already on Xbox Live with the new maps, hopefully you’ll be there duringFriday Night Fights. Hop to it! If you don’t buy the GOTY Edition and/or download the map pack,the terrorists win!
