Call of Duty 2 Patch Info

Infinity Ward has sent in a press release pertaining to information about the long awaited updates to “Call of Duty 2″ on the Xbox360 and PC. A lot of folks have been complaining that the game’s multiplayer aspect is unplayable and practically broken due to a of series bugs that should have been quashed before the game even hit store shelves. Without any further delay, here’s the official word from Infinity Ward about updates for both versions.

As you recall, back in December, we announced plans to incorporate
Punkbuster, as well as offer some MP maps to the PC version for Call of Duty
2. We’re happy to report that this PC update is currently in testing and
all is going well. In fact, we are testing these now and will be releasing
them soon, so stay tuned. With regards to the update, here are a few things
to look forward to:

* Punkbuster functionality

* Two new multiplayer maps.

* HTTP redirect in multiplayer, which adds an option for modders to
send players to an external website to download their maps and mods.

* Repair of multiplayer exploits and minor bug fixes

We’re also putting finishing touches on the map editing tools for the game
and will have those out very soon as well.

On the Xbox 360 side, we’re also happy to tell you that we’re very close to
releasing our second Title Update, improving the Xbox Live multiplayer
functionality. Here’s what’s coming in that update:

1. Player Lag has been addressed
2. Private Game Lobbies / Reserved Slots
3. Enable Live Host to set custom game options
4. Map Preferences setting
5. Post Game Lobbies (players at end of match will return to lobby)
