The next time you connect to Xbox Live and pop in Call of Duty 4 you'll be treated to an auto-update with the new patch. This patch, which has been a long time coming, makes several significant additions and modifications that will be quickly noticed when playing online.
Most important is the addition of host migration. When playing a game, if the host quits, the game pauses, a new host is assigned and the game resumes. This is a vast improvement over the original system, which simply kicked everyone out into individual lobbies.
Kill cams have been added to pretty much every tool of death. This includes air strikes and grenades. Now you can watch the bomb drop from a plane and land on your head.
An upgraded spectator cam allows you to switch between third- and first-person views. You can also rotate the camera in third-person view.
The most significant gameplay change affects those who like killing from long range. Infinity Ward had heard complaints that sniper shots were inaccurate. After doing some research, IW discovered that, indeed, sniper shots were not as precise as they should be. Expects snipers to be more deadly online. ACOG scopes also got a tweak.
A complete list of patch fixes is forthcoming. We'll update this story when it becomes available.
