Call of Duty: World at War Gets Free Patch and Map

Call of Duty: World at War Gets Free Patch and Map
Written Thursday, February 26, 2009 by James Parkin

We wanted to let you know that the latest patch for Call of Duty: World at War has gone live for the Xbox 360. The update includes a new FREE map—Makin Day, which is a daytime variation of MP Makin. Aside from the new dynamic the sunlight adds to the experience, some paths and cover have been modified to change-up the gameplay experience.

      Addressed in Title Update 2:
    * Added support for downloadable maps – free downloadable map “Makin Day” now available to Xbox 360.
    * Improved geographical matchmaking.
    * Nazi Zombies is now unlocked for solo & co-op games for EVERYONE in both private and public games!
    * Added defensive measures to prevent “Stats Reset” when corrupt data is detected.
    * Addressed issues where some solo progression data was lost when a player had collected Death Cards in a split-screen co-op game.
    * Patched all known MP map exploits – this fix will also prevent players from passing through geometry/terrain if a new hole is discovered.
    * Patched a number of Nazi Zombie exploits.
    * Addressed an issue commonly referred to as the “elevator glitch.”
    * Disabled “Rocket Jumping” – this eliminates the extra boost created by all explosive weapon types.
    * Addressed some score reporting anomalies in the War and CTF leaderboards.
    * Blocked the ability of players with lower level accounts from accessing higher-level Perks.
    * Addressed an issue in Search & Destroy where bomb planting/defusing was disabled when opening the overhead map.
    * Disabled ability to get unlimited ammo when prone with a deployed bipod.
    * Addressed an issue with Bouncing Betties triggering when the player is within the detonation radius but behind a solid wall.
    * Improved squad functionality.
    * Fixed an exploit where Hardcore matches could be ended immediately by team killing.
 
 
If you sign in and can't seem to get the Title Update yet, chances are you were playing CoD:WaW earlier this morning just as the TU was releasing. In this instance, waiting a few hours will clear it up for you. Alternatively, you can follow these instructions to clear your Xbox 360 cache, and download the TU immediately =).
 
      To clear your cache:
    * Go to the Xbox Dashboard, select the System Blade, and select Memory.
    * Highlight the HD symbol and press Y.
    * Press X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X.
 
      To download Makin Day:
    * Go to Xbox LIVE Marketplace
    * Browse All Games
    * Scroll to "Call of Duty: WAW"
    * Select "All Downloads"
    * Tab over to "Most Recent" -> Makin Bonus map.
 
      Or just click the button that will appear in-game after you download the TU!

@ #4 i don't understand how you can judge COD:WAW as a bad game, i think it's great apart from a few small bugs.

Not much different, apart from day-time (obviously) and low tide. Got a 7-kill-streak hiding behind a boat earlier! LOL!

More in depth discussion in the forums at this thread: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=129000 Being free can't complain about the map...someone mentioned low tide...does that mean you can't hide from the dogs anymore in the water?

it'd be neat if longer matches had a day-night transition mid-game

@13 yeah that's what the f@ck I'm talking about that is what we need! Balls! That would be great.

Agreed with #13

Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 02:18:22 PM

@13 and 14....hell yeah that would be sweet as hell. The Makin day map is pretty sweet, they added some fences back in the jungle for more cover so thats pretty sweet, and theres building you can get on the deck of now by climbing a ladder(its the building right when you come out of the river). The low tide is weird it looks strange, now since there is low tide you can get under buildings that you couldn't before.

I think the map pack comes out next month so that will be sweet.

Guess what you can team kill as much as you want without getting kicked! They didn't fix it! Pull out your bouncing betty and knive the person, as long as your holding a betty you can team kill as much as you want. Know its kinda lame but if you got a team-mate thats a huge deuscher you can kill him over and

Comment #17 by Reclaiming Dawn
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 02:32:19 PM

it'd change the entire tone of the match, (i've not played WaW) but like in Search and Destroy or something.. maybe one team is made up of guys who like hiding and being sneaky and careful, and there's certain locations that would be perfect to move stealthily through in the dark.. the other team will have to play a whole different game in order to track their enemies down

or like...
you could coordinate the fighting to hold off the enemy team until dusk/night in-game, and execute a stealth operation then

hell, have a whole gametype built around defending and sneaking in the daytime/evening respectively

would be rad

Still waiting for this to go down to $20. It may take a year, but I'll wait.

Good work on the patch tho. Free map is a great plus too.

I like CoD4 a lot more, too, but free stuff is good stuff!

Comment #38 by mroyboy182
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 06:02:22 PM

never a huge fan of this game, I think COD4 was better. I would probably buy the DLC if there were some multiplayer achievements, I think that would give me incentive to play more. In MW 2 I think it would be cool to see a cover system

Comment #39 by Tim 13
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 06:16:11 PM

Yeah, this game still sucks, but that's kind of cool.

But, they really didn't correct the glitch where high levels can get into the Boot Camp game mode? For those that don't know, boot camp is supposed to be regular team deathmatch for levels no higher than 7 or 8, I believe. Level 65's manage to get in, and it looks like this patch didn't address it.

Infinity Ward, hurry up on MW2.

This actually sounds like a worthwhile update! Big ups to Treyarch

can you people stop saying call of duty 5.....its not part 5.....they are actually making a part 5....its like grand theft auto 3 and then you had vice city....vice city wasnt part 4 as we all can c....just wanted to clear that up....people sound stupid when you say 5

Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 08:47:45 PM

I'm not sure but I think the update changed one of the M1A1 Carbine's attachmets. Instead of having a rifle grenade it has a box clip. Was it always like this or am I right?

@43

always had box clip

they need to patch the knife team kill and get no negative score in HC

haha I didn't even know about some of these. but does this mean we can split screen zombies if we have two live accounts?

Why does everybody want to do glitches....It makes the game unfun...

Comment #61 by DemonI81
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 09:39:25 AM

@ #59
Seriously? Really? Dude, do you really need glitches to win?
I stopped playing WaW mainly because of all the glitches and the people exploiting them. I might play it again now, IF everything Treyarch says about the patch is true. I guess the only way to find out though is to play it again. Catch 22.

Finally they have fixed the Betty's - HOORRAHHH.

Comment #63 by STEVO91
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 10:38:50 AM

if your reason 4 not playing the game is because there is no glitches then u have no life and just plain sad..

Comment #64 by Darren Ford
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 10:40:09 AM

Not only did they fix all known glitches, but they area released a FREE map! This is a good day for WaW!

Comment #65 by smallskillzu
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 10:40:35 AM

Good fixes but the Map just makes them look lazy... Makin Day reely...

Comment #66 by DemonI81
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 11:07:34 AM

@ #65
You realize this is Treyarch, the epitome of lazy.

Comment #67 by McGril
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 12:40:05 PM

65- They're already bringing out four completely new maps, I doubt they'd make a never-before-seen map free. The fact is they wanted to give us a free map and so Makin Day was created. Show some god damn gratitude.

Saturday, February 28, 2009 @ 07:04:02 AM

Cool, glad they've fixed some glitches.

Comment #69 by Tribes V3X
Saturday, February 28, 2009 @ 11:01:46 AM

Hey, atleast they are giving us a new free map and fixing all those stupid glitches. I think CoD: WaW is a good game the only problems with it are the spawns and weapon balancing issues other than that it is a good MP game.

Comment #70 by McGril
Saturday, February 28, 2009 @ 11:32:11 AM

Since the patch, whenever I unlock a new weapon attatchment the word 'new' in create-a-class won't disappear. Is anyone else getting this issue?

Comment #71 by I RYAN 3 I
Saturday, February 28, 2009 @ 12:30:01 PM

i have not played this map online yet, but it seems okay. least they are trying. still think they shouldn't have gone back to the second world war.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
