'Call of Duty 2' Patch Being Tested, Coming Soon!

by Rainier on Feb. 24, 2006 @ 1:53 p.m. PST

Call of Duty 2 lets players experience four individual soldier stories as they overcome insurmountable odds in multiple campaigns. Players have the freedom to follow each of the four storylines through for the ultimate character-driven experience, or they can engage in the historic battles chronologically for quick hitting action.

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:

  • Player Lag has been addressed
  • Private Game Lobbies / Reserved Slots
  • Enable Live Host to set custom game options
  • Map Preferences setting
  • Post Game Lobbies (players at end of match will return to lobby)
  • Enemy Player Name Notification
  • Kick Player (host ability)
  • Lobby Game Type, Map and Host Notification
