PC Gamers Also Get CoD: World at War Map Pack 3 DLC via 1.6 Patch

Activision's Call of Duty franchise is one of the biggest series of video games in the world. It has gained critical acclaim thanks to the fourth installment, subtitled Modern Warfare, and with the most recent one, World at War, it solidified its presence in the first person shooter genre.

The video game enjoyed massive amounts of popularity thanks to the fact that it has been heavily supported by the team at Treyarch after its release at the end of last year. Besides offering patches and other things, the team also released three downloadable map packs, which contained both new settings for the multiplayer mode and new scenarios for the cooperative zombie one.

The latest one, Map Pack 3, hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles two weeks ago. Now, the community manager for Treyarch, Josh Olin, has confirmed to Call of Duty forum goers that the third downloadable map pack will also hit the PC platform soon enough, thanks to the 1.6 patch, which will be released in due time.

“As with the previous two Map Packs, Map Pack 3 will indeed be coming to the PC – the team is hard at work on it and I'll let you know when it's in test,” Olin said. “As such, there will be a Patch 1.6 as well, which will address some additional game issues. When I have details on what else will be included in the patch I will be sure to post them. We appreciate your patience as always, and look forward to its release as much as you do!”

So it definitely seems that PC users won't get the short stick of the downloadable content this time. One thing is for certain though, a lot of studios really have something to learn from the Treyarch team, as a lot of other companies just release priced DLC for the consoles and completely forget that PC users have also paid 60 dollars in order to enjoy a full game and would pay another amount of money for more content.
