Here are the changes, the same as last time. This patch does not include the PERMANENT care package exploit as Infinity Ward has been working on. But it does fix the current easy simple way for the infinite care package exploit.

• Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
• Fix for “infinite care package” exploit.
• Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
• Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
• Fixes to prevent various XP hacks (including the prevention of negative XP)

Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling tweeted 10 hours ago that the Care Package, Sentry Gun and Emergency Airdrop Glitch has been fixed on the PC version. It has already been fixed on Xbox 360 and PS3 but only when the patch arrives on the consoles. There is no time estimate as to when though, this is still going through Microsoft’s Approval and Certification process.

fourzerotwo tweeted the following:

@NFunmaker That’s already been patched on the PC version and will be included in the next patch for consoles.

when NFunmaker asked the following:

@fourzerotwo you guys looking into the new unlimited care package/emergency airdrop glitch?

At 8AM CST (9AM EST, 6AM PST) in the morning Treyarch’s Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 will be released along with a title update. With this new map pack for 800MS points, you get 3 new maps to play online with and 1 new map for Zombie mode.

The title update addresses the following issues:

• All rifle grenades fired during the first 15 seconds of S&D will be duds to prevent griefing in that game mode.
• Improvements have been made to the global spawn system – players should never spawn within the line of sight of an enemy.
• Players who equip the Bouncing Betty and melee teammates in Hardcore game modes are now credited with a team kill penalty.
• Players are now deducted 200 points for team killing the bomb planter/defuser in Hardcore S&D.
• Martyrdom no longer causes “direct impact” grenade deaths in Hardcore modes.
• Players ranked higher than the maximum allowed in the Boot Camp playlist are no longer able to play in games with lower ranked friends in that playlist.
• “Bayonet jumping” has been disabled.
• Further improvements have been made to geographical matchmaking.
• The “New” icon clears when a player has viewed an unlocked weapon (X360 only).
• Many zombies were raised from the dead.

I was able to buy 4 early copies of Call of Duty World at War tonight around 8PM. GameStop was not only selling them to those who pre-ordered it but some were selling them to just anyone too.

Forgot to write about this earlier but Infinity Ward (those behind COD1, COD2 and most recent masterpiece COD4) are confirmed to be making COD6.

There are no further details about it though. Only that one of the greatest gaming companies will be back to making another Call of Duty title. There have been rumors it will take place in the future but who knows. They should stay where they left off though in Call of Duty 4.

Read information along with viewing a picture of upcoming CoD5’s, Call of Duty: World at War Collector’s Edition at Joystiq.

MajorNelson has posted some new screenshots of the new Xbox Experience: Themes and Friends Channels. Take a look at them here.

The new Xbox Experience will be released late fall. But here is some news for the Games Played tracker. By selecting your Gamertag, you will see a number of slides behind that Gamertag representing the games you own. The first slide will represent how much Gamerscore you have and then after that how much maximum out of your game collection is achievable. Below that is also displays how many achievements you have and how many are possible to get still out of the games you have played. Pretty cool to know! Also for as many games you own, you will have that many slides.
