UPDATED: The patch has officially gone live as of this afternoon.
Robert Bowling, the Director of Communications and Community Manager for Infinity Ward, has confirmed that Sony is in the final stages of certifying the patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
According to Bowling, the patch will “definitely” be released at some point this week, although an exact date has yet to be revealed. More information on a firm release date is expected shortly.
The Feature Patch is set to include the following content:
- Optimized servers
- New Kill cams (grenades, RPG's, airstrikes, claymores, and more)
- Quick Mute (allows user to mute annoying players by pressing X on their gamertag in the lobby)
- Addition of "Recently Met Players" for the PlayStation Network
- Improvements to the Sniper Rifles and Acog attachments (no more delayed shots)
Stay tuned.

@ Princevegeta1980 No one cares you were first, when are you lamers going to learn. You guys remind of the dork kid with glasses who spits when talks on Robot Chicken.
About time on the patch. We have been waiting for this. Better late then never I guess. I'm with everyone else though. New maps would be nice. Maybe some more "shipment like" maps would be cool too.

They need to address the HOST issue. It is so damn annoying that a moron of a host can just end a room by leaving during the middle of a good match. To my knowledge COD4 is the only game that does that crap !!!! arrrrgggghhhh

Man...whats up with the no rumble support. And the host migration issue as mentioned before. Additionally met players is nice, but it would have been better to have player status inclued....so you know that your buddy is in a game and can leave them the heIl alone. I am with Darkblade1, its a PSN ID not a frickin' gamertag.....to think here on PSU a mistake like that can be made. Simple...yes, but still weak sauce Mike...tighten up playa!

I've got a rumble dualshock 3 controller I bought off Ebay, but theres no way I'm gonna use it on COD even if they do offer rumble support in the future. COD has wreaked the left stick of my other normal sixaxis contoller becasue of the L3 run action. You need to do a lot of running around in COD and so you constantly have to keep clicking down the L3 button built into the Left stick and now because of this it doesn't work as well as it used too. It would of been better if they used the Resitance run action where you just have to flick the L2 button, which doesn't wreak the controller. It would also of been nice if they could of enabled you to tweak the controls to what you want, but I doubt that will ever come out in an update.
