Infinity Ward done with CoD4 DLC

Responding to users on the Xbox.com forums, Community Manager Robert Bowling breaks it down, citing the main reason as simply not having the resources.
"Every level designer/texture artist/environmental artist/etc. working on a new map for a previous game is one less working on a map for a future game," he says.
He mentions that the perfect scenario would be to ship with a ton of maps, and then release a lot of content for free. He says that "in a realistic development environment, it's near impossible," using Criterion (and their Burnout Paradise DLC) as an exception joking that they have "magical DLC fairies."
Their future plans? To have "a polished/stacked game at launch and a dedicated team for DLC post-launch while everyone else looks towards the future."
Hey, that sounds a lot like Criterion's "magical DLC fairy" set-up. Can you imagine an Infinity Ward-developed Call of Duty game with Burnout Paradise-style DLC support? Wake me up -- I must be dreaming.

I think they should drop the COD4 map pack price to 400.

Obviously as they've released WaW I don't see why they would release any for CoD4..

i think cod4 was a really good game, owning both of them now i do think that cod 4 is better. the only thing they have changed is maps, guns, perks.
