The Xbox 360 Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack will be available this week. This is the word from Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling (aka fourzerotwo) who silenced rumours that the map pack had been delayed to the 10th of April.

Rumours of the 10th of April delay started circulating after the COD4 Game of the Year website started them. Bowling commented “As of right now we’re pushing certification for an on-time release for April 3rd or 4th. As of right now though, I’m being told that it’s a good chance it will be released worldwide (except for Japan) tomorrow night / early-Friday morning.”

“For those of you asking when you should take off work, I’d take off Friday, as it looks like they should be available late Thursday night / early Friday morning, which means Friday you should be able to play all day.”

He also confirmed that gamers with tokens from the Game of the Year edition can use them as soon as the map packs are available on Xbox Live. Until then make sure you check out a video of the new maps on Bowling’s site or head over to Xbox.com for more information on the maps.

The Variety Map pack includes four new multiplayer maps, namely Creek, Broadcast, Chinatown and Killhouse.
