• PvE elements are being added to this PvP Zone, for example the equivalent of Elemental Plateau in Outland is in Lake Wintergrasp.
• Siege Combat will be in both Lake Wintergrasp and the new Battleground (see below)
• Siege vehicles incude air combat with flying vehicles.
• You can destroy the buildings within Lake Wintergrasp and in the Battleground.
• Lake Wintergrasp will feature an attack/defend game type. Just like the Auchindoun Spirit Towers, when your faction holds a tower it will keep it for a certain amount of time and retain all the advantage for a few hours.
• Northrend "Spirit Shards" will be used to reward players. When your faction controls Lake Wintergrasp all the bosses in Northrend will start dropping them. You can then use these shards to buy rewards from a merchant, they won't be more powerful any other reward but just an alternative to other sources of equipement (like gearing up for PvP very quickly).
• "Wintergrasp Marks of Honor" will drop as well and will be redeemable for items through the honor system and other NPCs.
• Bridges will be used as "choke point" in the map, siege vehicles can't travel through water.
• The goal of Lake Wintergrasp is to capture the "Wintergrasp Keep", everything in that keep is destructable and you will have to break into the keep to capture the point.
• Players will be able to control stationnary cannons on each tower to defend the keep.
• Bridges are very large and very tall, players should be able to see them from anywhere in the map. They're also totally destructable as well.

Yep, that’s right another patch has been officially released for call of duty 4, just weeks after the previous 1.6 patch was released. The cod4 1.7 patch fixes the following issues.

Here is exactly what the patch changes; it corrects an problem that allowed players to mess with console dvars on multiplayer server matches. It fixes a crash that happens when a Sabotage matches on Chinatown are tied and go into over time. Finally it corrects a language error where game icons would show up in English even if the original copy of the game was in a different language. Again no huge changes but it is important to download it so you can play on all servers and so Call of Duty runs more smoothly.

The game is not called Call of Duty 5, it’s Call of Duty: World at War. It is being developed by Treyarch (Call of Duty 3, Spider-Man series), not original series and Call of Duty 4 developer Infinity Ward. And unlike the latter, World at War brings the franchise back into World War II, which is a proving to be a hot topic of discussion for gamers, mostly because everyone really, really liked the modern-era CoD4.

But hey, I think we need to give Treyarch the benefit of the doubt here. The studio knows they are under tons of pressure to deliver a game that lives up to the high expectations set by CoD4, and it’s setting out to do something different with World War II. And seeing as how World at War is built on Infinity Ward’s CoD4 engine, it can’t be all bad.
