After hearing the cries of European Call of Duty 4 fans, Infinity Ward has decided to shift the game's downloadable content release schedule; the upcoming Variety Map Pack will now hit PlayStation 3 systems worldwide on Apr. 24.

Previously slated for a delayed release on May 1 in Europe, the pack includes four new maps for the realistic military shooter and will set you back $10 on release.

With delays so common among developers throughout the gaming industry, it's refreshing to see something, anything being bumped forward. Still, I wonder why the staggered release schedule was ever announced if it was at all possible to avoid upsetting European gamers in the first place.

Spite, maybe?
