Free Call of Duty: World at War iPhone App Released
by Chris Faylor, Aug 04, 2009 2:00pm PDTWith the third multiplayer map pack for Call of Duty: World at War hitting PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in just a few days, developer Treyarch today launched a free application that lets players track in-game stats and news from an iPhone or iPod Touch.
To fully utilize the "Call of Duty: World at War Companion," players must first link their PlayStation Network or Xbox Live identities to their account at codwaw.com. Those playing on PC are unable to take full advantage of the app's stat-tracking functionality.

In addition, publisher Activision provided top-down "schematics" of the four new arenas contained in Map Pack #3, which will sell for 800 Microsoft Points ($10) when it hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this Thursday, August 6. No word as to when the new maps will hit PC, though Packs #1 and #2 both debuted on PC a bit later as free updates.
Comments
In the end console customers are being charged almost double the money for the same content as PC customers. $90 for the game and 3 map packs vs. just $50 on the PC. Map Pack 3 should cost the same amount for PC, or else it should never be released on PC.
