Infinity Ward is planning to patch Call of Duty 4 for Xbox 360 in the relatively near future to take care of various online issues.
Speaking on the game's official forum (http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,3042.0.html), IW's community relations manager explained that the update will optimise things like match-making and host-selection, among other tweaks.
These include the addition of host-migration, so if the host leaves a game it automatically chooses the next best host, as well as a new control scheme, improved network performance in 18-player games and other tweaks detailed on the thread.
Elsewhere, IW said that a separate update will solve an issue relating to corrupt profiles.
Neither update has a deployment date, but we'll let you know when they're out there.
Not that their absence seems to be doing Call of Duty 4 much harm. It's top of the UK sales charts, and Major Nelson's latest Live activity charts reveal that it is now second only to Halo 3 in terms of popularity, displacing Gears of War.
