Attention Modders: Infinity Ward wants YOU… to do their job. Sort of.

The makers of Call of Duty 4 are looking for new maps, and they’re going to outsource the job to the unlimited creativity of rabid Call of Duty fans.

They’ve set up a contest looking for the best user created map, with the winner receiving an unspecified prize.

On March 31st, we’re going to be choosing our favorite community made maps and award the map makers of our favorites picks with special prizing and opportunities which we can’t announce just yet but will be in the very near future (probably within a week).

However the clock is ticking to get your map designed, as I said, we’ll be choosing our favorite community made custom multiplayer maps on March 31st.

What will this mysterious prize be? As someone famous once said, “Well, dude, we just don’t know.” Presumably the winner will get to see their creation made available to the masses, which in itself makes this contest worth a shot. But the added prize incentive should have many fans frothing at the mouth. Who knows, maybe the winner will be offered a job?

To find out more please visit Infinity Ward’s website.

One thing’s certain: Infinity Ward has come up with a brilliant way to add new content without doing much work.
