Ho Ho Ho! It’s Christmas on CoD4!
It’s Christmas time again, and so the better sort of private servers are running Christmas variations of their popular map rotations. This is mostly always a fan effort but occassionally official creators will get involved and delivery us gems like Winter Crash, an enduring classic.
