[cod] Mailing list for Call of Duty 4

[Geoff Goas]

posted by fourzerotwo over at the IW forums:

As Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a Windows game, there's typically
little official word on Linux support. However, we typically contract out as
someone noted for Linux files to be made post-launch. This time around
however, I know we've been working with them to work on the Linux support in
conjunction with our official Windows release, but none of that is official.

I believe it was our intention to hopefully line up Linux file releases at
the same time as launch but last I heard it was taking them a bit longer so
they should / hopefully be out shortly after launch. Again, Linux support
isn't done by us here IW so we can't promise any timelines / support for
that, but as I said we've made sure to be working with those who do, do the
linux files to get them out sooner and closer to launch this time around.
