id Software has released three new multiplayer maps for Raven Software's sci-fi FPS Quake 4.

Railed – Set in an abandoned, rusting Strogg facility, the environment in Railed produces fast paced frenetic tournament action. This new map is all about close-quarters combat and hair-trigger reflexes as players hustle through the winding, multi-tiered corridors. Designed particularly for tournament play, Railed also supports Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch game modes, and is guaranteed to provide some thrilling fast-action gameplay.

Tremors – Built within a twisting underground cavern and peppered throughout with pipes, bridges, and catwalks, Tremors demands tactical expertise. Enemies attack from above and below in the enormous, multi-tiered environment, making team-play invaluable. Tremors is perfect for huge Capture-The-Flag games, and also supports the Arena Capture-The-Flag gameplay mode.

Campgrounds Redux – With QUAKE 4's updated technology, Campgrounds Redux now has a fresh look and feel, revitalizing this QUAKE III classic. Excellent for any number of players, this updated version supports Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Tournament modes, where hard-core QUAKE fans can get crazy with this throw-back to one of their old favorites.Get the Quake 4 Quakemas map pack (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=30684) (23mb) over at WorthPlaying.

I wonder when/if they'll release this for the 360 version of Quake4.

I suggest fixing the terrible framerate first. I doubt it'll happen though.

"Quakemas". . . lol. Don't let any famous philandering fundamentalists hear that title or they'll be able to get some news out of it. Whee!

I was just about to say that. SOMEBODY had to realize they were going to annoy a section of the public with the name "Quakemas." Quite literally replacing Christ with Quake. Bwahahah.

Doesn't all of the satanic imagery in iD's games do that already?

I think it's more that people who don't like Quake 4 have resigned themselves to the fact that there are people who are enjoying it...because it's basically just a tech upgrade to vanilla deathmatch and FPS singleplayer games. There will always be an audience for that type of game.

Terrible framerate? Compared to what? Only HL2 has it beaten.

Quake4 DM rocks. I so missed Quake deathmatch. You call it vanilla, I call it the only good DM game in existence after Quake3.

I'm never going to touch Quake 4 again, but I do approve of free extra content.

What terrible framerate? Certainly it isn't as smooth as DOOM 3 on the Xbox, but it isn't bad. It isn't nearly as bad or even as noticable as Gamespot's review made it seem.

I can't say I noticed any issues with the framerate either. I took my time and have played alot of the game, and have really enjoyed the multiplayer aspects as well. I think I've had more fun with Quake4 than PD so far =)

The so-called framerate issues are inflated. I've been playing the game quite a bit, and it's perfectly playable and a lot of fun. People are way to critical lately.
