It took awhile, but Infinity Ward finally got the message that World War II is played out. With modern times and international affairs becoming more and more, shall we say, interesting in recent years, the 1940s just don't carry as much weight as they used to. Perhaps that's why Call of Duty 4 has a new subtitle, Modern Warfare. By bringing things into a fictionalized story that still seems fairly plausible, the developer has made a much heavier game. But COD 4 is more than just an updated setting. It's also an amazing multiplayer first-person shooter and a great but brief single-player campaign with the visual chops to make it a standout shooter in an era filled with seemingly dozens of standout shooters. The only real catch is that the single-player is almost shockingly short. If you've been keeping up with this style of game, you'll probably shoot your way to the credits in under five hours. While you can raise the difficulty to give yourself more of a challenge, the main thing this does is make the enemies frustratingly deadly, which sort of detracts from the fun. While it may have a lack of single-player quantity, it makes up for most of it with its quality. The game tells its story from multiple perspectives, and you'll play as a new British SAS operative as well as a US Marine. The campaign takes you from a rainy night out at sea on a boat that's in the process of sinking to a missile silo where it's on you to save millions from an unsavory nuclear-powered death. Along the way, there are plenty of jaw-dropping moments where you'll look around the room for someone to whom you can say, "I can't believe that just happened." In a world filled with war games in which the good guys come out unscathed and the world is left at total peace, Call of Duty 4 will wake you up like a face full of ice water. The action in the campaign is usually very straightforward. You have a compass at the bottom of your screen, and the direction of your current objective is very plainly marked. But getting from point A to point B is never as simple as running in a straight line, as you'll be conducting full-scale assaults in Middle Eastern countries by moving from house to house, taking out what seems like a never-ending stream of enemy troops along the way. You'll also get an opportunity to raid Russian farmhouses in search of terrorist leaders, disguise yourself as the enemy, and, in one sequence, don a brushlike ghillie suit and crawl through the brush as enemy troops and tanks roll right past you. It's a breathtaking moment in a campaign filled with breathtaking moments. Unfortunately, it's about half as long as the average shooter, and there are plenty of sequences where you wish there were just one or two more hills to take. Of course, if you're looking for longevity, that's where the multiplayer comes in. Up to 18 players can get online and get into a match on one of 16 different maps. Many of the levels are taken from portions of the single-player and they offer a healthy mix of wide-open, sniper-friendly areas and tight, almost cramped spaces where grenades and shotguns are the order of the day. There are six game modes to choose from. The old standby is team deathmatch, though you can also play in a free-for-all deathmatch, which isn't as much fun as the team modes.Read full review
This game shatters ALL OTHER first person shooters out there. Call of Duty has reinvented itself as well as helping move the first person's genre along to a completely new level. Call of Duty 4 IS the new revolution of gaming. Story: 9/10 From the moment you first pop this game in you will be in for one wild roller coaster ride. The game is so in-depth, and so interesting it will keep you strapped to your seat for hours on end!! Between the diverse missions, different weapons, items, vehicles, and characters this story packs quite a punch!! The only criticism on this storyline is that its short.... very short. I beat it on one of the harder difficulties in less than three days. Graphics: 10/10 For those who thought gears of war had the best, allow me to introduce the new king of next-gen graphics. EVERYTHING... and I mean everything is beautiful. The explosions, bullets, shock waves, grenades, characters, lighting, ground, sky, airplanes, and everything in between have never looked to so good on a console game until now. From silently stalking through the sniper mission to a high stake shootout in a tv broadcast building, this game will make you stop and admire what infinity ward has done for you. Bullets leave their mark and can now pass through walls and other obstacles. Rockets now leave realistic smoke trails and the sight of a helicopter spinning out of control is breath taking. You will find yourself so memorized by the graphics of the action and scenery that you might just have to re-start from the last checkpoint!! Controls 10/10 The layout for the controls is the basic FPS layout... very easy to use and even customizable. The Right trigger is fire, the left trigger is the zoom on your sight, the y button switches weapons, the right bumper throws grenades. Your gear is managed using the d pad, with up being used for night vision, down for c4, right for claymores, and the left for your weapon attachments. Think halo controls with a few extras. Sound 10/10 The most realistic bullets and explosions you will find next to being in a war yourself. This really feels/sounds like your at the shooting range firing off a few rounds. From the sound as you empty out your weapon, to bullets whizzing by you and taking out your comrades, this game is a master of the audio. If you plan on getting this game, GET A GOOD SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM. You will literally be blow away. Multi-Player 10/10 Where to start with this? The multiplayer in COD4 is one (if not THE) best in a game to date. You think halo did multi player right? Well they did, but think Halo x10... It far surpasses Halo as the new benchmark for online FPS gaming. As you earn kills, head shots, grenade kills, and other aspects your rank goes up and you earn new weapons and abilities. This unlocks rank, weapons, weapon attachments, camo, challenges, and a ton of other stuff. This leads me to my next criteria... Weapons System 9/10 The weapons system is amazing!!! Tons of different primary weapons, sidearms, and specialties. There is a huge array of weapons from a light machine gun to a .50cal Sniper rifle. Attachments are very customizable in multilayer, although I wish the would have more available. Overall, you will not be disappointed with the weapon Fun 10/10 Never have I had this much fun with a game. Storyline is great (although short as mentioned above) but the multilayer will keep you going for a long time!!! Great fun, great re-playability, GREAT GAME!!!Read full review
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the Xbox 360 has won numerous awards, including the Game of the Year award. It has great graphics, a great "story line" (I don't know what else to call it), and is still wildly popular among Live players worldwide. When COD5 came out, I sold our copy of COD4 to help offset the cost of the new version. When it arrived, we were very disappointed in the new version. There are a lot of "bugs" in it and the gameplay was very frustrating. It was not at all as advertised. So what did I do? I re-bought COD4 and we are finally experiencing some relief from our frustrations!! The biggest flaw in the COD games are that you can't play in MATCHMAKING on Live with more than one person on the same box. If someone has found a way to get past this, I would love to know. But other than that problem, the game is fun, intense, very in-your-face and has plenty of support and members in matchmaking. I found the game play on this to be easier than that of Halo 3, and unlike H3, it actually shows you a death camera, so you can see what you did wrong when you died, where your enemy came from and where you could go next time you encountered that situation. There are plenty of maps too! Just keep in mind that some parents may not want this game for there children, so please do more research before buying. There are some pretty gory situations in the game. Also, try it out on campaign before playing on Live. There are lots of options and lots of ways to get a better edge in the game (the better your weapons, the better your kill-to-death ratio, the more "rewards" you receive like even better weapons, helicopters, air strikes, etc...). Great game and better than and more dependable than COD5. Thanks & EnJoY!!Read full review
If you are looking for a game that is easy to get into and surprisingly realistic, then this is the game for you. I have played various shooters and many of them are similar but I would say that the sheer realism of this game makes it stand out from the rest. I have always purchased the Halo games but Halo 3, in my opinion, takes a back seat to Call of Duty 4. Before you crucify me, listen to The campaign mode of COD4 is highly addictive which is usually not the case with shooters. Also, the multiplayer mode allows for quick level up and plenty of rewards (in the form of weapons and add-ons) for putting your time into the game. This game of the year edition also includes some new maps that will add to the variety already experienced in this great game.
The game is outstanding, online play makes it a legendary 360 title. One important thing to realize is that there are 2 different Game of the Year editions. One carries the code for the variety map pack and says so on the box, the other just says it is the Game of the Year edition. Don't be fooled into purchasing the game without the variety map pack as Activision clearly has their hands in a little bit of a bait and switch tactic.
