Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Description

It doesn't matter what century it is. Democracy has its enemies, and from time to time those enemies need shooting at. With that in mind, Infinity Ward has taken its ever popular Call of Duty series out of the 1940s and World War II and into the modern era. You might have left behind the moral comfort to be had from knowing you're fighting Nazis, but now you get to play with all kinds of fancy modern doodads. Fighting as a U.S. Marine or a British SAS soldier, you'll travel the world, dropping into troubled hotspots through a twisting and turning story to defend truth, justice and?well, whatever qualifies as the American way these days. You'll fight with any of 70 new weapons and pieces of kit, including assault rifles with laser sites, claymore mines, .50 caliber sniper rifles, and M-249 SAW machine guns. Other fancy gadgets include night-vision goggles and ghillie suits for you to do your stealthy thing with. Naturally, it all comes with a dollop of next gen gloss, with the graphics overhauled and improved audio which includes realistic battle communications chatter. The multiplayer aspect builds on the experience provided in Call of Duty 2, with a create a class option allowing players to customise their gear, unlockables and perks coming out of experience points, and matchmaking and leaderboards.

This has to be a contender for game of the year. The storyline of the campaign rivals Bioshock, and the quality of the gameplay easily beats Halo. The graphics are amazing and some of the missions have to be seen to be believed! I can't say enough good things about this game!

A cracking game - great graphics, brill gameplay - varied levels on one player mode and superb gameplay online. Contendor for one of the best games on any format in my opinion. Everyone should play this game .... even those who usually avoid war games.

Call Of Duty 4 is one of the best games of 2007. Stunning graphics fluid natural feeling controls help to immerse you in a surprisingly deep and exiting story, which despite not being all that long still feels fleshed out and lacks the usual drab sections other games use to pad the length. There are some sections of the game that are pretty darn difficult when played through on medium difficulty so do expect to be challenged. The Multiplayer experience ranks up there with the best on the 360 although the lack of any COOP play really can stand out when along side Rainbow 6, this mostly is an issue because of how much better this game actually is and how well suited it could have been for COOP. Overall COD4 is simply the best "realistic" shooter on the market at the moment.
