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.

I cried at the beauty of the game; I cried when my team got wiped out; I cried when my captain died and I cried when I finished it in a weekend...booo! Despite the ease (in normal mode) it is an utterly superb game. I'm on my 3rd play through already as it is just that damn good to play. The game makes you feel like you're there, so much so that when you hear the distant bark of an attack dog you drop a brick in your shorts and set off at run! The online mode is brilliant as well, best there is so far. If you only buy one shooter it has to be this one.

This Game is one for the books. From the first to the last minute i couldnt put it down. Visually it is stunning. You can almost feel the heat of the blistering middle eastern sun blasting down on you. Alough not very long it is full of hundreds of little touches like shooting through wood and thin walls to the air support Mission where you take command of the guns on a heavily armed plane and give your ground team some support by clearing roads and dropping bombs on emey troops. Multiplayer is heavily in depth and certainly makes up a large portion of the game. Games can be found pretty quickly and your in the action within 5 minutes. All in, this is a game you want to get your hands on.

Amazing world class online play. Without any storyline and just the online feature this still would be a worthy game.

An excellent game for single player although a little short. However endless fun online.

Absolutely stunning visually. Controls are in a familiar format. Not a bad story line either, if only it were a little longer. I completed this in the first weekend & had it not been for the addictive online play I would have traded it in. It?s definitely one for renting if you aren?t big on online play. Would?ve given it a 5 had it not been so short.
