THE GOOD:It creates realism, as soon as you step into the game, you can tell your not playing on any ordinary FPS game and that your playing an evolutionary game, one that you will foresee that will change your life around.
Great variety in guns and additional add-ons.
Detailed graphics are splendid.
You can even split open Melons around, and move objects from the tiniest box, to blowing up a car.
Once you pick this game up, it leaves you drooling for more action packed fun.
THE BAD:
Slightly Laggy, but the patch should fix that up.
The ability to glitch out the map and so forth is very annoying on Old school free for all.
SUMMARY:
You start the game, and all you can feel is like, wow, I can imagine this in real life, me here, taking this step through a strand of grass, laid down on your stomach wearing a Ghillie Suit.
It's a revolutionary game, it really is. Every aspect, Beautiful.
For example, you could spend hours on your own walking around the map, taking in all the wonderful detail in the scenery, from lightning, to the sunniest day ever.
Once you set eyes on this game, you will no longer want to play any other FPS out there, Call Of Duty 4 is dominant, by a long way.
So, what could you possibly wish for more than Call Of Duty 4 for Christmas? (Apart from a Mic, to talk to people) Nothing.
It's the best game out so far, and with a few patches, will be for a long time to come.
Ok, About the game.
The real change comes in the combat. This is one intense shooter, mainly because there are just so many enemies. And they are smarter thanks to some refined AI. Granted, there are going to be moments when enemies get stuck in dumb routines or stand in the open waiting to be mowed down, but overall the bad guys prove themselves to be resourceful and without mercy. Though a linear shooter that essentially funnels you through corridors, there are a considerable number of side paths. These almost always lead to flanking positions. If you do not flank the enemy, rest assured they will flank you. Enemies usually know to stay in cover. And they also know that you, being a well-trained soldier, aren't going to fight in the open. That's why they fire RPGs and toss so many damned grenades. They are trying to flush you out. And since most cars explode and will kill you if you are standing beside them, quite often you'll be forced to move.
COD4's single-player is made great because it is such a white-knuckle experience. That would not be possible if the sound and visuals weren't impeccable. This is a gorgeous game from top to bottom. It runs almost perfectly, with only a few rare framerate hiccups, and offers rich details, great texture work, excellent animations for your allies, awesome particle effects, and some stellar lighting. The sound is equally impressive. Combat is loud. The shouts of your allies, the curses of your enemies, the ominous clink of a grenade falling at your feet, all go to creating an immersive experience. You may well lose yourself in combat, drawn in by the visuals and the sound. This is a technically excellent effort that won't disappoint.
Beginning with a handful of pre-made classes, COD4 quickly opens up once you reach level 4. At this point, you can create your own class. As you gain levels, you'll earn access to new weapons, scopes, and perks. On top of this, you'll find dozens of challenges for each weapon, which open up further augmentation options. There are also more generic challenges, such as killing two people while in the air and scoring a certain number of headshots. All of this creates a robust challenge system that encourages gamers to keep COD4 in their system so they can continue to plug away online.
