Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

THE GOOD:
Fantastic campaign - A nice length for anyone who doesn't take gaming too seriously
60 FPS constant - Fantastic frame rate considering the amount of things happening at any one time
Superb graphics and destructible environments - Very lifelike visuals as well as fabulous gun models
Brilliant online modes - Headquarters, Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy

THE BAD:
Players overly unfamiliar with the game will use annoying tactics, but can be ousted easily - Many of these will be shotgunners with RPG-7s and Juggernaut, as this is one of the most common 'noob' classes, as it combines a powerful weapon with extra health

SUMMARY:
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will always be remembered as the benchmark for First Person Shooter games. There is so much going on in this game that leaves you in awe, that it distracts you from any nuisances in the game, such as glitches, and enemy respawning.

The single player...

THE GOOD:
Near Perfect Campaign, Very fun Multiplayer, Immense customizability to multiplayer classes.

THE BAD:
Menu Navigation could be better, lack of post-game stats, Annoying difficulty mode, Little irritating things in multiplayer.

SUMMARY:
Anyone remotely acquainted with the Call of Duty series will instantly think World War II. The series has earned a reputation for making spectacular games set in WWII. In a brilliant move, Infinity Ward has modernized the series to chillingly reflect a modern war. Fans of the FPS genre will be thrilled to receive this great addition to the franchise.

Single Player
When I first heard about this game, I expected a great multiplayer game with a mediocre single player campaign pushed to the side. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the campaign is actually on par with some of the best single player only games out there. The developers have laced an intense,...

THE GOOD:
• Fantastic single-player storyline.
• Arcade mode is great fun.
• Online is addicting; tons of online modes.
• Variety Map Pack is worth the money.

THE BAD:
• Campaign mode is short.

SUMMARY:
Let me start off by saying that Call of Duty 4, without a doubt in my mind, is one of the best, if not the best, shooter out right now. From stunning graphics to fantastic gameplay to simple and easy controls, Call of Duty 4 is a must-buy. Even if you don't like shooters, Call of Duty 4 will make you begin to like them. This has got to be one of the most addicting games that I have ever played.

GAMEPLAY: 4.8/5
Call of Duty 4's single player campaign is amazing; one of the best that I've played. The campaign has a deep storyline and amazing level design which will keep you addicted to it from beginning to end. Each level of the campaign offers you something different, unlike in some First...

THE GOOD:
The first person shooter in this game is really fantastic, and something to aw about. The game is so realistic in parts and you'll get hours and hours of entertainment from it, doesn't ever get boring for me. The car explosions are amazing, as is the Campaign Mode. But I must admit, this game wouldn't be the game it is without the Online play, which is truly astonishing and competitive. It has so many game modes to choose from and so many maps to play on. There is also close to no lag in most games, you'd only get the odd one or two games a day where it would have about 20 seconds of lag at most. The way the creators have set up the whole Online play is truly amazing because the servers are extremely good, and there's not mainly one host or anything, you just search a game and get put into that game with a load of others to play with.

THE BAD:
Bad: The only real bad thing I can point out the game is that, when it gets tough, it gets really tough...

THE GOOD:
Great Campaign
Challenging yet fun
Online mode will have you hooked

THE BAD:
Campaign is a little short
Graphics can get a bit choppy at times

SUMMARY:
The Call of Duty series has never really caught my eye until this came along. Call of Duty 4 is probably one of the best games you'll ever play. Games like this don't come along to often so enjoy it while you can because sooner or later it'll catch your Dad's eye and he'll be itching to play.

Unlike previous Call of Duty games, the fourth installment is set in the present day which is a healthy change as many have grown tired of World War II in which the other Call of Duty's were set. You play as Private Soap of the S.A.S and Sergeant Jackson of the USMC. The USMC levels are played out though an unnamed Middle Eastern country where a band of extremist seek power. Meanwhile with Private Soap and the S.A.S you discover the extremist leader, Al-Asad is...

THE GOOD:
-Addictive
-Brilliant multiplayer
-Polished campaign

THE BAD:
-Graphics could be better at times
-No online achievments

SUMMARY:
Call of duty 4 is one of the most anticipated shooting games this year. It makes a huge jump from the series roots, as the game has always been a traditional FPS set in the times of WWII. However this latest installment changes all that, as announced in the title it is a modern warefare game.

This does change the gameplay a great deal, but gives a fresh new feel to an aging series. The call duty games were arguably as good as they could get by the time 2 was released on xbox 360, this new installment however keeps the series fresh and makes sure it doesnt feel repetitive.

As you would expect the game has a multiplayer, and singleplayer game mode, both of which i will explain in detail.

The singleplayer is as polished as any cod game before, with an...
