Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter video-game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. It is the fourth instalment of the Call of Duty video game series and is rated mature.

Features

In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the game is set in modern times, unlike the setting of previous games in the series which usually feature World War II. The story is centred around a fictional near-future conflict involving the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia, who are fighting against Russian ultranationalists in civil war torn Russia and rebels that have staged a coup d’état in a small Middle Eastern country. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare features new weapons and technology compared to its predecessors including the M203 grenade launcher, M4A1 carbine, the AN/PEQ-2 Target Pointer for use in conjunction with night vision goggles, the MP5SD submachine gun, and the FGM-148 Javelin portable anti-tank guided missile. Although players will gain access to the weapons over the course of the game, they may only carry up to two weapons in addition to grenades. In this game, players fight alongside AI-controlled team mates who help during the game’s missions by providing cover fire, shooting down enemies, and clearing rooms for entry. The character can be positioned in three stances including standing, kneeling or prone although different stances have different rate of movement, accuracy and stealth.

Review Summary

The Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is available on ps3, Xbox 360 and pc and what’s more is that each version is different from the other. This game conveys good frame rates and has good and easy-to-use multiplayer setups. In many ways, some players feel that it resembles these same features on Halo 2 & 3, by even having matching playlist. Players are allowed to create servers that allow up to 18 players to play at once but due to the size of its multiplayer maps, too many players might make it seem a little crowded. Lovers of this game will basically buy this game based on the controller they like the most as they all work just fine. The game’s multiplayer mode is like a hidden treasure waiting to be unlocked. High-quality story mode is such which create the thrills and unexpected moments to its players. Much to the sadness of its players, the single-player mode is so short-lived. But players who don’t appreciate great first-person shooter multiplayer should honestly skip this game. The quality of its content in the campaign is top notch while its multiplayer is the best around. In other words, the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a truly superb package.

    23 Comments It is 2005. In an isolated Californian cube farm, Activision rediscovers a small band of abandoned games developers known as Infinity Ward, that's convinced that World War II shooters are still going strong. After some persuasion, much therapy and having been shown screenshots of Rainbow Six Vegas, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Infinity Ward is convinced to admit that the long war is over (for the time being at least)....

    Given Infinity Wards impressive pedigree, it might not surprise many that COD4 is heading for some well earned recognition in the impending game of the year awards. Still, when you’re at the top of your game it’s very easy to take your foot off the pedal. The single player game, the arcade leaderboards and the mouth-watering multiplayer sections show every budding developer how it should be done when you are at the pinnacle of your game. For once a title has exceeded... Read more

    Quite simply, Call of Duty 4 is a stunning game and quite difficult to fault. It looks, sounds and plays brilliantly and offers an unrivaled online experience. If we're to nit-pick, then the respawning enemies found in some parts of the Campaign can be frustrating and feel a bit old-fashioned compared to how advanced the rest of the game is. Really though, that's just about it. Go and buy it. Now. Read more

    Graphics and Sound?: Superb,i’ve never seen a game look so good! and the 5.1 surround sound make you feel like your in the actual battles! Gameplay?: More tactics are involved, rather than just walk around and shoot. This is no push over! Value for Money?: After you’ve completed the single player campaign, you’ll play it again- its that good! Online mode and split screen multi-player also make sure you’ll be playing this game, this time next year! Go buy it! Read more

    Damn. This is one hell of a game. I suggest everyone that owns an XBOX/PS3 to get this one, unless any sort of violence grosses them out. One of the FPS games to come out in a long time that was an excellent challenge on the hardest setting. Looking forward till Modern W 2 comes down in price. Until then this should be fulfilling.

    After hearing what a good game this was I decided to take the plunge and play it, I managed to borrow it from a friend and I completed single player on Veteran in 3 days with all the achievements, yes it had me ripping out my hair at certain points but it is very doable. I played this as I hear it was the hardest game around and I have to concur that this is true it is a massively hard and frustrating game at times but saying that it is also fun. It also shows the other... Read more
