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 lit…

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.

    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

    War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing... (say it again - Ed) but enough of my political views, plenty of people buy consoles for the express purpose of fighting battles, be they in the boxing ring, the trenches, or the football pitch. War is big business and the same can be said for the virtual incarnations. The Call Of Duty series, borne out of the design talents of the original Medal Of Honour team is one of the biggest franchises in modern gaming, with every... Read more

    Maybe I wasn't the first to worry about this new direction for the Call of Duty series. We knew they had historic first person shooters down to a T. But bringing it up to modern day? Hadn't this market already been cornered? Apparently not. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare is a new animal. Same slick control system from previous games, no other first person shooter moves this smoothly and naturally. The new campaign isn't strong but playable enough. It is the online play... Read more

    My favorite game ever, the story mode is fantastic with four different modes to chose from, Recruit, Regular, Hardened and Veteran. The online play is absolutely amazing and already has 200,000 online players. Combined with Xbox Live, this game is seriously all you could want from a first person shooter! The online play offers many different game types including Team Deathmatch - fast paced killing in teams of 6, Headquarters - Capture the HQ and defend it from the... Read more

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Game of the Year Edition (Xbox 360) Controls are easy to master. Graphics whilst showing their age come 2009 are still really good. Lots of replay value from the multi-player side of the game. Going up the ranks over Xbox Live or PSN and earning new weapons, perks and gun camo is a new feature thats lots of fun. Overall this game is very impressive and with a new copy of the 2007 GOTY edition you get a card with a link to the variety map... Read more
