There's no denying that the Call of Duty franchise is as good as it gets for WWll games. So when Infinity Ward announced the next-gen Call of Duty title with more than just a major twist, it was constantly talked about from that day forward. Call of Duty 4 tackles todays modern warfare with the new weapons available today, setting itself in the middle east, and probably the biggest of all, the new look. The graphics are far superior with this title then its predecessors as they were able to add in a lot more detail and the modern look won us all over from the first screenshot. The single player in Call of Duty 4 will, no doubt offer an intensive, exciting new experience like we have ever played with before, it looks that good. Offering 10-15 hours, it'll keep you busy and coming back for more. And this is why I state this, there are only single player achievements. So for those looking to nail 1000 achievement points, then expect to come back. Now it's time for the online. A lot of players were lucky to get into the Call of Duty 4 beta that was released back in august. And a lot came out with high expectations. Feedback from the players stated that the game ran smoothly and was one of the best fps shooters to date ( and thats excluding the single player experience, being only 12 players not 16 and leaving out 13/16 maps and the other game modes.) Call of Duty 4 has an experience system with endless possibilities. If you reach your max lvl and want to start over, you dont have to delete and create your original character. You can just start completely over but with a special insignia now that appears above your character during the game. Not forgetting the perk system, which has gotten more excited about this game then ever. Perks offer you a lot of different and unique ways to change the fight and how you want to approach a situation. There are 3 sets of perks offering several options for your character. Perk 1 includes c4 x2, rpg x2 and other various weapon specialties. Perk 2 will offer you choices that have to do with your stamina, how steady your aim is, extra health etc. And perk 3 has 2 amazing perks listed, Last Stand and Martyrdom. Last stand is the perfect perk to laugh in your apponents face. As soon as you're nearing dead (or technically when you shoudl have died) you'll stay stuck in a prone position with your pistol out and you can shoot whatever gets in your way, but it only takes 1 bullet to put you out. And Martyrdom will let you drop a live grenade on your body once you die. So if you get rushed by 4 enemies while in a room, surprise them when you die and strike them with the grenade. With the endless customization options, the wonderful perk system, an intense single player and an online multiplayer that's sure to shine. Call of Duty 4 is a rich experience that will have you addicted from when you first deploy on your mission, where it's online or offline. Look out Halo 3 and TF2 because Call of Duty 4 is here to dominate the online competition and has more than full potential to be GOTY.
