Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare at first I was sceptical because it is a great FPS but it is a WW2 FPS not know to dive into anything else, I loved Cod 1, 2, & 3 but I felt they were going into a genera they did not know. Lets face it I was wrong this game is very well done looks better than CoD3 and most FPS now, plays like CoD2 (the best for their campaign) and is not the overplayed WW2 scenarios like D-Day or fighting in Russia again. Enough of this blurb time to get on with the review

This game looks great, feels great, plays great. The AI both allies and enemies is a little weak but it is much better than most, they throw grenades, try to hide behind cover, can flank but most times will not (unless on Hard or Veteran). I have had no frame rate issues or any issues at all no gliching or freezing. As for Controls it is all around good, I don’t like where the sprint is ( it would have been better as LB) knife action is great, Crouch and Prone work well, another issue is returning a thrown grenade (RB throws a grenade as well as returns one I have had a little issues with this). Graphics are some of the best yet, the environments are crisp clear and have loads of action going on in them. Character models are very nice and all around look good (with their was some more variants with the enemies). Guns fire very well, not a lot of recoil and seem a little over powered (not that I am complaining). As for the game it self yes it is linear but it is good none the less. Some missions is just you and your squad (who are powerful) running in and shooting anything that moves. You play as a SAS and USMC and both have very nice voice acting for fellow soldiers. “the bog” is a great level for showing the cooperation and skill of your fellow soldiers (the night vision effect in this game rocks) but the level that I felt played the best was the stealth / sniper mission “all ghilled up” and “the shot”. in the beginning of the mission you assume your with a guy but you see no one, then he gets up out of the tall grass with his sniper camo on and I was just wowed, the level was great and the dual sniper act and knife kills was great, I was stressing over the event where the soldiers and tanks roll through the field. In the beginning of “the shot” the sniper rifle action their was very nice and I felt gypped when I saw my bullet trail go through the guys head but only his arm came off (if it was me that guy would be dead) but ohh well. Also “death from above” was a great level even though their was no treat of death the level was very fun. The game is short but worth one or two plays through campaign. The achivements are all single player based and majority of the big ones require you to beat the game on Veteran. The multiplayer is great but you do not get to create a class, clan or anything right of the bat you need to play a few rounds to level up to gain that ability. In comparison to the other CoD games this plays and feels the best and I am glad that took a risk with going off the WW2 genera.
