I honestly did not know what to expect when I picked up the game (I'm a contrarian by nature) but was astounded with the game's realism: fluid movement, tactics, weapon handling, etc. Also integral to creating an immersive experience is the frantic chatter of friend and foe alike. Listening to a Russian soldier crying out (in Russian) for a fresh magazine or yelling at his comrades to flank your position raised the hair on my neck. Personally, losing oneself in gameplay is the ultimate litmus test of a good game, and Call of Duty 4 definitely succeeds.
Multiplayer is the best controlled chaos I've ever experienced in a game. Dashing from cover to cover, vaulting over walls, all while in a mad pursuit of a headquarters or trying to escape from an enemy creates a sense of urgency I've not often felt in playing any game.
