Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare some would say is a cop-out of the Battlefield 2 name with the whole "Modern Warfare" title. Actually, it may be true but in all reality who really cares. Infinity Ward really did good i applaud there efforts for this game. Just like with the previous theme, World War II, COD 4 stays true to its nature of being a gritty, teeth grinding, tongue chewing FPS. In most FPS game you have a set mission and the environment is not that great, but not COD, COD has always been there to twist that concept into reality. Everywhere you go, everything you see, something is happening, airplanes flying over head, helicopters drilling houses with there guns, enemies on every floor emptying clips on you. You....will not escape. The Single player campaign, if you will, is not that long as the others i'll give it that much, so thats the down-side. The up-side is that it'll make you cry when you're done just for the sheer entertaining value it has. Yes, you're doing the same things going on missions behind enemy lines, fighting your way through buildings and cargo ships. Though the one thing COD 4 has that its predecessors did not have is the amount of fun aspects there are to this game. In the previous COD's they had fun missions where you drove a tank or manned a big bulky machine gun or sniped a few unsuspecting soldiers. In COD 4, you got that, but thats small potatoes, they got you repelling down walls sneaking through troop filled fields in camo, manning rocket launchers, stinger missiles and my personal favorite...manning a grenade launcher as your helicopter gives ground support. So again, the single player is extremely entertaining and it does so with such a convincing story that you just get engrossed in it. The Multiplayer is fun too, you have air strikes, helicopter help, everything a growing soldier could need. Though there's a price, the price of being good enough to get those tactics. It's true you can choose to call in airstrikes or call in your apache to help you out but you have to kill enough people in a row to do it. Other then those two new additives the multiplayer isn't that much different then any other FPS multiplayer. Now i would go on a tandem on how awesome the graphics are and how detailed they made the characters and the environment and for the most part it'd be true. Though, whats a game without a little qwerk here or there. The graphics are awesome that is true, but you will see moments where they leave a little more to be desired or the actions don't quiet match up. You'll see those moments and they are hard to miss but its also not enough to where you see them all the time. So to come to the conclusion i gave this game a 9.0 because of the graphical qwerks and the oddly short single player game. Though don't let these judgements prevent you from buying this game because if you don't buy it, you've just been a traitor to your country.
