Call Of Duty has moved on from its roots as a WW2 FPS and has touched the Modern Warfare scene with flying colors.
COD4 is most likely going to be under most of the Christmas trees to gamers this year. If it's not already in your home console. Call of Duty is well known for its World War 2 games and has really done a great job. However they got the message that 3 was enough and thus the sub heading: Modern Warfare.
Thats what it is in fact, modern warfare that is. And oh boy did the guys at infinity ward go crazy on this one. The details throughout the entire game truly make you believe your fighting against a true with power. Infinity Ward really put their hearts into this game making it one of the best looking FPS to date.
The single player campaign will entice you from the beginning. You play as both Sergeant Paul Jackson - United States Marine Corps 1st Force Recon, and Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish - 22 SAS Regiment.
While the single player campaign may end in one to two sittings, you will be left feeling extremely satisfied and happy with your purchase. I wouldn't say the single player campaign alone is worth the 60$ but the multi-player
will leave you feeling very happy with your purchase.
There isn't enough to say about the multi-player features of COD4: Modern Warfare. You will play online against many people and be able to gain experience from each round. Gaining a certain amount of experience
will increase your rank (who knew?). When you reach certain ranks you are able to unlock all sorts of fun things.
There are challenges to unlock which challenge you to do things that will gain you more experience. There are things call perks which add a whole new level of gameplay to the online mode. Perks let you add cool features to your homemade classes (classes are sets of guns and perks put together by you to use in an online match). Perks can vary from you not showing up on the enemies radar, to being able to listen in on what the other team is saying over the mic.
Along side the challenges and perks, you can unlock new weapons, skins and all sorts of fun stuff. All of this adds up to make COD4 have an extremely great replay value and I'm sure people will still be playing well into next year. The single player also holds a lot of replay value as well. Laptops with enemy intel has been scattered across the single player campaign. Uncovering the hidden intel will allow you to do some pretty nifty stuff such as playing without a HUD or blowing things up into car pieces.
All in all COD4 will always leave you with a smile on your face even if you had a bad match simply because of how much fun the game really is. The weapons feel nasty. The environments and graphics look nasty (in a good way), and the game all in all is an absolute must buy. Pick up COD4: Modern Warfare Today!
