The best shooter I've played in years! Congratulation Infity Ward & Activision! Seriously, the best military shooter...
The best part is the ability to play as the SAS and US Marines, or better Marine. Weaponry, environment, voice over, weather, story, characters, graphics are all done extremely well.
One missions really stock in my head; the "Death from above" mission, where I got to provide group support by getting on .50 Cal. Cannons and/or Rail Guns on a patrolling C130! Just like you saw on CNN (the footage of guided bombs hitting buildings during Operation Desert Storm, remember? Same thing), the mission is all viewed/played through the sights of Heat or Night Vision techs. It's simply awesome, no other shooter I've played has offered such mission, especially how realistic it feels. I kinda felt a little guilty shooting at the enemies...it got me thinking, this is exactly why I rate COD4 the best shooter yet, it got me thinking...it delivered a real experience!
The sniper missions are another great example of the tremendous work the guys at Infity Ward have put into the game. I don't want to give the missions away, but the realism or being a sniper is taken to the next level here...again, trust me, buy the game and you'll experience what I'm talking about.
Activision, you have a great franchise in your hands, keep up the great work, your marketing strategies has worked beautifully!
One little thing: Single player too short! Why?!?!? I want more!
