Now many of you who are reading this review right now (because I AM that popular :P) will be wondering something. If I put an incredible, but flawed game, then how does it still get a 10? Well there is a simple way to answer that. The flaw that I found, the biggest one in fact (which yes, I did blog about) was the weapon balancing. For example, in multiplayer, you will unlock a gun called the G36C. Damn. This thing is cheap. I mean a guy will randomly spray in a direction, and you will get killed pretty quickly. A Desert Eagle, point blank, shot to the head does not kill instantly, as it should. But the reason this flaw is overlooked is because of one word. Patches, a.k.a. updates. The game could easily get an update form Live which would balance it out a bit, so since it can be fixed relatively easily, it is overlooked. What make Call of Duty 4 great though, is the addictive multiplayer and it's atmosphere. Every time you run into a chopper, blast one out of the sky, etc., you feel like you're watching CNN. But it's also theatric, as well as realistic. In the sniper mission, one of the most intense in games, you have to blow a guy away with an Anti-tank sniper rifle. You miss, but rip off his arm, which is way more satisfying. Moments like these are what make the campaign great, even though it is about 5 hours. The multiplayer, with it's challenges, gear, perks, and Prestige mode, is great. With all these features, you get the most addictive online game since WoW. Hit me up on Live if you guys ever want to have a match ;)
