Call of duty 4 is an intense modern-day shooter for those like to play online.
SO, I bought the game and tried it and, boy, I was disappointed! The textures literally suck(ed) and the fact that there was NO MOTION BLURR just felt so unrealistic and awkward after playing games like Halo 3, GoW and R6:V. I started playing the single player and I've so far got thru of it on Hardened and Veteran. It was the most difficult game I've ever played, and the fact that the enemies are so robot-like and some parts there will be an infinite amount of enemies if you don't proceed feels as annoying as possible. Your enemies can easily kill you from 30 meter while running or in a half a second as they come around the corner on Veteran. The single player campaign was really short and dull in it's own ways. The story was just weird because it evolves around killing the same dude twice!! Even if you shoot the guy to the head with 50 cal. sniper, he'll still be alive.
Unlike Halo 3 there wasn't any heroic moments in the game and that's just a let down. And I mean I'm not biased cause i suck at cod 4, no way! My Kpd is fair 1.66, My F.N.G. time is 14.35 and I even played thru the last aeroplane hostage-things on veteran which was as nerve breaking experience as possible.
Multiplayer, the real backbone of the whole game! CoD 4's multiplayer is one of the most addictive multiplayers I've ever experienced. The perks and weapons are as perfectly balanced as they can really be. And there's really no classes which is very good. There's still one little problem: CoD4 doesn't support split-screen online or co-op.
One of the few best things about the game is the weapons. The weapons are decent looking and they feel really good. Especially aiming down the sights feels just right and the sound that comes when you hit someone/something is very satisfying. Even the realoding animations are very cool.
Other good things are the controls and the sound.
Controls: very intuitive and sharp and sound is just excellent. That's just about that.
And now, the worst thing about the game: graphics. and when you consider the fact that the game has been praised for it's graphics I'm just SHOCKED! Well yeah it's "BLAZING FAST 60 FPS!" and nice lightning it doesn't make up for the textures. It really seems pretty good from a distance, but up close even from 2 METERS the hell starts to brake loose. Some poeple argue that "Why to look at anything from up close? You shold just 0play the freaking game!" It's just that do they ever USE COVER? Or just prone? On the higher difficulties you have to constantly go into cover and wait for your helth to regenerate so you'll be seeing a lot of awful textures around you. And most of the things even look horrible from couple of meters so that's it's just weird that the graphics are praised.
