A Game That Will Be Talked About For Years...
Possibly the best war game ever made, and this is coming from a person who despised war games, myself.
We all know Call of Duty, aswell as Medal of Honor, etc. stayed in the WWI or WWII stages, and finally one puts its foot down and changes its path...and does an excellent job at it. Most video games that try to adapt to something new usually are horrid or fail completely (Movies that are turned into games.) COD4 changes all this. Its an addicting ride from start to finish, and even when the ending is over, you still will be asking for more...
This game is just what the title is about, Modern Warfare. Guns, the army, and nuclear missiles set to destroy the home of the brave. But the way the storyline is written, which is probably one of the best written in a video game, and Im not just saying that, will have you expecting to know what will happen, but will end up being the exact opposite, leaving you on the edge of your seat, and the game has plenty of heartpounding action, twisting turns, and huge shocks.
You work for many organizations across the globe (S.A.S., Marines), but you spend most of your time with a rebelling, unpredictable back-sassing captain named Price, also a team of characters that you still wont forget when you are finally done with the campaign mode, and as time grows you will even become fond of your squad and wont want to be away from them, they will actually feel like buddies of yours, and their A.I. is remarkable, when they see an enemy or enemies, they dont just stand around, they give you a shot at them and if you dont succeed, they will finish them for you, but they dont just shoot now, ask questions later, they call for backup, assemble themselves in smart, thought out coverage, and sometimes, they even tell you things that will help you out. Grade A
Now for the graphics, 4 words, amazing but not astounding. Sometimes you could get it confused for real life, sometimes it looks like a video game, depends on where you are or your sights, some locations look incredible, some look like they couldve done better, overall it still looks great. Grade B+
Sound, the most noticed well done point of COD4, when you shoot, you can hear it miles away, aswell as your teammates screaming to let you know they just threw a frag. The sound is top notch. Grade A+
Gameplayand control is easy for anyone to get use too. And it makes you feel at home with this title, its not clunky and dead feeling, but there is times where you try to run from an enemy and get caught on something you didnt see or even notice which can be extremely annoying at times. Grade B
Now for Multiplayer, theres already the goods and the bads for this, which you probably already know I have to mention the immature annoying live'ers who talk so big and bad because there on screen and not in person, which gets on my nerves big time lol, but thats just me, nor does that have to do with this game, but just saying...Multiplayer is fun, to an extent...Ranging from Team Deathmatch, to Sabotage, to a simple Cage Match. And you have selections of guns to choose, but you have to unlock mostly the best ones and their accessories that made you the Don in the campaign mode. Sometimes it doesnt even matter if you have the best gun though, you can still get owned by a small pistol that you know couldnt have done that in another match, especially sniping, which you may have a dead on shot on the target, but somehow...still miss? There is minor glitches like this, aswell as connection errors and moving astray and your not even moving your analog stick. By far the most pain in the butthole one, is shooting a target many times, and not even harming them, and than them murdering you with just a shot, this by far will have you gritting your teeth to the point of cracking them. Hopefully they will have a patch for these problems soon, maybe not. But Overall this game is definetely a keeper and well worth 59.99$ Go buy it as soon as possible, I know your skeptical about my review, but take my word for it...When in a lifetime will you ever get to play an Army game that did it this perfect?
