Summary

Game Description

See more videos ››

Popular first-person shooter Call of Duty reinvents itself in the fourth installment of the series, and the results are sensational. The game abandons its WWII roots and adapts a modern setting. Using real-world weapons, Call of Duty 4 aims to take the FPS genre in a bold direction by bringing aesthetics as close to real-life as possible. Using a fictional international-conflict, the game is set in the Middle East and pulls from real life history to create an authentic story. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is considered the pinnacle of the Call of Duty series, partly thanks to its deep online play, and it's considered a must-play for any shooter fan.

Best 07 game

I love the Call of Duty franchise. Big Red One, Finest Hour, 2, 3, 4, and World at War.
Can't wait MW: 2. This game is so far the best CoD game, the best 07 game, maybe the shooter of this generation, and easily in the the top 10 best shooters of all time.
If you video games, and you don't have this one, you NEED it. If you don't have a 360 or PS3, go buy one just for this.

Addictive gameplay Poor storytelling
One of the best games in its prime

Call of duty 4. probably one of the best online mulitplayer games made. It seems as if Call of duty wold at war is great but i personally just think its too slow paced. Dont get me wrong their both addictive but in call of duty 4 you act instead of set up a game plan. Ive played a lot of war games online but the gun selection and attachments are wonderful. Feel free to comment on how you feel about what i said. ill listen to anyone

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Review

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare is a pretty good game, but not great. I did not like this game as much as everyone else did. The multiplayer is the best i have ever played, but the multiplayer is not the main part of games, the Storyline and gameplay on campaign mode is, and this game's storyline was not good and the gameplay is really nothing special. Average.
And post comment or send message if you are stupid enough to disagree.

Call of Duty 4 Reviewed

The Call of Duty series has a very large fan following, and for good reason. It's great at what it does. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare takes what was already great and gives it a dose of steroids. Based in modern times it has a short but intense single player campaign. The majority of the storyline takes place in two locations, the Middle East (which is apparently a single, very large country) and Russia.

The campaign is unique in several aspects. Instead of playing a single character throughout this mode, you play two. You also get to experience the death of your character not once, but twice. Though this is something rarely put into games, I thought it really went along with the Call of Duty series, where you always have "filler" troops that get killed off while you're fighting.

The actual gameplay doesn't fail to deliver on excitement either. Every moment is packed with action, from the run-and-gun fighting in the Capital to the strategic house by house clearing of a town. Even when it's not fast paced, it's intense. Like when you have to line up that perfect shot you only get one chance to make, then running for your life as an entire army chases you down. Or watching your brothers in arms get murdered and being thrown a pistol to make the game ending kill.

When you're done with single player mode you move on to the multiplayer, which is by far the best part of this game. The progressive leveling system allows you to gain experience as you play, unlocking new weapons and abilities, called perks.

When you reach the max level, 55, you get a chance to enter Prestige Mode. This wipes all your data, from unlocked weapons to completed challenges, moving you back to level 1. The reward for doing this is a shiny new medal that all can see. After completing all ten prestige modes, you finally earn the coveted Golden Cross. After 605 levels of multiplayer action, you deserve it.
