Addictive Gameplay

Awesome game, they really nailed the single player. The play experience is very different than the standard sci-fi shooters. The multi-player powerups (helicopter, airstrike, etc) feel a little skewed toward the better players, but that may just be my inexperience. Very addictive gameplay, great in-game leaderboards, though Halo 3 has them completely beat in the out-of-game stat tracking. That would be my only complaint thus far, oh and maybe having the Javelin in online multiplayer would be nice too...heh.

Raising the bar in videogame standards

I love FPS games. I love it when there's realism. The physics need to be accurate with the proper reaction to every action. That said, let me say, this game comes pretty close to having proper reactions in todays standards of video gaming. Its not perfect though and that's of course where most people gripe. In this game at least there's a lot less griping. The biggest frustration is when you snipe across the map and even though your screen is showing a beautifully lined up head-shot it repeatedly registers as a miss. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it makes you wanna scream. There are other frustrations as well that I could mention but the positive side is that its fairly realistic and provides enough balance to make it interesting over the long haul of gaming. I guess I'd say this is a good foundation on which to build an even better game. So enjoy it while its here and remember even better ones are coming.

Exciting

The game is amazing.
You can get SO into this game. At one point I was looking through my scope and pulled the trigger. Just at that moment, one of my fellow marines walked in front of me and I killed him. I was so into it that I literally dropped the controller and felt a pit in my stomach. I was so into this game that the thought of accidentally killing my teammate with "friendly fire" just ripped me up.

When I sat there for a second and realized it was just a game where tons of guys die, I realized how silly I was being, and jumped back into the game. But it's just THAT intense and easy to get sucked into the story.

Great game.

Good game - Possibly addicting

I could see getting addicted to this game. I do have a few minor annoyances, but for the most part, it's great.

Pros:

-Incentive to keep playing: If you have Live, the upgrade system used does keep things interesting. Unlocking new weapons and customizations should keep you occupied for a while.
-Nice graphics
-Good atmosphere
-Team based play is rewarded online

Cons:

-I'd like to be able to completely customize my controller any way I want to
-If you're used to playing FPS on a PC, getting used to the sensitivity of the controller will take some time. I like the absolute precision I get with a keyboard and mouse. It can be frustrating at times, not an insurmountable challenge if you have the time.
-You're unable to choose the exact game you want to join. Online, unless you have a specific party and you're using an "Invite" to get the people you want. You should be able to see a list of games being played, and who's in them, in my opinion. If this feature is there, it should be easier to find for newbs like me.

Real fun stuff

Yet another first person shooter based on real world weaponry. For those that like tactical first person shooters this is an awesome game.

It has a pretty dramatic and extremely action packed first person campaign. Not very long but enough to get familiar with the mechanics and play the game.

I have a couple of minor pet peeves that make this game a 4 instead of a 5. All of them pertain to the multiplayer game. First, unlike Halo you cannot play more than one person on the same console on Xbox live. Second, there is an achievement system that lets you unlock weapons and accessories and perks and camouflage on Xbox live. In theory a great idea, in practice I find that it feels a bit unbalanced to fight against other online folks that have unlocked all the weapons and accessories and thus have more customization options for their player. For multiplayer on the same console (not on Xbox live), there are a number of preset configurations for weapons and accessories and perks. However you cannot create personal presets for local multiplayer games like you can online.

Those small issues aside, overall this is a very fun game.

Excellent in every way, but LIVE could use some work

The game is fantastic. The level of detail is simply ridiculous and you can tell the creators went to great lengths to develop accurate represntations of weapons, landscape, language, lighting, everything really.

Pros:
- Everything about the game is fantastic

Cons:
- About the only thing I can think of is the experience on XBOX LIVE. It can be a real pain sometimes trying to join a game. Some nights it's super fast, some nights it takes several minutes (or never) to connect and get into a game. Fix that and you have a great game on our hands that will never die out.

Best Game Available for 360

Not only does this game have amazing graphics, but the single player story line is better than most movies.

And that doesn't even dip into how awesome the online multiplayer is!

This Game Is Great

This is probably the best military based 1st person shooter I have ever played. I currently am serving in the U.S. Army and can testify that the amount of research that went into this game was extensive to say the least. The play control is fantastic and the story line is very strong. If you own an X-Box 360, this game is a must!

Addictive....

Excellent game from a veteran's perspective. Storyline could be longer, but the online play is great! In my opinion, better than any of the Halo trilogy. Extremely addictive!

Possibly the BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!

For all of you people who rated COD4 less than 5 out of 5, your expectations are too high. The only problem you may have is the lack of cooperative campaign, which is REALLY bad if you're a noob trying to beat the campaign on Veteran. The rest of the game is perfect!

Gameplay:
Smooth, smooth, smooth. And so realistic! It is probably the most realistic game of all time (as well as how easy it is to get killed on multiplayer, which could be bad, depending on your skills).

Graphics:
Better than Gears! Give Infinity Ward the respect they deserve for putting so much effort into making some of the best graphics of all time!

Live Multiplayer:
No achievements are based for LIVE, so if you dont have live, you can still get the perfect 1000 gamerscore for the game. Leveling up helps you because you get better weapons and with custom set, you can customize your guns and perks to your unique playing style.

If you just got a 360, this is a great first game! I also recommend Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter which is undeniably, a great game, as well as it is cheap because it is an older 360 game!
