Great Game for 360

I bought the 360, just for this game. WOW, it amazed me last night when I was playing it for 3 hours. I love it. It feels like I am part of a movie and the next second, I am getting shot at from all directions.

Pros: I love HD, I love COD4 HD. I can't go back to regular non-HD games. I'm spoiled like that.

Cons: I wish it was co-op. I heard COD5, might have co-op. I hope so, more hours on the 360 and less time with the girlfriend.

AMAZING

I love this game it rocks. The graphics rock, the wepons rock, the story rocks, and most of all the M21 sniper rifle rocks. I love to sit in a corner, and pick off my enemies, Or you can run out with super awsome machine gins like Uzi's, and SAW's. Unending fun.

Awesome

Great game. Multiplayer is a lot of fun. Not recommended for kids under 16 due to violence and blood.

Award winning for a reason

if you don't have this game, you shouldn't have gotten an XBox. It's that simple

Call of Duty 4 is one of the best FPS games EVER!

After being hooked on the Halo franchise for the past several years, it has been difficult for me to have an open mind with other First Person Shooter (FPS) games. However, I decided to give Call of Duty 4 a shot and I am thoroughly glad I did! It is by far one of the best FPS games I have ever played! The graphics are smooth and crisp, game play is challenging and true to life (as I would imagine it having never served in the military), and the weapons are as realistic as it gets. There are a variety of levels to play on the ground, as a helicopter gunner, and on an AC-130 as a gunner! Then there is the multi-player aspect of the game which I have just recently gotten into. It is a blast (pun intended). The game rocks in every way! If you enjoy FPS, realistic combat game play, then order COD4 now!!!

Best FPS Game Ever!

Returned to those who made Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4 takes the original engine and concept which made COD2 great, and successfully shifts it into a modern world.

Retaining the same mix of brutal single player campaign and engrossing multiplayer gaming, Call of Duty 4 innovates in many ways the First Person Shooter genre. The sniper rifle scoping system that was in place in COD2 is back, also, and many new weapons are available.

Different from COD2, the interface is much more dense, the map more complex, and options well beyond that which was available in World War II. And yet despite this, it is easy to get used to, and despite the addition of far more things on the player's HUD and interface, it doesn't get in the way of the gameplay itself, seeking out enemies and killing them.

Another unique addition is rankings and unlockables in the multiplayer. You start out as a private, with only the three base classes of Assault, Spec Ops, and Demolition available to you (this means assault rifle, machine gun, shotgun), with the other two classes unlocked when you rise in rank. Rank upgrades are easy, requiring XP which is earned from killing people and just playing multiplayer maps. Even more unique, you can create your own class, picking what sort of weapons to start with, as well as bonuses such as bullet stopping power, increased health, and perks like extra grenades or RPGs. More options are available the higher you rank.

With more technology and better guns, there's more things to do in single player and multi player games, making it a more complex and rewarding gameplay experience to have. But if it's too much all at once, there's still COD2 and 3 to go back to. COD4 has that quality of both appealing to the player, and not alienating the predecessors. That sort of quality is what makes a franchise like this amazingly successful.

Potential Spoilers follow
Campaign:

My god... at first I thought it was a nice little thing, very fun but without a much interested storyline. You play as two characters: SAS's Soap MacTavish and USMC's Paul Jackson. Soap and his officer, Captain Price, are hunting a Russian terrorist Imran Zakhaev and rebels ("Ultranationalists") connected to a major Arab terrorist Khaled Al-Asad (think Osama Bin Laden) who is being hunted by the Americans, after assassinating the president of the Middle Eastern country in question (never named) on live television.

The campaign is utterly brilliant in its realistic depictions of surgical strikes and combat. The AI is beyond brilliant---enemies take cover, have powerful guns, use LOTS of grenades, both frag and special, can blind-fire, use snipers, use the terrain to their advantage, etcetera. It's absolutely phenomenal how brilliant they are, and absolutely frustrating in some places where simple FPS-"Doom" style "run in and shoot everything before it shoots you" strategy ends with you covered in bullets.

This realism peaks in Sgt. Paul Jackson's last mission. Assaulting the capital city where Al-Asad is hiding, the Americans must proceed with caution, as Al-Asad has a nuclear weapon, and they must enter in helicopters, assault, take Al-Asad, and escape. As Jackson's helicopter is escaping, looking over the city and making room for the US team to defuse the nuclear weapon, the bomb goes off, and my jaw absolutely dropped at how devastating, graphically crisp, and just plain realistic and frightening depiction of the nuclear bomb going off, and Jackson's helicopter goes down. The next mission is literally Jackson, half-dead, crawling out of the helicopter into a hellish landscape, and dying in a second blast.

That's right... one of your main characters dies mid-campaign, and very brutally.

The rest of the campaign centers around Soap, finding Al-Asad (who wasn't in the city) and hunting down Zakhaev while he aims nuclear weapons straight for the US.

The campaign is brilliant not just for its innovation in AI, missions and objectives, and setting, but for the sheer gritty realism of it, and the genuine horror. This is perhaps the scariest video game I have ever played, because unlike fantasy horror games like Resident Evil, this is one game that shows -what could really happen- today!

Five stars all around. A masterpiece right here.

Believe it.

I'm not going to spend too much of my time (or yours) adding to the already ample number of reviews. Suffice it to say this game is good, really good. An update to the CoD franchise that succeeds on every level. The single player campaign, while short, is entertaining and poignant. The multi-player is a blast, fighting through streets where virtually every building can be entered and traversed. I highly recommend CoD4 if you are a fan of the genre or are just curious.
