This game is a whole lot of fun. The campaign is only about 12-16 hours depending on the difficulty you chose but the multi-player is what makes the game stand out. This is the best FPS multi-player experience out there for Xbox 360.

Great gams

One of the best games ever made. Incredible online play which could be at the same level as Halo 3. Single Player is also great but shorter than expected.

Great game!

This is one of the best games ever made! It's near perfect in all aspects. I'll start with the story. It may be short but it one of the best, most dramatic, action packed, emotional and fun single player campaigns for any FPS game. You won't find a story this in depth in any FPS. You feel like your there, you feel like your the person in the game. Now for the multiplayer. This is really what makes this game great! If you come for the story, you'll stay for the multiplayer. It's a rival to Halo 3 and may be even better. The Online ranking system is setup to make you keep coming back for more. As you gain levels you gain perks and new weapons. The level cap is 55, but once you get there thats only the beginning! After you hit 55 you can choose to stay there or start over in a thing called prestige. Through this you start back at level 1 but you get a special badge that says you've made it to 55 and then started prestige, therefore letting you in a sense get higher than 55 and therefore getting more respect from other players. Also that is the only way to get higher ranking on the leaderboards. Making the game virtually endless. In closing I recommend this game to everyone who enjoys FPS games weather you play online or not. I give this game a 10/10.

stunning and addicting

With games being in excess of $60 these days, there are very few times I actually buy games new anymore, when I am 99% sure the game will be good and/or I have to have it no matter what. Very few games fit these criteria and honestly COD4 did not. I wanted to buy this game used, but there were none available. Instead the guy behind the counter convinced me that this game was well worth the $60 new price tag so I bit and long story short, he was right.

As you already know, COD4 takes us away from the WWII setting which is a VERY good thing. I personally got sick of fighting in the same war in the 3 previous installments. "Modern Warfare" was a definite breath of fresh air. COD4 takes place in the "present" with most of your battles being in the Middle East fighting against terrorists using MODERN weapons, that's right guys, no more panzerfausts or bren guns.

Graphically, the game is beautiful; the scenery looks so real it's scary. The way the environment reacts to your actions has also been done very well. If you are hiding behind a wooden fence, you can easily shoot through the fence at your enemies and vice versa. In addition as the bullets pass through the said wooden fence, you will actually see bullet holes. For stronger barriers such as concrete, bullets will NOT pass through. However if you shoot it, you will see a indentation in the wall indicating the bullets' vain attempt to pass through. This is just a very small example of how the environment not only looks great but also reacts to your actions. In short everything looks like it's supposed to. It was obvious that a great deal of effort was put into making this game look as real as possible.

The animations are also done pretty well and are very convincing. Enemies and allies alike move and even die realistically. Depending on where you shoot them, the enemies will react differently. Shooting them with a non-fatal shot and many times you will actually see the guy crumble to the ground actually trying to drag himself to safety. However don't think that he still won't be able to kill you, because he can. In this position, the enemy will pull out his side arm and still fire at you lying on his back in an last ditch effort to take you with him.

Sound is also great, as has always been the case with the COD series, so this is no big surprise here. However that being said, I would say that to me the sound in COD4 is better than COD3. However that may be just because I was so used to hearing WWII related sounds from this franchise and subconsciously I was just so sick of hearing it.

The game play doesn't actually feel like COD game. (again, this may be because they all have been WWII related in the past) Instead it feels more like Rainbow Six type game. In fact many times while playing this game, I kept thinking to myself, is this really a COD game? However this is not a bad thing at all. I actually got into the game right away, and it is definitely not a "slow starter" like so many games these days. You are thrown into the action fairly early on and it never really lets up. If you like constant action then you will NOT be disappointed.

Continuing with the game play is that the corny "turn your thumb stick clockwise to set the charge", or "tap these buttons as fast as you can to stop the Nazi from overpowering you" nonsense from COD3 is thankfully gone. Sure that was cool at first, but I definitely did not like the way COD3 kept throwing it in my face 6 billion times throughout the game. Now if you have to set a charge, then you just press one button and boom, your done and right back to the action. If you are about to get killed by a dog, a well timed press down on the right thumb stick and you will break the pooches neck and that's it; then right back to the action. In addition I don't seem to recall enemies concentrating all their fire directly at YOU in this game (as the case in COD3), instead everyone on your squad is fair game. This makes the game seem more realistic rather than giving me the impression that the developers didn't know how to make the game challenging any other way than this cheesy method. Thank you Infinity Ward!

What is NOT gone and really my only complaint in this game is that it STILL uses the annoying check point system. Why? I have no idea, but I absolutely loathe about games these days is that the game determines when you can save. The only bright side to this is that the checkpoints are closer together than COD3 so while it's still very frustrating its not as frustrating as it could be. I just beat the game on normal difficulty and currently going back through it on hard, and I found myself getting quite frustrated having to do things over and over and over again on certain levels. But I finally got through by taking a different strategy then what I was originally doing. In addition, it seems to me that once you reach a certain checkpoint you can't go back to previous one. I've had once instance where I reached a checkpoint at about the same time the enemy saw me, so it was instant death. I eventually had to restart the level from scratch...this is another reason was the checkpoint save system is unacceptable.

This is all I really have to say about the single player mode. Bottom line, it fun as hell and you should not be disappointed. Other than the obvious issue with the ridiculous check point save system I don't see anything else wrong with it.

I've only dabbled with the multiplayer, but all I can tell you that it's VERY hard. If you are used to playing Halo 3 online, then prepare to get pwned. While both games are clearly FPSs, COD4 is much more difficult online at least that's the case with me but maybe I'm really just a noob. In any case, you have been warned.

I would give this game a 5 in both the fun and overall categories, but I can't in my right mind give this to a game that still uses checkpoint save point system that forces you to replay sections over and over and over again. So minus one star on the fun factor because of the save system. Yes I gave Halo 3 a 5 fun/5 overall review but never in that game did I find myself being stuck on one section for over an hour due to not being able to make the next check point without dying. That being said, this title is still a worthy game; one of the few games out there that actually would warrant a $60 price tag.

Best 2007 had to Offer

The next generation first person shooter "Call of Duty 4" is worth the price.

CoD4's Multiplayer has everything Halo3 was missing. As you gain experience from completing objectives or just stomping enemy players a large variety of customizations open for you to grab new gear and cater to your play style: Assault rifles with upgraded impact damage making it easy to take out enemies through walls, Shotguns with stabilizing grips, Sniper rifles with custom scopes, light machine guns with custom camo, gold plated sub machine guns, grenade and pistol upgrades, and the ability to ease drop on enemy conversations are just a few of the things you have to look forward to. Your Score card keeps track of game-play stats for you and your friends and is easy to access for those who love to brag;)

The Next Generation graphics and physics are top notch. Pull the pin on a grenade bounce it off the wall and out the window of a second story window, so that it lands on and blows up the car your enemy is hiding behind. Watch the bullets come flying through the walls and floor as you discover sheet metal, drywall, wood and other light materials make better concealments than cover. Put on a ghillie suit and outsmart your opponents or take them down from the comfort of long range and tall grass.

This game is full of action, and enough of it to out weigh the very few downsides. You can call in an air strike with surgical precision, but you can't fly the plane. The fact is you can't drive or pilot vehicles in this game. There are interactions with vehicles seamless enough to think that the tank's driver has a personal vendetta with your hiding spot, or that the helicopter pilot heard what you said about his girlfriend, but really not being able to drive or pilot is an after thought and doesn't decrease the games playability or its re-playability. Also the single player campaign is short as others have mentioned, but worth every minute. And if your playing on the games hardest difficulty expect to be overwhelmed to the point of hilarity.

Great Single AND Multiplayer make this one of the best FPS's Ever

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare takes the time tested series out of the now tired WWII era and moves it into near future warfare, with a plot that could be ripped from tomorrow's headlines. In COD4, you play as either an SAS commando or a member of the Marine Corp's Force Recon, fighting in two different theaters of operation, against the same nuclear threat. The story is well told and the voice acting superior for a video game. COD4 also features two of the most draw dropping moments in video game history, only one of which I'll share. The first one is when you act as gunner for a C-140 Gunship, covering the retreat of an SAS squad. The graphics here are so realistic, and the sound so intesne, you can't help bu feel like you are really there. It's a marvelous achievement.

While the campaign isn't as long as some of the earlier iterations of the series, the game's incrediby deep multiplayer will keep you addicted for months. There are so many different ways to play this game online that only Halo 3 tops it, and that's for the matchmaking and forge system only. Newbies to experienced gamers can enjoy the multiplayer and rank up as it suits them, or just play with friends. The only lacking element is a co-op campaign mode, but the objective-based multiplater modes make up for that.

This game is my second favorite of 2007, behing "Bioshock", and is probably the best bang for your buck right now. If you haven't treated yourself to the game yet, do so now.

The Best Shooter Ever!

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is truly amazing FPS (First Person Shooter).

Pros:
Modern Warfare has the most realistic graphics ever made for a game. It's very much like being inside a film. This game is a visual feast. The sounds of wars are as real as if you are on the battlefield. The bad guys are smart and adjust as the situations change. The game has a good story with more than a few interesting characters. One of the most compelling aspects of the game is the accurate portrayal of the chaos of war. Confusion reigns as the enemy floods forward. What to do, where to go, when to stand and when to charge, are all choices that you make in the fluid situations of combat. The battles are long. The enemies just keep coming.

If you are a first timer in the wonderful world FPS's start out on the Recruit level. An experienced player will find the upper levels more than challenging.

Modern Warfare's multiplayer is as good as any and better than most. But, playing online in multiplayer is difficult to get the hang of. Be prepared to suffer some humiliation until you get your skill level up.

The Arcade is a great feature to rank yourself in the Modern Warfare universe.

HIGH replay value. A lot of bang (pun intended) for your buck.

Cons:
Not many. The game is fairly short. The Veteran level is insanely difficult. The cheats available to the PC are not available on the 360.

You won't be disappointed. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is great fun and an amazing gaming experience.
