Ok story mode, however the online is great. Great graphics, sound, controls and upgrade system. New maps just made it more enjoyable.
A must have game

I really disliked CoD3, and I heard so many good things about CoD4 that I bought it rather than rent it. I regret that decision. Sure it's better than CoD3 (which was a train wreck), it's more of the same. It just pales in comparison to many of the FPS out there. You're better off with BioShock, Halo 3, or Orange Box.
Not as good as expected.

Okay but not excellent. Online is fun but then it gets repetitive. I also thought it had a short Campaign mode. The action is satisfying and the graphics are gorgeous. I was hoping for it to be better than Gears of War or Halo 3 but it is not. Halo 3 and Gears are still one of the best online shooters out there.
Great Game, Locks Up Every Play

Yes this game is one of the best. Nice play and interesting missions. I'll get to the point. Mine locks up every time i play within thirty minutes or so. I have looked for an answer to the problem and yet to find one.
Single Player Short. Multi-Player Incredible

CoD 4 Modern Warfare single player storyline is incredibly short in overall length. I beat the main story line in under 8 hours. Play through the single player storyline to learn the game, then go kill it online.
The is a huge amount of depth in everything in the game world. You can shoot through fences to get the enemy behind, hold your breath for better accuracy when sniping, and the marine's 'hoorah' is there in full effect.
The multiplayer is great. Create a Class brings a new level to customizing characters on FPS. I constantly have to remind myself that I am not playing Counter Strike while playing CoD4 just because of the customization avalible to your character. More kills add up to higher rank, which then unlocks more weapons, accessories, and challenges and other things like clan tags.
Team work is a must online. Telling your team where a sniper is hiding, or covering your buddy from being taken out by enemy assault rifles while he targets the enemy helicopter with a rocket launcher is a definite must.
There are also in-game unlockables that you get when you go on a kill-streak. So many kills in a row and you can view where your enemies are located for a short amount of time. You can call in a friendly helicopter to fly around and take out the enemy, or even devestate them with an airstrike.
I reccomend this game purely for its in-depth, spectacular multiplayer action. The main story on single player is great, and is accurate to what is really going on 'over there', but like I said, is so short you never get to feel like your character is really you being shot at.
Buy the game, beat it, go online, have fun. CoD4 is great.
Amazing but too short

Call of Duty 4 is a good game. Should you buy the game? Yes. Will you enjoy the game? If you like 1st person shooters, absolutly. The game is well done. I do have some gripes with the User Interface and some of the game play aspects.
What I do love about the game is that it is incredibly fast paced and fun shooter. The multiplayer is a little harder to get into at first you really have to start pluggin away to earn some new guns and perks. And there is no level system so you jump right into play people with the best guns and perks. But if you plug away a little you find the guns that you really enjoy and then start having a blast. The campaign game is fun and makes you enjoy different aspects and new aspects like jumping on a mini gun and spooling up the motor to rain lead down on the enemy. Or the experience of being on the gun and raining down the big shots from the plane. And the sneaky sneaky you have to do while being a sniper, great game play elements done very well. Overall a good experience, not perfect and not a 10 out of 10 but close.
What I dislike about the game is the fact that you have such a hurdle to overcome when you start playing multiplayer. It is frusterating when you cant kill people and your kills are barely there but wow look at those deaths. The User Interface(UI) is not as intuitive as some other games. When that annoying kid is screaming it takes a long time and a number of different levels to get to his Gamer Card and mute him. Also it is not as easy as other games to get to your friends list and jump into their game or invite them to play. I love to play games with my friends, the community aspect is truely what I enjoy.
Best Game EVER (So Far)

Absolutely without a doubt the best game of 2007. I'm currently on military deployment overseas, and after I bought this game a couple of months ago, it has been running non-stop in the break room, and Halo2 2/ 3 no longer gets any playtime. In fact, after playing thru CoD4 and then taking a shot at Halo 3, couldn't believe how poor the graphics were on Halo 3 comparatively. The troops can't get enough of CoD4 now, both single player and multi-player. The one gripe about single player mode is it's kind of short, but replaying levels don't get old.
On the multi-player side, since we don't get Xbox Live out there, we use the split screen. System Link would have been great, since there are 2 360's in the unit (& someone else got an xtra copy of the game of being wowed by the one I bought), but when using System Link, can't use the Split Screen function for either 360s, so it can only be 1 on 1. Kinda of ridiculous, who would use 2 different TVs and 2 different Xboxes just to play 1 on 1? That's why I give it overall 3 out of 4. If I was home and had Xbox Live, then it would be a different story (perfect 4 out of 4). Hopefully, the sequel will fix that.
Best first person shooter for 2007

This game is just awesome. Its got so many choices and features. The best part is most of the game has to be unlocked in the multiplayer part.The challenges, weapons and multiplayer modes all get unlocked as you go on in the game. Your rank also increases the better you do and it takes longer to get each rank as you get higher. The highest rank is 55 and even when you achieve that there is an option to start over and over, so the game and the challenges never end. The unlocking part of the game really keeps you hooked and makes you wanna keep playing and playing. I really like the modern aspect of the game since I have played call of duty 2. My only problem with the game is that your not able to split screen on xbox live, you can only split screen when your offline.
