If you have any interest at all in military-type shooters like Rainbow 6 & Ghost Recon...GET THIS GAME!! If you loved Battlefield 2 or the classic BF1942 Mod "Desert Combat"...GET THIS GAME!!! Don't hestitate for a second...scroll up, click on the BUY IT NOW button and thank me later.

I picked up the PC version of this game yesterday and have not been able to stop playing it. The graphics and gameplay are incredible and that's just in single player mode. The multiplayer mode is even better. It is everything you wanted in a multiplayer military shooter but didn't know to ask. Trust me when I say...THIS GAME ROCKS!!!

Forget Halo 3, COD 4 is by far the best game

This is my first purchase of a first person shooter, I have played Halo and other titles like Bioshock that by the way is also a great FPS game. But COD 4 by far is the best FPS action game I have ever seen, the graphics are so real you actually feel like you are in there fighting, the sound is unbelievable, recommendation if you have your XBox 360 connected with optical audio you will not be disappointed.
For those who don't have XBox live this is the game that will no doubt let you go and purchase xbox live, COD 4 takes multiplayer game to another level 16 freaking incredible maps, a ton of games modes for multiplayer and you can customize you own soldier and as you go along you get perks depending on the stats that you acquire.
There's only 2 games that could match this Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect but I would not be surprised one bit that COD 4 comes out on top.

If you are hesitant in buying it, rent it, but I warn you, you will be so addicted to it, that you'll go out running to a store to buy it.

Insane

There is a reason this game is getting all 5 star ratings; it's simply incredible on all accounts. I would just be repeating others' praises were I to offer my own, so I will just say this: This game is so realistic that the US media and Al-Jazeera are already claiming the bad guys are winning.

Ps The Arabic script in-game is realistic as well. And if you see this...
ÇäÝäíÊí æÑÏ (this may not convert properly, arabic script)

... written on the walls and banners it spells out "Infinity Ward", very clever!!

best graphics and realism

I bought this game mainly for online multiplayer only but it seems you will need to do the campaign to unlock online game options. Gameplay and graphics are amazing compared to anything else right now. I am a huge halo fan also and i do not like to compare call of duty 4 to halo 3 because they are two different games that offer different stuff. THey are both my favorite games at the moment and i would recommend both!

The best FPS of the year.

I have been looking forward to this game since I first saw video on it months ago. I had been building this game up with hype and hoped it wouldn't disappointment. After playing the beta I was sure it wouldn't disappoint. Now that the retail version is out, let me tell you, it has not disappointed. After some intense nights of multiplayer action and brief trek through the single player, I can say this game is the best FPS multiplayer game on the market.

The graphics in this game are some of best yet seen on any system, including PC. This is one of those games that when you see it, you'll definitely say "Wow." The game runs at a rock solid 60 fps and has some fantastic lighting and particle effects. Even when things get hectic on screen the framerate never dips.

The sound in Call of Duty 4 is also top notch. Voice work is believable and helps to keep you involved in the story. The gun sounds are very nice, as well as explosions. It's very gratifying tossing a grenade over to nearby car which enemies are trying to use as cover and then see it explode.

Even though I have yet to finish the campaign, from I have played so far it has been a blast. This game is intense. I have been playing the game on the hardest difficulty, Veteran, and let me say that it will challenge you. Though I've heard the game is short, I think if played on the hardest difficulty the game will not only last a bit longer, but also feel more gratifying.

On the multiplayer end of things, though this game is not as deep as Halo 3, the gameplay itself outshines Halo 3, in my opinion. The gameplay is fast, responsive, and very intense, with very few exploits that I have seen so far. I still haven't gotten out of Team Deathmatch game mode even though I have unlocked all of the other game modes.

One feature I do like is the ability unlock weapons, multiplayer game modes, multiplayer challenges, and perks. The fact that there are no multiplayer achievements may bother some, but think of it as a chance to enjoy the game for the games sake, not so you force trying to get 10 kills in a row at the expense of enjoying the game.

The multiplayer challenges add incentive to keep on playing the multiplayer by giving you new camos for your weapons. Some challenges are straightforward such as get 150 kills with this weapon and some are just fun to try for such as the X Ray Vision Challenge which is killing enemies by shooting them through the wall. Now that sounds like fun. The perk system is also something that should be noted.

The perk system is a great addition to the FPS multiplayer formula. This feature gives people the option to customize their soldier to have certain special abilites during the battle. Some may want to create a sniper who is fast and can't be detected. By giving yourself the added stamina perk for running longer distances along with UAV jammer perk, you can have a sniper who will be hard to find, though with the kill cam feature that shows up after everytime you die, you'll always have an idea of where the person that killed you might be hiding.

It would have been nice to have the option to customize the look of your soldier ala Rainbow Six: Vegas, but it's nothing big, just would have been nice. Also spawn camping is out the window.

This game has a very good spawning/repawning system. It's hard to have a perfect spawn system especially since your opponent is constantly moving around a map. In this game you may be spawned right next to your team who at that moment may be having a air strike dropped on them. Other times you might spawn just on the outskirts of the action. Even though you will spawn and die immediately sometimes, I do not think it happens enough to ruin the experience.

One issue I did come across while playing the multiplayer was that when me and my friends were in a party we would sometimes get separated when going into a game, so we would have to back out and then rejoin into a party. This was a bit of a hassle, but wasn't a deal breaker, since once we got into a game together things went just fine.

This game is a must buy if you are looking for a fantastic FPS/Shooter multiplayer experience.

BEST REALISTIC FIRST PERSON SHOOTER EVER

I have played many fps games on x-box and the 360; Halo, Ghost Recon, etc.
I am five missions in on the single player campaign (regular difficulty). Please note that I come from a real-world military background. Based on my experiences, I have litte patience for over-the-top shooters, with little real-world grounding, and lack of attention to detail. My main go-to game was Battlefield 2, in multiplayer (the single player caimpagn flat sucks). Now it is C.O.D. 4. This game is the most balanced, entertaining and realistic first person shooter I have ever played.

I enjoy Halo, but am aware of its...foibles; 30 foot high jumps, needlers,
etc. C.O.D.4 is totally immersive: enemy A.I., bullet/explosive physics, the difference between cover and concealment, ragdoll physics, sound; it is all here. Coupled with a story and characters you care about! And the Spooky Gunship mission...sheer perfection. They say the devil's in the details. Well someone got the details right.

Regarding Multiplayer: this is a revelation. It is balanced, high tension entertainment that cannot accurate be put into words. The maps are challenging and foster tactics and strategy. This is now the benchmark. The Halo Boys are behind the Eight Ball on this one.

The best of Infinity Ward!

I was a huge fan of Call of Duty 2, which was also the brainchild of Infinity Ward. Call of Duty 4 shows how they have since then honed their juicy game-creating skills and chocked this title to the brim with delights. Shooting an enemy through thin walls, pinpoint satellite barrages, flash bang grenades that actually cause the effects of a flash bang grenade; these just name a few trinkets of the genius presented in this masterpiece. The graphics in the actual game play are enough to make one salivate like Homer Simpson (mmmmnnnn....graphics....achlhhhhh). The physics system is astounding as cars and select walls can be obliterated. The multiplayer is in a league of its own and may cause hours of mind-blowing entertainment. I was a little disappointed with the fact there is no campaign co-op or multiple players allowed on xbox live with one console. As far as Halo 3, I was very pleased. For those who were not satisfied with the Master Chief this time around, Call of Duty 4 is a great alternative. All in all, this title is a true-to-life next-gen experience. A definite must-have.

My favorite FPS!

Pros: Graphics, use of modern weapons, storyline, AC-130 Gunship, and online multiplayer.
Cons: Short storyline, need more AC-130 gunship play,

After reading so many reviews and watching videos of COD4 I ended up buying the game a brand new XBox 360 Elite!

The storyline is great but is a bit short. I literally beat the game in less than 4 hours on the "recruit" level. The use of modern weapons, explosives, and technology is great. The best part of the game is firing the arsenal of the AC-130 Gunship. There's only one mission when you get to do that and I feel that should've been more.

Online multiplayer is very addicting and Infinity Ward did a good job in setting up how to create different class soldiers and that you have to gain experience points to unlock weapons, weapon attachments, challenges, perks, and getting promoted to the next higher rank. Ranking is based on the United States Marine system although COD4 has a lot more added to it.

In my opinon the COD4 online multiplayer is a much better experience than Gears of War, the older COD titles, and Halo.

Get this game! You will not be disappointed.

Nice looking, fun, but not perfect

This is a great game, Better than cod3 , there have been many improvements in graphics since cod3, I wish there where vehicles for the online play but I can live without hopefully we will see that in cod5, but we are now starting to see what the 360 can do when talking about graphics, True multilayer is a little complicated at first but you will get the hang of it eventually, sort of similar to halo, I personally will take halo 3 over cod3 any day but that is just my opinion, I recommend this title if you are a fan of fps games, and if you liked cod3, or halo 3 you will love this title. Please go out and buy it, and I recommend getting it from amazon, but if you choose not to get it from them, I would highly recommend target as they offer a year warranty in case something happens to it, I purchased it from gamestop, but I bought halo 3 and my 360 from target about a month ago. JUST GO OUT AND BUY IT!!!

the perfect shooter

If you enjoy first person shooters then you'll find that Call of Duty 4 is the perfect game. I truly can't find a flaw with it. The control scheme is great, the action is varied, the graphics are amazing and the storyline is exciting. I got through it on the easiest setting fairly quickly and now I'm ready to try it again on a harder level.
