This game is just awesome. The campaign and the online mode are both fun to play. Tons of weapon choices, and it will make you feel like right in the game. Just remember, get some awesome hardware. You can play this on high resolution on a MacBook Pro 15incher, 2.4ghz w 2GB RAM. Otherwise, there are higher settings with better hardware, but its fine with what I have.

Awesome game but...

Pros: I thought this game was great. It has a nice feel to it, the graphics are incredible, and from the first mission you are intensely drawn into it. It is a nice change from the previous world war two CoD's although those were great too.

Cons: I can come up with several more cons but don't get me wrong this was a great game. As I am sure you've heard the campaign is disappointingly short and despite the "Arcade Mode" there's not much you can do besides multi player once you have beaten the game, which is a problem without a fast enough connection. I have talked to other people and they also agree that they get shot in the back by their allies, personally I don't care how realistic that is, getting shot in the back by your allies in a computer game bothers me. The last thing I'll mention is shooting people, often when you run around a corner and blaze everything with your machine gun, people don't all die, that in it's self is fine, but when you try to run past someone who is lying on the floor in death throes you can't. The guy can look exactly the same when he's dead but you can't run over him, this is particularly annoying in thin passageways.

Well, I hope you enjoy the game, I sure did.

Call for Duty 4 - Outstanding

At first I didn't know if I could make the transition from the great World War II Call for Duty games and their historic battles, old guns, and the war we studied, if not lived.

Call for Duty is very futuristic and is fiction, not history. It takes place in the Middle East against those bad terrorists. And since it is fiction it is more like a book, with consistent people, villains and a very interesting mission and an outstanding ending. The whole disk is dedicated to one mission but with submissions and detours, as it is in war.

At the end, another soldier involves you, the player, in a way that I have never seen before. Again, the ending is great.

I had no difficultly adjusting to the new high tech gums, ammo and equipment, in fact I liked them. Initially I thought they were going to be too complex but discovered they are simply neat.

Finally, --- after buying Medal of Honor - Airborne and discovering it would not run at all on my four month old new laptop and ran unacceptably on my desk top --- I loved how well Call for Duty 4 loaded and ran without any difficulty. And this is not the first time I have discovered this difference in operations and quality between these two providers of games.

"Intense action" indeed, A Perfect Gaming Experience

If you liked Call of Duty games, then you should love Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This is one great looking, great playing game.

Call of Duty 4 is one of the best games to come out in the last few years for alot of reasons. The graphics, the sound, the environments. For me, its the part when you get the man the guns of a Lockheed AC-130 Spectre Gunship.. oh man, that was (105mm cannon and 20mm gatling guns) AWESOME!!

I finished playing this game after around 20 hours but it has alot of replay value. The missions vary quite nicely and there is a nice choice of weapons. My favorite is the Dragonov. In real life the Barrett .50cal would be better but the game throws so many enemies at you so fast that the Dragonov's quicker fire rate comes in handy.

The enemy AI is very good, better than most. Grenades get thrown back at you if you start chucking grenades at bad guys. Enemies set traps and snipe effectively.

The best part: NO CRAZY VALVE/STEAM registration process. You buy the game, you own the game.

Call of Duty 4, worth every penny.

Get in the war

Great graphics and intense action. I felt submerged in a war, or at least in a war movie. And as I read somewhere, this game does not really innovate the First-Person Shooting genre, but certainly pushes it to (almost) perfection.

A brilliant action-packed pure shooter

I have just finished learning to breathe again without involuntary breath-holding! A pure action shooter with a believeable storyline (having been involved in the real GWOT) and authentic voice-overs, weapons and scenarios. The sniper mission in the former USSR (flash-back sequence) is fast and furious and has one immersed in the action to point of flinching. The modern sequences convey the tension, adrenaline and finality of failure and manage to produce a nail-biting finish on every level. Nice mexican moustache on the SAS boy too! Easily the best COD yet!

Like playing a Tom Clancy novel.

I know Tom Clancy has his own game company (Red Storm), but this game is more like his early book that company is named after (Red Storm Rising).

It's military "hardware porn" at its finest. Over-the-top and constantly moving.

I loved previous releases of CoD, so was expecting a lot from CoD4. Here is what I wrote to Activision tech support recently:
"The game works fine, but the colors are very poor: everything is grey with some patches of brown, dark green or dark red.
I use Asus G1S, Vista Home Premium, 2.20 Ghz, 2 Gb Ram,NVidia 8600. I experimented with various graphics settings, and the best (though not good enough - see above) is at "optimal settings".
Any advice/guidance will be very much appreciated."

Here is their original response:

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to write to Activision. We do not test our games with notebooks or laptop computers so we cannot guarantee compatibility with our games.

Many problems occur when trying to run high-end games on laptop computers. Laptops are fundamentally different from desktop machines in a variety of ways, ranging from power consumption to heat dissipation to processor throttling.

The largest and most significant difference for gaming purposes is the video adapter. Unlike desktop machines the video adapter in a laptop is designed to power an LCD screen, use little power, and generate little heat. Anything else like OpenGL or Direct3D performance is secondary. They are not as flexible as desktop video adapters and typically not as powerful.

Many laptop adapters are based on desktop equivalents however. For example, ATi has both a Radeon X1300 and a Radeon X1300 Mobility. nVidia has both a Geforce 7900 and a Geforce 7900 Go. While the core architecture and the names are similar, this isn't enough to guarantee games which run on the desktop will run on laptops. To complicate things further, different laptop manufacturers custom modify the graphics chipsets. A game might run on a Radeon Mobility in a machine from one manufacturer, but not on the same card in a different company's machine. Also, due to the custom modifications each laptop manufacturer provides their own drivers for the video adapter, which may not be as functional and up to date as needed to run games. Because of these modifications ATI and Nvidia do not
provide drivers for their laptop chipsets.

In general, the following tips should help when trying to run a game on a laptop computer. Please bear in mind due to the factors above we cannot guarantee functionality.
-Download and install the latest video driver from the laptop manufacturer.
-If possible, try playing on an external monitor instead of the integrated LCD.
-Do not play when running on batteries - plug the laptop in.

With that said we cannot guarantee that this game will run on laptops. "

I just thought that laptop users should be aware of these warnings before they buy this game - or any other "high-end" games.

I bought this game for my boyfriend for Christmas. He won't stop playing it! He loves it so much, sometimes he doesn't have time to spend with me anymore! It sounds like there are amazing graphics and it is pretty realistic. This was a really great purchase!
