    Uno de los mejores shooters de todos los tiempos, superado por su secuela pero igualmente sigue siendo un juego de época, escenarios ingeniosos, gran jugabilidad y vicio asegurado.

    Easily the best CoD game ever made, a far cry from how terrible the franchise would go on to become. Amazing campaign, stellar multiplayer, and overall the start an incredible trilogy.

    There are outstanding missions such as Chernobyl but in my opinion, the story is just predictable. It's not bad, but not good as Modern Warfare 2 or Black Ops.

    Gunplay, level design, graphics, sounds and music are very good. An excellent start for a great trilogy. I played this game in 2020 for the last time and even after 13 years, this game is at very good condition.

    so many innovations here and a very well developed game for its generation. This game was a breath of fresh air from the previous entry in the series. The sprint factor was everything, engaging multiplayer maps and action and just an overall good game.

    Never played the multiplayer on this, I only had it for the story. The story was good. The ghillie suit mission will always be a classic amazing mission. I remember going through that mission with cheat codes on trying to see how many I can clear out. It was always so fun.

    Cod 4 offers an incredible campaign with interesting characters and story. It has revolutionized the fps genre with a fantastic multiplayer.
    It offers a good variety of customization with you classes, excellent map design and solid gameplay.
    Would have loved to see a third side mode like spec ops in mw2. Still cod 4 is in the top 3 of best cods ever released.

    Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare is the best ps3 call of duty game. Its best Call of duty to introduce you into call of duty games. Its single player campaign is really good. But the thing that makes Call of duty 4 the best, it is it multiplayer. Back in 2007 when Cod 4 was released it's Multiplayer was divine.

    But then arrives part which i loved so much during my walktrough. Ukraije Pripyat. Man.... the atmosphere, environment, structures, signs and posters (which i can read because i can speak russian), stealth action and one of the most known quote : "50000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town". Then goosebumps during nuclear missile launch.

    Shooting model is excelent, multiplayer addictive as hell (its not dead on PS3 in 2020 WOW!!), lot of guns, awesome story and characters.

    Definitely a must play game, definitely best CoD so far, definitely deserved 10/10.    … Expand

    One of the best Call of Duty games. The main appeal for the first three Modern Warfares these days is the campaign. The campaign stories in this game are top notch and the gameplay is great. The movement in older call of dutys are not as good as the newer ones though.

    Call of Duty: 4 Modern Warfare is one of the greatest of it's franchise. It's campaign is very compelling, following the story of John Soap Mactavish, Cpt.Price, and more. The Multiplayer is very fun to play, but I noticed the hackers have overrun this multiplayer, sadly. The Lag as well is very bad at times, but still a solid 8/10

    If you had any skill in the FPS arena, this is the game that changed it all. Nothing quite as polished has been seen since, but our skills have grown and we have grown tired of the repetitive iterations.

    This, is without a single doubt, the greatest FPS, CoD and PS3 game ever made.

    Pros: The gameplay is stunning, the controls are extremely responsive and I never felt frustrated with them at any time. The Single Player campaign is, to put it bluntly, epic. The story was very interesting, the characters were memorable and there were some awesome sequences that I will remember forever.

    The Multiplayer, even now, is spectacular and is definitely the best half of the game. There are so many game modes to choose from and so many people to play with. This game will be 8 years old this year and it is still not old!

    Cons (Very Minor):
    As the game came out in 2007, the graphics don't exactly look stunning today, the game does look dated on PS3. I am sure this is the same case with the 360 and PC versions.

    Overall, this is the best game I have played on the PS3 and if you have or if you are going to get a PS3 or 360, definitely give this game a go!

Every weapon is perfectly balanced, aiming and shooting feels satisfying, and sniping is, simply put, perfect. If you are one of those people who jump on the CoD hate bandwagon, or one of those ignorant people who think all Call of Duties are crap without having played all of them, I strongly recommend you go and play this game.

    Arguably the game which defined a generation. A compelling single player campaign, including one of the best FPS missions created in 'All Ghillied Up', gears you up for one of the best online experiences ever had. Tremendous maps and more about gunplay than killstreak gimmicks demonstrated why this launched Call of Duty into a world phenomenon.

Although the story is weak compared to today's standard, back when this game came out in 2007, its story was groundbreaking mostly due to how it was one of the first modern military shooters to come out. Because of how most of shooters that were released before COD4 were WW2 shooters, COD4 was groundbraking in story, gameplay, and multiplayer because of its modern setting. Some of the side characters are good and have some good radio-chatter, the antagonist (although cliched) has a good backstory (which also leads to one of Call of Duty's best missions ever), and both playable protagonist are mute (Perfect :D). Even though no one talks about COD4's story today, you still have to give IW props for thinking outside the box with storytelling back when this came out. 8/10

    Gameplay:
    A lot of the common CoD SP cliches started here. Some include: Dumb A.I., Michael Bay set-pieces, easy-to-use guns with no recoil in them, a few stealth segments sprinkled here and there, a vehicle mission, slow-mo sections, and sniping. The 1 thing this CoD had that no other CoD has to this day are cheats. You unlock cheats by collecting intel, and this was the only time I wanted to collect cheats outside of trophies collecting (please bring them back). Just like with the story, even though these features are cliche now, back in 07 these were innovating. So give IW credit for creating these before they became cliched. 8/10

    Graphics:
    Because of its 07 release, and because of how the previous CoDs looked, CoD 4's graphics were innovating back then. Even to this day, these graphics don't look bad on PC. 7/10

    Sound:
    Just like in graphics, the sounds of gun shots, vehicles, radio chatter, and explosives were new back in 07, so at least appreciate that. 7/10

    Multiplayer:
    This was by far the biggest change to happen in CoD4 due to how much they added. This was the 1st CoD to add create-a-class, perks, (pre-set) killstreaks, mini-map, camos, challenges, prestige mode, and attachments. Another big thing was how balanced the guns were back then (except martydom and last stand :( ). I find it hilarious how CoD4 has more balance then some of the newer CoDs. The only bad thing about the multiplayer is how it's filled with hackers, glitches, exploits, and that it's been abandoned. Good luck getting into a good match since most of the time, there will be a hacker there. It's sad to see such a classic multiplayer like this get ruined by the community. R.I.P. CoD 4 multiplayer. (07 rating: 10/10). Current Rating: 4/10

    Verdict:
    Back in 2007, this CoD was ground-breaking. They added so many new features and mechanics that it's disappointing to see how far it dropped. If this were 2007, I'd recommend you buy this game ASAP, But now, just rent it. I'm still gonna give this game it's 2007 rating, but I'm not saying buy it now. The game's dead.    … Expand

    COD 4 is a pretty good game for shooters that is. One the first big shooters to come out for PS3. The graphics this day are still decent and game plays well. I enjoyed the story and extra missions you could do as a challenge. The best part of this game hands down is the online. Great matchmaking and online maps and a great and long leveling up system that make you want to continue playing.

    COD 4 is such an overrated game, the graphics are really good but the facial animations and explosions are outdated. The gameplay is fast and fluid. The multiplayer is still going strong and it is very fun, but the story mode is really boring, if it wasnt for the multiplayer and the gameplay being fun this game would have been a 5.

That was then, now we got, hacking lobbies, some sort of zombies mode type deal, and pretty much the updated era of gaming has taken over this game in its entirety. Oh wait I never mentioned cage match boosting earlier when I was talking about why this game was great, add that to the list. I gave this game a solid 8, because there was no 8.5, because it just is, really its not perfect nowadays and it wasn't at the time but no game really, IS TRULY perfect. Another reason why is because of delayed hit markers, no host migration, and the ability to be struck down by any with a hacking mod, if you were to go play the game right now. The maps could have been bigger, and just conclusively the mics could have worked way better. I mean the mic system in COD4 had extreme lag and sometimes you couldn't even get out what you wanted to say without giving the mic a good blow to initiate the symbol on the screen( this could have just been me ,I don't know). Anyway, yeah great game, some really good stuff and some really okay stuff, but overall its safe to say this game was the best thing I have put in my disc drive around 2007, it changed my gaming experience forever.… Expand

Then I started to play the game. THe gameplay was perfect and accurate, the story was perfect, the graphics were godsent and the multiplayer was amazing. This is my second favourite game on the ps3 and probably in general. The only thing that lets it down is the story is too short and if it would of been longer by about 4 hours and the server wouldn't crash as often, I would of give it a 100.

That type of gameplay was already antiquated by the time of Modern Warfare's release. Also, the story was just uninteresting overall. So...
