    This game is pretty good, with a really cool story, I really enjoyed Captain Price as always, and the multiplayer in this game paved way for what would become some of the best line up of games ever made. The customization of weapons in this game was phenomenal. The only issue I have is that it felt like the campaign was short, even though it was really incredible.

    I played this game during a couple of very stressfull years of my life, when it was released. If i completed the main story mode, i dont even remember. But the on-line mode... i was addicted. I know most of the maps by heart to this day.

    "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" is a masterpiece. This is one of the greatest video games of all time. The first COD entry set in modern times, it was developed by series creator Infinity Ward.

The campaign is flawless and the online multiplayer is in the tradition of "Counter Strike". Over ten years old, "Call of Duty 4" is still a fantastic game. I would give it a 9.4 out of 10.… Expand

    This game was revolutionary for the genre.

    Surprisingly fun shooting mechanics, and great atmosphere

    The story is very memorable and it has some very iconic missions.

    The multiplayer is very enjoyable, with great maps and guns.

    Overall it's my favorite game in the series, this game has everything a Call of Duty game needs, it's the whole package.

    Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.

    This game is alright. I finished the campaign and loved it but compared to modern Call of Duty games, it's not that great. I unfortunately missed out of playing multiplayer back when it was popular. One thing I don't like too much was the graphics. It was too grainy for me, I could barley see anything.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I first got this game after my friend was bored of playing it and i first put it in my 360 thinking "lets see how much of a trainwreck this game truly is" and my god was this game phenomenal. The characters i just fell in love with like Soap and Price and Gaz. The story made me feel immersed and the missions were like nothing i've ever seen before in a game. It was revolutionary and nothing will ever compare to this game. The only complaint i have is that i feel as if they wasted our time with Sergeant Paul Jackson. He had no personality whatsoever and he just died just like that it was annoying. If i'm going to play as a character i better be there for the long haul and if not there for the long haul then at least give him some personality. I get the whole nuke thing but Jackson just felt so 2D it was boring. But at least the missions he played in were fun as hell. The only thing i dread about this game is that knowing what i know now is that this started video games love for US vs Russia as the crux of a ton of games to come. I think its overdone but that's just with my current knowledge. I went back and played this recently on veteran and god damn is this still fun. solid 8/10.… Expand

    This game was my first time playing Call of Duty and it was so good. Very few Call of Duty games have managed to top this one in quality for campaign or multiplayer. The story here is great albeit a little short. Price & Soap are the best and every mission in the campaign was awesome. The multiplayer is also great, including the maps and weapons available. This game is a must-play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 9.5 out of 10 (rounded up to 10).

    Call of Duty is the definitive videogame cash cow. It is basically the Micheal Bay of gaming. There are plenty of explosions, the budgets are gigantic, they make a tonne of revenue and most importantly, they haven't really innovated in 2 years. Most of these claims can be laid at the feet of the game that started it all: Modern Warfare. In all fairness, I doubt Infinity Ward even thought about the large amount of sequels that could potentially follow this game. After all, everybody thought that a modern shooter wouldn't work- that it would fall apart after so many games spent in WWII. That never happened.

    The single player campaign of MW popularised the approach to turn FPS narratives into globe trotting linear levels, that go through dozens of set pieces in less than 6 hours. Off course, this is the real negative of the game. The plot can't sustain pace all too well and so you'll have this wrapped up in one really long session. But that doesn't mean it sucks. The bombastic campaign is set piece after set piece, with an epic ship infiltration, a tank driving sequence and a kinetic car chase all making the cut. Of course there is also the iconic "All Ghillied Up" Sniper level which sees you sneaking through an abandoned city with one ally and plenty of soldiers after you. It is still the greatest FPS level of all time. The levels aren't open at all with funnelled corridors making for the most interesting environnments, but this linearity suits the game. It has been criticised for this in more recent entries.

    The story is one of the best in COD history, as a mysterious Russian villain begins to cause widespread havoc, even though the instantly likeable Captain Price thought he had assassinated him years ago. You take the role of John "Soap" Mactavish, a new recruit who just wants to prove himself. Multiple twists and turns are taken and the use of multiple roles (even if Soap is the main character), helps to flesh out the story. A particular level uses the first-person perspective in a genuinely disturbing way. The killing of certain characters also helps the player to develop a strong emotional feeling, even if this is the first installment.

    The game is designed with a high level of replayability in mind. There are multiple difficulty levels and an addictive Arcade mode. In fact, the epilogue level of the game that comes after the credits is probably one of the most replayable levels in gaming history. The campaign is so inviting that you will want to go back and play through it again. The short length is certainly a detractor, but collectibles and achievements certainly add more time to the experience. But enough about single player, because multiplayer is the main attraction of Modern Warfare.

    The modes are excellent. From Team Deathmatch to Capture the Flag, there is a wide range of variety on offer. This means that investing hours into the mode won't get repetitive like it does in other shooters. The maps are fairly large, but certain ones are designed to be tiny. The close quarters feel is what makes the COD MP so unique and that is firmly established here. The ship map that is ripped from the campaign is a particular campaign, but most of them are instant classics and the DLC helps to increase the amount of environments on offer. It may not be as dynamic as Battlefield, but it certainly is more polished and more approachable. The slick gunplay and easy control scheme are perfectly suited to the game. This is further advanced by the quick use of gadgets and the fast switching- this may seem like a small compliment in these days, but back 7 years ago, it was revolutionary. So was the levelling system and the constant influx of new weapons and gear. It plays out like an RPG online and that is truly an amazing advancement. THe scoresteaks and perks are fairly outlandish in such a grounded setting, but they still work to make this an unpredictable and exhilarating experience.

    So Modern Warfare is responsible for plenty of annoying things. Short campaign. Check. Lack of open choice and environments. Check. Campers. Check. Twelve-year olds with screechy voices. Check. Yep, this popularised pretty much what everyone hates about the genre. If you look past its damaging legacy and embrace it for what it is, you'll get the third best Call of Duty out, just behind BLOPSII and MW2- but that's my opinion.    … Expand

Adding cherry to the top is the fun and new spec ops mode. The campaign looks towards a more blockbuster feel this time around as there are clearly more emphasis toward setpieces and explosions. Tying this together is a story, while not living to its full potential, sets up some fantastic segments throughout the whole game. It also has a controversial scene that may turn the media's head. The multiplayer is better than ever. With rebalancing and new killstreak awards, it becomes more addicting to play. Last but not least the new and fun addition Spec Ops mode. It can be played by yourself or cooperatively. It gathers inspiration from the campaign and Call of Duty 4. These are fast and fun bits that are even better with a friend. With all this in mind, my only three major gripes with the game are 1) The story isn't too interesting 2) The AI is lacking and enemies keep respawning. 3) The multiplayer needs a bit of balancing. Other than that, Modern Warfare 2 establishes Call of Duty as a brand that will stick for a long time.… Expand

The single player mode took in a huge variety of locations putting the player in control of both a U.S Marine and British S.A.S. soldier fighting through an unfolding story, that while still light years behind the best movies, was full of twists and turns that kept the player guessing. At the time the game play was a huge leap forward for console shooters coupling rock solid controls with fantastic set pieces in which too test your skills. For me, although each of the sequels other than World at War were also very good, this first Modern Warfare title remains the pinnacle of the franchise in this regard.

    It was of course the multi-player however that truly made Modern Warfare stand out from the crowd. I had never been interested in any on-line shooter before but spent weeks playing on this. The fantastic gunplay from the single-player was coupled with an excellent selection of maps and the all important perk system, now a standard for any on-line FPS. Allowing players the chance to customise their characters weapon set, special ability and appearance was a masterstroke and has helped make Call of Duty the most valuable franchise in gaming today.    … Expand

    Modern Warfare delivers on the hype. It's a great looking game, has a solid campaign, and great online multi-player. More importantly, it shows that Infinity Ward can break from what they are comfortable with and still deliver a great game. Hopefully this trend continues.

    Simply put, Call of Duty 4 does everything right and nearly nothing wrong. But where it elevates itself above even the best 360 shooters is how all of the good stuff is ludicrously good. The campaign never lets up, while multiplayer is a triple-A affair in itself. [Dec 2007, p.36]

    COD4 is cutting-edge entertainment, but the downside to this dense and gripping delivery is that it's over far too quickly: five to six hours on Normal difficulty...COD4 is short but immensely satisfying and we can't wait for a post-modern revival. [Dec 2007, p.73]

    Though the single-player lacks length, the multiplayer should keep you invested in COD4 for the long winter. This is a truly fantastic multiplayer offering that's as deep as any other online game available.
