MikeC.Nov 8, 2007Game of the year by a good margin. Halo 3 is now nothing more than a very expensive coaster after playing COD 4: MW. Purely spectacular and completely addicting, the Halo fanboys may hate to here it, but all facets of COD 4 not only surpass Halo 3, but do so by a healthy margin.

MikeP.Nov 9, 2007"Halo 3"...what's that? This game is amazing, intense...and the multiplayer is insanely fun, as is the campaign. Graphics are jawdropping, and the physics spot on. The guy who voted 5 out of 10 doesn't deserve to share the same airspace as the rest of us. COD4 is at the top of the FPS heap, and never lets go of your senses.

CodyM.Dec 13, 2007This game was like going to every other game company and just telling them they suck strait to there face. Online is amazing while i will agree that single player is short but if you play it on veteran it is extremely difficult which is better but this game is a must have if you like First Person Shooters.
-
-
PaulB.Dec 2, 2007Ok - so the single player is short but it is oh so sweet. It is absolutely stunning in every level. The chernobyl level in particular is probably one of the best in videogame history. Add to that a multiplayer experience that possibly even eclipses that of Halo 3 and you're onto a surefire winner.

CodyB.Dec 8, 2007The single player is the most intense FPS ever. The gameplay and flow are not as good as Halo 3 but the real part that sucks you in is the multiplayer! It blows Halo 2 and 3 out of the water. PERIOD!

EddieE.Jan 29, 2008Story mode might be short, but it was well put together and i wouldnt change a thing! Multi-player is so much fun, you can get addicted very easily! best game there is!

ShayP.Feb 24, 2008I loved this game! When sniping, you have to have everything right or the shot will miss, such as if the wind is blowing! I say everyone will love this game from the first 10 minutes to the last 10 seconds.

MLambrechtMar 14, 2008Call of Duty 4 has the best online game play for the 360. Create your class is one of the greatest things put into a game. I hate having to shoot someone 50 times before they die (Halo3). This is a must have game.
-
-
SamJ.Mar 28, 2008even after all the hype, Boishock was crappy compared to this. only other games that even come close are halo 3, rainbow six and gears of war. and thats close, they don't manage to better. game of the year, hands down... except for maybe Crysis on pc. anyway... brilliant game.

TSOct 11, 2009One of the best shooters, and best games, ever. The singleplayer, while short, is just amazingly well-done. And the online is very addicting and well made. Also, it helps that it's a popular game, as people still play it to this day.
-
-
AndrewMOct 16, 2009"J.S." must be blind, deaf, and uncoordinated to think that World at War can even be compared to this game. CoD4 delivers a great narrative single player mode, disgustingly good multiplayer, and is filled with small details that make the game one of the best ever. If you haven't had the pleasure of trying it out, do so before the sequel comes out in November.

-
AdamNov 11, 2007Although the campaign is short it is non-stop action all the way, and upon completion you unlock a few extra features that give it an even longer life span. Where the game really gets its legs is in its multi-player. I consider it the best an FPS can offer in terms of online play and has my vote for game of the year.
-
-
JimmyH.Nov 12, 2007Very good. Only problems are that there is no offline co-op, and that theres only one C-130 map.
-
-
MitchellC.Nov 13, 2007Graphic and sound is awesome...gameplay is intense and satisfying.
-
-
JR.Nov 24, 2007This is truly the best FPS ever. The single player is not the best ive played (still awesome) but, the mutiplayer brings this FPS game to where none i have ever played have gone. Halo 3 really just got the boot as a GOTY contender now that this came out (thank god)....so it should be between COD4 and Mass Effect.

Jan 24, 2011Second best game I have ever played on any xbox system...Original Halo. That said this game is by far the best war game ever made. The weapons are great, the killing is great. I love how you can bomb people from the sky with a remote. Very violent, great.
-
Mar 10, 2011FPS perfection!! Theres very few games I would give a 10 too but the Call of Duty Series, (especially Infinity Ward) is definitely an exception to the rule. There is no Game out there that has the intensity in single player mode and game play and frame rate in multi-player. There is no substitution for the Whole Call of Duty Series!!

May 12, 2011The best game of 2007, hands down. Infinity Ward has revived the franchise to it's true potential. With an interesting story with memorable environments and locations, and extremely fun, intense, and addicting mulitplayer, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, is the reason why Call of Duty, is where it is at today.
-
Nov 24, 2011Intriguing story, actually fun multiplayer (and I don't like very many multiplayer games), and great visuals for its time, this is a game that is not to be missed. One of the best of the generation.
-
May 28, 2011One of my favorite FPS, I find it funny how all the negative reviews are coming from PS3 fanboys and Halo fanboys...lulz
-

-
Jul 5, 2011In my opinion, this is by far the best call of duty. The story is great, along with the characters. The multiplayer is also great, with a great variety of guns. The only negative that you could possibly find about this game, is, the glitches that occur later on in the game. so if you are looking for a game with a great story, and a spectacular ending, then you should pick up call of duty 4.

Jan 3, 2012The new face of war. I was uninterested in playing this sort of action war games and rather sick of the Call of Duty series until this entry came along and completely blew me away. Very tight narrative coupled with intense combat and some truly amazing moments makes for one real hell of a game.
-
Nov 15, 2011The standard that all FPS games have to live up to. even mw2 and 3 aren't as good as this. Simply amazing game that blew me away in 2007 and still does today. without a doubt the best fps game of the last 10 years
-

Nov 8, 2011I believe that this is the high water mark of this generation's first person shooters. The story mode is a blast and the online MP is nonstop fun. Loving this game might make me a "fanboy", but I'll be damned if I care.
-
Nov 15, 2011Game was the original! The best of all the FPS of its time. First shooter I ever played and still one of the best. Haha. All I have to say is that....This game was the Legend. Mw2 the Prodigy. Mw3 the failure.
-
Nov 13, 2011The only good Call of Duty besides 3 2 and 1. This game is the epitome of solid gunplay, tight controls and great hit detection. Even today its a blast to play. Way better than crappy warfare 3
-
Dec 7, 2011A Complete and total FPS innovation. If you played this game then you know the deal. The greatest Call of Duty that ever was. Truly no other compares.
-
Dec 17, 2011In my opinion the last truly innovative Call of Duty. Great multiplayer and jaw dropping campaign that I played for days, literally days, and I still play now. I just wish that the rest of the COD games were as original as this one.
-
Jan 19, 2012This Cod is the best cod because it is balanced enough and it is fun. SIngle player was great. I don't like playing arcade mode because it doesn't really change the game much but this is the awesome thing you would want to buy.
-
Feb 1, 2012best game ever .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Feb 13, 2012best multiplayer game of all times, it was an instant classic. the only thing thats really **** is that everyone cheats nowdays, you cant play a game in public without 3-4 players are floating in the air and stuff. however the first 2 years with this game was amazing
-
Feb 28, 2012classic joint. this call of duty set the bar for the rest. every new call of duty uses this one as the standard. my favorite call of duty. many good memories on this one.
-
Mar 6, 2012I still play this after 5 years. It has gotten pretty bad online in the last year and a half because mods don't regulate, but you can still sometimes find good matches. Single players was awesome and compelling and almost flawless if not for the slap in the face ending. Multiplayer was very balanced except for juggernaut and painkiller. Otherwise one of the best FPS's ever made.

Jun 2, 2012The year is now 2012, we have MW3 and soon we will have BO2. And yet CoD4 will forever be the greatest CoD game ever. And coming in second WaW. CoD4 was so simply yet so superb. I am a die hard Halo fan and I approve of this game.
-
Jun 8, 2012This is a game that I went out of my way to play the single player, when I usually just skip to the competitive multiplayer. This is still my favorite of all of the Call of Duty games from this amazing franchise. I enjoy how simple and balanced the gameplay is. Please do yourself a favor and pick this up for the sheer fun that it will bring to you.

Nov 28, 2012The best game ever made. My favorite franchise overall is halo, but this game is my all time favorite game. I had a boner for many hours a day and i didn't even take Viagra. I did horrible in school for the longest time and was addicted to this game forever. Modern warfare was a great idea **** the WW2 ****
-
Jul 4, 2013From its classically intriguing story, its fascinating characters, its perfectly revolutionary multiplayer, and its absolutely gorgeous breadth of graphical milestones, "Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" easily lifts the shooter genre above its head and carries it to new heights.

Feb 26, 2013In 2007, boasts a fairly good graphics nawatjiman.
Is the best single-player. FPS game ever in the history of the game has such a good story is not uncommon. Have and have not seen anyone try modern warfare background.
Optimization is recommended. Frame without a break in the low-end computer.
Multiplayer is also very good. Weapon has a good balance and the various maps. -

Mar 10, 2013The best Call of Duty no doubt, incredible for making montages and commented gameplays in youtube. Activision couldn't make a better game than this one. I love it!
-
Mar 17, 2013This was amazing game, and STILL is. This game beats Mw3, Blops 1 and 2. This game started Montages for COD and went even further by making it Modern and fast pace. I really wished they made more DLC but over I STILL love it and STILL an awesome game.
-
Jul 6, 2013One of the best FPS's ever made it was so innovative in the multiplayer and there is still a large multiplayer community. the story is well done and the voice acting is great and the characters are well-written and the graphics might not look so good today it still runs at 60 FPS so don't listen to the naysayers a must buy

Aug 7, 2013There has not been a better cod since this. This was the start of the cod franchise because this game was just way too good. This was when Infinity Ward was actually good
-
Nov 8, 2013This game was a masterpiece for its time. It made me get off the Halo series and it set the standard for FPS. This game easily one of my favorite games of all time.

Mar 11, 2014This was, by far, the best FPS shooter ever released. This was truly Call of Duty's best game. It was so simple, yet SO great. It had flaws, good flaws that made a game fun. You know, fun, the f word that didn't make you scream. It was the PERFECT game. If I was rich. I would take this game, upgrade the graphics, and release it again.

Jul 7, 2014Probably the best CoD there is.. this game is the least frustrating call of duty out. Maps, perks and guns are perfect and no overpowered ks, guns RC cars
-
Jul 14, 2014In my opinion this is the best call of duty game and nothing can beat this game. Campaign is really fun with and without cheat codes. It's short but it's multiplayer makes up for the short campaign. Multiplayer has a variety of weapons and perks to choose from.

Sep 12, 2014best game ever made on console. its truly sad where this franchise has went. totally down the toilet with activision pumping and dumping games with the cod name on it just to make profit as fast as they can. truly shameful. long live cod 4.

Jan 20, 2015split screen or single player are both fun even if i get beet by someone who is new at this i mean really it is surprising that a new person like that can beet you at your own game that you been playing longer than her

Jul 1, 2015Sem mais melhor jogo da franquia esse multiplayer muito bem trabalhado , Parabéns pelos desing , progamadores , roteristas e etc da Infinity Ward , Tomare que tenha uma remake
-
Oct 20, 2015This game was revolutionary. The first person genre would not be the same without this game. The addition of the perk system is groundbreaking. On top of great multiplayer, the campaign was 2nd to none

-
Jul 21, 2018One of the last good Call of duty games made. The campaign had a great storyline and was fun to play through although it unfortunately didn't have local co-op unlike Halo games of the time. The multiplayer is the best aside from mw2.

Jul 30, 2020Definitely one of the best first-person shooter games and the best trilogy ever. All three games are a must-play for a complete experience.
-
Jul 22, 2020The game in the series that would change it forever.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the game that got me into Call of Duty. I wish they could just make Call of Duty's like this again. -
Aug 12, 2022One of the best FPS games ever made and some of the best times I've ever had with online multiplayer.
-
Nov 17, 2022An amazing multiplayer experience! The sineplayer story is excellent! At the release of this game I couldn't ask for more!
-
Dec 27, 2020In my Opinion, the Best COD game ever made, it had everything that a COD game needed, a brilliant story, a revolutionary online gameplay and some of the best characters in any Video game ever.

Awards & Rankings
-
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.
