    What an amazing game, nothing like it on the 360 that compares to this beauty.

    Based on the 360 multiplayer beta, I have to give this game a 9, only because there were only 3 available maps and at least half of the game was locked. I fully expect to give this game a 10 rating when it is released, because the beta by itself was ridiculously addictive...

    This game is the one of the best war games ever. Online play is excellent you can actually play with your friends by inviting them to your party and searching for a game together. The action is intense, none stop bullets flying by you head, explosions everywhere, call for air strikes from above, or helicopter support.

The developers of COD4 finally figured out how to defeat the art of spawn killing, I love the random spawning. Great game a must have, GRAW2 and RAINBOW need to take a back seat to COD4. Expand

    Call of Duty2 was by far the best of the trio, untill now! I have only played the multiplayer beta but from that i have decided that COD4 is the new daddy. Cross Rainbow6 with COD2 and you have your man. I have been racking my brains to find something bad about the beta but i can't, the controls are where you want them, fast but smooth, graphics and sound are top notch and theCall of Duty2 was by far the best of the trio, untill now!

But one question remains, will the single player kick as much ass as the multi-player and if it doesn't i don't care cause i'll be online, kickin' backside. Expand

  1. 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]
  2. 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.
