 Incredible Game for Live Players October 14, 2008
In Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare you get to try your hand at being a US Marine and British SAS in modern time battles. The game is fast, furious and a great challenge for your reflexes and talents.
We have played through the game numerous times now, on various settings. They do a great job of offering a gentle introduction for those who need it, as well as a truly insane mode for those who want the ultimate challenge. I wouldn't say any of the levels are a walk in the park, though. The game is all about tense combat situations. You have bullets flying all around you, noise bombarding your head, people screaming out for help. You have to be able to juggle your priorities, have eyes in the back of your head, and have a good stereo system to help you figure out where to turn.
The developers did an awesome job here. From the detail of the graphics, the depth of the audio experience, the checkpointing system, everything is pretty top notch.
Single player is really a training ground for you. It just isn't that long - you could play through the entire game in a full day, even on the harder levels once you build up your skills. It is meant to teach you how to play, how to strategize and how to prepare for the actual challenge - live humans.
Now that being said, it is a REAL shame that there is no co-op mode. Some of the best fun we have in our gaming household is playing games like this side by side. It is amazingly rewarding. Why can't they add that ability in here? It wouldn't be that hard to integrate and it would make the game SO much more useful for us.
They do have an XBox Live component, though. This is where things shine. You can now play literally for months and months without getting bored. However, I am aware that a contingent of people out there simply cannot play on the Live network, for a variety of reasons. For those people I might suggest renting the game for a weekend and see how much it appeals to you. It might be you enjoy replaying the single player missions - but it might be that a few times through is enough for you.
Finally, I have to recommend that hard core gamers consider getting high quality headphones if there are non-gamers in the household. The noise level of this game is HUGE and it is just constant - screaming, bombs, guns, more screaming. It is great for the player, but less great for other people who are trying to do their normal household activities :)

Graphics are great. Sound and gameplay is great. AI is great. The missions in this game were very well done. The story adds a lot of weight to what you are doing. THE MISSIONS IN THIS GAME WERE INCREDIBLY INTENSE. In my opinion, Gears of War holds the best Co-op FPS experience but Call of Duty 4 takes the cake for Single Player FPS action.
I may be a little biased.. October 8, 2008
But I absolutely love this game. I have been a big time fan of the Call of Duty series since it's first installment on PC. I loved the first two Call of Duty games but this one is by far the best one out of all of them. It takes the winning formula that makes Call of Duty so great and adds upon it even more depth and realism. The single player is pretty good but not the best, but it's the multi-player that gets you hooked. It will give you something to do for months. I've been playing this game over Xbox Live since it's release in November of 2007. They have a ranking system that once you go through the first 55 levels you have the option to enter "Prestige Mode". It's a cool feature and it will give those who achieve the highest prestige some bragging rights. There are so many different types of guns to use from assault rifles, light machine guns, to sniper rifles and you can unlock different attachments and skins or "camouflage"
for your guns. All in all, it's a highly addictive game and don't feel too bad if you start playing and get kicked around because we all had our humble beginnings to say the least.
Great game, but make sure you want to rock it multiplayer October 6, 2008
This game is great - very cinematic, yet extremely engaging. My only gripe would be that, in single player, it's pretty short for a FPS. Hop on Live and keep it going; you'll have a great time.
This has single-player?? Multi rules! September 17, 2008
My son got this and couldn't put it down for a week. I finally watched decided it looked like fun, tried it when he wasn't around, then got hooked.
I played just the first two sections of the single-player campaign. While it is created very well, the multi-player is so good that I can't go back to single.
The multi has 11 different ways to play. There's different was to play team deathmatches, a capture the flag game (Domination), setting a bomb & preventing the other team from defusing it, etc.
Plus as you get experience points and get promoted up the ranks, you'll get more choices in weapons, add-ons, and perks.
Also, there's about 15 different maps. They're all done amazingly well, with what's obscured, where the hiding places are, the size, etc. Also, they put in the effect your eyes have in the daylight of when you're in a building and walk towards a window, at first you just see white glare, but as you get closer, you can see the things outside.
If you've never played multi-player, it's not like single that requires a start to finish, specific order type thing. Multi is pretty free-form. That's the awesomeness of it. By the way, there are still thousands of players throughout the day playing all the types on Xbox Live.
The only drawback is that you'll need to subscribe to Xbox Live for multi-player. Obviously I think it's worth it. Do it!
This is easily my favorite Xbox game. I love it. There's just so much you can do, & b/c it's live & multi-player, there's not that much redundancy.
