Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

...utterly nailed the metamorphosis of Call of Duty. Playing as a U.S. Marine and staggering from the flaming ruins of a downed chopper, I fell and breathed my last toxic breaths surveying a scene of desolate post-nuclear destruction. This interlude was entirely for dramatic effect, you see, and on its own would have been a pretty awesome moment for any FPS. Yet it was something else which made this a uniquely refreshing inclusion for a game in the ...
...Allied war heroes of yesteryear, Call of Duty expertly exploits its modern-day licence to portray war the way it should be: ugly, visceral, and at times morally ambiguous. Playing the split role of S.A.S. soldier and U.S. Marine, with a bit of Russian Spetsnaz thrown in to remind us that we're all supposed to be friends now, you're whisked around the world playing a mix of stealthy infiltration and balls out yee-hawing against a nuclear enabled Russian ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

...mentioned before I really enjoyed Call of Duty 3 and I wasn't too sure how they could improve this series, especially the on-line play. I felt that another game could push the series a bit thin a bit like some sequels to films. So after playing this now since its release was I left disappointed or did it completely stop my quest for finding something constructive? THE IDEA BEHIND THE GAME Ok I knew before I played this game that the makers had ...
...I wanted to play it, Call of Duty 3 was my favourite on line play and I wanted to see how the makers have topped it. And I am please to report top it they have!! There is so much more to the live play of this game to start with the maps are taken from the game and there are 16 different ones, some are great for snipers and some are just grenade and shoot as fast as you can! The different matches are Team death match, free for all, domination, ground ...

...by far the most popular call of duty game released, and it is not hard to see why, there are many many positive points to this game. Story The story for this can take part in many locations throughout the game, Prypiat, Russia and the middle east, You are hunting down the terrorists as mainly a young SAS member named Soap MacTavish, but also as Sergeant Paul Jackson of the USMC. You Will be in search of a terrorist named al-asad who publicly performs ...

The Call of Duty Franchise has always been good for graphics, RPG Smoke Trails, Giant Explosions, Muzzle flash, Weather Effects, Wall Marks (bullet Holes and scars) You Can play through a level seeing dead bodies and c4 packs flashing around. Difficulty Well the game is pretty simple on recruit and the one above i cant remember, but if you play on hardened or veteran expect a great challenge ahead of you. It is ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

...much to do with the Call of Duty series. I own Call of Duty 2 for X - Box but wasn't really that impressed to be honest with you. Compared to Brothers in Arms and Medal of Honour I found Call of Duty 2 to be far to easy and although the concept of following the 1st Division through the war was interesting I found there was far to little story line. Additionally the levels were basic and over to quickly. So when a friend offered to trade Call of Duty ...
...by that point) I was a bit apprehensive. But I went for it anyway and I was pleasantly surprised. In COD 4 you take on the roles of Soap Mctavish, newly selected SAS trooper and Sgt Paul Johnson of the US Marines. Missions revolve around arms dealers in Russia and revolution in the Middle East and they are split pretty evenly between the two characters. The first thing is the graphics which are amazing. Each environment and character are rendered ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

Essentially a standard FPS, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare stands high above the rest, carving a new path in the oh-so-typical and familiar world of war games. The Call of Duty franchise has been going now since the original game was created in the fall of 2003, and has since released a steady stream of games (each of terrific quality) into the public domain. Initially no more original really than the Medal of Honour games, with it's increase in ...
...of Duty 2 and 3 saw some real leaps in graphics and in gameplay style. The latest game is yet another leap forward for the franchise and implies that they will keep going strong for some time to come. The single player campaign gameplay style is refreshingly different with this title, playing out far more like a film than a game. The character you control alternates between a member of the US MarineCorps, and a member of the British SAS. As you ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

...That's outdated now. Look to Call of Duty 4. But first, let's go into the single player mode. The single player story mode pits you as Private Soap McTavish to start off with. He is a new recruit with the British SAS. You got to do a training session for the first part of the story mode. After completing that, you go and try to eliminate a nuclear threat from Al-Asad and his group of terrorists after they claim the west has destroyed their culture, ...
...modern war. Very unusual for Call of Duty to depart from World War II, but this is a good thing because I found the previous games of Call of Duty started to get boring and thanks to Infinity Ward taking the reigns of Call of Duty 4, they should damn keep the rights instead of splitting the rights with Treyarch. Want to know why I say this? Because Treyarch are doing Call of Duty 5 and it's going back to World War II. Back to single player, the ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

This was one of my first Xbox 360 games and I think I have played it more than all my other games collectively. It was also the first COD game that I have bought and the story made perfect sense nonetheless, so this would be the perfect game to get you started. The storyline is interesting, relatively easy to follow and does not require an much political knowledge. It revolves around a possible-WWIII style situation in which has you dropped into ...
...the story gradually unfolds. The gameplay is coated with a sort of slick realism which makes you feel as though you've been dropped into the middle of Black Hawk Down. The AI is the best I have encountered in a first person shooter and you get the genuine feel that the area is alive and in the moment. Sound-wise it performed perfectly - there is something very enjoyable about the sound of your gun letting loose especially the AK47, or maybe that ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the 4th in the series of Call of Duty games; however it is the first to have a storyline in a period that is not World War 2. For many this gave the impression at first that the developers had run out of ideas for World War 2 games, and perhaps that this game would be a letdown following the previous games' success. However this definitely wasn't the case, as this game is one of the biggest success stories in the ...
...today the lifespan of the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer mode is extremely long. There are over a dozen game modes for players to play ranging from conventional Team Deathmatch to Search and Destroy to Capture the Flag. There are also various challenges for players to aim for too, which include getting 100-150 kills with different people and getting killing streaks of various lengths. It comes as no surprise that the online community of Call of Duty ...

...as if you have to call the shots and make an effort to be efficient as possible. My favourite mission is one playing as a two-man sniper force for the S.A.S. where you can get an achievement for completing the level without alerting the enemy. You really feel as if failure to be stealthy will cost you your life. =Graphics= The graphics on COD4 far excel those of other shooters for the Xbox 360 such as Halo 3. The maps are very detailed and the ...
...frontline. =Conclusion= Overall, Call Of Duty 4 is definately one of the greatest games to come out on the 360 to date. It's a must-buy for any action-game lovers and will not be beaten by any other games any time soon. Some claim that Battlefield: Bad Company is a better game, but I strongly disagree as COD4 campaign is far more realistic and serious, therefore you become more emerged in the action. The online play os COD4 is good too with many ...

...modifiers that allow you to call in additional help depending upon how you do. this is cool as you can call in UAV for radar (3 kills in a row without dying), air support by plane (5 kills in a row), helicopter support (7 kills in a row). In a fairly even match this is really good fun. However if the teams are uneven in capability, then they can really crush you which can lead to a very unsatisfactory game. Don't forget you can call in all 3 supports ...
...don't need to save them. They also can be used in your next respawn after you die so use the air support in conjuction with a friends UAV radar support for accurate and maximum kills. Team selection once you've joined a match is mostly random but it does try to even the teams out by spreading members at a high level over each team. If you are a member of a clan, you should party up before hand so that you are all in the same team. You can add any ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

Up until now the Call of Duty series has bin a world war theme first person shooter but now there is Call of Duty that has a title Modern Warfare. Now it takes place in modern societies, not it involves running around the middle east, Russia dealing with all these nuclear disaster fees really high stake stuff, really powerful but short single player campaign backed up with some intense multi player action. When i say single player action is short, ...
...Like some of the other Call of Duty games the game play in Call of Duty 4 is all about aiming, you have a button designated to holding the gun up to your face and looking threw the scope or looking down the sights, that's how you get the most accurate shots you can also crouch which is handy for staying out of sight, you can shoot from the hip but its really more less accurate. So really the games more of less about you pulling up a gun and popping ...

...the 4th installment of the Call of Duty series, developed by Infinity war. It shifts the series away from the second world war, and puts us smack bang in the present day. You start the game as "Soap" MacTavish who is part of the 22nd S.A.S regiment, you complete your basic training before being whisked off on your first mission. Somewhere in the Bering Sea, your character along with his fellow S.A.S squad, board a cargo ship that is suspected to ...
...streaks, at 3 you can call in UAV Recon, which shows you where the enemy are located. A 5 killstreak lets you call in an Airstrike, and 7 lets you call in the Enemy gunship helicopter which will hunt out the enemy. You achieve XP (experience) for completing matches and for getting a good score ; get lots of kills etc. This lets you rank/level up in the multiplayer rankings and unlocks you new weapons etc. Overall the game has got longevity, what ...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

...of the biggest positives for Call of Duty 4 is that it now plays out much like a movie. You take control of both the British SAS and the US Marine Corps (alternately) and participate in approximately 17 different missions. Rather than feeling like a First Person Shooter, and just having to kill everything, it's apparant that Infinity Ward have gone to great lengths to make this an epic title that requires more emotional participation than merely ...
...carnage. Rating: Usually the Call of Duty games have been given a "teen" rating. This title has been rated "M" for mature. There are a few "curse words" in this game, and a few particular moments which may be a little extreme for younger players. Adult supervision and discretion is advised. Sound: It's hard to rate the sound on a title like this, when I'm merely playing directly from my TV speakers. That alone, it's easy to hear that in a fully ...
