Call of Duty 4 beats all previous Call of Duty games and World at War because its based on modern warfare, not World War II, which no one cares about anymore. It's a great and well-designed FPS game and really brings the series to an entirely new level.
Campaign - The campaign is short and relatively easy, with few teammates with you, tonnes of enemies ahead of you, and quite a varied and breathtaking set of missions, from stealthy two-man infiltrations to noisy and explosive massive-scale assaults. But then there comes Veteran difficulty, which is a killer. Due to the realistic nature of the game, enemies still go down easily, but you can die within half a second of a full-on encounter with one. And that gets harder when you realise there's a whole squadron of them after you. And the last mission, not providing any spoilers, is near-impossible in Veteran difficulty, with only a single minute to complete it! A good and structured campaign with a few flaws gets a 7/10.
Multiplayer - This game's online multiplayer gaming is better than Gears of War 2, but is still inferior to Halo 3. What's extremely annoying is the fact that more accomplished players are able to hold better weapons, meaning what whilst more experienced soldiers show off their advanced gadgets, the low newbies who don't know how to play the game are left to deal with weaker guns. But what's good is that you gain experience for every kill or assist you do. For example, in Halo 3, you can be the best in the whole game, but if your teammates are rubbish, you may lose and not even get a single experience point even though you were the best. Call of Duty 4 covers that issue, and not only that, it gives EXP for assists too. Many players weaken foes but not get the finishing blow and receive nothing for their effort, but in Modern Warfare you even get a bit of experience for helping teammates. With a mixture of the air strikes, choppers, UAVs, and the fact that it'll take years for an average player to become the top rank ever (after passing the 55th ten times), Multiplayer deserves a 9/10.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fantastic game and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of First-Person Shooter and loves short but epic games.
Total Mark: 8/10
