Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is yet another in the growing cast of shooters to use a class-based system.However,COD4 does things a touch differently.Using a persistent experience-based system,players aren't locked into any specific "role" that limits in any way their ability to hunt and kill their opponents.There is no engineer or medic or heavy gunner.The classes are much more dynamic than you may expect.Classes determine your starting weapon, sidearm, and special grenade.It also indicates your three special skills, called perks.But none of these force you into a particular role or stifle in any way your ability to enjoy the sixteen maps in Modern Warfare.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter video game,developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for PC.A separate handheld game was made from scratch for the Nintendo DS.It is the fourth installment in the Call of Duty video game series,and is the first in the Modern Warfare line of the franchise, followed by a direct sequel, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as well as the first game in the series to have a Mature rating.The game breaks away from the World War II setting of previous games in the series and is instead set in modern times.Call of Duty 4 was in development for two years, and it uses a proprietary game engine.
The player takes on the role of various characters during a single-player campaign. The characters' involvement in the plot occurs simultaneously and overlaps the events in the game. As such, the player's perspective changes from one character to another between missions.after you beat the campaign you can unlock cheats such as unlimited ammo by collecting "enemy Intel."
Each mission features a series of objectives;the player is led to each objective with the heads up display,which marks its direction and distance.Some objectives require that the player arrives at a checkpoint,while other objectives require the player to eliminate enemies in a specified location,stand their ground to defend an objective,or plant explosive charges on an enemy installation.After the credits,a special epilogue mission is unlocked for play,featuring a four-man squad retrieving a VIP from terrorists who have hijacked an airliner.The SAS rescue the VIP and escape before the plane is destroyed.
Where a radical leader has executed the president of an unnamed country in the Middle East, and an "Ultra-nationalist" movement starts a civil war in Russia.The conflicts are seen from the perspectives of a U.S. Reconnaissance Marine and a British SAS commando, and are set in multiple locations, including the Middle East, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Pripyat,Ukraine.The multiplayer portion of the game features various game modes, and contains a leveling system that allows the player to unlock additional weapons, weapon attachments, and camouflage schemes as they advance.
Call of Duty 4 does not have a single squad command.You won't tell your buddies to frag and clear a room or move from cover to cover towards the enemy's position.You don't have to tell the AI what to do in Modern Warfare,because your allys' AI is outstanding.These folks look,move,act,and react like their true military counterparts.In fact,were you to have the ability to issue commands,you'd likely end up doing more harm than good.The AI takes care of itself .
COD4's single-player is made great because it is such a white-knuckle experience.That would not be possible if the sound and visuals weren't impeccable.This is a gorgeous game from top to bottom.It runs almost perfectly,with only a few rare frame rate hiccups,and offers rich details,great texture work,excellent animations for your allies,awesome particle effects,and some stellar lighting.The sound is equally impressive.Combat is loud.The shouts of your allies,the curses of your enemies,the ominous clink of a grenade falling at your feet,all go to creating an immersive experience.You may well lose yourself in combat,drawn in by the visuals and the sound.This is a technically excellent effort that won't disappoint.
Rounding out COD4's very short list of complaints is the campaign length.On Regular difficulty, you can probably beat COD4 in 5-6 hours.As you move up towards Veteran,the completion time can get closer to 8-9 hours.Still,it's a very brief experience.At least it's a great one.Once you beat COD4,you unlock Arcade Mode.This allows you to replay the entire campaign or individual levels with arcade-style rules.You'll have a set number of lives and earn points for different types of kills.And,of course,there is always the multiplayer.
If you played the original Call of Duty or its sequel,then you will have little trouble hopping into COD4.This is not a revolution of game controls.Infinity Ward maintains its smart system of rewarding players for aiming down the sight before firing;you can run from cover to cover;you have a one-click melee attack; there are a few highlighted spots that require a button press to interact with;and yes you can once again pick up live grenades and throw them back at the enemy.
The enemy has access to perhaps the greatest weapon in modern war:dogs.Yes,there are dogs in COD4 and they can be real bitches.Dogs are a major pain in the ass.They don't have fear; they don't worry about flanking you or dying by your bullets.They want one thing: to rip out your throat.Often they will.Dogs move fast and attack sometimes before you turn to see what all that barking's about.If a dog attacks,you will hit the ground and enter one of the shortest mini-games of all time.You have perhaps two seconds from the moment you hit the ground to perform a melee attack and break the dog's neck.Otherwise, the dog will rip out your throat.That means you die.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fantastic game.The single-player experience is easily Infinity Ward's best work to date.Calling it intense may be an understatement.The overall story is standard action movie fare,but the relationships built over the short five hours of play are surprisingly strong.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.
