 OVER RATED October 17, 2008
MAYBE THIS GAME IS A LOT MORE FUN WHEN YOU PLAY IT ONLINE. IT WAS SHORT AND CHAOTIC. I COULDN'T TELL MY GUYS FROM THE ENEMY HALF THE TIME. THIS GAME WAS JUST ALL RIGHT BUT NOT NO GAME OF THE YEAR. I'M GLAD I JUST RENTED IT INSTEAD OF BUYING IT. THE GRAPHICS WERE GOOD AND A COUPLE OF EPISODES WERE FUN BUT OVERALL I THOUGHT IT WAS LACKING. OH WELL, EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO THINK IT'S THE GREATEST GAME ON EARTH BUT ME. I ENJOYED THE OTHER CALL OF DUTY'S MORE.
 Call of Duty 4 Deserves the Title GAME of the YEAR October 15, 2008
I was really unsure if I should get a game for $65 (at the time)when it came out about a year already, but when my friend got the game he couldn't stop talking about it. He brought it over and we played Multiplayer against each other and i was already loving the game. (This game is a first person shooter and if you perfer third person, this game would change your mind.) After the first few games, I knew I have to have it, before I even knew it we played over 4 hours.
The game graphics are top notch, the characters and the maps are really detailed. During Cut Scenes, it almost looks really. I don't think the graphics are better than Metal Gear Solid 4, but if Metal Gear Solid 4 Graphics are rated 5 out of 5 stars, I would rate COD4 Graphics 4.5 out of 5 Stars.
The game play and storymode truely took me by surprised. The Story revolves around a fictional war, the gameplay makes you play in all fields. Meaning in one mission, its all stealth. In this Mission you get full covered cameo and its a sniping mission. There is another where you get to have a mass destruction type mission. You get to use a weapon that has 3 settings from a huge bomb, mintures bombs, and a machine gun. This mission is for those who just want to destroy the enemy with explosion (I personally love this mission.) The stroy mode is fairly long for a first person shooting game and it's safe to say that the players will be satsify by the length because after the story mode you unlock arcade mode.
In Arcade Mode you play the same story mode again but you limited lives now and it keeps scores on how many you kill (like an arcade game).
After I was done playing Story Mode, I started the Online Playing. Let me tell you, it was GREAT. In Online, you get to customise your weapons to your preference and you get 3 special "perks" that give you special abilities. The perks and weapon customization gets unlocked from levels (ranks) you earned during online playing. You can play either single (8 Players)player or Team Matches (12 players). There are so much after the story mode, especially the fact in online playing you can complete certains requirements (barracks) to get extra points to boost your level up higher.
I bought the Game of the Year Edition and it came with i think 4 more Maps (stages) and its worth it. On the new stages my personal favorite is Kill House because this area is a smaller area and hardly any place for players to camp (hide and snipe).
The maps are fairly big but for 12 players to do battle is definetly enough space. I like games that makes you want to play the game once after you beat the story mode and this is the game.
Possibly one of the Best games I have ever played. October 10, 2008

Game Of The Year.. IT'S on the COVER for goodness sakes!!
Coming from a seasoned hardcore gamer, this game has left nothing behind. Both the single player and muliplayer aspects of this game are nothing short of astounding.
Just when I thought gameplay just couldn't get any better for a FPS, this game came out and just blew everything I knew about FPS out of the water.
Everything down to the intuitive button configurations and ability to modify button configurations is just fantastic.
The story line is phenominal and totally realistic. The physics are barnone the best I have ever seen/experienced. The weapons are as real as they come, and the multiplayer environment is fast paced and well thought out.
Introduction to class creation, weapon customization, ranking and xp points unlocking various weapons, and challenge bonuses just make the replayability of this game endless. Sure a few of these just mentioned have existed before in other games, however I don't think that they have all been combined and interweaved so beautifully. Also, when you get to rank 55, you get to make a tough choice.. I won't spoil it for you, you will find out when you get there.
The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen in a game, and is up there on par with Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, and Gran Turismo 5 Prologe.
Going back to the storyline, in the single player mode seeing the nuke's being launched and a nuke being detonated gave me goose bumps and brought a tear to my eye. Bringing back memories of what all our forebearers gave their lives so selflessly to protect us from such evil.. just phenominal.
AHH Yes you knew it was coming... the CONS or downsides of the game.
1. OPEN MICS!! Sounds like a GREAT idea right? Well not so much. You have people playing that have a fan blowing on them, or aspiring to be a future rap star, or music in the background, or kids crying in the background, or parents yelling at their kids.. well you get the idea.(Just.. should have integrated a button to activate mic channel) To be fair, you can selectively mute people, but you shouldn't have to do so to begin with.
2. The lack of a server based online environment like Socom 3 has. Which makes it more difficult to locate friends if they are already in a game.
Yes you can invite a freind into the game, or have a "party" before launching the auto find game feature. But a friend saying "Yea, I'm in US Central 5 Server, Game Name is Yo Momma" system I think is better suited for online gaming. Perhaps having both features would be more helpful than just one or the other.
3. The complete meaninglessness of clan tags, anyone can dupe your clan tag without being invited to the clan. In Socom, you sent out invites to clans, in this game you just type it in without any control of the clan.
4. Seperate map pack.. now comon, I just spent 60 bucks on this game and you want to double dip another $10 out of me for 3 more maps? Get real guys, just include the maps to begin with please. To this day I have not purchased the map pack and don't really wish for more levels to begin with.
5. The knack of you being able to spot someone 200 yards away with the naked eye and pick them off seems a little unrealistic. But I think this gets caulked up to HD graphics/HD Tv's to be honest with you. We for so many years have been squinting at that dern TV saying.. honey come here, is that a guy in the bushes? So that when we can finally SEE what we are doing it just becomes unnatural feeling somehow.
Overall the cons do not outweigh the benefits by a long shot, and do yourself a favor and get this GAME!! You will have a hard time putting down the controller, I guarantee it!!
Quite simply, the best.... October 9, 2008
COD4 is hands down the best FPS of all time. The exhilarating graphics, the intuitive controls, the immersive atmosphere (case in point: the opening scene) all interconnect to give you the best first-person shooter ever.
And that's just for the single player campaign...
The multiplayer option is like a culture unto itself. Easily the best online experience that I've had thus far.
Perhap my only gripe would be the lack of a co-op feature or two-player campaign mode.
Intense!!! October 9, 2008
I am a very picky gamer. I lose interest quickly. In this case the game played very well, had a good story line and it took me a while to beat it. The replayability factor is also high as you can start the campaign over again on a more difficult level. Additional weapons can be located and used. Enjoy!
