Single Player:

Incredibly immersing single-play campaign. Short indeed, as many critics have already noted, but to be honest, when it's done as well as this, I don't think that matters. I've played many games which take a whole lot longer to get through, but don't come anywhere close to offering the hands-on, visceral atmosphere Call of Duty 4 does. From stealthy sniper missions to all-out crazy firefights, the single player missions are amazingly atmospheric and very intense. War really is a chaotic mess at times, and no game has ever come close to portraying that so well. Overall, a wonderful addition to the FPS genre, and Infinity Ward should be congratulated for taking the franchise out of the WWII realm and bringing it up to date, complete with excellent graphics, effects, lighting, sounds, and textures.

Multiplayer:

There's a simplicity to the multiplayer that's refreshing, but the "reward system" will just keep you wanting to come back for more. The more kills you make, the better your soldier and class will be for future battles... I'm amazed that more FPS multiplayer games haven't done this before. I suck pretty badly at most multiplayer games because usually everyone else's skills are way better than mine, but with CoD4, even if I'm not as skilled as some other players out there, I can continue to improve and get rewarded -- it's ideal for the casual player like me!

Great job, and congratulations to all the folks who worked on Call of Duty 4... I think you're going to make a lot of new fans, and for those returning again to the CoD franchise won't be disappointed either.

WWII had been done to death! Ever since the original CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN-3D every war theater, every front, every battle has been done again and again. True, a number of great games was produced. Yet, some game developers seem unable to stop whipping a dead horse..

ACTIVISION proved it had the guts to break with the mold it had made its CALL OF DUTY franchise a huge success. CoD4 is set in a (fictional) present in which American and British agents are called upon to stop a Russian plutocrat with Soviet-nostalgia and terrorist aspirations.

The weapons are new, the gameplay is inventive, the graphics are realistic, the settings are beautiful - a great game all together!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I've been a FPS player since, well forever, and have owned almost all FPS games. Of late only the multi-player games have interested me for very long.

COD4 is at least for now the BEST multi-player military FPS on the market. It is by far the most realistic. Crysis is going to have a lot to live up to to compete.

It even runs well on my 3 year old Alienware.

If you liked the Battle Feild 2 and 2142 games you will love it.

Im a fan of the Call of Duty saga since CoD2. I then played CoD:UO, and I can say that Call of Duty 4 is one of the most fun, most entertaining games I've ever played. It has a little bit of everything, and you can sort of choose how much you want.

The MP part of it has so many guns and special abilities combos that you can try lots of setups, and the game modes are superb. I can honestly say i'm very satisfied with this game. The SP part is a little bit slow for me, but it's also very entertaining, you feel like you are part of a movie.

I have the entire Call of Duty series and this one is by far the best. The graphics are the best yet with few glitches. Hats off to Activision for portraying the real world of today and probably tomorrow without fear of "political correctness" or stereotyping. The real enemy and the way he fights is accurately portrayed.

The move from WWII (The Big One) to current events was a stroke of genius for the Call Of Duty franchise. The realism is quite spectacular, specifically the sounds. Where snipers in WWII fired fairly noisy, but accurate, weapons, the ones in Modern Warfare are very silenced and still quite deadly. The video motion is also smooth, and you can see expressions on the enemy faces. Very impressive!

this is one of the very few games that are almost perfect. It is a shooter, not a simulation, it gives plenty of action, loads up almost instantly, huge number of servers and the server browser is excellent as well, every map loads up very quickly.

Basically, you get in action right a way and the games gives you huge number of hours of fun.

The single player is fun too. Great graphics and works very well on just an average PC. Does not crash, you can play multiplayer with no DVD.

I wish all games were as well made as this one.

Very good game, most likely the best out on the market right now. The game consumes you the more you play. Graphics are outstanding, multiplayer is easy to use. Well worth the price unlike most video games. a perfect ten out of ten.

Amazing single player. Amazing multiplayer. The weapons are well-balanced and gameplay is loads of fun. The maps are all winners (except the small boxy one). I just wish there were more maps for the PC.

.........the title above says it all!

I have owned and loved the previous COD series, and this one is a MUST buy for the FPS fan!

Fast and Beautiful on almost any Machine!
