Everybody said COD4 is a nice game, so I decided try it. Yes, It is a nice FPS game for PC finally. Graphic is good, gameplay is fun, surprising story, upexpected ending. Overall it is a very nice game for PC again. The only thing I recommended is a different story ending. COD4 worth a play. Try it !

A little short, but riveting. I'm glad to see Sgt. Price, and there are some amazing scenes that play out.
This is by far the most realistic of the wartime shooters, in my opinion. My only real gripe is that the bad guys don't stop spawning until you hit some invisible line, so one has to move forward in order to keep more and more of the bad guys from coming.
COD 4... a very well done FPS...Definite contender for Game of the Year November 26, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
COD 4 is a FPS that alternately follows the US Marines and British special forces in the Middle East and in Russia; it then combines these two groups for the final few segments in Russia.
There is not much to dislike in this game. The game has great graphics and runs smooth on a high end system. The game play is intense and visceral; it's hard not to get a gut wrenching feeling in the pit of your stomach when fighting your way through some of these levels. And as a FPS fan, I guess this is all you could ask for in this genre of game.
In the single player version, this is a game of team co-operation (and even more so with every higher degree of difficulty); in fact you'll not get very far if you attempt to just go in with guns blazing. Some planning and patience are real assets for success in this game.
The game has a lot to offer, for instance...
1.)Some intense alley to alley, building to building, street fighting.
2.)A couple of stealth and execute missions.
3.) A couple of vehicle segments (in the air and on the ground), with use of your weapons.
4.)You get to operate any of 3 different gun turrets on a hunter warplane using nighttime infrared vision. (this segment was a great deal of fun)
5.)Many different weapons; several automatic rifles, a RPG launcher, anti-tank weapons, a sniper rifle, explosive charges and an assortment of grenades.
6.)An excellent compass/distance indicator to help guide you in the right direction (it is easy to become disorientated (direction wise) in the heat of battle).
7.)Enemy AI is fairly good; some stand up unprotected, but many do hide and use cover; level of game difficulty has an influence on this.
8.)Unexpected events at the end of some levels, have an impact on levels to come; a nice change from your usual mission endings.
A couple of minor concerns...
1.)There were no player controlled game saves; game saves were automatically generated at specific spots (and some were far enough apart, to make it a real challenge to get to the next one).
2.)If you wish to play the game again (i.e. on a different difficulty setting), then you have to go through the 'training' session again AND the entire opening movie/credits scene (which is tediously long) that begins a new game; I could find no way to skip these segments.
Conclusion:
COD 4 was a FPS that I really liked and I feel it easily qualifies for consideration for single player Game of the Year*. It has excellent graphics, audio and most importantly, game play. Also, the different types of missions really added a nice variety and balance to the game; you needed to use different combat techniques and skills to get through all levels and eventually finish this game. An all round excellent effort. 5+ Stars.
*Other nominees for single player, 'Game of the Year' would be 'Bioshock' and 'Half-Life 2 episode 2'. Close contenders would be 'Timeshift' and 'STALKER-Chernobyl', followed by a more distant 'Crysis'
An Amazing Game! November 25, 2007

One of the best games I've ever played! Graphics are simply amazing!! The single player is a little short but the game is non-stop action! Highly recommended!!
Great FPS, finally something other than BF2 to play November 25, 2007

I've been waiting for a game to take the place of the 2+ year old BF2, and finally it has arrived. COD4 is more intense, quicker loading, less waiting to revive, and more fun.
It's a lot faster to fire a gun in COD4, so it brings back a CS feel to the game that BF2 did have.
