 The same old game repackaged November 9, 2007

I have to call it as I see it. I really think the team behind the COD franchise needs to be wiped clean and new people need to be brought in.
COD 4 has been modernized. No more WW2. GREAT! I love WW2 games but it was time for a change in COD. That is it. Nothing else is new.
You still cannot shut the music off during game play! ULTRA ANNOYING to many people out there. What is the harm of giving people a choice? NOPE, the ego centric nature of Activision won't allow that. I had to hack the files of COD, COD2 and now I will have to hack the files again to shut the music off.
I have nothing against the music, I just don't like it on. I like the combat sound effects.
Again, the COD game play is nothing but run and gun and it is AGAIN SCRIPTED!!!! Achieve a goal or move your character to a certain spot and events occur. This makes a game so darn predictable that replay value goes down the tubes!
I am not impressed with the graphics either. They seem outdated, stale. There are too many other games out there with nicer details and realistic features. COD 4 is not one of them.
This game is not worth the high price tag they have slapped it with. NO WAY! I recommend you borrow a friend's copy, install it, play it and if you still want to buy it, go for it. It is too soon to tell if the multiplayer will be worthwhile. There were a lot of claims that the COD 2 MP was outstanding and a tremendous success, yet the servers were empty. Hop on a 3 year old UT 2004 server and it is still jamming with action!
No, the COD franchise is at the end. They really need to rebuild from the ground up. There is a ton of potential but it is not here in this release.
 seems to be quite the BIG hit! November 9, 2007

Awesome set up, cool story, great presentation, and most importantly greeeeeeeat game!! The voice acting is awesome too. The little things really make this game, such as how fast you can switch between weapons and the sounds and feel of it...guns don't just magically appear in front of you, you can actually hear the noises that go along with taking out your pistol or your main weapon...etc. Fast paced, action packed, easily the most impressive COD to date. HIGHLY recommended.
CON: My video card is a Nvidia GeForce 6800...so it's not the most current one. It was a little sluggish with the cinematics...but ran the actual game fine...just an FYI for anyone who has a slightly dated video card. NOTHING to do with the quality of the game.

After playing COD 4, I still think the Original Battlefield 2 is still by far the best FPS game out there. Why? Because of the many vehicles you can control. That ultimately made it better instead of just land combat. However, I would strongly recommend this game to everyone. It's definately a "must play." Go get yours today! For those Battlefield 2 fans out there, come back for more action. The other expansions are crap. Stick w/ the original.
Call of Duty 4 Is Destined To Be A Classic! November 8, 2007

Call of Duty 4 is by far one of the best games to come out this year for any console or PC platform. The game is even better than any action movie that has come out to local movie theaters this year. The game is just slightly better than Halo 3 which up to this time was one of my favorite games to come out this year. Now my review is based on the single player portion of the game only.
There is no comparison between Call of Duty 4 and Medal of Honor: Airborne as far as which is a better game to play. Medal of Honor: Airborne has just six missions to play through and that's it. I am not making that up. Medal of Honor: Airborne takes place during World War II with American Airborne soldiers fighting the Axis throughout Europe during the war. The first four missions in Medal of Honor: Airborne are very realistic. The last two missions are like made up fantasy missions where you are fighting Super Nazi Soldiers that take forever to kill. Call of Duty 4 is a ten times better game to play than Medal of Honor: Airborne.
I could tell from the very first minute that I started to play Call of Duty 4 just how great a game it was going to be. The graphics in the game are just simply amazing. They are by far the best graphics I have ever seen in any game except for Crysis. Crysis is the game to beat as far as graphics go.
The very first mission in the game takes place on a Russian freighter out in the middle of the ocean where you play the role of a British soldier fighting Russian terrorists aboard ship at night in stormy weather. Just to look at the water come up against the ship is amazing. I just had to stop to look at the huge ocean waves hitting the sides of the ship. I couldn't believe how real the ocean waves look hitting the sides of the ship.
In another mission, I play the role of an American Marine fighting terrorists in the middle of a Middle Eastern city. My character, along with some fellow American Marine soldiers, are supporting an American tank going through the middle of this city. Well an enemy tank approachs us and the American tank you are supporting fires a round from the tank's main gun at the enemy tank. The enemy tank gets hit and explodes and the turret on the enemy tank flies off into the air. It was one best looking explosions I have ever seen in a game.
In another mission in Russia you are again playing the role of the British soldier. An enemy helicopter follows you around at night with a big searchlight trying to find you and some fellow British soldiers. Why you are trying to avoid being detected by the enemy helicopter, you get attacked by some enemy German Shepherd dogs that are the most realistic dogs I have ever seen in a game. The dogs look very real.
Call of Duty 4 reminds me a lot of what is going on today with the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan today. The game makes me proud of our American soldiers who are serving over in Iraq and Afghanistan today. You learn to appreciate more our men and women in uniform and all the sacifices they are making today for our freedoms. This game should definitely be added to your collection.
