Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Playstation 3, 2007)

I read the reviews elsewhere on this and I was not sure if I was going to get it.
I think they were wrong.
I own Call of Duty 3 for the XBox 360.
Reviews said Call of Duty 4 was "More of the Same".
I don't know if it is the PS3 or the Duty 4, but this game is alot better than Duty 3 on my 360. The Smoke effects are better. The Water is amazing... Damn shot again starring at the water...
I noticed something in Resistance Fall of man that is also present in this game, Everything is alive. The Grass whisps in the wind, this makes the environment come alive.
I think Resistance does the Ambiance better, but it is nicely done here too.
Swinging the Sixaxis as if to do a Rifle Butt causes your on screen character to do a Rifle Butt... Cool...
The Driving Sequences using the Sixaxis takes a little getting used to, however you can still drive via the Analog stick as well.
Graphics are Very nice, I did not see the Frame Rate Problems spoke of by the Reviewer. The Sound is very good. I did not give the Sound a 10 though because after playing Resistance where there is more clips of audio from the AI characters, I found hearing the same thing over and over again to be very "Last Gen" of Course my "Next Gen" 360 has the same problem. I think it stems from people starting to use the Extra capacity available on the BluRay disc.

Free Online Thanks to Sony. Goodbye XBox Live. Until Microsoft gives Live for Free, I will not renew. The Microsoft Fanboys keep trying to convince me that the Xbox Live is somehow better, well... after using them both I can not see the "greatness" that constitutes $50 a year.

If you liked Call of Duty 3, You will love Call of Duty 4.
Man I could sit here all day Whiping my Sixaxis all day. Rifle Butt. Rifle Butt. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I hope they keep adding these little touches to the Future PS3 games.

After all these successful Call of duties, its clear that Call of duty is the best war experience available. After fighting in many different wars in the past, things take a turn, and now you are fighting in the future (current day).

With all these new weapons, options, strengthened multiplayer, voted best of E3 2007, and much more, does this title live up to what it's previous titles did? Yes, and much more!

Presentation- Lots of options, great story line, many different modes, and an awesome box art.

Graphics- Very good graphics, amazing textures, but the cut scenes could have been a little better, but still very good.

Sound- Sound hasn't been a let down in the call of duty series, and its not about to change, from the battle music, to the weaponry, everything is nearly perfect

Gameplay- Probably the best, most realistic gameplay I've ever seen, tactical fans, open your eyes.

Lasting Appeal- If online wasn't here, it just wouldn't be as good, but its here and better than ever. Story mode is descent in length and can defiantly be replayed .

Overall- To put it in short, it is the most realistic, best looking FPS I have ever played, period. PS3 owners really should look into buying this game because it is well worth the money.

Gameplay
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will introduce a variety of game play styles into the single player campaign completely new to the Call of Duty series. The game moves away from the standard three country-specific campaign style, and allows the plot to play through more like a film style plot with interlaced story lines from the perspective of the player as a member of the US 1st Force Recon and a member of the British 22nd SAS Regiment. There is also a variety of cameo-style missions where you play as various other soldiers such as an AC-130 Gunship gunner, or as one part of a two man sniper team behind enemy lines in a flashback style mission.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will focus on the variation of modern warfare as an infantry soldier by allowing the player to control soldiers in a vast amount of different scenarios, straying away from the constant "at eleven" action of previous Call of Duty titles and allowing for both heavy intensity fire fights and slower paced drama styled intensity. The developer, Infinity Ward, has so far told about a handful of such levels including where the player will be the gunner of an AC-130 gunship and the pilot of a AH-1 SuperCobra helicopter providing air support.

The series' move to modern warfare has also introduced a variety of new modern weapons and technology to be introduced to the Call of Duty franchise. Such showcased weapons and attachments include M203 grenade launchers, IR laser pointers for use in conjunction with night vision goggles, silenced MP5SD submachine guns, and the FGM-148 Javelin portable anti-tank guided missile among many others.


[edit] Plot
A Russian nationalist by the name of Zakhaev is set on returning his homeland to the Soviet times. Zakhaev knows the United States would never allow this to happen, thus he funds a coup in the Middle East, organized by his ally Al-Asad, to draw attention away from Russia. The two men and their seconds-in-command gain the nickname The Four Horsemen. However, the British and US governments have been monitoring Zakhaev's activities and discover his real intentions. The story is told from a perspective of a British 22nd SAS Regiment operative in Russia and American 1st Force Recon in the Middle East.

The game also features a flashback mission set 15 years ago in the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation, which features a new incarnation of Captain Price from 22nd SAS Regiment, the only character to appear in both of the first two games of the series. He needs to assassinate Zakhaev, but his mission fails because his Captain gets wounded and he has to get out him of the Zone of Alienation.[3] Whether this new Price will be confirmed to be a relative of the WWII era Price remains to be seen. It is also believed that the assasination attempt had left Zakhaev with only one arm.

The game features following as playable characters:

Lieutenant Price, 22nd SAS Regiment (15 years ago)
Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish, 22nd SAS Regiment (present)
Sergeant Paul Jackson, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment (later Staff Sergeant as part of 1st Force Recon Co., U.S.M.C.) (present)
Their names are seen in mission info which is seen in published gameplay footage of the game. Further characters are unknown.

[edit] Multiplayer

[edit] Hardcore Mode
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been announced to have a new mode called Hardcore Mode. In multiplayer, users can choose to play standard game types

As another reviewer mentioned the details of the grass, smoke, water and pebbles in the rocks are really cool, as well as all the graphics in the game.

You can get through the easiest difficulty setting in about 6-8 hours. This is where you want to gather all the intel you can as finding all the hidden intel will give you unlimited ammo..:-)! As you increase the difficulty level, the fighting does intensify and gets a little more technical.

The one downside for me was that if you stay in one place & pick your enemies off they tend to be replaced very quick. Sometimes you have to move in closer to ultimately take them out for good. It is fun, although not so "real" with them replenishing so quickly & never ending until you advance.

Other features like shooting below from your chopper ride, cool night vision and the high altitude bombing raids give a sense of realism, and as the title says, "Modern Warfare".

A great improvement over C.O.D.3 and a must have for the gamer into FPS games.

Please vote YES below if you found this review helpful. THANKS!

You will be challenged, plus great action. If you like the "Call of Dutys" then you will love this one too. I rank this right up there with "Medal of Honor" and "Vegas" Games.

Nothing more then say then "GO GET THEM BASTARDS" and good luck. YOU WILL LOVEIT. ACTION PACKED. HARD TO PUT DOWN.

Call of duty 4 is a very well put together game. It has excellent online and offline play. You get to choose from a large variety of weapons in online mode as well as different attachments for the guns. The maps are incredible, very open and all of them more unique then the next. COD4 is a must buy game for those who want a excellent PS3 First Person Shooter. Highly Recommend 5/5

I loved this game. It was like the war which we watch on tv, live cnn views from via satalite, then you bomb the hell out of those...... enemies. Modern warfare, nukes, sniper shooting, helicopter shooting, everything you could imagine in war. Awesome game, best modern war game I've ever seen.

Call of Duty 4 for the PS3 is quite simply the greatest game I have ever played. Im sure it is possibly the greatest game ever created. Online play is amazing. So amazing that I never even tried Single Player. It is online or nothing. I have spent several several days playing this game, probably way too many but it doesnt bother me a bit.

In closing, Call of Duty 4 = A Little Piece of Heaven (A7X)

This is a great game for anyone who loves war type games! The graphics are excellent. You will find yourself playing this game for hours!

I must say I had heard the all the hype about this game and must say this is an awesome game. From the very get go the action is intense and nonstop. The missions are fast pace and can get crazy at times. I found that the controls were easy to use and did not require to much practice.

This came fast, and is good shape.!I wanted this game because i used to own it then i traded it in and now i wanted to play it again. Great GamE!!!!!!!!!

This game is the reason I bought a gaming system. Great single player, and the best online multiplayer game there is.

WOW!!!!! Best shooter i have ever played! Purchasedfor the PS3 system, graphics, Artificial Intel., Story, And just everything was breathtakingly amazing. ONLY shortcoming is that it is quite a short game ibeat it in like 6 hours on normal difficulty. Good news is that its replay value is pheonominal! i
ve played it all the way through 3 times already in the last week and it just doesn't get old! A MUST OWN for ANY self respecting Shooter fan!!!

I LIKE THIS KIND OF WAR SHOOTER GAMES WITH VERY GOOD GRAPHICS THE PRICE IS RESONABLE COMPARED TO THE 60 DOLLARS YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SAME GAME IN WALMART OR ANY OTHER STORE AND THE BUYER MUST HAVE GOOD FEEDBACK RATING FOR ME TO PURCHASE THIS TYPE OF ITEM FROM THEM THANKS

One of the best games I have ever played. It can be addicting though, so BEWARE. The graphic's are great. I'm still trying to power up my weapons.

I wanted to buy this because it's like the best game in like the world.
This is a great game to have and to uhhhh have..

This is the game of the year! A well deserve title frankly, excellent game play, realistic scenarios, and multiple levels of gaming. This game is a keeper because it will definitely keep you entertained for many many moons! If you get really good, then just change the settings to head shots only and the configurations are endless, plus the online gaming aspect is seamless. Great game as I said before.

best multiplayer game i've ever played!! great graphics, good guns and the game never gets boring. even my friends like it!!!

here's how it goes. you first get a ps3 if you didn't already have one. then rent it, try it, love it, buy it. (sell your 360 if need be, beats halo any day of the week. this is coming from a guy who bought a 360 just because he loved halo so much)

This is the best playstation 3 game out right now and I will tell you why. more than 26 awards including best graphics, best shooting game, best story mode(even though is short), best multiplayer etc...I used to be really good at video games many years ago but with time I had to put them away because they became complicated to just move around that's why I like this game you clearly know what you have to do, is easy, the controller buttons are a breeze to learn, and of course the extremely high replay value that it has makes it a worthy game to possess.

This is the best first person war game around hands down!! The game will be beaten fairly quickly on easy so I would suggest playing it on hard. You must buy this game if you like war games. Grafics are great, you really feel like you are there!

Call of Duty 4 is on the same level as Halo 3, Resistance, Counter-strike, or any other FPS Shooters out in the gaming world!.

By raising the single-player bar and also including a full-featured multiplayer game with its addictive leveling system, Call of Duty 4 isn't just another FPS Game or War game, it's a must have for the holidays or any time of the year!

Pros:

* Exciting
* astonishing single-player campaign
* Full-featured and addictive multiplayer
* Great gunplay
* Super Graphics
* Great Storyline
* Perfect for single or multiplayer

Cons:

* None!

This is a great game that had me glued for hours at a time. It is a great game that everyone should try. But it only took me 2 days and abut 20 Min. on the third day to beat it. So it is way too short. Besides that it is a great game there really was no probles with it. I would not buy it though, just make it the weekly rental since it would not take any longer then that to beat it.
