 Great Game September 6, 2009

I have been a keen first person shooter fan for a while. I have purchased numerous games, both cheap and expensive. I have found that price is not much of a guide to enjoyment or satisfaction. I took a chance on this even though it was expensive. I do not regret it. The missions are great. Really involving and quite gripping at times. Once you work through these you can use Arcade mode to choose any mission and this is good fun too. The only point to note is that you need a fairly fast machine to get the best out of the graphics. Mine was a high end machine in 2005 and still copes but not at the highest quality. I downloaded the latest Nvidia driver for my graphics card and this made the game more able to run at higher definitions, a useful thing to do if you have never checked that you have the latest driver. I would recommend this one to anyone who likes a good shoot em up, although that comment does not do justice to the detail and realism which is exceptionally high.

I was slightly wary when buying this game as I had the Call of Duty 2 and it was great - but I didn't think this would be up to much. But how wrong I was. The single player mode is challenging and gets very addictive as you shoot from helicopters, go on sniper missions and hide in the grass, and, of course, just good old battling it out against your enemies. The multi player mode is also fantastic with a thriving online community and lots of different playing modes to keep you playing for hours - and in fact, this is actually where I play the majority of Call of Duty 4. All in all great game, deserves Game of the Year award, and gets a 9/10 from me.

Great game.
Looks lovely, nice lighting, shadows, textures etc. I don't have a state-of-the art system (7800 GT card) but it still runs smooth without horrid clipping issues and freezes.
It's easy on easy mode and Hard on Hard mode (amazing how many games get this wrong!)
1 player has decent replayability to collect cheats etc if you're into that sort of thing.
No horrible intrusive DRM or 'internet only' copy-protection, just good old-fasioned type-in-a-code and it works installation.
Multiplayer is really fantastic, if a bit of a steep learning curve. maps are interesting and not too symmetrical- (a big bug-bear of mine!)
Weapons are customizable which makes for hours of fun unlocking components and trying to master them all.
Only annoying thing really about the Multiplayer is the 'Air support' feature- you can call in airstrike or chopper on 5 + 7 kills (so airstike usually usually turns in to heli) then, as high kill-streaks are pretty common, you can be stuck unable to use your heli all round as 15 other players also have it and you can only use it 1 at a time. This can also Heavily distort the scores and mean they aren't always reflective of players skill.
That's really a small gripe though. Rest of the game if ace. Go Buy it.

If only more PC games could follow the formula of MW 1; no securom/DRM/aids/steam + multiplayer that works = win. This game works on so many levels, the game engine is incredibly well built allowing for fast paced and realistic shooting (you can only take one or 2 bullets at most (except for headshots and perks)) and incredibly realistic environments. The story is also surprisingly interesting and captivating for an fps (though I'll be honest, I never actually completed it as the multiplayer was so addictive). The multiplayer is incredibly addicive, it has a levelling system where the more matches you win and players you kill, the higher your rank gets which allows you to unlock new weapons and customizations or perks. Perks are a unique twist to the game as they allow you to change and improve your online play style, for example you can speed up your reload time or drop a grenade if you get fragged to take down more people with you. There are loads of maps, matches and weapons that just add to the greatness of this game. The game runes flawlessly on my rig (Intel Quad Core 2.4 ghz, nvidia gefore 9500GT, 3 GB ram, XP pro sp3, but ive seen that it can run on machines with much lower specs).
In short, if you're one of the last of the dying breed of pc gamers, and enjoyed games like quake, wolf3d and half-life 1 and want a pick up and play game that doesnt have any drm or multiplayer problems then cod4 is is really a no-brainer.
