Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a superb specimen of computer gaming goodness. This game is un-freaking-believable! Whether it’s on the Xbox360 or PC this is one of those rare games which people will usually find nothing wrong and nothing to criticize about. Apart from the insane graphics, gameplay and class customization, it continually gives me a very pleasant feeling when the map loads so fast.

Finally, the Call of Duty line of games has broken the time lock of the 1940’s in which it’s developers had it eternally trapped. This brings the obvious upgrades in weaponry which have accompanied decades of Research and Development into human beings killing each other, in real life. But apart from the assortment of weapons available to you in campaign and multiplayer, there’s also sections of the game where you view the story from another soldier’s perspective, with very different weaponry. There’s a part where you shoot enemies with huge rounds from an airplane, and also a sniper backstory which ends in assassinating a political leader with a 50 caliber sniper rifle from a mile away.

The multiplay gameplay is very well impemented, with around 15 different game modes. There is also an addictive rank/level system with lots of challenges and goals to complete.

In short, if you like first person shooters, buy this game. You won’t be disappointed. It is well worth the $50. It is even worth the $110 it’s likely to cost in Australia. (This is why I only have 4 360 games)
