Call of Duty Modern Warfare is perhaps the best first person shooter ever made.  This game has everything, outstanding graphics, crisp sound, and some of the most intense combat you will every play.

But where Call of Duty Modern Warfare really stands out is the on-line multiplayer.  Go head to head or play on a team with players from around the world.  Progress your way through to the prestige mode where you will have to make a tough choice.  On-line multiplayer is a must, I thought that I was a fairly decent player, but watching some of the other players from around the world will blow your mind.

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (PS3) Review

They say war is hell. Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare takes you to the very depths of Hades. The long-awaited COD4, IW's follow-up to the excellent Call of Duty 2, is a jarring, intense, and gripping take on war in the new millennia. The enemies are smarter, the weapons are deadlier, and the grenades all too plentiful. COD4 will shake loose your fillings and have you begging for more.

Infinity Ward was born out of the success of retelling some of the greatest battles in World War II. The company has become synonymous with the virtual beach at Normandy. So it was quite a gamble to break from the comfort zone of Nazi-occupied Europe and leap into present day. The gamble paid off. Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and every other military-based shooter has been put on notice. There is a new standard to judge this sub-genre and it is Call of Duty 4.

COD4's single-player is made great because it is such a white-knuckle experience. That would not be possible if the sound and visuals weren't impeccable. This is a gorgeous game from top to bottom. It runs almost perfectly, with only a few rare frame rate hiccups, and offers rich details, great texture work, excellent animations for your allies, awesome particle effects, and some stellar lighting. The sound is equally impressive. Combat is loud. The shouts of your allies, the curses of your enemies, the ominous clink of a grenade falling at your feet, all go to creating an immersive experience. You may well lose yourself in combat, drawn in by the visuals and the sound. This is a technically excellent effort that won't disappoint.

Class-based multiplayer is nothing new, but it seems to quickly be turning into a staple of first-person shooters. Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat is yet another in the growing cast of shooters to use a class-based system. However, COD4 does things a touch differently. Using a persistent experience-based system, players aren't locked into any specific "role" that limits in any way their ability to hunt and kill their opponents. There is no engineer or medic or heavy gunner. The classes are much more dynamic than you may expect. Classes determine your starting weapon, sidearm, and special grenade. It also indicates your three special skills, called perks. But none of these force you into a particular role or stifle in any way your ability to enjoy the sixteen maps in Modern Warfare.

Performing well in the field earns you some in-game bonuses in the form of air support. Kill three enemies without dying and you earn the ability to launch a UAV tracker that briefly displays enemy locations on your radar. Kill five and you can call in an airstrike to a specific location on the map. Kill seven and you can bring in an attack chopper that circles the maps, cutting down any enemy it sees. Deaths from the latter two air support calls add to your total, so you can get some ridiculous streaks going. Once you earn the chopper, you get no further assists until you die and the kill counter resets.

Closing Comments
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fantastic game. The single-player experience is easily Infinity Ward's best work to date. Calling it intense may be an understatement. The overall story is standard action movie fare, but the relationships built over the short five hours of play are surprisingly strong. Though the single-player lacks length, the multiplayer should keep you invested in COD4 for the long winter. This is a truly fantastic multiplayer offering that's as deep as any other online game available.
