Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (A.K.A COD4) was developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activison Games. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the first COD game to feature present day weapons and not be in the 60's and before. For those who haven't heard of the world renowned Call of Duty franchise, COD is a FPS (First Person Shooter) and is a fast paced action game. GRAPHICS (9): Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was one of the first Call of Duty games on PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360, the first ones being Call of Duty 3 and Call of Duty: Classic. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare looks good still, even today, but doesn't have such high end looks compared to today's games. One thing I noticed is that in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare you don't see as much of your gun you are holding as you see in other games. The reason for the newer games having the guns more visible was because the developers wanted to show they are willing to put detail and use their talents to make the game look as detailed as possible. Similar to Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops the game's lighting is a bit darker, which I like. I know people say if a game looks gloomy they get sad, but I personally like it as I have sensitive eyes and if something has really vibrant colors my eyes hurt and I get headaches (A reason I cannot watch many present day movies like Avatar, the James Cameron one.), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was perfect for my eyes and looked nice to me. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the game is colorful, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's art, but it wasn't my cup of tea. SOUND (10): This part of the review is based on my SPECIFIC opinions and preferences. I personally have sensitive ears, as I do with my eyes, so I cannot watch movies in a movie theater because it's so loud it hurts my ears. Well Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has just perfect sound. The guns don't sound as loud and the volume of the characters speaking is just perfect for my ears. And the music is good for my ears, however, at the ending credits there is a horrible "COD" rap. This is the term, "You can't spell crap without rap" comes to play. ADDICTIVENESS (10): Personally, I am not a fan of Call of Duty campaigns (The single player mode). They are just too unrealistic for me (Which is ironic as this is COD, nothing is realistic.), I mean, in one level it is you and a small amount of British S.A.S (Secret Air Service) taking down a Russian nuclear missile silo. Aside from that, the multiplayer is very addictive and fun. In multiplayer you have certain gamemodes you may play that have certain objectives, for example, in TDM (Team Death Match) the first team to get 7500 points from kills wins. In Domination, there are three flags, the idea is to hold at least 2 flags and get to 200 points first. The multiplayer, however, is nowadays hacked and has lost it's quality, but before it got hacked it was amazing. STORY (6): Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's story is OK, but wasn't really satisfying to me. The events in the next two games, Modern Warfare two and three really only refer to COD4's story. However it is interesting to see maps from the story sorta be referred to in multiplayer. For example, in campaign early on you are trying to stop a Arabic group that formed a coup and has overthrown the leader. You have to find him. As you can expect the level is a sandy Arabic town. In multiplayer, there are many sand Arabic town's that are similar. Which I like to see. DEPTH (3): Aside from campaign collectibles and prestiging (When you reach the level cap in multiplayer you may prestige, that means you restart at level 1 again and have to earn everything again, but you get cooler emblems.). In multiplayer you may prestige, and you may also try to get gold for every gun (Gold cameo.), but that's all-- which is really disappointing. DIFFICULTY (1): Unless you are some hardcore player, you are probably not going to play the campaign on Veteran (COD's version of Legendary difficulty), and Hardened difficulty is OK, and the other two difficulties make you practically invincible. I personally enjoy a challenge, so in multiplayer I commonly chose the hardcore game types. Which still has the same gamemodes, only you start with no minimap and you die with less shots, which adds realism and difficulty. ~Kyle
