This game was an all around best. I have friends that LOVE Halo and when they bought CoD:4 they were amazed by it. One problem is the headshots. You have to shoot them twice. Also the online cage-match is not good because people "boost" their rank. I hope they know this is against the Code of Conduct for Xbox Live.

The best FPS on any console so far, Single player may be short but it has arcade mode which will give at least 4-6 hours ontop,If you play online then the gaming goodness will never end i have played online for over 250 hours and am only now starting to play other games,So if that is not good value what is. thank you COD4!

Simply the best multiplayer out there! Single player is incredible, I enjoyed finishing it on veteran!

No questions asked, this was the best shooter of 07' (Since RB6: Vegas was released in 06'.). Anybody who gives this game below a 6 is a moron.. Or they're not so big into the FPS shooters. This game is far far far better than Halo in so many aspects. People are saying how it requires no skill to be good at this game, when it most certainly does. The online play for this game is some of the best I have seen in a long time. Runs perfect, and is better than the PS3 version (I have played both online and offline). Best game on the market until Rainbow Six Vegas 2.… Expand

the games amazing... yea the singleplayer is pretty short... but the online definately makes up for that... halo 3 is a bunch of crap compared to this COD4... a must have game... for people with good taste

This game is amazing. The campaign is relatively short, but if you have any sense at all, you'd know that this game is about multiplayer. The progression system keeps the game fun forever. I got this and Halo 3 at the same time, and I have to say that Halo is completely lacking in most areas compared to CoD4. The multiplayer is amazing and seldom gets old. Halo, on the other hand, gets old extremely quick, and it doesn't help that everyone that plays Halo is a complete A HOLE. Seriously. Everyone. CoD4 is also much more balanced. Overall way better.… Expand

The best Online game that I've played yet. The Campaign is amazing and the action never stops.

I never played a war game in my life until I play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and it changed my perspective on first-person shooter games completely. This is a must have game for any gamer who owns a PlayStation 3, xbox 360, or PC. Online for call of duty 4 is the greatest. The game play is also incredibly realistic.

I never played a war game in my life until I played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and let me tell you this game changed my perspective on First-Person Shooters completly. Its single player might be a little short but the online most certainly makes up for it. This game encouraged me to buy more First and Third-person shooters. Any gamer who owns a PS3, Xbox 360, or even a PC should definatley purchase this award winning game.… Expand

This game is amazing between the campaign and the online play one of the greatest games of all time.

(I would give this game a 9.5 but there is no 9.5 in the score rating database thing) This game is an amazing achievement in 360 history. Top-notch graphics, excellent campaign, awesome muliplayer! This game has it all.

This is without a doubt the best FPS ever made, and I highly doubt that there will be anything that comes remotely close to surpassing COD4 in the genre for years to come.

This is one of the best shotters i have played in a long time even if the physics are not the best it is kind of funny that if you are in oldschool mode if you shoot someone with a pistol that they take a backfilp and they twist their waist in a circle

This game gats a 10, Just for the online mode, with lots of modes available, Excellent maps. this game just keeps you coming back for more. Offline it is a solid shooter which will please all fps fans and would be an 8/10.but online this game rocks.

The online experience is ideal for a highly competitive superfreak like myself. Modern Combat is absolutely the best first person shooter ever made. Thank you Infinity Ward and please continue building more maps for us to enjoy!

COD4 is the best in the series so far. The solo story would be a 5* film if it got made into one. Not only does this improve on the previous titles, but the online mode is amazing and plays so great. Its hard to describe into detail with the amount of War Games on the market, but if I could recommended it in one setence it would be this. One of the best war games I've ever played, with one of the best Multiplayer online modes ever. SCORE : 94%… Expand

A great game. The single player is short and the play is generic. But the plot line and the story behind it is as good as if not better than any other FPS out there. That makes up for the lapses in play and in the shortness of the story. Why add fluf to appease gamers who would in turn complain of a generic story. The multiplayer is fantastic. Albeit a little glitchy and kinda hard at the start when you get good you will have fun. Most of the complaints about this game are minor bugs or just a bunch of whiners complaining about random crap they dont like. They need to get another game not turn off potential players.… Expand

The best 1st person shooter ever created. The single player campaign is too short but saved only by the great multiplayer. But as I said about Modern Warfare 2 it's alot of money still to fork out if you haven't got Xbox live.

this game is by far the best first person shooter out. i am sort of confused by how gears of war 2 has a better score as its a shocking game.
call of duty 4 on the other hand has 1 or 2 negative things about it, eerything else is brilliant

Wow... all the hate is amazing. The story mode was linear, but sometimes you need linearity to achieve a focused story. There are plenty of sandbox type games and 'freedom' games out there, yet most are only played through once anyways. The default mode is somewhat easy, but that's why there's a hard mode. The veteran challenge will definitely test your skills, as well as having you throw the controller at some parts. (It's almost as cheap as the endless flying bat respawns from the old NES Ninja Gaiden series.) Anyone who rates this below 5 is, in my mind, just trolling.… Expand

Definitely a must have. It might even be the single, greatest first person shooter to date. The campaign, while short, is nothing short of amazing. It never lets up on your journey from the beautiful deserts of the Middle East to the abandoned buildings of Pripyat, Ukraine and beyond. For people going at a leisure pace, it might clock in around 10 hours. The multiplayer is what sets it apart. As much as I do love Halo, CoD multiplayer is in my opinion better. I can only hope that Modern Warfare 2 can deliver, since there's massive hype on it.… Expand

The overall length of the single player was short but one of the more enjoyable campaigns I have ever played. Then theres the multiplayer, which takes all other shooter games, such as halo and battlefield 2. Combines them all plus more to make an amazing gaming experience.

Although short campaign, it is incredibly well done (especially the British SAS missions). Large variety of different match types for multilayer.

Without question, Call of Duty 4 is the best FPS out there! I like Halo 3, but the sheer grittiness and realism of the MP battles in CoD4 make Halo 3 MP feel like a walk through the park. In fact, after a particularly gut wrenching battle in CoD4, I hopped into a MP battle in Halo 3 and it felt downright relaxing! Call of Duty 4 is a white knuckle ride of a game and being a Black male that's saying a lot! LOL!… Expand

This game is pure excellence. It is far worth the 50-60$ spent to buy it. Phenominal graphics, AI, and story make this for a great game. And I'm tired of everyone complaining about a "short single player" because it lasts much longer than 5 hours IF you dont play it on the Easiest difficulties. Buy it.

Excellent game. Very fun. Visually awesome. Definately worth playing.

Single player is short, but to say it is a poor effort is asinine. The single player is as captivating as any i have played. And the fact that it only took about 9 hours to beat doesn't matter much to me, because i'm sure i will get 100 hours out of the multiplayer. Buy this game!

Although the single player does feel short, the leveling up through multi player, and the over all level playing feel more than makes up for it.

Amazing game, it makes halo look like a current gen game. and it took a way less time to make, it shows what game makers can do when they dont just rely on a name and online play, and the online play is realistic which i prefer reather than shooting, gun butting and then grenading to kill someone.

The single player action is short but very well done leaving wanting much more, But the real value is in the deep level up multiplayer that reawards you for playing well and often, but at the same time keeps the playing feild level that your rank doesnt matter its all about skill. Not to mention that leveling is just about how many kills or games you've won, but more about specific tasks and activities that you most accomplish. Multiplayer also has some many option of game play that all fps fans of any type will have something they love.… Expand

This is an awesome game, the graphics, the movement, and the reality. They did a good job on the movement of the characters and surroundings. But not a perfect 10 because of a mission or two that was insanely challenging to beat, but in the end, that's what made it fun. Best Call of Duty

After all the hype for Halo 3, BioShock, Assassin's Creed, and Mass Effect, COD 4 comes out of nowhere and will probably be a multiple Game of the Year award winner, and rightfully so. I've played all of the above games (except Mass Effect, which isn't out yet) and COD 4 easily beats all of them. And I haven't even touched the multiplayer yet. No, seriously. All I';ve been playing is the campaign. The single player is that freakin' good. Maybe for everyone else it's short, but I'm having a grand old time with it in 20-30 minute spurts, which is all I can handle anyways, as it's so intense. The sniper mission, the camo mission, the Death From Above mission.....each level is like a work of art. Not BioShock-type art, mind you, but art nonetheless. Probably the greatest FPS I've ever played, although I'm not a huge shooter guy, so I haven't played them all. The fact that I'm not a big FPS fan and am still raving about this game should tell you something. If you don't play this game, you are missing out on one of the best video game experiences you'll ever have.… Expand

This game was undescribable, and could be found nowhere else. Its online gameplay was fantastic. Though the campaign was kind of short. Other than that everything was wonderful.

I've played many fps games, CoD 1, 2, bioshock, half-life 1, 2, Battlefield 1942, BF2, to name just a few, and none of them can compare to CoD 4 for the sensation of being right into the action in both, solo campaine and multi-players.
It's the best of both world ;o)

I have to laugh at the sony fanboy who keeps posting under a different name but using the same language. Get over it. PS3 is last in the console wars for now and this is a great game on the 360. I haven't played a combat shooter this good since the old Socom2 days. This is by far a better game than Halo3 and should be shooter of the year if not game of the year. You can't go wrong with this one. Condolences PS3 fanboy. I'm sure sony will try harder next time.… Expand

The story mode was to quike..... but the online play is amazing!

This game redefines on-line multiplayer. Amazing graphics, depth, and gameplay makes this a top contender for game of the year. For those who complain about the enemy infinitely respawning (which I despise as well) you apparently never have played a COD before because that's what they all do. The game forces you to be good at it. And if you hear anyone complain about the single player campaign's length, tell them to play on veteran like a real player ought to.… Expand

Best Call of Duty to date. Even with the game built to run at 60 fps constantly, the game looks great. Animations are second to none (I'll never get tired of watching someone in a ghillie suit sprint) Single player has a very nice variety of missions that don't grow old. Besides some very very minor issues (most of which, no lean on the console) this game is perfect. The multiplayer is the best on the 360 and contains a wealth of game types.… Expand

This game is easily one of the top five games of the year. This game is awesome. The campaign has great missions. Online is great, and it has you playing frequently because the more experience you earn, the more weapons and "perks" you unlock. I loved the story and the ending to the campaign. It even includes a bonus mission after the game is beat. One of the reasons the user score is currently an 8.4 is because three people gave this game a 0 because it is not as good as the PS3 version supposedly. You cannot give a game a 0 because it is not as good as the PS3 version. Anyways its a great game, especially since its in Modern times (Hence the name Modern Warfare), as opposed to early-mid 20th century like the other games in the Call of Duty series.… Expand

Unbelievable! Modern Warfare unreal.

Game of the year 2007 Guaranteed.

Think Rainbow Six on crack. Call of Duty 4 puts you right onto the action like no game has before. Infinity Ward totally nailed it. If you miss out on this game, you are missing out on one of the best shooters on any platform. You start off on a ship shooting and kicking in doors, the ship is swaying and breaking apart as you are running to flee the doomed vessel. The action intensifies from there.… Expand

This game is instantly replayable, and beats Halo 3 by a milestone.

AWESOME! Blows away Halo 3!

Game of the year by a good margin. Halo 3 is now nothing more than a very expensive coaster after playing COD 4: MW. Purely spectacular and completely addicting, the Halo fanboys may hate to here it, but all facets of COD 4 not only surpass Halo 3, but do so by a healthy margin.

Wow. By far the best game I have played on the 360. This game is legendary. The amount of detail and care in crafting this masterpiece is dumbfounding. So what if the the single player is a little short. The true beauty of this game lies in it's multiplayer. 16 maps. Fun game types. Rewards out the wazoo. Halo isn't half of what this game is. Beg borrow or steal but get your hands on this game asap. Any time spent playing another 360 game is wasted.… Expand

"Halo 3"...what's that? This game is amazing, intense...and the multiplayer is insanely fun, as is the campaign. Graphics are jawdropping, and the physics spot on. The guy who voted 5 out of 10 doesn't deserve to share the same airspace as the rest of us. COD4 is at the top of the FPS heap, and never lets go of your senses.

This game was like going to every other game company and just telling them they suck strait to there face. Online is amazing while i will agree that single player is short but if you play it on veteran it is extremely difficult which is better but this game is a must have if you like First Person Shooters.

Ok - so the single player is short but it is oh so sweet. It is absolutely stunning in every level. The chernobyl level in particular is probably one of the best in videogame history. Add to that a multiplayer experience that possibly even eclipses that of Halo 3 and you're onto a surefire winner.

This game is awseome. Those who call this game mediocre or bad are completely wrong. This game is the perfect FPS. Single player is short and fun, but the multiplayer is ridiculous with an unmatched and incredible depth. I was not a huge fan of FPS or the COD franchise, but this game is perfection. Never have I played a game sooo intense and with 55 levels and prestige mode you could play multiplayer forever.… Expand

I don't think Max D. knows what he's talking about at all. The graphics are probably the most stunning I have seen on the system so far. Then as for people saying the campaign was too short. Maybe you don't get it. The campaign is basically just an introduction to get you ready for what the game is all about, which is the online multiplayer. To those of you out there without Xbox Live, I truely feel sorry for you, because the online modes are what makes this game epic and something you will be playing long after you're done with the singleplayer mode.… Expand

Yo, xbox 360 "master". What kind of magical gun are you playing with that doesn't have recoil? I certainly can't just point and hold down the trigger for a kill unless I am two feet from the guy. Idiots aside, this is a great game that has to be the most photo realistic game on the 360. Strategy and skill come into play on every online match. Not to mention a little luck. This IS the best shooter if not the best game to be released on the 360. Eat that Halo3.… Expand

The single player is the most intense FPS ever. The gameplay and flow are not as good as Halo 3 but the real part that sucks you in is the multiplayer! It blows Halo 2 and 3 out of the water. PERIOD!

This game is very overhyped. Its good and the multiplayer is very good aswell but the single player was alright for one play through but far to scripted for even a second play through. the story is your typical war story but its not terrible the single player is about as long as other games in the series and the multiplayer will last you a long time. there is no co-op mode. probably because the levels in single player don;t really allow for any tactical situations so throwing even one more player in probably wouldn't help at all. That brings up my biggest problem with the games singleplayer its very scripted meaning the if you play through on the same act again your going to have the excact same expireince as the first. if you enjoy havin g two or more roots to an objective than call of duty is not a game for you there is only one way to complete the game. The enemy AI is also scripted, they will stay the same place the entire time and just shoot at you regardless of you shooting at them. also they throw grenades way to often. you will die way more from grenades then gunfire. another problem is that the gameplay is an excact replica of the prior games in the series, the only difference is that now your in modern day instead of WW2.Alot of people say that call of duty 4 looks like a movie thanks to its graphics but its also alot like playing a movie in that thou really don't feel like you have any freedom at all. The graphics are not quite as amazing as everybody is saying they are They are incredicle but the envirorments may seem big due to the enormous backdrops but the actuall amount of terrain that your aloud to travel across is very little which takes you out of the game when you can't hop over a road block 1 ft tall. Even with these issues going against the graphics its hard to deny that it does have those moments were you might actually think your watching a movie but what takes you out of the expireince somewhat is the sound. the gun sound are pretty good but what really sucks is that they don't cary theselves realistically across the battle field and sounds directly behind you get lost. it would have been great for multiplayer if the sound worked because then the silencer may be actually useful. speaking of the multiplayer its the only reason i bought the game. Its amazing but still not quite as good as Halo's It has a good ranking system byt the fact that you have to earn the game types by ranking up is retarted. the other issue is that the maps are ripped straight from single player locations which doesn't make alot of sences seeing as the game has a very linear progression. If you don't have online then stay away from this game but if you do have online then go ahead and buy this game just don't expect a single player that you will play twice because you will be lucky to play through it once.… Expand

This is one of my favourite games. When I got this game I couldn't stop playing it until it was done. Great simple controls, cool environments and a really interesting story (but too short). Multiplayer is also the only multiplayer I play because its SICK. I hope call of duty 6 will make enemy killing bloodier, missions more open-ended, make enemy and friendly AI smarter, environments more destructible and flammable and the story longer because call of duty must enter the generation of realistic AI and open ended mission design.… Expand

Story mode might be short, but it was well put together and i wouldnt change a thing! Multi-player is so much fun, you can get addicted very easily! best game there is!

The single-player campaign is short but gripping. While it does not have the narrative depth of Bioshock, the story thrusts you into a global conflict while making it very personal. There is one moment, that I won't spoil, that was one of the most effective, gut-wrenching moments of any game I've played. The multi-player game is nothing short of a masterpiece. Combining elements of a role playing game, you earn experience and equipment the more (and better) you play. It's highly addictive.… Expand

I loved this game! When sniping, you have to have everything right or the shot will miss, such as if the wind is blowing! I say everyone will love this game from the first 10 minutes to the last 10 seconds.

Call of Duty 4 has the best online game play for the 360. Create your class is one of the greatest things put into a game. I hate having to shoot someone 50 times before they die (Halo3). This is a must have game.

This game has incredible graphics, except that everything is either really gray, really tan, or really green, and not much else. The suits are very well done, and even change depending on your main weapon in multiplayer and the map. Gameplay just feels right. The Controls are right, buttons are right, speed is right. It may either a bit clunky or a bit fast, but play with your sensitivity setting until it feels right. Very in depth multiplayer. Higher levels are balanced so that they are any more powerful than lower levels, they just have more junk to play with. This is definitely right up there with Halo and Half-Life.… Expand

even after all the hype, Boishock was crappy compared to this. only other games that even come close are halo 3, rainbow six and gears of war. and thats close, they don't manage to better. game of the year, hands down... except for maybe Crysis on pc. anyway... brilliant game.

Kick-ass and must-have game. This game beats Call of Duty 1-3, Halo series, and Bioshock. But so close with Half-Life.

Anywhere between 9 and 10 in my view, went with 10 because some are giving very low scores for a short (6 hour) single player campaign. If you only play single player with this game then you are missing the point. That being said, the single player is still enthralling and despite its length is very fun.

This is one of the best if not the best multiplayer games for the 360. It is the best multiplayer game I have ever played. If you have a gold xbox live account, get this game. If not, get one, then get this game.… Expand

One of the most intense and cinematic campaigns ever made, alongside with an incredibly deep multiplayer make this a must have for gamers.

Doesn't disappoint, Multi player and storyline(including game play) are all done in a superb manner.

One of the best shooters, and best games, ever. The singleplayer, while short, is just amazingly well-done. And the online is very addicting and well made. Also, it helps that it's a popular game, as people still play it to this day.

"J.S." must be blind, deaf, and uncoordinated to think that World at War can even be compared to this game. CoD4 delivers a great narrative single player mode, disgustingly good multiplayer, and is filled with small details that make the game one of the best ever. If you haven't had the pleasure of trying it out, do so before the sequel comes out in November.

Although the campaign is short it is non-stop action all the way, and upon completion you unlock a few extra features that give it an even longer life span. Where the game really gets its legs is in its multi-player. I consider it the best an FPS can offer in terms of online play and has my vote for game of the year.

Very good. Only problems are that there is no offline co-op, and that theres only one C-130 map.

Graphic and sound is awesome...gameplay is intense and satisfying.

Remember all that talk about a "halo killer"? Well I had played Halo 3 for quite some time and recently beat this game and COD4 truly is that "halo killer." The single player is short, but has excellent quality and atomosphere. The online multiplayer keeps you hooked with unlockable weapons and perks that makes you feel like you fully customizing your game plan. The maps, as compared to Halo, are more vast and provide for multiple types of play in headquarters and capture the flag. Now, don't get me wrong. Halo 3 is good, but every second of COD4 is simply a riot to play.… Expand

This is truly the best FPS ever. The single player is not the best ive played (still awesome) but, the mutiplayer brings this FPS game to where none i have ever played have gone. Halo 3 really just got the boot as a GOTY contender now that this came out (thank god)....so it should be between COD4 and Mass Effect.

My jaw has dropped so many times when playing this game !!! The graphics are amazing !!!! The gameplay s amazing !!!! The is the best and most exciting FPS i have EVER played (and I have playe alot !!!). I cant understand why PS3 owners are even rating, let alone moaning. Surely you are being a hypocrite for playing a non-PS3 game in the first place ???? Anyway, this is the best game on the XBox 360 this year !!!… Expand

This is an awesome XBOX LIVE game. The attention to detail has not been lost from single player to multi player. The explosions are heavy, the smoke is thick and the weather is spot on. The feeling of intense battle are as close as you can get it. Without actually knowing what this feels like in real life, in this virtual life you feel the adrenalin pump as you duck and cover as you hear the tink tink of a near by grenade landing at your feet. The dust settles and your on your toes again, firing your M16 or others wildly but with intent. A few men taken down by sure shots follows by the shock of being shot down from a sniper through a distant window draws his breath and squeezes the trigger. You know this as a clever kill camera reviews your last moments from your assassins movements are reviewed. its a sucker punch every time! Along with all that and much more including guns galore, clever perks add to your gameplay such as steady aim, ultra conditions so you can sprint longer and an AVU blocker to make you invisible to enemy radar, it makes it a MUST BUY. trade in your Halo 3s. Trade inyour GRAWS and gear's. This is the only FPS shooter you need. Could be even better with a few neat vehicles.… Expand

To get to know this game, you need to play it for more then an hour. The campaign takes getting used to because of physics and effects not known to other game. One example is shooting through walls. Someone could be confused about this feature, but there is actrually a challenge in the online multiplayer that encourages you to shoots through walls to kill your enemy. The campaign had amazing graphics and is great on hardened or veteran mode, while the multi-player addicts you to numbing visuals and a great sense of emergence. You would have to be a noob or a retard to skip this game. Amazing game, possibly better then Halo 3.… Expand

game is quite good very nice story line keeps you on your seat online simply put awesome countless houres spent on this game

Modern Warfare delivers on the hype. It's a great looking game, has a solid campaign, and great online multi-player. More importantly, it shows that Infinity Ward can break from what they are comfortable with and still deliver a great game. Hopefully this trend continues.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I think the single player campaign could have been a bit longer, but altogether I did enjoy the story. This is definitely a neat look inside of the technology that our military uses to keep up safe. The graphics look great, and they are very smooth. The voice acting is stellar, and the missions are creative. Overall, I think Infinity Ward took their time and really tired to make a great game, not necessarily a game that would make them an insane amount of money. The only places Modern Warfare is lacking are the length of the campaign and the multiplayer. Although it is a lot of fun to play this game with your buddies, there are very few options to make the multiplayer interesting. There are something like 10 multiplayer maps, 10 or so preset "classes" of warrior, and very few game types. I just wish it would've been upgraded with a few more options. All that said, this game is definitely worth the time, and the story alone is worth the money.… Expand

Brilliant game, I wish they had simply just released more maps for this game than releasing it's sequels. Where did they go wrong from here to the next game?

This game turned COD into the most popular shooting franchise since Halo!The game itself is exceptional!The only minor problem is the somewhat weak missions at times and the controls are somewhat difficult to get used to at first,but once you get the hang of it,this is the game to play!Long live COD!!!

9.5/10 = Incredible = The standard for online shooters today. No one makes a game PERIOD in todays gaming age without borrowing something from this game. A really amazing fps experience.

This is the best multiplayer online shooter ever made. The single player is there, and it's cool, but that's not the point of this game. The class system and unlockables make this the most engaging, interesting game in the series. There's not so much stuff that it's annoying like its current version (Black Ops), and it just feels right. The maps are paced correctly and there's more than a few interesting choke points and mission modes that keep it varied. I'm not sure what the negative reviews for this game are going for -- this game was nothing short of a multiplayer revolution. Finally a game that mixes realism, twitch FPS gaming, and an engaging leveling system.… Expand

Smack Job here. To be honest I played MW2 but found it to be boring, with a bad campaign and an unbalanced multiplayer, with a crap SpecOps with recycled campaign level mad even more boring. I found this to be WAYYYY better. Fantastic campaign, much more balanced multiplayer. Not the best graphics I've seen and no Co-Op but they'll do and the solid gameplay more than makes up for it. Good game. Good game.… Expand

Just a brilliant game.i don't remember playing better Multiplayer ever and Campaign is also EPIC

Second best game I have ever played on any xbox system...Original Halo. That said this game is by far the best war game ever made. The weapons are great, the killing is great. I love how you can bomb people from the sky with a remote. Very violent, great.

FPS perfection!! Theres very few games I would give a 10 too but the Call of Duty Series, (especially Infinity Ward) is definitely an exception to the rule. There is no Game out there that has the intensity in single player mode and game play and frame rate in multi-player. There is no substitution for the Whole Call of Duty Series!!

This is my second favorite game of the Call of Duty series. The story is pretty good and this game handles and feels better than any game before. It came out in 2007 and it's still among the most played XBOX Live games. Multiplayer is extremely balanced, except for juggernaut, but it's easily reversed with stopping power. The graphics are good for it's time and the IW engine was at it's best for this game. It's extremely fun.… Expand

Ah. I bought this game after trading in Black Ops, which I didn't overly enjoy, and I was impressed. This is where Call of Duty turned into what it is today. And it's never been done better. The campaign had a good story, good set-pieces, and interesting little tid-bits for the pro-player. The multiplayer is simply, in my view, perfection. I can't see any other game ever beating what CoD 4 accomplished with it's online mode. Pick up the GOTY if you've somehow missed this.… Expand

Very good game. Pretty much the role-model for the rest of the online shooters that came out after it. The multiplayer at the time was like no other and was really fun. I believe this game is the one that got everyone into FPS. I have played all of the call of duties in the series and this one is by far the best for it's time. I had a lot of memories playing this game, and when I play it again I always have fun. Easy 9 in my book.… Expand

This is the only game FPS game that I can honestly say I loved. The fact that many people still play the multiplayer mode of this game to date shows you how amazingly addictive it is. The graphics and the wide variety of missions keep you wanting to play on. However, what really makes this game stand out for me is its brilliant story and powerful characters, which is rare among modern first person shooters. A very good game.… Expand

It seems to have become very popular to criticize the Call of Duty franchise recently but it is easy to forget how influential Call of Duty 4, the first of the Modern Warfare games has been. The single player mode took in a huge variety of locations putting the player in control of both a U.S Marine and British S.A.S. soldier fighting through an unfolding story, that while still light years behind the best movies, was full of twists and turns that kept the player guessing. At the time the game play was a huge leap forward for console shooters coupling rock solid controls with fantastic set pieces in which too test your skills. For me, although each of the sequels other than World at War were also very good, this first Modern Warfare title remains the pinnacle of the franchise in this regard.

It was of course the multi-player however that truly made Modern Warfare stand out from the crowd. I had never been interested in any on-line shooter before but spent weeks playing on this. The fantastic gunplay from the single-player was coupled with an excellent selection of maps and the all important perk system, now a standard for any on-line FPS. Allowing players the chance to customise their characters weapon set, special ability and appearance was a masterstroke and has helped make Call of Duty the most valuable franchise in gaming today.… Expand

The best game of 2007, hands down. Infinity Ward has revived the franchise to it's true potential. With an interesting story with memorable environments and locations, and extremely fun, intense, and addicting mulitplayer, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, is the reason why Call of Duty, is where it is at today.

One of my favorite FPS, I find it funny how all the negative reviews are coming from PS3 fanboys and Halo fanboys...lulz

One of my favorite FPS's of all time, the singleplayer was short but extremely rewarding, has its fair share of OMG moments. But where this game really shined was the multiplayer, this game really did it right, and I guess this sounds weird in retrospect of playing some of the newer Call of Duty titles like Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, but I strongly feel this had the most balanced multiplayer maps, killstreaks, gun setups, hit registry out of any of the COD4 or later COD games, if you don't believe me try it out, I strongly recommend anyone who was a fan of MW2 and or Black Ops or just wants an excellent FPS game for their library.… Expand

In my opinion, this is by far the best call of duty. The story is great, along with the characters. The multiplayer is also great, with a great variety of guns. The only negative that you could possibly find about this game, is, the glitches that occur later on in the game. so if you are looking for a game with a great story, and a spectacular ending, then you should pick up call of duty 4.

This game is awesome!!The game play is enthralling even if it is a little bit short.With Captain Price and Gaz as your mentors you will never go wrong!This is definitely a must buy!!

This is arguably one of the most revolutionary shooters of all time. The single player campaign, the story, arcade mode and especially the online. CoD4 gave birth to the new generation of shooters. Everything feels lively and full of epic, intense action. Arcade mode adds replay value to the campaign and makes it very addictive to replay and get a higher score and move up the leaderboards. What's even more incredible is how all of the online maps are based off ones in single player, but you don't actually notice the variety in map design until you see the familiar places you went through in the story online. This game is why CoD is successful. It added customisation as well as challenges and the great ranking system, including prestige mode. There's just no point in even going through the additions this has made to multiplayer shooters. As single player experience alone, this is 10/10, let alone the multiplayer counterpart. And for those of you who think it's short, well guess what? It isn't. It's compact, not short. You get so much variety and epicness in so little time and you don't want it to end so that's why it feels short- because it's soooooooooo good. The difficulty level is done perfectly. Veteran is Veteran, and not just easy. I doubt that any time in the future a campaign will ome along that has more variety, is more engaing and has a better story and characters. In every way, CoD4's single player is by far one of the all-time greats. It may be fairly short, but the amount of content it holds, the outstanding level design, the intense gameplay, the distinctive characters, the excellent plot and the beautiful soundtrack. This has it all. And when you're finished, the awesome Arcade Mode allows you to play for high scores per level. "Short and epic", in the words of Battlefield 3's lead designer Patrick Bach, is better than long and boring. In CoD4 there are no fillers, no boring points. Every single second of every mission is put to good use. It is so well scripted. The multiplayer, of course, is what this game has received most credit for. And it deserves all merits too. The variety in level design from the campaign has lead to some of the best, if not THE best collection of multiplayer maps ever, with a great variety in environments and layouts. The multiplayer really is a complete package and can be enjoyed by all gamer of all skill levels with all sorts of playstyles. The different game modes, weapons, maps and challenges accomodate for everyone, and private matches are great fun to play organised games/set rules. Not only does CoD4 ooze revolution, but it is genuinely the best FPS of all time.… Expand

The new face of war. I was uninterested in playing this sort of action war games and rather sick of the Call of Duty series until this entry came along and completely blew me away. Very tight narrative coupled with intense combat and some truly amazing moments makes for one real hell of a game.
