Mixed with explosive action, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also delivers special effects, including use of depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, real time post-processing, texture streaming as well as physics-enabled effects. Infinity Ward deployed a dedicated team from the start to deliver a new level of depth to multiplayer. Building on the hit "Call of Duty 2" online experience, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's new multiplayer provides the community an addictive and accessible experience to gamers of all levels.

  1. Start to finish, online or off, Call of Duty 4 is solid gold. Some might decry the single-player’s short length or that it’s more of the same, but its amazing quality and the Arcade mode...more than make up for it. Infinity Ward has delivered on every front, and there is no question in my mind that this is the best action shooter that I have ever played.
  2. Come for the engrossing single player campaign, stay for the addicting multiplayer.
  3. An intense gaming experience from start to finish. The story is conveyed much better than the average FPS, the gameplay is varied enough to stay fresh, the graphics and sound both deliver, and the multiplayer is addictive.
  4. Call of Duty 4 is a great online shooter, and welcome competition to both Counter-Strike: Source and Battlefield 2. The single player campaign is everything you can expect from a Call of Duty game and then some.
  5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare may be relatively short with just six to seven hours playing time, but thanks to the brilliant staging those hours are the most impressive ones we've experienced with any action game yet.
  6. If Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had a longer single player campaign our score would have been even higher. As it stands Infinity Ward's latest game still is worth the money to buy and experience for yourself.
  7. 80
    Infinity Ward has mastered a formula of its own making for both single- and multiplayer combat; Call of Duty 4 is louder, better looking, and more chaotic than ever. But it's certainly a formula, one that becomes more transparent with each version.

Brilliant game, great gunplay, and utterly groundbreaking for its time. This and Call of Duty: World at War, are the pinnacle of CoD. This franchise needs to go back to MW and WaW if it hopes to survive. The modern CoD games can't hold a candle to this one. Expand

    The game is absolutely amazing. This one blows all of my FPS games out of the water, and I own atleast 11 games in that genre. The single The game is absolutely amazing. This one blows all of my FPS games out of the water, and I own atleast 11 games in that genre. The single player mode is both intense, and fun, while the multiplayer mode is amazing too (though it's a little off balance since some guys like to air strike a bit...too much haha). I'd say this is the best in the COD series, and is THE BEST FPS game out right now. I haven't even touched CSS that much because of this game. It's worth the $50, get it NOW. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. CALL OF DUTY IS ADVENTURES MISSION BASED GAME IN THIS SEVERAL MISSION ARE THERE IN WHICH PLAYER HAD TO KILL ENEMIES .IT IS A GOOD GRAGHICS AND CAPABILITIES.Good Story Telling, Fun Gameplay, And The Various Levels Are Very Different In Pace And Tone, Highly Recommended, Everything Is Deadly Accurate At Extreme Range And Kills In One Or Two Shots. Furthermore, Things Like Airstrikes And Chopper Support Are Awarded Not By Team Related Objectives But By Kill Streaks Of A Single Player. Thus, It Actively Rewards Fighting Like A Commando, And Punishes Any Who Would Do Something Risky To Attempt To Complete Any Of The Objectives In The Multiplayer Objective Modes. It Essentially Amounts To A Whole Lot Of People Camping, Paying No Attention To The Various Points To Be Captured, Etc. Expand

    Meu primeiro jogo de guerra moderna, é realmente sensacional, jogabilidade, gráficos, história. O único defeito é que a campanha é curtinha.
