Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare differs from previous installments of the Call of Duty series. Previous Call of Duty games have a distinct three country-specific campaign style, while Call of Duty 4 has a more film-like plot with interlaced story lines from the perspectives of Sgt. Paul Jackson of the Marines 1st Force Recon and Sgt. 'Soap' MacTavish of the British 22nd SAS Regiment.

Best game with correct balance of story and mechanics.

first play

played on gt 730, i3 7100 Played the entire game around 3 times, really interesting storyline, and great missions.

Ran with around 150fps on gt730. really good gameplay.

Really liked the office mission(25 tries), Chornobyl mission(30 tries), and farmhouse(25 tries) mission.

The difficulty is insane for veterans but that is why I play in that setting.

The difficulty is insane for veterans but that is why I play in that setting.

Great story, felt connected to the characters, that is how a game should feel like, an extension of a movie or comic that we are a part of. not just shooting.

The voice acting of price is really great, liked the weapons collection.

But one thing annoying at the insane/veteran difficult is that all the enemies only shoot me, not the teammates, and are really tough to kill, like hiding in the corners and only getting activated when I walk in, The rocket mission and farmhouse missions took like 20 tries before completing them.

But the rememberable story with good sound, the remastered looks good, but couldn't run it with my GPU.

A great game, that I will remember. Want other games like this that have good missions, and great stories that can be cherished rather than getting mad at why we bought the game in the first place.

Edit 2024:

played on rtx 4060 amd 7700x
played the new remastered version on rtx 4060 with max settings and ran around 200fps without issue
, the game is still good to play the only thing that is too madening is the one shot one kill mission(chornobyl),

the carousel mission where we have to fight off a entire army up until that i played with veteran difficulty but no matter how many times i kill most of the enemies

when i take the Macmillan to flight someone threw a grenade and i had to restart again, even tried hiding till the plane came still same thing,

so just lowered the difficulty to recruit and still tough but completed the mission, another draw back that the difficulty can't raise it again for the rest of the game is done.

completed all other missions relatively easy before and after the Chernobyl so good game but needs some tweaks to make more save points or more covers where there won't be 20 enemy grenades on you every time you move.

Doesn't Hold Up

Okay. Infinite respawning waves were annoying. I don't think it holds up well. 4/10 if you play it nowadays but I'm sure it was better at release.

Yesterday I have finally got 1000G in this game, that is one of my all-time favorites btw. Just needed to collect all the intel on easy and destroy the TV's with Al-Asad's image. Nothing special, but to get to this point I had to finish Modern Warfare's spectacular campaign on veteran back in 2010. And this was the gaming challenge I'll never forget. Not only have I done that, but I also had aim assist turned off for more challenge. The main campaign was tough, but tolerable. However, it took me 8 hours in total to get through a 1-minute epilogue scene. Never will I ever attempt to do anything this hard and stupid, but ngl I'm really proud of this shit.

So, this is the game that made me uphold greatness when it comes to playing Call of Duty stories. I love the multiplayer with a small community that can hold it up on PS3, and if you don't like that you could go buy the remastered version for the PS4 where there are pretty good servers. The remastered though was sadly plagued with micro transactions, loot-boxes, and having to buy the DLC again to a game that came out in 2007. This is sad, but if you just want the story or gameplay with better visuals then I recommend the remastered, if you just wanna play... Well go hook up that 360 or PS3 and hop on.

Oyun mükemmel. Çok eski bir oyun olmasına rağmen mükemmel grafikleri var ve zamane oyunlarının çok ötesinde bir oynanış deneyimi sunuyor. Muhteşem heyecanlı bir hikaye sunuyor bizde. Kesinlikle türünün baş yapıtlarından. Oynamadıysanız beklemeden alın ve oynayın.

If it weren't for respawning enemies this game would be straight up five stars.

Infinity Ward's foray and VERY brief experimental phase ends up with a competent fps multiplayer and a just barely meets average campaign that to be fair holds a sweet surprise in its anti-imperialism sentiment.

For the campaign, you have stop and pop shooting done ad nauseam, but with decent setpieces and some cinematic wonders like the mission All Ghillied Up. I found the campaign to still be more of a monotonous grind but credit where it's due the writers snuck in some gold with the nuclear bomb, fiercely pinning down the Bush presidency's major foreign policy.

The multiplayer is good, but it's more like good in spite of a plethora of disgusting design elements. For one, killstreaks was never an interesting mechanic, it rewards snowballing and gives no counterplay for the enemy team. Awful trash that has spawned even worse incarnations later. That being said, the map design is top notch and there's incredible care into the perk and weapon system. It overall ends in a fps multiplayer that while has an almost too high TTK, still holds elements of strategy and interesting engagement.

Overall, COD4 is a middling affair, but it's certainly aged better than most of the other games in its series have. (6/10)

decided to try this out as a ps+ game but it totally lost me during the first boat mission where i'm given carte blanche to start shooting unarmed people sleeping in their beds in order to carry out my mission. followed up with the next two missions, but it's not connecting for me in the way that either spec ops: the line or metal gear solid 5 did and part of it is that the violence feels gratuitous and unhinged rather than tactical (mgs), deliberate (spec ops) or cartoonish (contra). i dunno, maybe i'll play another 30 minutes, but i'm pretty close to deleting this right now.

I've already completed this game on 360 so I'm confident I can do it again on the PS4. It's gruelling yet challenging to tackle Veteran from the get-go. I do remember this being the most difficult CoD game on Veteran that I've played.

XBox One, odehráno ~20hod, převážně singleplayer.

Není to vyloženě špatná hra. Pro začátek hraní na XBox One to bylo fajn na naučení ovládání. Příjemné bylo například automatické zaměřování. Ovšem hra stále má spoustu bugů, některé jako například zaseklý tank mě velmi potrápily a hlavně proto dávám tak nízké hodnocení.

Refreshing difference from WWII even if it was a bit silly. Good multiplayer that would be vastly improved about in MW2
