Abosultely magnificent - just one problem
I deceided upon getting the Pc version of COD4 after having an immense amount of trouble on the ps3 version. and to start i played through the stroy mode, i will say this. the enemy AI is better on the PC than it is the the ps3 version, but not by much.

I have also noticed two key differences between the two:

Load times - they are defitenly quicker, by a long shot. even on the multiplayer. much better.

frame rate - much quicker, even on on a res of 1680 x 1050, which my TV unfortunately cannot reach that resolution. im sure a 1080P TV would be better anyday though.

however amongst all its greatness, there is one problem with the multiplayer. that is the team management, this is in dire need of fixing as most times i have played, there has been 8 on the opfor team and then 15 on the marines side.

now this does leave me with 22 kills a round, but most times i feel that it is unfair and that the teams should be autosigned by the server instead of having the choice.

final score - 9/10

Lock and Load!
I have played the earlier Call of Duty games. They were a lot of fun but became very "same-ish". They weren't very replayable. However, after playing CoD4 I immediately started again....and again! It is just as much fun every time.

It has an excellent story line. Surprisingly (and pleasingly for us Brits), the lion's share of the action is with the SAS. The acting is good (and amusing in a non-politically correct fashion at times).

I was stunned by the graphics. They are almost cinematic. Of course, graphics alone don't make a game but in this case it helps immerse you in the story. The realistic scenery, coupled with the physics make it feel real.

Bullets can now pass through some materials (eg walls). It's no longer possible for you (or your enemies) to take cover behind a sheet of paper.

There are two breaks from the all-out action. One is a stealth sniper mission. Normally, I find those pretty boring in a shooter game. Not this time. I loved it. There is also a mission where you act as a gunner in an AC130 Spectre. You sit in complete safety as you blast the enemy with an assortment of lethal weapons. Your only worry is blowing your own side to smithereens.

In the old days, I would always put tactical shooters ahead of FPS corridor shooters. However, the latest tactical shooters have been "dumbed down"(except, maybe Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior). CoD4 is linear with no direct control over squad mates. Nevertheless it's a great substitute for that feeling of reality that tactical shooters used to provide.

next call of duty
They are going to do another ww2 game
Activision Inc and Treyarch has just announced that they will be taking all you Call of Duty players into deep South Pacific and European theaters this fall for Call of Duty: World at War, this new game which may be loved or indeed hated is a game that contains a gritty fight that will put players up against enemies that know no surrender and of course the enemies show no mercy at all. The new game utilizes Call of Duty 4 (CoD 4) Modern Warfare engine and now throws the rulebook right out of the window of war to transform World War 2 (WWII) combat through a new enemy, there will be stunning new tactics and new experiences of the climate battles that gripped a generation. As U.S Marines and Russian soldiers you the player will love new features like cooperative gameplay, cinematically intense experience and brand new weapons like flamethrowers.
But cod4 is an amazing game but very short i completed it in just over 3 hours!..most games seem to be made for online play these days and little is done for the single player in mind
