Great sounds and graphics make for an exciting virtual adventure. C Of duty 4 does not need to be registered on Steam account and I really like that. well im new to gaming and really enjoy playing this game. After buying used "call of duty ; Modern Warfare 2" and finding out that the key was registered on "steam" already, well that sucked. Graphics are very attractive and price on a used copy is excellent for what you get.
I LOVE the game on X-Box and Playstation as well. MY problem is this, you have to use the keys INSTEAD of a game controller for PC.
Enjoy the $$ you got you wont get any more. WHAT A RIP OFF.
NO WHERE did it state that until I purchased the game, then got ahold of Activision, then of course it stated "This a a game for PC, for the use of keys, NOT a game controller. I wont purchase another game.period.
I was disappointed with this game and no matter how much I try to like this game I can't. I purchased this game for my PC, as a way to pass the time, and game with others on a LAN.
If it does NOT suport the use of a controller, THEN STATE IT.
It's easier than the first one. I give this one a C-. There is no bonus game for sitting through the endless animated credits and the end obviously is a set-up for further games--will the villian be resurrected in the next game. Does anyone have an iota of doubt that "Ghost" is Gaz reincarnated. Is this supposed to be "progress." COD World At War is by far the best game. The graphics and range of weapons are great, but the newer the release the shorter and easier the game becomes. The only reason to buy the Modern Warfare series is for the better graphics and the return of supposedly "killed" players. Try not to use recycled landscapes in the next version too, please.
Otherwise get yourself a copy of ARMA 2, now ARMA 2 is far from perfect but is certainly far more realistic, there is a lot more freedom and has much greater replay value with the excellent mission editor than any COD game. Also try Brothers in Arms Hells Highway, again far better than any of the COD games.I hope this review was useful to someone.Tom The missions have pretty good variety and the guard dogs are very frustrating. There's not much to the game, you just simply walk down the unblocked routes offered to you shooting the bad guys as you go, then you get to the point where you are hit by waves and waves of oncoming bad guys which you just have to rush through to stop the respawning enemies.Saying that I enjoyed the story and have to say that the best missions were the US Marines in Iraq (there weren't enough of these missions), those were cool missions. I wont talk too much about the graphics because they are pretty good, not the best but not bad.(of course the game is a few years old though).The game play is virtually the same as any other COD game, that being there is no real skill involved in playing the game. Okay so this will be a quick review on my thoughts about this game. It is difficult don't get me wrong but it is very simplistic and requires hardly any thinking or tactics. If you enjoyed the other COD games get this one, or if you want a little mindless FPS gaming then this will certainly be for you.
One of the neat touches is the depth of field effect, where nearby objects and soldiers appear out of focus, while the area where you should be concentrating is nice and sharp--this is huge in adding to the realism, as your natural vision works the same way. Buy it, play it.and be prepared to be impressed. You put these graphics and this sound together with the breathtaking action, and you'll find it hard to stop playing such an engaging experience.Yes, the single-player campaign is relatively short, but in this game it's a clear choice of quality over quantity. Would I like it to be longer.
The action just flows all around you, just like a real combat scenario would. While I'm not one of those who can play for days, or blow through a game in a few hours, I do love a good FPS, and military combat simulators in particular. Grenades are flying, attack dogs are on the prowl, enemy soldiers are actively using cover, going for flanking positions--in short, this game brings the true chaos of war to your home screen. The shadow effects are mind-blowing in their accuracy and authenticity. So many times you will find yourself marveling at how lifelike everything looks. I'm one of the rare ones that only plays the solo portion, and even with the brevity, I believe you will still find it hard to top this experience. I have a newer quad-core system, but with an average graphics card, and it still played beautifully on the recommended settings.
In COD4, you are jumping into living, breathing battles that have already got a head of steam going, so the scene is never stale and passive. Absolutely, but I still wouldn't trade the opportunity to play this incredible game. If your tastes are like mine, you can't help but be impressed as the scenes unfold, constantly being amazed at the fluid action that's present everywhere, just as it would be in real life.As far as the look and sound, it just doesn't get much better. I love the realistic look and unforgiving nature of games like GRAW, and COD4 just takes this to a whole new level.When describing what makes this game so much better than the others, the word that comes to mind is FLUID.
There is none of the pre-ordained feel of other games, where you stalk around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the enemy before they see you. They really put a major effort into the graphics, and it is highly rewarding in practice. The sound is top-notch, with great effects and very natural-sounding voice acting. This game really does raise the bar well above what has been, and makes me really look forward to the next wave of shooters.
There really isn't much I can add that hasn't already been said, but I wanted to put my two cents in on this amazing experience nonetheless. You must keep moving forward, physically taking control of the ground you just had a nasty firefight to obtain, and you never know when some enemy soldier may come running around the next corner at you, or be holed up nearby, just waiting for you to get careless. The voices in the AC-130 chapter are so spot-on, given confident soldiers removed from the brutality of close-in fighting--their banter will have you giggling at how natural it sounds.
