The enemies are also very intelligent in terms of using their environment to best the S.A.S squads and play hide and seek. The game shows how much fun you can get playing an FPS, everything seems so real, when you shoot someone they will react in the right way instead of just standing there and moaning( like CounterStrike.). The music in this game is a masterpiece, I tried playing with my ear buds on and you can literally feel your heart pounding while performing incredibly intense missions, just like you are in it, being the real "SOAP", and the characters are really well portraited, when Captain Price died I cried for almost half an hour.
I like how you can go to a modded server and the files download automatically as opposed to the manual install of the old days. The realism is quite good too. Not even the amazing US troups can come around a corner, jump 6 feet in the air, shoot down at their target, kill them, and land on their feet like a kitten. I used to play Ghost Recon and Battlefield 2 so the upgrade in graphics is nice. I would have liked to see a co-op game included like the old Ghost Recon but I guess you can only pack so much fun into one game.Still my favorite game to this point. The multiplayer is a blast.
This tends to make most servers a run and gun heaven. A great first person shooter with minimal bugs.COD4 has a fun single player story line with plenty of cool toys to play with. There are far less glitches than those older games. The fact that the PC game is free to play and doesn't involve a monthly fee is also important to me because I play with my two sons and 3 monthly memberships would be cost prohibitive.Bunnyhopping is still an issue that makes game play less than realistic.
Online community is alright nice people good severs. Multilayer has loads of severs although most are just team deathmatch. Overall a very strong title, rather short story mode but very in depth and pulse pounding. Game played like any other FPS point and shoot, good selection of weapons ans smooth mechanics. Multilayer also allows you to customize and unlock weapons through experience and small challenges.
The multiplayer is as tight and well designed as the single player campaign and will provide many hours of entertainment. The single player campaign may be shorter than the average, but it is one hell of a fun ride. Lots of fun. Call of Duty 4 is a blast. The weapons, the action, the fast paced cinematic quality of it grabs you from the start and doesn't let go until the end credits. It keeps you interested with you being able to earn promotions, new weapons, abilities, and customizations.
I loved the Grand Theft Auto III and subsequent releases but no war game ever was interesting enough for me to keep playing. Sometimes I want to go out of bounds and do something the game isn't telling me to do, and that's when it stops being completely unrealistic. I don't know how far I am through the game, I would estimate maybe half way. I get bored easily or if the game is too cartoonist or unrealistic, I will quit playing. While it still does not have the wide open gameplay of the GTA series and the coming Mafia 2, it does have the realism and excitement of a great game. But it is by far time they put out an action war game that keeps you interesting and is realistic and fun to play.
It can get your heart racing a little. It can frustrate you and excite you at times. I also loved Mafia PC game. Over the years I have tried different ones including the 1942 series (which I never much enjoyed). I am very hard to pleased when it comes to action games. I do like sports games though especially Madden.
But the programmers of Modern Warfare (whom I understand didn't make World At war) I am sure are going to make another one of these games with even more advancements and improvements. But I still thought it was boring since it was mainly shoot everything that came in front of you. Open game play would be the next step where the character isn't confined. I have read bad stuff about World At War (the latest release) in the series so I might skip that one. But I understand, the game is waiting for me to complete the mission and in the service you don't really do anything you want. I like the way your team interacts with you like in real combat.
I also played the original call Of Duty many years back and at the time it was the first war game that I ever played all the way through. Now I have to admit for an action game, Call Of Duty 4 is the first war game that is truly interesting to play. The flying missions are fun, everything stays interesting. But all in all, this is the best war game ever made. But sometimes I really get the urge to jump in a jeep and take off, fly a helicopter, or change exactly what I am supposed to do. I have long since imagined playing a great War game.
It is very realistic and intense. Ironically GTA and Madden are two of the best all time selling series (so I must not be alone).
