It makes use of a proprietary game engine that offers a wide variety of features including true world-dynamic lightning, HDR lighting effects, dynamics shadows, and depth of field.

And afterwards to be trained on navigating and following orders. Then you will be on your first mission on a huge tanker. Call of Duty 4 is about a chaotic war which occurs in various parts of Russia and the Middle East. The action is very intense, enemies armed with artificial intelligence and a good eye. However how many enemies you destroy, new ones will pop up. This can be frustrating and will keep the tension going. In Arcade Mode you will earn points and multipliers. Every type of killing will earn you a set amount of points, so multiple kills will bring in more, as will a knife kill. The more enemies you eliminate, the larger your multiplier is. Every stage has a time limit. The special effects make Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare look like a Hollywood action movie, the scenery and fireworks are amazing. The game never bores you; you will be more and more engrossed. On the other hand the graphics aren’t that good, they look uneven. The sound is good, though. The game is loud with gun fire, explosions, yelling, and the soundtrack. All combined to give a high level of excitement.

- excellent graphics, great sound, online gameplay, online play, immersive gameplay

Last night I finished Call of Duty 4’s single-player campaign. I had been playing it on and off since the release date and I also had The Orange Box to complete along with Super Mario Galaxy so it took me a while to finish. This morning I began to jot notes down about what I was going to write for the post. I realized then that there are so many things that make this game a great game. Every part of it is memorable. The one thing that I still strongly believe that... Read more

Mixed with explosive action, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also delivers amazing special effects, including use of depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, real time post-processing, texture streaming as well as physics-enabled eff... Read more

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 (which lets you compete for points and skill rankings after you’ve beaten the game, á la Halo’s Metagame) 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. Read more

Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat is my new favorite game. When I first popped it in, I was blown away. Graphics are photo-realistic and scary good. Gone is the glossy sheen seen in so many next-gen games today. Instead, you are presented with graphics so amazing, you feel like you are there. Read more

The multi-player of COD4 is one of the best multi-player experiences you will ever have. It rivals games like halo and gears of war with ease. You will find yourself coming back just for the MP experience for years to come! Read more

Reviewer: E8 UFO, swapgame31 March 2009- Overall 10
When this came out it was the king of shooters, and even now only Killzone 2 comes close. Just shows what an amazing game this was and still is. The Graphics, weapons, AI, and multiplayer are phenomenal, the only way it could have been better was to have fully destructable enviroments like they have in Bad company..... Fingers crossed they will in the next instalment..... A must rent or buy game...... Read more

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare for PlayStation 3
Reviewer: Patrick M., review.azze.com29 January 2009- Overall 10
Oh yeah... here we go... shoot first and ask questions later! This is my kind of game. Mindless violence and killing... there's a story line I suppose but I just like running around and finding the bad guys and wasting them. You actually get caught up in all the sounds and sights of battle -- makes the heart race a bit! Of course you die a lot too. You have to figure out the best strategy for overtaking the enemy positions without exposing yourself and your troops. You... Read more
