Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareFrom EncyClanPedia
SummaryStepping away from their safe and usual boundaries of World War II, Activision and Infinity Ward have given birth to the new standard of combat First Person Shooters. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released November the 6th across North America, where it was met with a great round of applause from the gaming world. This fast paced, campaign driven shooter takes you from the deadly streets of the middle East, to the cold and frost barren lands of the former Soviet Union, including the radioactive wastelands of Pripyet and Chernobyl. You are thrown into the driver’s seat as you play two different characters. The first is a fresh recruit of the British S.A.S named Soap, young and eager to show that he can handle himself with the rest of the world's top counter terrorism unit. The other is a hard hitting U.S. Marine named Jackson. Together you must rush to stop radical ultra nationalist terrorists who seek to bring down the West. The single player campaign plays out like you're watching the newest action flick at the theater, with ground breaking cut scenes, and graphics that make you question weather or not you're actually behind a computer screen, or out in the thick of the action yourself. Call of Duty 4 follows in similar food steps to it's predecessors, as it does not include controllable vehicles, and a short campaign. These two short comings are tremendously overshadowed by the fact that this is simply one of the highly constructed and beautiful first person shooters to date. If you thought that this was all, you're in for another surprise. The multi player component of CoD4: MW will have you sitting down for days on end with it's highly addictive game play. I suggest telling your boss that you won't be making it to work for the next couple of days while you race against your friends to see who can reach the ultimate level of Commander first, with all it's glory. CoD4 features something that previous call of duty's didn't, which is the ability to create custom classes, which suit every style you can think of. Weather you're a silent sniper, or a bone crushing machine gunner, this has it all. Even once you've reached the highest level, you will never get bored as you try and complete the extremely fun and sometimes difficult challenges, and the endless hours of online play which you will be sucked into. Once you start, there's no turning back! I recommend Call of Duty 4: Modern warfare for every combat lover, military enthusiast, first person shooter addict, or even the new guy on the block, you won't be disappointed.

Online PlayThe multiplayer in Call of Duty 4 uses a new and unique system that involves 3 sets of "Perks". With these Perks, you can edit your online soldier to the way you see would make the biggest impact ingame. The Create a Class allows you to create 5 completely different classes of your choice, pick whatever weapon you wish, etc. Servers range from any sizes, however, the maps are mainly designed for roughly ~16-20 players, any higher you are going to be getting involved in a crazy shooting frenzy, but, people do like that so Call of Duty 4 has a little something for everybody.
