 Great game for Single Player June 6, 2008

This is a great single person FPS, good story lines. The on-line game is every bit as fun. Get the game for hours of fun!
Excellent FPS for Modern warfare.. July 1, 2008

COD, COD2, and now this little diddy. Wow this is s superb game. I am a single player kind of guy, If I want multi player, I will log in and play counter strike. For single player games, i want something just like this. the story is excellent, with more than a few plot twists and surprises. The only gripe about this game is that in typical infinity wad fashion, it is short. But it is soooo damn good... Viva la expansion!
 One of the Best FPS Ever July 8, 2008
Allen Whitaker (Acton, MA)
As a gamer, I tend to rate the state of the video game industry by the quality of First Person Shooter games, both PC and PS II. FPS is my favorite type of video game.
With the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, I feel as though the video game industry is in fine shape. This game delivers highly detailed and realistic game play with amazing graphics and extremely true to life sound.
Technically, the game seems to have few glitches, although I recommend a robust video card with good ventilation in your system. The state of the art graphics are demanding on your video card. I've also found that the game is stable as long as the default "optimal" settings are used in your profile in the game setup. For example, the default "optimal" settings option sets the video display at 800x600 with a refresh rate of 60 Mhz. When I tried to adjust the display settings to match my 1280x1024 monitor I experienced crashes during game play. However, when set to the default "optimal" setting, the game is stable, and the aspect ratio appears fine on my larger monitor.
Those issues aside, this is a great, fun game, with just the right pacing and level of difficulty through a variety of modern combat scenarios. Although the game does not have full "save at any point capability, the spontaneous healing capability from enemy fire eliminates the annoying need to constantly pick up health packs. This goes a long way toward balancing the lack of save progress control.
Lastly, this game does have a limited number of levels, and I am awaiting the new release of Call of Duty: World at War. I wish though, that Activision would release an expansion pack for this game instead of a whole new game. While they have published a few new maps for the online/multi player version recently, this is not really a full expansion, so the game remains relatively short at four levels. In the final analysis though, the quality of play and amazing graphics in this game make this one of the best video games to date, and I highly recommend.
Thanks,
Allen
Very entertaining in both single and multiplayer modes July 21, 2008

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
In video games, I especially like First Person Shooters, and COD4 has to be considered one of the best available right now. It's graphices, sound, story and voice acting are all very, very good. It falls down in the single player game in being too short, and too scripted and linear compared to Crysis, for example, but is still challenging, varied and enjoyable. One of the features that bothers me is that if you don't advance during the course of a battle to where the designers think you ought to be, you can plan on the enemy spawning endlessly. I'd really like to see that changed in future iterationsto allow a different approach to a battle.
The multiplayer game, although it borrows the maps from the single player games, is another experience altogether. Be prepared for hundreds of servers with varied setups and maps, featuring A LOT of players, many of whom are VERY good at what they do (including my son). As a 65 year old, I can tell you that old age reaction times can be a challenge! I highly recommend this game.
Brilliant August 7, 2008

This is one of the best military games I have ever purchased. I take my hat off to the makers of this game.
