Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare(PC) Review

Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare
(COD4:MW)

First of all,allow me to present to you a short introduction on this game.

Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter(FPS) video game,developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision as shown in the above image.

It's the 4th installment of the Call Of Duty(COD) video game series

Unlike any other FPS games,including its own COD series,the game is set in modern times instead of the usual World War II.

It's a wise choice taken by Infinity Ward to produce modern FPS,as there are far much more WWII FPS than modern ones.

I'm one of the many gamers out there,who fancy modern FPS more than anything else.

Enough of the introduction,and let's get to the actual review.

First of all,i would start off with the good and the bad of the game.

The Good - Realistic,intense and exciting single-player campaign.
- Attention-grabbing storyline.
- Non-stop thrilling action,in both campaign and online mode.
- Fantastic graphics and natural audio/voice.

The Bad - Short campaign mode,as compared to other FPS.
- No online ranking system.
- Availability of more weapons would be better.


The single-player campaign put you into the shoes and action of various roles of the good side,which consists of the US and Britain armies.
What could be better than killing the baddie and turn their life miserable,and ended up being a hero?

Killing the baddie wouldn't be as fun as this.

Though the campaign is short in quantity,but the game makes up for it with its quality.
The realistic graphics makes it like a real life experience of war.
You can feel as if you are fighting on the battlefield itself,with a bunch of squads with you,helping you and giving you commands.
Running past gunfires for cover,dodging grenades and returning fire.
Whatever that could happen in a war,and that's what you will all see in the game itself.

As it is,a picture speaks a thousand words.
This is how realistic and fantastic the graphics is.

All the modern weapons,
MP5,M4 Carbine,G36C etc,
even the everyone-hates-that-noobtubes aka Grenade Launcher would be found in the campaign as well,together with the attachments like red dot sight and silencer.

And the weapons definitely looks as real as it could be.
Thumbs up,and it's definitely not a paper gun.

M4 of COD4:MW

The best mission of the campaign would have to be the sniper ones.
Where you play as a disciple of this sniper master,who will lead you the way to assassinate the boss of the baddie,named Imran Zakhaev.
I mean,just how many FPS games at least focus on the sniper area as part of the campaign.
Everyone loves being a sniper,and with that,COD4 have just settled our desire.

In-Game Screenshots

Now onto the multiplayer action of COD4.

There are a total of 5 multiplayer modes - Free for all,Team Deathmatch,Domination,Search And Destroy and Sabotage.

In Free For All mode,everyone else on the battlefield is your enemy,show no mercy and hunt them down.

In Team Deathmatch,players would be divided into 2 teams.
Either Opfor and Marines/Spetsnaz and SAS.
Objective for each team is to take down the enemy as many times as possible.
The winner is determined by either when one of the teams reached the score limit or when time limit is over,the team with the most points wins.

An example of Team Deathmatch.

In domination,players would be again divided into 2 teams.
This time round,the objective is to secure the flags on the map.
Namely Point A,B and C.
Both teams would fight for the flags and the team with the most points generated from the flags wins.
Again,winner is decided when either the time limit is over or when the score limit is reached.

Example of a flag in domination

In Search and Destroy,just like CS 1.6.
The players are divided into Attacking and Defending teams.
Objective for both teams is to eliminate all the enemy or destroying the bombsites by planting bomb and eliminate all the enemy or prevent the enemy from destroying the bombsites,respectively.
There would be 2 bombsites per map.
Players who died in the round would not be able to respawn till the round is over,unlike any other modes.

Example of a player planting a bomb in SND mode

In Sabotage,it's somewhat the same as Search and Destroy,just that the players would be able to respawn everytime after they died until one of the bombsite is being destroyed.

Players can choose between different modes and therefore being given the freedom to play what they like.

The following picture shows how you can create your own class of your choice of gun,pistol,perks,special grenade and attachments. You can also name the class you created.



There are 5 classes of weapons available,each of which accompanied by a pistol and 3 different perks.
1)Assault Rifles
2)SubMachine Guns
3)LightMachine Guns
4)Shotguns
5)Sniper Rifles

As you first started playing,you would start as a recruit,and the default weapons of each class would be provided for you.


You would then have to earn points through killing,clearing objectives to earn your way to higher ranks,and unlocking new weapons and perks.

Before i forget,perks are actually somewhat like 'abilities' that your character would be equipped with.

For example,the following perk named 'Stopping Power',which increase your weapon damages.



You are allowed to equip 3 perks of different slots.
Every slot of perks consists of different perks of different categories.

There are also achievements you can pursue listed in the game.

Thus COD4 provides a action-packed and non-stop progress multiplayer experience.
One of the many reasons why it was named 'The Game Of The Year'.


In conclusion,you might think that i'm bullshiting,but just get a copy of the game and experience the perfection yourself .
By then you would have the same opinion and view as me.


Personal score for Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warefare - 9/10
A Must-Play for all FPS players.
Throw your CS1.6,CSS,Medal Of Honors aside,
and start playing this.
