Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare PS3 Review
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare as taken a huge step forward from the World War II era to modern day shooter. There's new weapons, equipment, and armor. In Call of Duty 4 players assume the role of two characters in the fictional war that takes place in the game. Sgt. John "Soap" MacTavish, a member of the British S.A.S and Sgt. Paul Jackson, a member of the USMC. Though missions for both characters takes place in different locations they are both fighting toward the same goal, to stop the terrorist forces of Khaled Al-Asad and Imran Zakhaev from using the nuclear weapons they have obtained.
Call of Duty 4's campaign is excellent and fun tun to play and it's still fun to play over again and again. However, there's a downside; the game is too short. The campaign spans about less than 6 hours. The AI is superb; they will use cover and throw grenades at you. In the campaign you can sometimes call an air strike or chopper which is really cool. There's many guns to choose from and to use as well. Graphics a looking at its best, but the sound might want a little boost.
Like previous games in the series, Call of Duty 4 also has a multiplayer side, with different adversarial- and objective-based modes that range from simple team deathmatch to games where one team must plant a bomb while the other defends the bombing positions. The players in COD4's multiplayer are class-based, and players quickly earn the ability to customize their own class, but can only can put one attachment to a gun at a time whhich is disapointing. Aside from choosing a weapons loadout, each class also has three "perks," which are unique abilities that fall into three different lists to help keep them balanced. Perks include the ability to hold more ammunition, faster reload times, the ability to drop a live grenade whenever you die ("martyrdom"), and so on.Players earn in-game support attacks for getting kill streaks, allowing them to turn on radar to see enemy movements, or call in air strikes or chopper support.
Players also have levels of experience, and getting kills or completing objectives in multiplayer games gives experience points. Going up in level unlocks additional weapons and perks. The player level tops out at 55, at which point players either keep all of their unlocked gear or opt for "prestige mode," which rolls everything to level one, but displays a new icon to other players to broadcast the choice to unlock everything all over again. There are ten total levels of prestige.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare is overall a great shooter for anyone who like shooters, or is just a plain Call of Duty fan.
