Review Of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Gameplay

Gameplay

From a gameplay perspective, Call of Duty 4 feels pretty much like CoD2 and 3. The controls are the same, and other things like the grenade danger indicator are all present and accounted for. One area where CoD4 is a bit different is that it seems to be much faster paced than the previous games in the series. Thanks to a very generous lock on system where you can just tap the left trigger and your gun automatically moves to the next target (this can be turned off if you want), you can clear buildings and power through firefights extremely quickly. Personally, I really like this because it makes you truly feel like a badass. You are playing as a fully trained and highly skilled soldier, and the gameplay really makes you feel like one. It is absolutely a thrill to enter a room and kill three guys in less than three seconds with precision bursts. The whole game is just smooth and easy to control and absolutely satisfying.

Single-Player

The Call of Duty games have always had great single-player experiences, and CoD4 is no different. It clocks in at only 6-7 hours, but it is filled with amazing moments that are going to be absolutely worth replaying. You play as a few different characters through the game, but you are always a member of a small but highly trained squad that can get in, do their job, and get away safely. You cover a lot of fairly varied terrain, and the straight up FPS shooting is broken up with vehicle gunner segments, quiet mission where stealth is the key, and a couple of sniper missions that are probably my favorite two missions in any FPS ever. It also needs to be noted that your AI squadmates are actually really smart and really skilled and can more than hold their own.

Multiplayer

As good as the campaign is, the Xbox Live multiplayer is where you will probably spend most of your time if you are a hardcore FPS fan. It comes with plenty of maps and game types for up to 18 players, and you can choose from a ton of options to make the game play pretty much how you like. CoD4 is more of a slow paced, Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon style of game rather than the run and gun style of Halo and isnt going o be as immediately accessible for players. It is far more satisfying in the long run for dedicated players than Halo, however, thanks to the experience and perk system that rewards you with new skills and abilities the more you play. All in all, CoD4 is a blast to play online that offers some of the deepest and most rewarding multiplayer youll find.

Graphics and Sound

Without a doubt, Call of Duty 4 is one of the nicest looking games on the Xbox 360. The environments are really the stars of the show here, and the battle damaged cities, building interiors, forests, and grassy fields all look realistic and great. The lighting effects are also spectacular and really set everything off.

The sound is also impressive all around. Great music, great sound effects, and mostly great voice acting make CoD4 a treat for the ears as well as the eyes.

Bottom Line

Call of Duty 4 has been in the works for a long time at Infinity Ward, and all of the effort has definitely been worth it. It has a fantastic single-player campaign, a fun and deeply rewarding multiplayer game, and wraps it all up in some of the best graphics and sound on the Xbox 360. My only real complaint is that there is no co-op play. The campaign is so fun and exciting and having a friend along for the ride would have made this already great game truly exceptional. That issue aside, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fantastic game that is highly recommended for a purchase.
