Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is another addition to the popular Call of Duty first-person-shooter franchise. The idea takes places in the near-future, where you play the role of either an American Marine (Sergeant Paul Jackson) or British SAS Commando (”Soap” MacTavish). Gameplay is set in locations worldwide including Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Call of Duty 4 differs to previous Call of Duty games, as this one is set in the near future rather than in World War II. This shift into the modern day has brought in lots of new concepts to the game, including the ability to use grenade launchers, anti-tank missile launchers and even call airstrikes!

Game Modes

Playing Call of Duty 4 in campaign mode, you go along taking the places of different officers which requires you to get to checkpoints throughout the game or simply annihilate all the enemies present.

Multiplayer mode in Call of Duty 4 has a very wide range of games that can be played, due to the sheer amount of options that can be customised when playing a multiplayer game. The game type is deathmatch, where the host can set the map and players are allowed to use airstrikes, reconnaissance scans and attack helicopters once they have achieved a certain number of kills in a row. Points are earned and built up throughout gameplay, and better weapons and tools can be unlocked as you go along.

Game Announcements and Developments

The developers later released a variety map pack for multiplayer games, which is available for download on Xbox 360 and Play station 3. This pack consists of 4 new maps that add extra variety to gameplay.

As Call of Duty 4 was released on 4 major systems (Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Windows, Mac OS X), it sold the same amount of copies as the hugely popular Halo 3, which was only released for Xbox 360, it even became the best selling game worldwide for 2007! How could you live without a copy?
