Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Editor's Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (COD4:MW), is one of the most popular and critically respected first-person-shooters ever made. With high-octane set pieces, nail-biting gun battles and addictive multi-player, this is gaming at its most cinematic and thrilling.

The single player and split-screen co-op campaign follows an intense series of levels as you step into the shoes of soldiers from the S.A.S and the U.S marines, chasing down a rogue Russian nuke and hunting terrorists. The online multi-player mode provides an unrivalled combination of addictive gameplay, tactical combat and online community.

But with two sequels already released, is it really worth revisiting the original COD4:MW? Simply put, yes. While MW2 and MW3 have been criticised for just rehashing the original Modern Warfare gameplay, Call of Duty 4 remains an essential download for any first-person-shooter fan. The main campaign is a tight, thrilling rush through a variety of warzones and combat situations. The core gameplay is pretty much genre-defining, and the weapons feel weighty and realistic in your virtual hands. The A.I. provides a real challenge in the more intense firefights, providing cover for eachother and trying to flank you.

It is in the multi-player world that the Modern Warfare series excels, and Call of Duty 4 is no exception.With a unique class system, 32-player matches and a dozen mission variants & maps, there’s enough to keep you amused for months, if not years. This is essential PC gaming.

Pro's: Genre defining gameplay, excellent graphics, unparalleled online multi-player.

Con's: Short single-player campaign, two sequels available.

Conclusion: Not only is Call of Duty 4 the best-selling and most critically acclaimed game of 2007, but it went on to spawn a series which has completely dominated the entertainment industry.

A Taste of Call of Duty 2

Building on the immersive gameplay and experience of the original Call of Duty, the Call of Duty 2 demo allows you to try-before you buy with a single-player mission set in Egypt, 1942 where you play as British infantry. 

New features include a health system that requires close watch on your characters' behavior to notice damage - while this lends itself to a more immersive experience it takes some time (and perhaps a few character deaths) to get used to. In addition, you can now climb barriers to get to new areas.

Sound and graphics are still relatively impressive, despite the fact that the demo was released several years ago. The graphics may account for the size of the download file, but given the investment in time and disk space, a longer mission would have been preferable. That said, there is opportunity for extending gameplay by exploring the city and thee is a wide range of available weapons to use.

Pro's: A good taster of the full game. A complete mission that can be played to the end. Some new features.

Con's: Lengthy download for the amount of gameplay. Single player only. Graphics somewhat dated.

Conclusion: While many demos simply give you a small sample of the full game, the Call of Duty 2 demo is itself a self-contained game that can be enjoyed on its own merits. The short duration of the mission is almost certainly deliberate, encouraging players to purchase the full game. That said, it is enjoyable in and of itself if users are happy to wait through the download and installation. The extra features and abundant weapon options allow for good replay value.
