Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

5 out of 5 starsScore: 100/100

The best shooter I've ever played.

    Modern warfare is with out a doubt one of the best call of duty games I've ever played. The campaign while short seems like it was enough, each level, stage, whatever kept the story going, there were no useless boring bits a fluff. In addition to the compelling story and fantastic level design there is a difficulty for every level of gamer from recruit (grandmas could walk through this crap) to veteran (you'll cry, trust me :D). The controls are very intuitive and can be picked up in about ten or fifteen minutes tops. The graphics and sound are very believable, each gun sounds real with very nicely done recoil. The frame rate is very stable I haven't noticed any really bad shuddering.Overall the singleplayer alone makes this game worth having.

    Now for the real good stuff, multiplayer, every game type is fun and well designed and there's one for everybody from straight up death match to hardcore objective games. The awesome custom class based system is so well designed so no matter what level your at you never feel completely out gunned it's never like you have to work to get the only good weapons and you never feel like youy only lost the game just because the other team had higher level guns. Each map has a good layout and plays well though some favor certain game types. The custom classes let you play to your specific style and five custom slots gives you plenty of options.

   COD4 is the best shooter I've ever played the singleplayer and story is compelling, tie that together with an awesome multiplayer system with cool maps and well designed game types and you've got yourself a definite buy, and I can recommend this game to any fan of shooters.
