Call of Duty 4 is clearly the 4th main installment in the CoD games. This is the first one to go modern. What does this mean for the game? Well it opens up for new tools of war, and what feels like a full of fun package.

The story in Call of Duty is simple yet very enjoyable. A rebel group in the middle east has ties with a Russian ultranationalists group. The leader of this Russian group wants to seize a nuclear weapon stock pile and use it against the other power of the world. after the rebel leader executes the president of the middle eastern country the american army steps in. While the S.A.S are in Russia to rescue their informant which has information that would change the out look on the war. After the Americans are caught in a nuclear weapon detonating, they are pulled out and formed together with the S.A.S to take out the leader of the Russian group and avoid another world war.

The gameplay in Call of Duty is just like any other FPS game. It place similar to the rest of the CoD games, so if you have played those, you will feel right at home here. The modern cmohange doesn't change the take on gameplay to much, besides adding additional support like helicopter and jets. Over all the feel of this game is fluent and is outstanding of almost any FPS on the market today.
The biggest change in gameplay lies with the bullet penetrating. You can shoot through sheet metal and thin wood, which adds a new and interesting element to gameplay in singleplayer and in multiplayer.

The graphics in call of duty are some of the best of this gen. Every thing is nice to look at. With realistic guns and character models. It add a believable atmosphere to the game. The only problem with this is the bad textures of some walls when you get to close.

The sound in call of duty is truly some of the best of any FPS. With great voice acting which add another believable element to the game. Great sounding weapons. And just any sound in the game, just sounds right.

The multiplayer is probably the best part of the package. It alone is worth the purchase. It has a leveling system that includes challenges that will unlock you experience and new stuff for your weapons. With every rank you unlock more challenges or new weapons or perks. Perks are these things you add to your class in create a class, these give you a element of new gameplay. They range from more health to more grenades.
The multiplayer will keep you hooked for a long time, and certainly reviles Halo 3

If you do not own Call of Duty 4, you should go out and pick it up. It is worth every penny.
