Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year

...

to face with an enemy looking into the whites of their eyes. Jumping back and landing on grass you may see some dirt rise from your feet. Two shots leave your gun, and the enemy falls to the ground with blood splattered on the wall. The game reminds you of a movie such as Black Hawk Down or Saving Private Ryan.
The intro to the game plays out as if it were the beginning of a movie. You start the game off as Yasir Al-Fulani, the president of the unknown Middle Eastern country, in the back of a car. You see the terror that is brought to your people. Houses are raided, women and children try to run, while others are being executed in the middle of the streets. When you come to a stop your screen becomes blurry as you are hit in the face by a gun. It seems that he leader of the separatists wants to prove a point a point to everyone and executes you. Pretty strong stuff, but it makes you want to hoe into game-play and take action. The cut scenes are also incredible, leaving you to think, “is this really a videogame?” I found myself plenty of times watching the cut scenes as if they were parts of a movie. Ward attempts to draw you in with a strong story line that keeps you on your toes.
Breaking away from previous game settings Infinity Ward, an American video game developing company, leaps into modern day creating Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare. This first person shooter involves you switching between two perspectives: One of a U.S marine and the other of a British S.A.S. The objective is to recover some stolen Russian nukes and eliminate some mid-eastern terrorist bent on destruction. Khaled Al-Asad leads his band of rebels in trying to take over the Middle Eastern countries with brute force. By making the game Modern day Infinity Ward introduces a slew of new guns and technology to the player. Night vision, trip mines, and modern gun’s, such as the .50 cal sniper rifle (one of my personal favorites), brings a new energy to the game-play. The story lacks in a couple of areas. You aren’t able to give friendly troops orders, and the switch between the two perspectives can get confusing. With Xbox Live Infinity Ward is able to pull out the big guns, and keep this game on top.
The online multiplayer mode for Call of Duty allows players to take advantage of Xbox Live, and branch from the story mode and play with friends or strangers online. With games such as team death match and capture the flag, players are guaranteed hours of fun. There’s nothing like waking up to a face full of grenade. Well at least that’s what I hear from the people I play. I sit with my headset on eyes glued on the television screen for the slightest movement. Nothing feels as good as leading your team with a 20-kill streak and sending in a chopper (short for helicopter). I call on two of my many friends online, and begin my killing spree. The ranking system is quite unique as it allows the player to unlock different guns and perks with a higher experience. Guns can be customized with some camouflage, and attachments such as the red dot or silencer for a more stealthy approach. Your level is recognized immediately by beginning players when you enter the game as a 10th prestige level 55. Lets just say that lets others know that you’ve been around the block for a while. The game takes some time getting used to, but once you play for a while you’re hooked. COD4 is good alone with just the story mode, but the multiplayer mode gives it a boost to greatness.
While I find this game easily in my top five selections of games with Gears of War and Halo, there are things that I dislike. The story mode is good, but it just doesn’t capture my attention. I find the game better online than playing by myself. It just doesn’t pull you in the way that the sci-fi games pull you in. If you don’t mind being patient, and watching cut scenes or completing objectives over and over this could be the story mode that you have always wanted. The interactive play online lacks in areas also. The connection to opponents isn’t always that great so a “lag” in someone’s Internet connection could be the difference between you following through with a headshot or losing in a heated gunfight. Besides these minor problems I find this game enjoyable, and cant find myself leaving it out of the system for too long.
Infinity Ward is able to introduce many new aspects to a first person shooter by making Call Of Duty 4 in Modern time. Although you aren’t fighting aliens, or skyscraping monsters, you are on a battlefield taking on characters similar to our forces today. It brings a more realistic feel, which is different than games such as Halo. Without the modern feel, the graphics, the realistic scenes in story mode, and the ability to go online and take out your friends, this game would be just another “war game”. But COD4 brings something different to the table. Something that says, “Play me, play me till your hands fall off.” And this is what I have done, and what I am still continuing to do as I wait patiently for the sequel.
