Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition: Xbox 360

Pros: Great HD Graphics. HDMI Support. Great Gameplay. Amazing multiplayer. Awesome Xbox Live experience (Very little server lag). Thousands of addons, challenges, unlockables, weapons, extras. Challenging, yet enjoyable campaign.

Cons: Frustrating at times. Extra maps are around £8 ($16 USD). Short campaign.

Bought this game a bit late, but got the "Game of the year edition" which means all of those online map downloads. FREE! Which i'm always happy with, me being a bit cheap XD. However! i went to the website to redeem my code to find (http://gameoftheyear.callofduty.com/) that they had "run out of tokens and were refilling" this was over a week ago now. and am really dissapointed they STILL haven't got it sorted.

Anyways, enough of the bad side. On to the actual gameplay... One word; outstanding! Deserves the game of the year award, even if the maps dont work :@ no idea why i hadn't bought this game before! The online play is just as good as offline, if not better. Great clan mode to play with your crew. Fantastic array of game play modes, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch etc,etc (only ones i've played ^^). Easy to get into!

Would highly suggest anyone who has not yet bought this. DO! If you like GTA4, you will no doubt like this. The physics engine is quite alike with rag-doll systems and

This game was terrific. Lots of different missions and weapons. Adrenaline-pumping action and tension. But the single player mission is very short. I'm not one for online play, so this was a bit discouraging given the price of the game, but like Bioshock or Gears of War, I might actually be tempted to play it through again.

I've played COD4 for a grand total of about 16 full days (384 hours) and still appreciate it very much. Like Halo 3, this is primarily a multiplayer FPS with a sidecar campaign that is well-written, choreographed, and voice-acted. All there is to say about the game has been said, however, on the original game's forum, so let's focus on the GOTY Edition's only added feature: the Map Pack.

I purchased the map pack the day it dropped and instantly had mixed feelings. Two of the maps, Creek and Killhouse, only tangentially keep with the game's fiction. Creek is vast, set in an undulating eastern European countryside. Due to the map's size, most players equip sniper rifles and just pick others off as they make their way through choke points and hence has gained a reputation as a "camper's paradise", meaning that players tend to just sit and wait, or "camp", rather than rush their opponents. Killhouse, on the other hand, is somewhat like Halo 3's Foundry map in that it is a big generic warehouse

...

within which players navigate generic barriers and structures. It really is supposed to resemble an indoor military training area and can only be accessed online by playing Team Objective games (like Search and Destroy, Sabotage, etc.) or playing private matches with your friends. If you don't appreciate campers in FPS's and would prefer not to play a map that feels "outside" the game's narrative space, you may not enjoy these two maps.

Chinatown is in a class of its own, and well outside the game's fiction. It is a remake of an old FPS map and very dark, with convoluted passages through a cluster of themed buildings and various shifts in altitude depending upon which building you're in. In contrast to Creek, this is a map that favors close-quarters weapons like SMGs and Shotguns, but doesn't totally exclude LMGs or Assault Rifles. It stands apart from the game proper due to its theme, and if you like getting down and dirty in an urban setting, you might enjoy this map.

Broadcast is a large map lifted almost pixel-for-pixel from the single-player campaign. It is a television station in a city somewhere in eastern Europe, and affords players the opportunity to battle both indoors (various offices, a recording studio, mainframe room) and out (parking lot, roof, small adjacent buildings). Out of the Map Pack maps it boasts the best "flow", meaning that time between scuffles is short and that there is easy, obvious passage between areas and floors. Campers and rushers are both satisfied as the indoor action favors machine guns while snipers may pin down marks from accross the parking lot.

All of that being said, I'm a little disappointed that the GOTY version of the game doesn't include any visual or technical enhancements like other GOTYs have (thinking of Morrowind and Oblivion here) and only includes a free set of mostly-mediocre maps that will, after time, be free anyway. Also, it doesn't seem like a sound marketing decision to charge full price for the GOTY Edition when a consumer can purchase the original game (from Amazon) and the maps (from XBL) for $10 less than it costs to buy the GOTY Edition. Questionable...
