Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Well as this game is due out shortly I thought I'd start a thread on it. OXM have reviewed and here is some info from the review;

Run down on the first magazine review for Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Singleplayer: 10/10
Multiplayer: 10/10
Overall: 10/10

New info released in review:
10/10, with multiplayer rivaling Halo 3, a ranking system better than Halo 3, 10/10 Singleplayer AND multiplayer (alone). Enemy Intel unlocks cheats, some normal (Unlimited Ammo), some cool and fun (When you kill an enemy, they burst into a mound of tires).

-Arcade mode after completing game (Points for Headshots, multi-kills, and blowing up cars and such)
-Max level 55, but stuff keeps coming after that.
-All ghillied up is the flashback, you play as Cpt. Price (a young one)
-CoD4 manages to cram something into every level.
-You play as "Soap" MacTavish (SAS), and Seargant Jackson (US)
-"To say Modern Warfare's visual fidelity is immediately apparent would be a criminal understatement. Torrid rainfall, rolling thunder crackling lightning, and marvelously detailed textures and character models all combine to make you say "Whoa"."
-CoD4 does everything right and nearly nothing wrong. But where it elevates itself above even the best 360 shooters is how all of the good stuf is ludicrously good. The campaign never lets up, while the multiplayer is a AAA affair in itself. This swing for the fences has belted CoD4 way out of the park.

What you all wanted to know
Overkill Perk: You can carry 2 primary weapons instead of 1 and a pistol. e.g I could go into a battle with an MP5 and a M16.

+ and -
+Awesome Moments on literally every mission.
+Multiplayer quality, quantity and depth that rivals Halo's.
-A few frustratingly tough areas on the higher difficulty levels.
It also mentioned that the game kept a good pace throughout the game (most games fizz out later on)

Captions from Review
The visuals look better in motion.
In the moste tense moment in the game's best level (All Ghillied Up), all you can do is wait and pray. (It shows a pic of you prone with enemies 5-10 feet away)
Fire? Chaos? Guns blazing? Does it look like Call of Duty now?
Smash people like ants in the AC-130 gunship level.
A whopping 16 multiplayer maps await you out of the box.

Article: 13 playlists, unlocked as you rank up
60 FPS- as if u didn't know already
World War II is history! With a reinvigorated developer at the helm, Call of Duty 4 reinvents a franchise - and damn near perfects the military shooter in the process.

Can it run on my ZX81?

leowyatt · 17-10-2007, 14:08

erm

sadly not

Ooh didn't realise how soon till it comes out. How tempting. I'm sure I was meant to be being sensible with money though

leowyatt · 17-10-2007, 14:16

November 9th

Haly · 17-10-2007, 14:22

Hmmm, might have to trade some stuff in. It'll appease my conscience

leowyatt · 17-10-2007, 14:26

I'm going to trade in some old GC games to see how much I can get towards it. As I've said to Davey the 1 game I'm definitely going to buy, the rest I can rent

Haly · 17-10-2007, 14:29

I'm a bit rubbish at narrowing it down to one game

leowyatt · 17-10-2007, 14:31

well the rest I can wait for on rentals. Don't have very much money at the moment, but if I can scrape together £15 or so I can probably get the game

then it'll keep me occupied for ages.
