Ranting Canuck

On Friday I finished Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Friday for the PC. It was pretty decent game the graphics are amazing and the sound is pretty good. The weapon sounds effects are pretty decent unlike in Halo 3. The control in Call of Duty 4 really makes the game standout they are very tight and crisp for the most part.

Unlike the previous three Call of Duty games the fourth in the series is based in present, the previous three where based in World War II. This is a nice change of pace in the series that I thought was very long over due. I understand Call of Duty 5 is again based in World War II but in the Pacific Theatre rather then Europe.

I have two main complaints about Call of Duty 4, the being the single player is extremely short. I played through it in maybe 5 hours and there is very little replay value. The multiplayer / online is supposed to be excellent but I don’t play games online. My other compliant is that it has a freight train ending, you are in the middle of a firefight and the game just ends.

All in all a very good game and well worth renting, for Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, it is so short I would not recommend anyone buys it unless you really like playing online.

Here is the Zero Punctuation Review of it.
