Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Platinum) reviews

A fantastic shooter game with lots of explosions and action all the way through, brilliant fun. The highlight of it is the amazing online play were you can earn medal, advance in ranks, get new guns and customise them as you want. a must have for all serious gamers! The only, and i mean ONLY downpoint is that your allies can sometimes get in the way of you.

After playing modern warfare 2 & 3 and loving them I had to buy this one to see where it all started. These games are a must own. If you haven't played them buy them all.

Great game

Call of Duty 4 is the greatest additon to the Call of Duty franchise. It set the standards for multiplayer first person shooters back in 2007 on the next-generation consoles. Surprisingly, Call of Duty 4 has not been surpassed by other games in the genre and even by new additions to the franchise. The only minus is the lack of local search functionalities on the PlayStation 3 version so you will spend a bit of time searching for Kiwi or Australian hosted matches. But as unfortunate as it is, the number of players on this game is minimal as they're wasting their time playing the new Call of Duty games which contain so many fundamental flaws and issues with mechanics and connection.

The original MW and the game I believe was the original to the psycho online multiplayer war genre. Cant beat a classic and still great graphics and gameplay. Got the whole set so im hooked!

Secound best Call of Duty to date, The only thing that lets it down are people modifing it.

The call of duty franchise sets the bar for FPS games, COD4 is where it truely started; no game comes close to these amazing multiplayer maps, the graphics are visually stunning and the gameplay is second to none. MW2 and Black ops are great games, but their greatness had to come from somewhere, in this case it is the teacher that is better than the student, and COD 4 is an amazing teacher.

The graphics in this game are amazing. It didn't glitch or lag once when i was playing. It is very much like the next one “Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” in terms of gameplay and shortness of the story. I finished the offline play in 4 days. You have really fun missions where your using the helicopter machine gun and shooting down vehicle on the back of a ute. :) I played the online once and I found it EXTREMELY hard. Because of the huge price I sagest owning the game if you are going to play online and only hire from the video story if you are going to play offline.

Despite the fact that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming out at the end of this year, I urge lovers of First Person Shooters to buy this game.

Not only does it have a fantastic scripted story, but the multiplayer is truly spectacular and will constantly have you coming back again and again and again.

Definitely value for money

Online is heaps of fun, highly additive, havent played the offline part yet. Graphics are great, sound is good, best shooter for ps3 ive found so far. If you see me online add me Frosttat2

awsome game best online game i have played

Exceptional game on single player, never had so much fun and played a single player game so much.

My opinion, greatest game ever in that aspect.

As for online, well, just search and you will find 1000s of forums topics full of problems, errors etc, I myself have never had any problems but if you plan on buying this game for online play then make sure you have plenty of aussie and nz people with it on your friends list otherwise you will never find a lag free game.

When you do find a lag free game though you will be impressed, I havent been as addicted to a game since Socom 2 and beleive me all the searching through laggy games is worth it when you find a good one.

4 Stars seen as other people seem to be having problems online, but from my experience it would have to be a 6 Star game!!!

One of the first mutli platform games that the developers were not cheap and lasy, looks just as good on ps3 as 360 maybe i would go as a far as saying it does look just that little bit better ! It shows developers are just starting to unlock all that power under the hood! Great FPS good mutli player aswell! Must buy for xmas.

If you like FPS this game is made for you. COD 4 is one of the best games out this year if not the best. The campain can be played through many tiumes with so much to do and every time is just as intence as the next. It is worth every cent that you pay for this game. If you have online play then you are in for the biggest present this side of christmas. The online play is in one word amazing. It is made so well that you really feel that you are accomplishing something ever time you play, because there is so much to do. With all the unlockables and leveling up to get new guns and attachments what is not to like. The visulas in this game are top notch.Finaly it looks like the PS#s hardware is starting to get really used by a game which is great. If you are looking for the first truly great FPS for the PS3 here it is and let all furture FPS games be judged on this one.

An awesome game! I am unable to find anything that's not great in this title. I have played alot of combat shooters/sims and this is the best hands down since Rainbow 6 way back in 98'. I don't regret paying for this in anyway!

Graphics – 9/10 Sound – 10/10 Game play – 10/10 Presentation 10/10

Seeing is believing....­......this is a must have for fans of this genre..........

This game has some of the most intense battles I've ever played in any war game, graphics are fantastic.

Multiplayer is great with a local host not so great with international hosts, I'm hoping there will be a patch for some of these minor teething problems

This is an awesome FPS, it surpasses COD3 in all aspects minus one. The game is surprisingly short, I finished the single player campaign in about 4 hours on Normal difficulty. Luckily it has an arcade mode that allows you to replay missions and get scored on it (similar to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory) so that may extend its life somewhat.

One feature that you will immediately notice missing is the SIXAXIS control, unlike COD3 which had numerous uses for the motion control COD4 has totally abandoned it.

Loading times are relatively short for a next-gen game and checkpoints are located throughout levels (and the game saves at the checkpoints so you can exit and resume at the last checkpoint you reached) and the reload time after dying is only a few seconds… probably why I managed to finish so quickly!

Despite all that, its still amazing and well worth the money. The initial learning curve is quite short, graphics and sound are beautiful and the AI system is great. Being a squad based FPS the AI was always going to be the main focus point and although they aren't as interesting as in Jericho where you can switch between them, I don't think your team-mates can be killed but they aren't idiots that stand on the spot getting their ass shot up, they're quite useful in providing suppressing fire.
