So Call of Duty 4. Let's start with the performance side first. Everything will be based from PC Version.
Graphics:
(PC)
When everything is turned up to the max. The graphics look amazingly good. It's not crysis level, but still really good.
Even if you don't have a high end system, there are plenty of options within the game that will make it runable. Usually putting a low resolution but with most settings on high gives a good end result.
(XBOX360)
I Don't know too much about 360. But after having a quick test on my friends 360. It seems that the graphics are also top notch. When you play on a 40inch screen in 1080p with a 60+ fps then you know something is right.
AI:
The AI in CoD4, is alright. Nothing special or new. The AI uses alot of cover instead of just standing in the open. And when you are on hardened or veteran settings, they tend to use alot more grenades, which certainly keeps you on your toes.
Sound:
As good as anything out now. The musical numbers are all spot-on, and the dialogue and combat chatter is phenomenal. Top notch all the way around - no "forced" sounding acting here. This games sounds like it was recorded during actual combat.
Now onto the gameplay:
Singleplayer:
I'll say this confidentaly. CoD4 has had one of the best storylines in an FPS that ive seen for a long time. I have played it myself over 3 times and the story always keeps me gripped.
However to some it can seem a bit short. As you can play through the entire game in rougly 6H if you know what to do. But i don't think it matters as its so much fun. And if you beat it, then you can always challenge yourself on Arcade Mode.
Unlike halo, there is no co-op mode though. Guess we might have to wait for the next CoD for Co-op.
Multiplayer:
For me the multiplayer is as good or better as Halo 3 or RB6. There are plenty of gamemodes to choose from so thats always fun to check out.
You can also choose preset classes *
Like Battlefield Games* But as you become better and level up then you can create your own classes, with its own unique weapons and abilities.
However there is still some work that can be done to multiplayer mode such as:
-Ability to choose which map you join in ranked matches.
-Better team balancing
-Throwing grenade cooldown (As people have a tendancy to nag about the grenade spam that can appear, but hey thats life
)
Overall:
A definate 5/5 from me. If you are an FPS fan then this is a 'MUST BUY'.
