Video Game Reviews of Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareCustomer Review: One of the Best FPS Ever Summary: 4 StarsAs a gamer, I tend to rate the state of the video game industry by the quality of First Person Shooter games, both PC and PS II. FPS is my favorite type of video game.
With the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, I feel as though the video game industry is in fine shape. This game delivers highly detailed and realistic game play with amazing graphics and extremely true to life sound.
Technically, the game seems to have few glitches, although I recommend a robust video card with good ventilation in your system. The state of the art graphics are demanding on your video card. I've also found that the game is stable as long as the default "optimal" settings are used in your profile in the game setup. For example, the default "optimal" settings option sets the video display at 800x600 with a refresh rate of 60 Mhz. When I tried to adjust the display settings to match my 1280x1024 monitor I experienced crashes during game play. However, when set to the default "optimal" setting, the game is stable, and the aspect ratio appears fine on my larger monitor.
Those issues aside, this is a great, fun game, with just the right pacing and level of difficulty through a variety of modern combat scenarios. Although the game does not have full "save at any point capability, the spontaneous healing capability from enemy fire eliminates the annoying need to constantly pick up health packs. This goes a long way toward balancing the lack of save progress control.
Lastly, this game does have a limited number of levels, and I am awaiting the new release of Call of Duty: World at War. I wish though, that Activision would release an expansion pack for this game instead of a whole new game. While they have published a few new maps for the online/multi player version recently, this is not really a full expansion, so the game remains relatively short at four levels. In the final analysis though, the quality of play and amazing graphics in this game make this one of the best video games to date, and I highly recommend.
Thanks,
Allen
