(continued from previous page) ...hours, if not more. Once you’ve beaten the game, be sure to stay around for after the credits, as there is an Epilogue taking place on what looks to be Air Force One. Also, once you’ve completed the game for your first time, new modes such as Arcade and Cheats will be available. If you decide to play through Arcade mode, this could add another 8-10 hours to your game time as you’ll gather points for an accumulative high score at the end of each level. Either way, Call of Duty 4’s single player campaign is more than satisfactory for a first person shooter and if you get bored there is always multiplayer.
Now when gamers think first person shooter multiplayer, they usually think of generic death match, team death match, and the occasional CTF game modes. However, in this case, Call of Duty 4 breaks outside the box and goes leaps and bounds to offer one of the most in-depth online modes available. With a total of 12 different match types, over 16 multiplayer maps, hundreds of unlockable objectives, and the ability to create custom gear packages, Call of Duty 4 could easily be named the best online game of the year. The only let down however, was at the time of this writing, Infinity Ward was having problems with their servers and being disconnected from games happened quite often.
Another great feature found in Call of Duty 4 has to be the “Perks” system. This mechanic allows you to choose special abilities for your online character. As you level up new abilities or specific ammo will be unlocked. There are three different perk sets each with their own skills. For example choices for Perk 1 include; C4 charges, Claymores, and RPG-7 rockets. As for the other two perk sets, choices include things such as “Stopping Power” which increases bullet damage and “Eavesdrop” which allows you to listen in to enemy voice chat. This new feature adds even more replay value to Call of Duty 4’s multiplayer and helps provide even more customization to your character.
The match types that are offered include; Free-For-All, Team Death match, Ground War, Team Objective, Team Tactical, Search and Destroy, Headquarters, Domination, Sabotage, Team Hardcore, Old School, and Oldcore. Now if you are interested in the maps available, they include; Ambush, Blacklot, Bloc, Bog, Countdown, Crash, Crossfire, District, Downpour, Overgrown, Pipeline, Shipment, Strike, Showdown, Vacant and Wet Work. Plenty of options to keep the online user busy for months to come.
Looking for a title to show off for its graphics and smooth gameplay? Call of Duty 4 has it all. Running at a solid 60fps, Infinity Ward has done an amazing job at bringing both stunning visuals and life like animation together on the PlayStation 3. Even in the heat of battle when everything around you is exploding and bullets are whistling from every direction, the framerate still remains smooth. Everything from the shadows and lighting in the environments to the particle effects of the grenades and textures on the character models, Call of Duty 4 is by far one of the best looking titles on the PS3.
In terms of controls, first person shooter fans should have no problems here. Fitted to be both familiar, yet unique to the style of gameplay, players will find the button layout nicely synched to what should feel comfortable in a FPS. Even the controls in multiplayer for when using airstrikes and calling in ally helicopters works perfectly as its set to the D-pad and not in the way of your general button scheme.
To finish things up, I’ll talk about the music and sound effects found in the Call of Duty 4 title. If you have played past Call of Duty games you known one of the best things about them is that the sound alone makes the weapons feel real, and the musical score helps bring the mood together. Whether it’s an intense scene of rushing water spilling into a hewn barge, or the subtle ambience of the trees and wavering grass, the sound effects in Call of Duty 4 add that extra oomph to make your total ...

unbelievable game love it (1st post)why do psu take forever 2 release their reviews?
wow defintely a blockbuster hit. overall I give a 9.5 as well a must have in any PS3 library. Multiplayer keeps me up all night!!
best fps ever. / i think it might take them longer cuz they actually play thru the game b4 reviewing it
I loved this FPS its the best one I have played on a console in a long time. Save Red Faction and Killzone
Great game but way too short and for that reason I give it a 9.
Awesome Game, 10/10 easy but this review, no offence, is bad - You have given away major plot turns and twists, I want a review not a step by step guide to what goes on in each level. Anyone who has not played this has just had the game ruined
In general all across the board, this game is going to be a big hit through this year.
ive got cod1 cod2 cod3 and cod4, albeit 3 of the 4 are on pc and cod4 is a blast, best game ever on pc.
theee BEST GAME EVER!!!

leeman99...looks the same to me, as does assassins creed. This is getting annoying, I thought the Cell was supposed to be able to have better physics, it looks like it is compensating for the RSX and keeping up with the Xenon, but will it pull ahead?
This game is a perfect Ten, I bought alot of other games but haven't played them yet cause i can't put it down.
um i dont know wat u guys r smokin but i only give this game a 8.0 mayb 7.5 the online is intense but boring after a while and all you do is run around in the same levels it seems like theres only 4 levels in the game id rather play WARHAWK
How does this reviewer get stuff so wrong? He says the prologue mission "crew expendable" was set 15 years before the events of the regular missions. That is not true. The only mission set 15 years in the past is the "ghillie suit" mission in which you play as a young Leftenant Price.
YO this game is wack, they LIED
They said it will have RUMBLE installed in the GAME, THAT IS BULLSH**
i have a rumble sixaxis, it works will all PS3 games, and UNCHARTED. This game does not support RUMBLE. STOP LYING or make it rumble in a patch today, or your A PHONY, a big fat PHONY!!!!
looks like a great game
I'm gonna buy this game too. Is it Modern Warefare or Warfare?
yep no question the best FPS shooter i have ever played, and they are kidna all i play so i have alot to compare it to. the only problem i have with the game is that since i got it i have not been gettin much sleep :)
great game...nuff said
still havent played this one.
might just grab it for a few weeks whrough gamefly.
I don't like the fact that I can't choose in which lobby enter. For example italian lobby, german lobby english lobby...as it was for socom 3!
ANYWAYS GREAT GREAT GAME IT'S REALLY KEEPING ME GLUED TO MY PS3!
why does psu take forever to rate games
I dont understand why this looks like crap on standerd tv it has to because those screens look amazing compared to what iam playing...
My review is better lol!
And yes this game looks awful in SD...
Terrible game...I can't say i EVER thought I would play a tactical squad shooter again where you have to stand in the middle of a doorway to throw in a flashbang rather than stand against the wall and blind throw it in (a la rainbow six)...plus the whole "no cover system" and the fact that you can watch yoru squad shoot the hinges off a door and kick it in but you barely make a dent in it...
All in all, a terrible game...looks pretty but plays ike something from the N64 era...
Incredible game, only problem is that the single player is too short, but online playing makes up for it! 10/10
I'm a big fan of RFoM and now I have another big fps to play on my ps3. to compare them both? yeah, I admit that CoD4 is better! the only thing is, I played both in SD! but still, the games look good! anyway, this is a must have and simply the best FPS ever eventhough it's quite short! looking forward for CoD5
Brilliant, brilliant game. Terrible, terrible review. Plot spoilers and incorrect info on some other plot points.

bought the ps3 for this....best 500.00 bucks ever spent
This game exceeds well past any FPS game I have ever played for a television console. I have the game for PS3 and I must say that it is never on the shelf with all the other games because I am always playing it. The strong point of this game is the multiplayer. It has a great split screen mode with many maps and weapon classesn to choose from; but the true strength is the online play. If you have the game for XBox but you don't have Live, this game is worth spending money to play online. With all the unlockable features and the multiple game modes; Call of Duty 4 is one of the best online multiplayer games I have ever played. The single player campaign is short and sweet but the multiplayer is where the games strength is.
erice blattberg is the MAN JUSTIN PINTER AINT GOT NOTHIN ON MA MAN BLATTBERG...BLATTGERG YOU FU*KIN ROCK!!!
This game is freakin awsome......i heard dat the 360 version got all the better stuff tho.....WTF i thought the ps3 was gonna have better graphics....
to all the ppl here wit 360 get the F**k out of hea
Not only is this the best shooter game I ever played, this is easily the best game on the ps3 by far, if you are an onliner! Even the single player doesn't seem too bad, although I rarely played any single player as all the action is online! This game is a must for all ps3 owners. I give it a 9.5! I was an original Socom junkie from the ps2, and call of duty has me back into it the way the 1st socom hooked me before all the cheatin started! I luv the perks, and I like the fact that you can watch your death from the perspective of your killer, so hangin in 1 spot too long is tough to do unless you aint killin no one! Great game!
