Call of Duty 4 overall is a decent game. It brings us to modern day warfare in the Middle East and demonstrates new weapons with authentically recorded audio of each different gun type and new maps. The online experience offers games such as Team Deathmatch, Domination, Search and Destroy, Headquarters and other new games. Unlike the other Call of Duty video games, the storyline is not about World War II and the weapons are all modern style weapons instead of the original World War II weapons. I think they should have released Call of Duty – World at War before Call of Duty- Modern Day Warfare. This way, the chronological story of World War II would have been leading up to the modern warfare.

Some Differences to older versions of Call Of Duty
With a lot of new perks, gun attachments but no vehicles on multiplayer, this game requires some but not all of the same tactics as Call of Duty 3 but in a much better graphic environment. You need to slightly adjust your skillz in order to play this game well if you were good at COD3.

Another difference is that in this game, instead of using your guns and fists for melee close range attack, you use a knife. In single player, if the dogs pounce on you (like Carnival) you will be forced to time your knife attacks on them. One problem with single player mode in this game is that there should be a few more checkpoints as it is frustrating to restart an entire level so far back. .

GIFTED GAMER RECOMMENDATION
This game is rated M, but other than a little language in the single player mode (and certainly more than your share of frustrated online gamers in multiplayer) it really should be like E10+ since people are shooting each other, and 5 year olds should not try this at home. But there are a decent amount of tweens/teens online and some are better than the adults trying to play this game. There are a fair share of adults online as well. Overall I think this game is fun and the online version stands the test of time. This is not the type of game to rent, you will want to own it for constant access to the online multiplayer version. I rate this game 8.5 out of 10.
