We go classic with Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.

There are a lot of first person shooter games on the market and very few of them have managed to capture the hearts of gamers. Today we revisit a classic, that every hardcore gamer needs to have in their collection. Ladies and gentleman I give you Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.

Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare was released back in 2007, the gameplay takes place in 2011 when a rebel leader kills a president of a unknown middle eastern country and a ultra-nationalist movement starts a war in Russia. You take on the role of various characters from the U.S Force Reconnaissance Marine and the British SAS commandos and during the gameplay the two special forces missions run simultaneously.

 

I am sure by now that you have guessed that there are terrorists involved and not forgetting the weapons of mass destruction. Without giving the plot away, there's more to the game then terrorists and nuclear weapons, since the two special forces storyline runs simultaneously you will realize that there's more to the plot. As always you have more than just your gun to help you out, in some missions  you can call for air strikes and attack helicopters to help you out.

Keep in mind that this game was released in 2007, the graphics aren't that bad and most game reviews said that the guys from Infinity Ward the developers of this game didn't bring anything new to the first person shooter series. Its the little things that stand out for me. Your interaction with the surrounds should be as realistic as when a bullet hits you, and with this game you get that. If you take cover behind a car and the enemy is firing at you, the car will explode and kill you. Most first person do not have this element.

The gameplay and controls are easy to grasp as there is a training session at the beginning of the game. This game is the first installment in the trilogy and if your a hardcore gamer you need to add this one to your collection. There's a really cool surprise at the end of the game. This game retails for less than R200 and is available across all platforms.
