About Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare differs from previous installments of the Call of Duty series. Previous Call of Duty games have a distinct three country-specific campaign style, while Call of Duty 4 has a more film-like plot with interlaced story lines from the perspectives of Sgt. Paul Jackson of the Marines 1st Force Recon and Sgt. 'Soap' MacTavish of the British 22nd SAS Regiment.

People keep ranking it this high like nothing has moved forward since 2007... the scripted setpieces were great once, sure, but calling it top tier today feels…

    People keep ranking it this high like nothing has moved forward since 2007... the scripted setpieces were great once, sure, but calling it top tier today feels like nostalgia doing all the talking

    Ce 108e rang me paraît franchement gonflé. La campagne se joue en quelques heures et on l'oublie presque aussitôt fini, il n'y a pas grand chose qui reste après le générique. Le multi a fait sa réputation à l'époque mais aujourd'hui ça ne sert plus vraiment à juger un classement pareil. Je pense qu'on vote surtout par habitude ici, plus que par conviction réelle.

    J'y ai rejoué par sessions courtes récemment, une mission par-ci par-là, et ça passe encore très bien... le rythme est fait pour ça en fait.

    pero el multi salvaba todo, no?

    People vote out of habit maybe, but I still fire it up now and then and it still grips me, biased or not

    Same setup here, one controller, arguing over turns, campaign had us both just staring at the screen

    jugué la campaña hace tiempo, no soy mucho de fps pero esta me enganchó bastante, aun así no la pondría tan alta como otros aquí parecen creer

  4. Gamboa25

    Tiene un ritmo raro, unas misiones brillantes y otras que se olvidan rápido, no sé bien qué pensar del conjunto la verdad.

    Résumé en une phrase, franchement.

  5. ÁngelesSamurai

    Lo jugué en casa de un primo un verano entero, turnándonos con el mando cada dos misiones. La historia se sentía enorme para lo corta que era en realidad.

    TurboBard

    et bah moi j'ai jamais compris cette nostalgie d'été de camp, la campagne était courte et ça se sentait déjà à l'époque
