GameDaily Review
by Steven Wong on Wednesday, November 07, 2007

The Call of Duty series grows out of the World War II era and leaps into 21st century combat in Modern Warfare. Like previous CoD games, players take the roles of different characters fighting on different fronts alongside a squad of computer-controlled teammates. Except this time, players fight the War on Terror, and perspectives bounce back and forth from the Middle East to Russia.

Modern Warfare follows the stories of a British Special Air Services (S.A.S.) soldier battling through Russia and an American Recon soldier fighting in the Middle East. Both plotlines lead up to capturing a Russian ultranationalist named Imran Zakhaev and his lieutenants, known as the Four Horsemen, before they start ruining the landscape with nuclear weapons. Players get tossed into one heart-pounding scenario after another, whether it includes fending off an attack in a narrow Middle Eastern street or crawling through open fields in hopes of avoiding detection.

Overview for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare focuses on the progression of warfare as a contemporary infantry soldier, presenting the player with a vast number of different combat scenarios unseen in previous Call of Duty titles. It strays from the constant assaults, interspersing high-intensity firefights with slower-paced drama and suspenseful clandestine action. The series's move to modern warfare introduces a variety of new weapons and technology to the Call of Duty franchise, including the M203 grenade launcher, M4A1 carbine, the AN/PEQ-2 Target Pointer for use in conjunction with night vision goggles, the MP5SD submachine gun, and the FGM-148 Javelin portable anti-tank guided missile.

The game moves away from the prior three country-specific campaign style; the plot remains cinematic, with storylines interlaced from the perspective of members of the British Special Air Service and United States Marine Corps Force Recon.
