GameDaily Review: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Playstation 3
by Robert Workman on Monday, November 05, 2007

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare shies away from the World War II era and goes with more modern-day combat. The result is a pulse-pounding frag fest that stands out as one of the best military shooters ever made.

Modern Warfare opens with a brief training mission, with 22nd SAS Regiment member Captain Price guiding your opening character, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish, as he goes right into action, heading out to infiltrate a cargo ship. Upon picking up important data, enemy jets swoop in with an attack, forcing you, Price and the rest of your platoon to scramble off the ship while water seeps in and fires explode all around you. This is merely the beginning of the ride, so soak it in. What's fascinating, however, is what follows. Rather than tell the gist of the story through boring subtext, developer Infinity Ward goes with a more visceral approach, showing us through a first-person perspective. It shows the fate of a foreign leader, as rebels throw him into a car. You ride in this vehicle for several minutes and finally arrive at your destination, where soldiers tie you to a pole and introduce you to Al-Asad, a man trying to instigate a revolution. He doesn't say much, however, and simply walks over and shoots you, ending the scene. It's a powerful start, and the game only picks up in intensity from there....

Multiplayer - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

The multiplayer mode in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare includes a character class system that allows players to create custom infantry classes with numerous weapons and perks (special equipment or abilities) to assign to their soldier.

The player can call in UAV reconnaissance scans, air strikes, and attack helicopters by achieving a three-, five-, or seven-enemy kill streak, respectively.

The five default classes include Assault, Special Ops, Heavy Gunner, Demolitions, and Sniper.
