This is not a revolution of game controls. If you played the original Call of Duty or its sequel, then you will have little trouble hopping into COD4. There are a few too many shell-shocked slow-mo moments that seem to drag to the point of almost being frustrating, but credit Infinity Ward for not backing down from wartime melodrama. You may find yourself in disbelief not only at some of the events that take place, but in the direct manner in which the most startling moments are often told. Of course, no good guys die in war, right? There aren't so much "twists" as there are shocking moments in the storyline. And more importantly, IW finds ways to make you care for every last one of your teammates. While the story itself-which revolves around stolen Russian nukes and Mid-Eastern terrorists bent on destroying the Great Satan (that's you and your grandma)-isn't exactly cutting edge, it's enjoyable. Marines, each leap continues the progression of a single storyline. Though you will hop between perspectives of the British S.A.S. Unlike Infinity Ward's previous iterations of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare tells one contiguous story. With an astonishing number of enemies in the field (half of whom seem to carry rocket launchers), you are going to need every last bit of modern tech to survive. You'll man the weapons of the AC-130 Gunship, which flies above the battlefield and fires 105mm rounds that decimate the enemy make big explosions with Javelin missiles, which drop straight down to hit the thinner top armor of tanks and cycle through a small arsenal of both light and heavy guns featuring a variety of scopes and augmentations. Many of the incredible tools of war used today come into play in COD4. The meticulous care IW took to faithfully recreate WWII-era weaponry was also given to bringing modern armaments to life. There is a new standard to judge this sub-genre and it is Call of Duty 4. Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and every other military-based shooter has been put on notice. So it was quite a gamble to break from the comfort zone of Nazi-occupied Europe and leap into present day. The company has become synonymous with the virtual beach at Normandy. Infinity Ward was born out of the success of retelling some of the greatest battles in World War II.
