Call of Duty 4 is one of the intense first person shooter games in this gen. You have two roles in the game. You start of as a new S.A.S soldier named Soap MacTavish and you will have to go through the tutorial mission which is on a cargo ship. You also take the role as Paul Jackson in the US Marine Corps. You will be dong missions in different locations like the mountains in Russia to the deserts of the Middle East. It seems that a terrorist group has gotten their hands on a couple of nukes and you have to stop them. The missions are simple, find someone, or secure an area and other missions.
When you are Soap with the S.A.S, most of the missions are stealthy and strategic. Your group would always be a small group of soldiers and handle the enemies quietly if possible. You will usually be armed with a SMG or assault rifle with a silencer. Sometimes you will be a sniper and have to take out the sentries. One false move and your cover will be blown. The enemies will be upon you and it will be a challenge to get yourself out of the situation.
When your with Jackson in the US Marines, things are little different. You will usually be in a bigger group fighting big groups of enemies in pure daylight. These batles will be more intense but harder. Most of the enemies will be armed with AK-47s and RPGs which you will have to duck from.
There are a variety of missions in the single player campaign. There will be stealth missions, conquest missions, assassination and escape missions. In one mission you will operate a AC-130 gunship and in another you will operate the gun on a helicopter. In one you will have to chase someone and in another you will have to storm buildings to find someone.
Your weapons will be the usual weapons you see the soldiers using but you can pick up other weapons from dead enemies. You will also be armed with frag grenades and flashbangs or smoke grenades. In some missions you will also have claymores and C4s. In others you might have the ability to call in a helicopter or an airstrike.
When you take too much damage you're screen will get a red border or bloody border and you will have to find cover and recover.
The single player campaign is a little short and you can finish the game twice in two days. But the multiplayer will give you unlimited hours of more intense combat with a awesome rank systems, customizable weapons and cool perks.
Overall Call of Duty 4 is a good shooter with intense gameplay, nice visuals and a awesome multiplayer. Though the single player campaign is short, this game is an awesome add on for your first person shooter collection.
A 9 out of 10.
