Two years of Call of Duty 4

This game has sat in my Xbox much more than any other game I have ever owned. It came out two years ago to this month and thousands of people still log on every night to play. Very rarely will you ever see the same person twice in one room once he/she has left yours.

Online multiplayer for Call of Duty 4 is said to have the best online play over any other game. Unless you’re a Halo 3 players, then you more than likely think Halo 3 is better. Sorry, but you’re wrong (just saying). The matchmaking is much faster than most, but still lacks a true skill system. Meaning, you can be a noob on the game and be playing against someone like myself who has played from day one. A game can range anything from Team Death Match to Search and Destroy on a series of 19 maps. Gamers can adapt this game to their own style, whether you are considered a camper, rusher, or middle man. Sadly, the online environment is where some of the flaws come from, however not on developers side. Many users of the game apparently lack skill and decide to cheat. They modify controllers, use lag switches, and some even set up an aim bot. This caused an outrage all over the online multiplayer world and subsequently almost led to its crash. The battle between developers and hacker still wages on and has moved onto many different fronts (aka games).

The campaign is much like the first three Call of Duties with an epic twist, IT WAS MODERNIZED! That’s right, this game uses current weaponry, current vehicles, and some of the most up to date tactical styles. This epic game, is set in modern day middle east and modern day Russia. A mission even takes place in Priyay, Ukraine where the Chernobyl disaster took place. You can search pictures and video on the Internet to see how strongly it influenced this mission/map. It truly looks identical to the actually site.

I expect many people to keep their COD4 games once Modern Warfare 2 comes out due to it having such a huge impact in the online world.  If not, I would hope for a respectable funeral. R.I.P.  COD4
