Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or CoD4 was one of the best shooters to ever come out on the 360 in my opinion. A first person shooter of truly epic proportions, Infinity Ward made a great leap in the CoD universe by introducing the first game to leave the World War 2 timezone. The game offers a diverse array of tactical situations and shooter scenarios. From covert ops aboard a cargo ship to sniping a target from a mile away to piloting a massive gunship, CoD4 does not disappoint.
Alternating between the British SAS and United States Marines gives the player alternate characters and missions and different equipment to keep things interesting. There are very few glitches and the game play is smooth and engaging. The one flaw that has plagued the whole series is the re-spawn rate. Enemies that are killed don’t stay dead. They continue to run in from every direction. Only once the player crosses an invisible line in each scenario will they stop. They game forces you to keep moving, which I suppose is only fair to prevent people from camping a mile off and never getting in harms way. The problem is, for a game that claims covert op missions and stealth elements, you can’t really sneak around when you’re forced to run head long through a group of terrorists in order to stop their multiplication.
In addition to an intriguing storyline the game sported one of the best multiplayer games for the XBox Live. With over a dozen different missions types ranging from 3 on 3 tactical matches to 9 on 9 super team death matches, CoD4 leaves room in between for all types of gamers. There are no official clans (teams) online, but there is a spot for a clan tag. This gives players a feeling of solidarity with their players when they face off online. If you’re ever in the neighborhood and you’re feeling up for a challenge, my gamertag is Zhoungguo and I guarantee that myself and the (oRLY) clan will show you how it’s done.
So if you want to shake up your boring shooter collection, pick up CoD4 and be looking for the highly anticipated sequel this November.

I was straight up addicted to this game over winter break last year. When it was too cold or snowy to drive across town, I’d nerd out and play multiplayer. So good that I almost wish I didn’t sell my 360.
