The official Xbox 360 magazine (us) has given us the first magazine review for Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. Thankfully its a good one with a 10/10 score.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
Call of Duty 4 was going to be my first Call of Duty game. Thankfully, it is the best COD. Thanks Infinity Ward =)
Hail to the king baby, this game will be the best FPS this hollyday.
No need to bash Haze but this is a bigger game for the ps3 and 360
How many multiplayer maps at launch? The Beta was great but crash was the only map I enjoyed. Overgrown I hated and (I forgot its name) got old fast.
Just WOW! Really looking forward to this sh*t!
I really liked this part:
The visuals look better in motion.
In the moste tense moment in the game's best level (All Ghillied Up), all you can do is wait and pray. (It shows a pic of you prone with enemies 5-10 feet away)
Fire? Chaos? Guns blazing? Does it look like Call of Duty now?
Smash people like ants in the AC-130 gunship level.
A whopping 16 multiplayer maps await you out of the box.

60 FPS- as if u didn't know already
World War II is history! With a reinvigorated developer at the helm, Call of Duty 4 reinvents a franchise - and damn near perfects the military shooter in the process.
to play this game on my ps3! I would buy it for my 360, but I've given up on Live sadly, costs way too much for my taste :(
But yer so many good games this year! I'm going to use that extra hundred to actually buy this game! So excited! :D
