Modern Warfare: The story so far (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

10/11/2009

Like most of you, we plowed through Call of Duty 4’s single-player campaign in a day and then spent the next couple of years blasting away at multiplayer. It’s not that the campaign was horrible, far from it. The first Modern Warfare employed innovative techniques that pushed the boundaries of interactive storytelling. ...

Technically, that's not correct... (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

25/08/2009

Game developers are wrong about 90% of everything 83% of the time. I know, because I’m a super-expert on facts. My dad invented facts. So hold on to your sugary carbonated bevorage, uncross your legs and take your left hand off your face, because I'm about to drop a straight-up 10-megaton truth bomb on this bitch. All the subjective bullshit and “artistic license” that game designers cower behind is polluting the hard facts... ...

Five rules for introducing your girlfriend to gaming (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

15/04/2009

I’m not a miserable sexist ass; I’m just a practical observer. One thing I’ve observed is that men and women are different (I figured that one out pretty early on). Since I’m a rational person, I’m aware that nothing is entirely one way or another. Even the divide between life and death is ambiguous (uh, zombies, amirite?). ...

100 reasons fanboys hate shooters (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

25/03/2009

Cue the banjo! It wouldn’t be the Week of Hate without our trademark “100 Reasons” videos. In case you missed it, last year we targeted game platforms. So this year we thought we’d change it up and go after a few popular genres. Up first, the ubiquitous shooter. ...

The Top 7... games that should've had co-op (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

2/02/2009

Some games simply must have cooperative play. Gears of War, for example, was clearly designed with a co-op experience in mind – there are two main characters on the same mission with the same abilities with a strong personal bond. Blasting through the story with a friend lets you partake in that bond, which is a much more powerful experience than plain ol’ deathmatch or CTF. ...

CoD 4 impossible to improve upon? We're not so sure. Here's what we want in Infinity Ward's new one. ...

2008 sucked compared to 2007 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

12/12/2008

December is always good for a fight. We award our favorite games, mock our least favorites and shout at anybody whose opinion differs from our own. The one thing we can usually all agree on, however, is that gaming has progressed. Gaming has evolved. Right? Not this year. ...

Is Call of Duty: World at War better than Call of Duty 4? (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

14/11/2008

Which Call of Duty reigns supreme? Modern Warfare or World at War? Master debaters Charlie Barratt and Chris Antista are picking their trenches and laying it all on the line to help you decide. Using a refined mix of gentlemanly discourse and juvenile name calling, these two brave editors will navigate a minefield of topics and controversies. ...

Never lose at COD4 Free for All again! (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

22/07/2008

Campers lose. Campers are losers. Campers should be shot. Snipers are babies. Snipers aren’t good enough to mix it up with the big boys. Snipers should be shot. Running and gunning – sprinting around, living by your wits, relying on your reactions and turning, moving, gliding, weaving and doubling back - is the way a gentleman wins. ...

Call of Duty 4: Fastest airstrike ever (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

7/05/2008

Want to call in air support in under 10 seconds? Want to level up your character in the least amount of time? You don’t need to bother with lame aim bots that’ll get you banned from your favorite servers. In fact, you don’t even need to be that good at Call of Duty 4. Racking up ridiculous kill streaks can be easy if you’re playing under the right conditions. Head to the server “=OG= 24/7 Shipment ...

Call of Duty 4: DownloadRadar (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

14/04/2008

A lot of excellent shooters from last year sit in our game libraries and hard drives waiting to be played again. But lately, we find ourselves coming back to Call of Duty 4 and we know we’re not the only ones. Finding active servers with settings you like is rarely a problem.

Five in-game deaths that actually made us sad (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

4/04/2008

More and more games seem to be plucking our heart strings to great affect and eliciting a genuine sense of woe amongst players.

59 levels to play before you die: A - D (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

21/03/2008

As you rebuild civilization and restore your people's faith in this sim/action hybrid, you'll find yourself honestly caring about your subjects' helpless lives. Nowhere is their plight more touching than Kasandora, where you help a starving desert tribe grow into a bustling village, only to see an old man die in the dunes. His last wish is for rain, which you grant. ...

Get Call of Duty to play better and faster (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

5/03/2008

The move away from CoD’s WWII origins was met with much scepticism. Happily, fears proved unfounded, and the developers’ efforts were rewarded with the best-selling game this Christmas, shifting half a million copies in December alone on various formats. Still, no one’s perfect, and the devs should probably stay in their military issue flak jackets while we ponder some of the more common technical issues you’ve had with ...

Call of Duty 4 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

24/01/2008

We know the temptation all too well. Youre trotting through a Call of Duty 4 multiplayer map, you see a bit of cover, and think, “I bet I could get behind that and punk the next fool who runs through here.” But before you commit to that hidey-hole, think twice - you can likely be flanked, grenaded, or otherwise humiliated in what should have been your moment of glory. To avoid this fate, check out our whimsical video on Call of Duty 4s best and worst camping spots. ...

The game credit sequences you'll actually enjoy (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

15/01/2008

15th Jan, 2007 The end credits of a game are usually by far the worst part. We're not talking about the game's ending here. Those can be spectacular. No, what we mean is the actual credits themselves. Not only are they the visual death toll of another game over, but all they offer you in consolation is the boring visage of a lot of names scrolling up the screen. And these days it's a lot of names. Back in the 8-bit home computer days we usually got away with one guy's signature on a title ...

Five reasons why COD4 will make you soil yourself (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

9/11/2007

Nov 9, 2007 Modern Warfare has broken out! Huzzah! No, we're not consequence-dismissing warmongers, just excited gamers looking for a (decidedly non-lethal) way to vicariously live out our our battlefield fantasies. Because Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is on sale, and it's amazing. But wait, recruit, because - as you might have seen - this latest Call of Duty conflict is so intense it'll make flower-gathering, Pinata-breeding gentle gamers soil themselves in utter shell-shocked terror. ...

Call of Duty 4: Cheats Unlocked (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

7/11/2007

Halo has skulls. Gears has cogs. Grand Theft Auto has packages. But this year's most rewarding collectible hunt isn't in any of those games... it's in Call of Duty 4. Scattered throughout the shooter are 30 hidden laptops, capable of unlocking some of the most useful - and bizarre - cheats we've ever encountered. Ranging from infinite ammo to super powered grenades to a "silent 1920s movie" filter (seriously!) these things can transform the game until it's nearly unrecognizable. Want to see ...
