Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Yesterday morning we got another chance to see Modern Warfare 2 as part of Infinity Ward’s epic European tour. It was a more laid back affair than last month's multiplayer event in Los Angeles and felt less like we were being treated to something completely 'new' but we did get a chance to catch up with Robert Bowling (Infinity Ward's adopted spokesman and Creative Strategist) see some more single-player and have a go on Special Ops. » Read Full Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare preview

Call Of Duty 4 is already better than unicorns, robots and light-sabers combined, but in just under a week it’s aiming to get even better with the release of the first downloadable add-on, the Variety Pack map collection for online multiplayer. » Read Full Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare preview

Oct 10, 2007 Call of Duty 4 may have taken us by surprise this past E3 (2007, if you're reading this years from now for some reason), thanks to one of the prettiest, most tension-filled demos in gaming history. But going into a recent all-day play session with publisher Activision, we knew what to expect: cutting-edge visuals and the most intense military action this side of actual deployment. But even with our expectations sky high, it blew us away. We'll talk about the hours spent squeezing » Read Full Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare preview

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare may have sent jaws to the floor during E3 with its tense single-player levels in realistic war zones, but the multiplayer was mostly a no-show.

Granted, our short time with CoD4's multiplayer only showed us one game type - team deathmatch - and the game seems pretty sparse at » Read Full Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare preview

The Call of Duty 4 demo we were shown, instead of just showing a snippet of the game here or another bit there, gave us an excellent overview of the game's first mission: a helicopter infiltration, which drops you and your squad off on a ship crawling with soldiers during a storm. The key to Call of Duty 4 is its atmosphere. Sure, the gameplay is solid - but it wouldn't matter if the developers didn't completely nail cinematic presentation and hyper-realism that has become the series' » Read Full Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare preview

Even the biggest fans of WWII first-person shooters have to admit video game companies are beating a dead war. Thank the big Sergeant in the sky that original Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward is bringing its unique brand of sweat-inducing, urine-causing FPS intensity to a setting in this millennium. For Call of Duty 4, Infinity Ward fabricated its own fictional war. Studio head Vince Zampella says, "Today's real conflicts don't suit the Call of Duty style." That style deals with two equal » Read Full Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare preview

Truth is, although Treyarch did an excellent job on Call of Duty 3s single-player game, it was held back by irritating vehicle sections and super-linearity. But online... man, we love it. So, with development of the Call of Duty series heading back to Infinity Ward (creators of Call of Duty 2 ) weve high hopes that they can up the game on single-player, pulling out the levels a bit and either making the vehicle sections and context-sensitive combat moments brilliant or dropping them » Read Full Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare preview
