Good-ish





It's Call of Duty 4. Other than the new, modern setting, it's about what you expect - an enjoyable, not at all taxing FPS. The story is a tad embarrassing but the gameplay itself is consistently enjoyable. The are plenty of the moments that you expect in a CoD game where you're left impressed and thoroughly satisfied.
One notable change, however, is that in an attempt to be more realistic and less video game-y, CoD4 uses regenerating health in-place of medi-packs. That is, rather than picking up healing items, the player can take a certain number of hits in a row before they have to duck down and wait a few seconds to fully restore their health before they take the next half-dozen. While this does solve the problem of having to scramble for health packs every few hits, it represents a much more substantial change in the way the game is structured. Instead of forcing the player to hide, judge their shots, and in general play a careful game in which getting hit is something to fear, the game is instead structured with the understanding that you are going to hurt yourself. A lot. As a result, the game feels far more like an arcade game than the modern warfare FPS it touts itself as. Instead it's run-and-gun with the occasional pause for cover to refill your health. You don't have to play this way, but the game is designed with the expectation that you will, and thus there is little reason to do otherwise. Even if you do try to take it slow, certain levels will require you to move quickly, despite the dozens of enemies you're dealing with. I personally find this far less rewarding, and while medi-packs did nothing for the CoD series' realism, this shatters it.
What's a half dozen bullets? You can shrug that off. -
Well done port, plenty of multiplayer





I have noticed that some folks claim that there are few multiplayer games available. This is completely untrue. You just have to make sure to hit refresh to list the available servers. I have NEVER come across a time where there were few players and I have been playing this game for years. Hope the refresh tip helps some of you.
The only problem I have noticed is that there are some blacked out textures when running this game on i-series processors. It's not a huge deal and does not show up in the single player game. You can fix it temporarily by changing the texture level in the options. It does not matter what level you change to or from, you just have to change it. (I alternate between "high" and "medium"). Once the problem reappears you can change back. - More Reviews... (8)
