Call of Duty 4

Call of Duty 4 is the latest in the Call of Duty Series and was released in November 2007.

This version sees you playing as a member of the SAS and Marine Force Recon.

The single player puts you in many different situations, starting from training for a raid on a cargo ship looking for a nuclear device, hostage rescue and assasination.

I also found the single player storyline to be very dramatic, with some great new elements added that I had never experienced in a game like this before (main characters dieing for one).

Multiplayer action was different too. Unlike in previous versions, you can gain ranks (all the way up to commander), which provides you with new weapons and other unlocks for your weapons. Also once you reach ceratin kill streaks (which are kills you gain without being killed yourself) you gain the UAV or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle which can spot enemy units on the map unless a soldier is using the "UAV Jammer" Perk, Air strikes which calls in 3 waves of jet fighters to drop bombs on a target and finally a helicopter which roams around the map shooting enemy targets.

The addition of perks brought a new perspective to gameplay as well. Perks such as "Iron Lungs" to aid in sniping by allowing the user to hold their breath for longer, giving them time to aim their sniper rifle at their head for an easier kill and "Last Stand" allowing a critically wounded unit to pull out his weapon as a last resort before dieing added new depth and many new and intersting combos for gameplay.

All in all I highly enjoyed this game and recommend it for people who enjoyed the previous games (apart from COD3 which was a complete joke) and anyone interested in modern warfare.
