GREAT GRAPHICS, GAME PLAY WEAK!
It plays exactly like Counter Strike! The maps are small, and has tons of close quater action. If you like Counter Strike, you will love this one. As for me, there is none better then Battlefield2, game play is ten times more fun.

a game done right
Single Player:
Incredibly immersing single-play campaign. Short indeed, as many critics have already noted, but to be honest, when it's done as well as this, I don't think that matters. I've played many games which take a whole lot longer to get through, but don't come anywhere close to offering the hands-on, visceral atmosphere Call of Duty 4 does. From stealthy sniper missions to all-out crazy firefights, the single player missions are amazingly atmospheric and very intense. War really is a chaotic mess at times, and no game has ever come close to portraying that so well. Overall, a wonderful addition to the FPS genre, and Infinity Ward should be congratulated for taking the franchise out of the WWII realm and bringing it up to date, complete with excellent graphics, effects, lighting, sounds, and textures.
Multiplayer:
There's a simplicity to the multiplayer that's refreshing, but the "reward system" will just keep you wanting to come back for more. The more kills you make, the better your soldier and class will be for future battles... I'm amazed that more FPS multiplayer games haven't done this before. I suck pretty badly at most multiplayer games because usually everyone else's skills are way better than mine, but with CoD4, even if I'm not as skilled as some other players out there, I can continue to improve and get rewarded -- it's ideal for the casual player like me!
Great job, and congratulations to all the folks who worked on Call of Duty 4... I think you're going to make a lot of new fans, and for those returning again to the CoD franchise won't be disappointed either.

Much better than the previous COD games.
I've been a FPS player since, well forever, and have owned almost all FPS games. Of late only the multi-player games have interested me for very long.
COD4 is at least for now the BEST multi-player military FPS on the market. It is by far the most realistic. Crysis is going to have a lot to live up to to compete.
It even runs well on my 3 year old Alienware.
If you liked the Battle Feild 2 and 2142 games you will love it.
