Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Best Multi FPS in a long long time. on April 16, 2008

Forget HALO. If you like realistic, modern combat this game fills the bill.

The weapons are all REAL, and carried by many armed forces throughout the world. The physics are REAL for the most part. Sometimes you can jump off of stuff that should probably kill you, but it's all good.

The perk system is amazing and adds a whole new spin on the FPS genre. For example, you have 3 perk slots and about 5 to 9 choices for each slot. You have a blue, red, and yellow perk. Say for your red perk you are new to the game and you die alot, you could turn Juggernaut on, which gives you more health. (Use caution tho, you will get whined at pretty much every match.) But, as you progress thru the game and get more matches under your belt you might notice you are getting killed less and decide you really would like to reload faster, take off Juggernaut and replace it with Sleight of Hand. Now you have regular health, but you can reload twice as fast. So as you can see, replacing each perk with something else can help you with one aspect, but limits you on others.

All in all, it's just like with any game, if you are unsure about it, go rent it. As for me, this game will be in my lineup for eternity.
