Too bad I cannot give this game 4.9 stars. It was that close. Everything good that you have heard about this game is true. There are just some things that seperate it from a full 5 stars.
Actually only 3 come to mind:
In the single player mode, some of the AI characters who are "Force Recon Marines" are Privates (or paygrade of E-1). Perhaps the creators just didn't research their rankings enough. In the American military you advance up to E-3 (Lance Corporal for Marines) after 18 months, any Force Recon Marine would already be long past the rank of Private.
The second mistake was also related to rank. Captain Price is an O-3 (3rd officer paygrade), yet 15 years ago (in the sniper mission) he was a young Leftenant (an O-2). If he was a leftenant 15 years ago he should be at least a Lt. Colonel (O-5) or Colonel (O-6) by now. Yes O-6 in the Navy is called Captain, but then he would be placed in a desk job in any case. Either way for him to still be a Captain he would have had to have been reduced in rank several times, and have higher-tenured out (released prior to retirement for failing to pick up rank in a set number of years).
The third and last gripe I have is with the sniper mission. Great mission. But the sniper rifle you use when posting out in the Hotel is supposed to be the barrett M107, which was not around 15 years ago, when that mission was set.
These may seem rediculous, but hey, 5 stars doesn't come easy. Wish I could give them 4.9 stars, but 4 will have to suffice.

This game is tons of fun in online mode. The single-player mode is fun, too, but it has the same design as others in the series where you have limited ammo and unlimited enemies until you move to the next checkpoint. Keep this in mind or you're screwed.
The graphics and sound are fantastic! See and believe. The weapons have been tweaked so they're more balanced in the game, and less accurate representations of the accuracy and damage of the real things, but so what.
The online game has an innovative system where you earn upgrades by reaching certain achievements, such as a 25 kills with this weapon or killing X number of enemies using C4, and so on. It's frustrating that you can only use two of these upgrades ("perks") at a time, so you can't have increased bullet damage and red dot sights and increased health, but I guess it evens out the game.
I'd give it five stars but a couple of online maps are sub-optimal and really annoying, but overall it's still a blast to play, and if you like first-person shooters you'll be stuck on this for ... a while.
If someone blew you up with a claymore, it's probably me. Sorry.

I like it for work pressure relief. Great graphics. You are able to shoot weapons that you can not normally get your hands on including "Puff".

A game that stands the test of time. I've purchased GTA IV, Madden 2009, and several other games and this is still the one that resides in my 360.
The single player is short, but adrenaline-laden. The slow-motion sequences at the ends of certain levels (mile-high club, and the final showdown on the bridge come to mind) are so good that I've replayed them several times!
The multi-player is incredibly fun and engrossing. It's the reason my best friend bought a 360 of his own. All you need is 10 minutes, and you can have a blast on Free for All, or spend more time on one of the "big maps" playing ground war. It's well worth your time and money.
Take it from me...if you look at my reviews, I'm stingy with a 5-star rating, reserving it for only the best (think Resident Evil IV, etc.). Drop a few bucks, and indulge in this one before World at War brings fans back to the reality of prior CoD games...

This game is amazing, you have to get it. It has a great campaign mode, even though it is extremely short. I was able to complete the game in about 6-7 hours. However, the graphics, storyline, and gameplay are excellent and keeps you sucked into the game.
The real killer however, is the online multiplayer. Call of Duty 4 has a revolutionary game engine, and is one of the best multiplayer games in my opinion. Levels and ranks lead to better weapons, perks, attachments, etc. This gives you a goal to strive for, and the prestige mode (where you start all over but get a special symbol) is great for bragging rights.
Overall, i'd highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys first person shooters.
