Reading this here post, I decided that I wanted to post a short notice about Call of duty 4 – Modern Warfare.

I was given COD4 as a going-away present by my old employer, and I’ve been playing for a few hours (in single player mode) over the last few evenings. I never was much of a first person shoorter kind of guy (except GoW), but COD4 is really quite amusing. Even completely FPS-impaired people (such as myself) get loads of kills during missions, which makes for exceptionally entertaining game play. It should be noted that the AI is reasonably sensible, and doesn’t move infantry into the open too often (This in stark contrast with GRAW, which gives new meaning of artificial stupidity). Additionally, the types of missions vary from run of the mill first person action, over stealth oriented assassination missions, to taking on the role of gunner in a gunship providing cover for an evac mission. All in all, COD4 is surprisingly amusing for a FPS.

Additionally, it is, uhm, interesting to note how bad guys® in COD4 do not all conform to the cliché middle eastern AK47-slinging “holy warrior” stereo type. For extra realism Activision chose to add a truckload of Russians with bad American accents.

Anyway, I do enjoy the game, and I am not the only one.
