Best Online Experience On The PS3 Yet
The story of CoD4 is set in Russia and the middle east, straying from the WW2 Call of Duty lines into modern technology and fighting. You use modern arsenal throughout a story dealing with European leaders taking in a man the U.S. want. The story is great and has some great turns and a fantastic finish.
The graphics are just amazing. On an HDTV, oooo boy they are nice. I cant even describe how excellent the game looks, you just have to see it to believe it. Definitely one of the best looking games out for the PS3 yet.
The weapons are great as well. You get to use a wide variety of machine guns, pistols, rocket launchers, grenades, and perks. Online you can even create-a-class and choose a custom setting of a primary weapon, secondary weapon,grenades, and perks.
Split-screen 2-player is very fun as well. You just get a map, choose your own class and go out there trying to kill each other many times. In here and online you get to use an air strike and helicopter after a certain number of kills in a streak, but in online you get a full radar after 3 kills (as without it you only see people firing weapons). This is a very enjoyable, addicting mode for people without online, or with online but with two people.
But online is the pride and joy of CoD4. I'm not very knowledgable with online (my PS3 is my first online console and I have only played a handful of online games) but CoD4 does stand out as a great online experience. You improve up levels, getting 5 points per kill and adding up to higher levels (i.e. Corperal, Sargeant) and getting more perks and weapons to create-a-class with. This is definitely the finest online game I have played and a whole lot of fun.
One problem I had with this game is there is no co-op campaign or online. They have split-screen but thats about it for 2 people. If you could play split-screen online or campaign the game would have been even more enjoyable.
Despite no co-op, Call of Duty 4 is still one awesome game and all PS3 owners should play this one.
