Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Ok, so I went out and bought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Saturday. It's the newest installment in the COD franchise which has, up until this game, spanned various campaigns through the bloody World War 2. This one, however, takes place in modern times fighting a fictional war against terrorists in order to stop a nuclear holocaust.
I've not played this game on PC before. We have it here at the office for the XBox, but any gamer can tell you it's a whole new world from a console to a computer - personally, I love playing on the computer. Using a controller is a pain in the butt and really gives me little or no control.
I did pretty well going into the game. It helps that I play, and own, COD1, COD: United Offensive and COD2.
Here is a screenshot of the second map I ever played on the PC.
As you see, I did pretty good (I'm Azrael, by the way). Kicked a few teeth in. I had a good time. Probably still only play a few times a week, but it will be good times. I do, definitely, recommend this if you're into First Person Shooters (FPS) and war games. VERY good gameplay.
I got a few other, older game, for the PS2 - but that's for another day.
Here is what they say on Amazon.com
