Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare differs from previous installments of the Call of Duty series. Previous Call of Duty games have a distinct three country-specific campaign style, while Call of Duty 4 has a more film-like plot with interlaced story lines from the perspectives of Sgt. Paul Jackson of the Marines 1st Force Recon and Sgt. 'Soap' MacTavish of the British 22nd SAS Regiment.
Kit's verdict · 9.1/10
A short, sharp, brilliantly paced campaign whose best missions are still unforgettable.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Incredibly tight pacing
- All Ghillied Up is an all-time great mission
- Crisp, punchy gunplay
Not so much
- Over in about six hours
- Endlessly respawning enemies on Veteran
Play it if anyone who wants a blockbuster shooter campaign without filler.
Skip it if players who want open levels and freedom to tackle fights their way.

Tips
Play it better
- On harder difficulties, enemies respawn until you push forward past a trigger point, so keep moving.
- Grenade indicators show incoming grenades; throw them back when you can.
- Hold your breath while aiming a sniper rifle to steady the scope.
- In All Ghillied Up, follow Price's lead closely and stay prone when he tells you to.
- Shoot through thin walls and doors; bullet penetration catches enemies hiding behind cover.
