Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

HOLYFUCKINGSHITTHISGAMESUCKS.

Seriously. As a single player game, this is one of the worst ever.*

  • Immediately punishes the player: check
  • Try-die-try game play: check
  • Blatanty obvious trigger points: check
  • Inflexibly scripted: check
  • Endlessly respawning enemies: check
  • Enemies spawn from behind: check
  • Instant deaths: check
  • Artificially extending game length through difficulty: check

After the horrifc P.O.S. that was COD2, I swore I would never play another game by either Infinity Ward or Sparks. (I never could keep track of which group was doing what version of COD, so I opted to boycott both in order to play it safe.) However, after all of the hype and praise I was hearing about COD4, I got suckered in: I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe give the game a chance. What a mistake.

COD4 is a disgrace. It is the antithesis of what gaming should be. Infinity Ward should be disgusted with themselves. The only way it could have been worse is if it was set in WWII.**

Thankfully, I didn't pay for this crap.

Score: 0

*Multiplayer COD4 is the polar opposite. It rocks. One of the best ever.

**this just in: COD5 will be set in WWII. Three cheers for originality.
