Advantages: good singleplayer, awesome multiplayer, good graphics

Disadvantages: singleplayer very short, need a hefty pc you enjoy it in all its glory

General Game play

The general game play of the game is great. The controls are fully customizable and there are no noticeable glitches or problems. I play lots of Counter Strike and moving into Call of Duty 4 was easy and painless.

Single player

The single player is extremely good and one of the best I have played in terms of entertainment for a long time. It is split into chapters with each chapter having parts. You play from the viewpoint of different soldiers' which provides you with plenty of new environments. However there is one flaw that dents the single player considerably. It is short; I easily completed the game on Easy difficulty in a few hours. Playing it on the hardcore difficulty took less than a day. The single player is immersive but shockingly short.

Multiplayer

Again great, there are a huge amount of servers and it is easy to find one with players of your own ability. You can play on many maps, many of which feature in the single player missions. You can play with up to 64 other people however I find the game is much more enjoyable with less than 20. A substantial amount of different modes ensure you don't get bored.

Performance

The graphics are great but that means you need a hefty PC to run it. A 8800gt copes with it fine and the game look glorious but with older hardware expect to tone it down. I played and pitiful settings with a X1300Pro but the game still looked decent.

Overall

Call of Duty 4 is, in my opinion, a must have for PC gamers. The multiplayer scene is so huge you can see it still being played for years to come. The single player is enjoyable even completing it again at a harder difficulty. Patches are also released fairly often which keeps bugs and problems at bay. The developers' haven't just forgotten about it.

Summary: Must have for PC gamers.
