Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360)

Fall 2007 Preview
Synopsis: War rages on in the fourth edition of Activision's acclaimed war game. For the first time in the series, Call of Duty moves away from WWII to the modern battlefield.
My Take: I guess when your game is going to sell no matter what, you don't need an interesting synopsis, huh? The beta has been going around for the 360 lately, and I've had a good amount of fun with it. What adds to the experience is that I've been able to play the game with people I know, and it's been a while (Gears) since I've been able to play multi with those people. That is the sole reason why, if I lay down the cash, it would be for the 360 version and not the PC version.
The multiplayer demo is fast paced (read: people spawn behind you and kill you), and the mechanics seem to be on for the most part. There's even a Counter-strike, as imitated by Infinity Ward, mode that's fun to play. This Fall it's going to come down to two multiplayer games on the 360: Halo 3 and CoD4. Fortunately they play nothing like each other, and both should be able to foster some pretty strong communities. Finding a match at 3am on a Monday night in either game should be no problem.
