yes, and quite a good one. did you play it? very odd question to me.
The thing I hate about threads like this is that every single game, and in fact every piece of entertainment in the world, can be called overrated or underrated. It just depends on your expectations.

CoD4 has a story, just not a particularly interesting or well thought out one. Your usual Russians and terrorists, except this time they are allied, which adds a whole new pointless twist.
Pretty much the entire single player campaign in CoD4 was a mess. There were a few great moments, like playing as Captain Price, and Death From Above, but most of it was generic crap. The online made it one of the best FPS games (I would say second to Killzone 2) this gen.
Compared to CoD4, any shooter's story is good. With the possible exceptions of Battlefield Bad Company, UT3 and Resistance 2.
But Killzone 2's story was genuinely good. There were no history lessons, but there was always a reason for what you were doing. And the backstory, if you've read it, is great.
