The second in the 'Should you buy' Series

So, Firstly if you haven't heard of CoD - your retarded, if you haven't brought it - you should

Heres some info if you don't know

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows; it is also scheduled for release for Mac OS X in May 2008. It is the fourth installment of the Call of Duty video game series, excluding expansions. The first game of the series to break away from the World War II setting, it is instead set in modern times.

The Story

The game begins with British 22nd Special Air Service Regiment Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish, Captain Price, Gaz, and a small group of other SAS members infiltrating a cargo ship in the Bering Sea. After confirming the presence of a nuclear device onboard the ship, the team evacuates the ship with the cargo manifest, which proves there are ties between a Russian nationalist group and a faction in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, a Russian Ultranationalist by the name of Imran Zakhaev is set on returning his homeland to the times of the Soviet Union by revolting against the current government and seizing a nuclear weapons stockpile. Zakhaev funds a coup d'état in the Middle East organized by his ally Khaled Al-Asad, beginning with the televised execution of the President Yasir Al-Fulani to draw attention away from Russia. The British and American governments discover the plot while monitoring Zakhaev's recent activities, and initiate a police action to stop the uprisings in both regions. After President Al-Fulani is executed, the 22nd SAS is deployed to rescue their compromised informant who is held in an Ultranationalist camp in Russia, with help from Russian Loyalist forces led by Sergeant Kamarov. Before they can reach the base in Hamburg, the squad is shot down over Central Russia, and must get to a nearby landing zone for evacuation. An AC-130 gunship is dispatched to provide fire support for the team until they are evacuated. I'm not going to say anymore :D

The only problem I have with this game is the campaign, its to damn short

Yeah I know but Replay Value

I wasn't originally going to get it, but I ended picking it up on launch day...

Best £5 I've ever spent.

£5 Jesus that is very very very cheap

Yep, that's why I picked it up :)

I went out to buy The Simpsons Game, and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. As I was leaving the door, my dad gave me aload of unlimited-use vouchers for Woolworths we amassed the previous Chistmas, and I ended up getting all-bar £5 knocked off the price.

Wow... Very Nice

I love this game, but the dying for no reasons sometimes bugs me.

Took back RSV for this game (having spent many hours online on that) and this was just amazing, though I have recently stopped playing, though I might play a little more soon, cause it was so fun

I have never experienced this dying for no reason thing, I must be quite lucky.
