Gameplay InfoCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will introduce a variety of game play
styles into the single player campaign completely new to the Call of
Duty series.
The
game moves away from the standard three country-specific campaign
style, and allows the plot to play through more like a film style plot
with interlaced story lines from the perspective of the player as a
member of the US 1st Force Recon and a member of the British 22nd SAS
Regiment. There is also a variety of cameo-style missions where you
play as various other soldiers such as an AC-130 Spectre Gunship
gunner, or as
one part of a two man sniper team behind enemy lines in a flashback style mission.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will focus on the variation of modern
warfare as an infantry soldier by allowing the player to control
soldiers in a vast amount of different scenarios,
straying
away from the constant "at eleven" action of previous Call of Duty
titles and allowing for both heavy intensity fire fights and slower
paced drama styled intensity. The developer, Infinity Ward, has so
far told about a handful of such levels including where the player will
be the gunner of an AC-130 gunship and the
pilot of a AH-1 Super Cobra helicopter providing air support.
The series' move to modern warfare has also introduced a variety of new
modern weapons and technology to be introduced to the Call of Duty
franchise. Such showcased weapons and attachments include M203 grenade
launchers, IR laser pointers for use in conjunction with night vision
goggles, silenced MP5SD submachine guns, and the FGM-148 Javelin
portable anti-tank guided missile among many others.

Plot Information - Possible SpoilersA Russian nationalist by the name of Zakhaev is set on returning his
homeland to the Soviet times. Zakhaev knows the United States would
never allow this to happen, thus he funds a coup in the Middle East,
organized by his ally Al-Asad, to draw attention away from Russia. The
two men and their seconds-in-command gain the nickname The Four
Horsemen. However, the British and US governments have been monitoring
Zakhaev's activities and discover his real intentions. The story is
told from a perspective of a British 22nd SAS Regiment operative in
Russia and American 1st Force Recon in the Middle East.
The game also features a flashback mission set 15
years ago in the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation, which features a new
incarnation of Captain Price from 22nd SAS Regiment, the only character
to appear in both of the first two games of the Call of Duty series. He
needs to assassinate Zakhaev, but his mission fails because his Captain
gets wounded and he has to get him out of the Zone of Alienation.
Whether this new Price will be confirmed to be a relative of the WWII
era Price remains to be seen. It is also believed that the assasination
attempt left Zakhaev with only one arm.
The game features the following as playable characters:
*Lieutenant Price, 22nd SAS Regiment (15 years ago)
*Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish, 22nd SAS Regiment (present)
*Sergeant Paul Jackson, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment (later Sergeant as part of 1st Force Recon Co., U.S.M.C.) (present)
Their names are seen in mission info which is seen in published gameplay footage of the game. Further characters are unknown.
The game features the following as unplayable characters:
*Captain MacMillan, 22nd SAS Regiment (15 years ago)

Too early for game of the year? Trust us, you'll see.... 10/10
