I think my favourite improvement in the Multiplayer is the bringing back of Tanks! I would have liked to have seen the jeeps etc back too from COD 3! I've got so far into the Multiplayer, I haven't even finished the single player game. I've just pre-ordered Modern Warefare 2 from play.com, anyone got any ideas, rumors that we can expect in COD6?!

I think this game is great in single player (and perhaps multiplayer) but I was so disappointed with the co-op mode. I regularly game with a friend in co-op, and we discovered (after playing 6 hours one day) that it doesn't save your progress. As far as we could figure, we'd have to beat the game in one long stretch in co-op mode. Even though we had a lot of fun while playing, this fact was so frustrating that we gave up (after one more 4 hour gaming stretch to double check). I'm also very excited for the next installment as I agree that COD4 is the best yet. So a sequel by the same guys should be even better right? And hopefully longer...COD4 left me wanting quite a bit in the length department. Great review, even if I'm late to the game with my comment.

I've always said that the COD series are over-rated. Granted the SP is quite action packed but it seems highly repetitive no matter which scenario you're in, I spoke about my <a href="http://www.gavinelliott.co.uk/index.php/2008/11/18/cod5-the-disappointment/" rel="nofollow">COD5 dissapointment</a> quickly after finishing the game. I tried the MP and quickly rushed back to Battlefield Bad Company. I am however looking forward to Modern Warfare 2 and like Matt said it was by far the best game out of the series even though being set outside of the world wars. November seems like very far away especially since Battlefield 1943 and Bad Company 2 have been announced. My 2pence. Gavin And then there was me, who seems the only one to be utterly un-impressed.

I ended up getting it last week and have loved every minute so far. The single player is just there for the gamer points really and I'll plough through it for that reason alone. I'm looking forward to the next instalment from Infinityward, COD: MW2, although the Sci-fi setting might have put a nice twist on the franchise - shame!

In my opinion one of the best single player games ever. It's like you're actually there, or at least playing a part in a movie. Interesting fact, the next Call of Duty is going to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Be gone WW2 remake number 84! =) I don't really dig the multiplayer so much though. An up and coming multiplayer game (which is still in a closed beta) is Quake Live, based on the classic shooter Quake 3. The game will be totally free and runs in a browser. It already has me hooked like hell :) I really love the Call of Duty series. In my opinion one of the best single player games ever.

Despite being the only one that's not set in the 1940s. The missions play out quite different as well, since you fight mostly with a small group of allies, as opposed to hundreds or thousands.

Especially the first 8 to 10 rounds. I was playing with 3 other guys and it was just so slow and boring for the first half hour or so. Nothing in comparison to the aforementioned games.

Although I didn't get too into CoD3, and never played 4 because I hated that they broke away from their WWII roots, I've been with the series since the first. Enjoyed the review, thanks.
