Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare IGN Preview

Filed in archive Game Previews on June 14, 2007

Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward has dropped the WWII gloves and put on more modern ones, The new Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is set, you guessed it, in the present/near future with modern weapons and equipment. Sounds like Rainbow Six Vegas? Yeah, i thought the same thing. But not only did Infinity Ward changed the setting, it also upgraded the graphics as seen below:

 

Nice, eh?

Though Infinity Ward isn't going into great detail on the story elements, Modern Warfare is set in a world where a quartet of evil men threatens global peace. The Four Horsemen, as they are called, must be stopped. To do so, you'll do some globetrotting through Russia and the Eastern Block and also through the Middle East. Don't expect any excursions to Iraq -- while COD4 is realistic to an extent, it creates fictional conflicts and avoids any overt political commentary.
