*Call of Duty 4 for Mac* is a *first person shooter* that puts you in the
center of intense war situations, and has extensive *online multiplayer*
modes to offer too. Call of Duty has established itself as one of the
greatest game series ever. With consistently improving graphics and AI, one
of the only real criticisms it has faced of late was the repetitive nature of
its setting. World War II is a fascinating, multi-theater world for games to
approach in many ways: but how about something different? Call of Duty 4:
Modern Warfare is the answer to that request. This game plunges you
head-first into a *present-day battlefield*, even more fast-paced than its
predecessors. Call of Duty 4 features a range of combat situations, including
the use of anti-tank weapons, the destruction of an anti-aircraft battery and
at least one seriously fast-paced, confusing fire fight. The *graphics in
Call of Duty 4* are top notch, and we didn't notice any lag even at
higher-end settings, although older Macs may struggle. There's also a
multi-player mode if things get a bit to easy or dull. Call of Duty 4 is
built on a new proprietary engine which offers much better support for
up-to-the-minute lighting effects, clearly visible in this test mission.
Another aspect of the new engine makes for a really interesting change to
*gameplay*. Some forms of cover (a light wooden fence, for example), won't
offer you much protection like they did in years gone by. While buildings are
not destructible, many elements of the Call of Duty 4 environment (like cars
and, yes, light wooden fences) are easily destroyed with gunfire. Heavier
weapons can cut through heavier cover too, "Shoot them through the wall!"
you're ordered at one point. All this added *realism* makes the general
quality of Call of Duty 4 gameplay really high. We noticed *great
improvements in AI*, even on easier levels of difficulty where previous games
may have left you feeling somewhat silly. One slight disadvantage of Call of
Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Mac is that you can't use a trackpad as it requires
a mouse with a right-click button. It's also a pretty hefty file at around
7GB and it demands a lot from your CPU and RAM - ideally you need a MacBook
Pro to prevent any lag. *Fast paced, intense and varied: awesome graphics and
involving gameplay make Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare a must-have for any
self-respecting gamer.*Download *Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for Mac
