Call of Duty 4 Game Information
- Taking over posts, and acquiring new weaponry and hardware by over-running enemy combatants is the general idea in Call of Duty 4. There are special situations that require special skills and weapons that are obtained according to the player's skills and learning curve. Call of Duty 4 is a point-and-shoot video game, which means that the ability to use the cursor controls on the computer keyboard is paramount.
- Since this war game is based on current technologies, strategies and battle sites, the weapons are generally semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and hand-held missile launching devices. The player will start with a certain amount of weaponry, ammunition and life energy, which will be added to or depleted as the game is played. Upgrades are available as the player works his way through the fight scenarios that allow him to upgrade his resources.
- The player has the added ability to unlock cheats that will help her get through situations faster or obtain better weaponry, hardware and ammunition. These cheats are in the form of enemy laptops that are located in various places as the player progresses through the fight scenes. Although these are called cheats, many gamers are familiar with these added bonuses, and determine how and where to use them to obtain maximum results.
- The computer requirements to play Call of Duty 4 on the PC are a minimum of a Pentium 4 (2.4 GHz or faster) central processing unit; 512 MB of RAM; 8 GB of hard drive access; and a Geforce 6600 or ATI Radeon 9800Pro, or better. The visual field is wide-screen resolution, and it comes in Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. It is a single-player, first-person shooter style game, yet Call of Duty 4 allows for multiple online players to contend against each other at the same time. Call of Duty 4 is also available for several console systems including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the Wii.
