I'm going to let you know right off the bat - this review contains spoilers. The game has been out for almost a year, so I'd say it's pretty close to the Spoiler Statute Of Limitations. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, as the title would suggest, brings the franchise finally out of the European and North African theaters of World War II, and into the present day, or rather the not-so-distant-future, while maintaining the theme of prior installments, where they followed the conflict in question from multiple perspectives (previously the Russians, British, and Americans, now just the Americans). With the transition, the game adds a more cinematic approach, but cuts back on it's length, for good and for ill.
