The SAS, the Marines and loyalist Russians attempt to capture Zakhaev's son, Victor, to learn Zakhaev's whereabouts but as they corner him on the roof of an apartment building, Victor commits suicide.
Enraged, Zakhaev retaliates by launching nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles at the U. Eastern Seaboard, which could kill 41 million people. A joint force of the SAS and the Marines, however, manage to seize the launch facility's command room and remotely defuse the missiles over the Atlantic Ocean.
They escape the facility in military trucks with Zakhaev's forces in hot pursuit. An ultranationalist Mi Hind helicopter destroys a vital bridge and traps the joint force. The ensuing fight with ultranationalists leaves everyone in the joint force either dead or severely wounded. Zakhaev himself arrives and begins killing wounded soldiers when loyalists suddenly destroy his Mi Hind and join the fray.
Zakhaev is shot dead. When the dust settles, loyalist forces start tending to the wounded. In the outro, the missiles incident and the ultranationalists' support of Al-Asad are hushed up, thus causing the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Call of Duty 4 was developed by a team of a hundred people, over the course of two years. While developing the story for Call of Duty 4 , Infinity Ward chose to avoid referencing current, real-life wars, and keep the series' common theme of two opposing forces of similar strength. To enhance the realistic feel of the game, the development team attended a live-fire exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, a training facility in the California desert.
This helped the developers to simulate the effects of being near an Abrams tank when it fires. The team also talked with U. Marines who were recently in combat to get a feel for the background, emotions, and attitude of Marines in combat. Veterans were also recruited to supervise motion capture sessions and the artificial intelligence design of the game. The development team designed the online multiplayer component to be balanced and rewarding for new players while still offering something for experienced players.
An early idea to implement air support air strikes and attack helicopters involved players fighting over special zones to access a trigger for air support against enemies. This idea was discarded because it discouraged the type of deathmatch gameplay they intended. The kill streak reward system was put in its place to encourage the improvement of player skills.
Players were allowed to select weapons before matches to get accustomed to weapons more easily and minimize weapon hunting. Map layouts were designed to minimize locations players could hide from enemy gunfire. Gregson-Williams also composed music for the game, such as the main theme.
Several music tracks from the game are available on Infinity Ward's "7 Days of Modern Warfare" website, and some are available at Barton's own web site. The game runs in a native resolution of p on the Xbox and PS3. Certain objects, such as cars and some buildings, are destructible. This makes distinguishing cover from concealment important, as the protection provided by objects such as wooden fences and thin walls do not completely protect players from harm. Bullet stopping power is decreased after penetrating an object, and the decrease is dependent on the thickness and surface type of the object.
The game makes use of a dynamic physics engine, not implemented in previous Call of Duty titles. Death animations are a combination of pre-set animations and ragdoll physics. Console versions of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare run at a consistent 60 frames per second , and the Wii version runs at 30 frames per second. The various criteria are meant to minimize players dying immediately after rejoining a match, or being "spawn-killed" due to players simply waiting for others to "respawn".
The game engine has also been used for the development of two other Activision games. An enhanced version of the original engine was used in Call of Duty: World at War , the fifth installment in the Call of Duty series after Call of Duty 4 , [ 16 ] while a slightly altered version has been used for the James Bond video game Quantum of Solace as well as GoldenEye using a heavily modified version.
On April 27, , the day before the release of the game's official trailer, Infinity Ward launched a website called "Charlie Oscar Delta" to provide information on the game. Charlie Oscar Delta features a ranking system that allows users to complete missions to increase their rank and compete for prizes.
The beta test was designed to test the servers, find glitches, and help balance out the weapons. It was originally only for residents of the US, but was later available to other countries. The beta concluded on September 30, Three multiplayer maps were available for play: Crash, Vacant, and Overgrown.
The demo includes one level, "The Bog," which showcases the advanced night vision and associated graphics capabilities. The game was released as a standard version and a collector's edition. The DVD contains a "making-of" featurette and a level walkthrough by the developers. Also included is a limited edition poster and an exclusive hardcover art book featuring never-before-seen concept, development, and final artwork. These elements were packaged in a larger cardboard version of the standard retail box.
The collector's edition was originally only available in the U. The PlayStation 3 version included the Variety map pack on the disc, and while the Xbox Game of the Year edition initially included an insert in the packaging which could be redeemed on Xbox Live Marketplace to download the Variety map pack, later releases did not contain the inserts, and so were no different from the original release of the game. It includes the multiplayer maps "Killhouse", "Creek", "Chinatown", and "Broadcast".
The same map pack was released for the PlayStation 3 on April 24, This patch can be applied to the Game of the Year edition directly with no prior patches.
Earlier versions must have patch 1. Modern Warfare on release received critical acclaim from many video game publications. The gameplay has been cited by reviewers to bring the genre to "a new level of immersion and intensity that we had never seen before. The game's story has received a considerable amount of acclaim from reviewers. GamePro notes that "the intense single-player campaign offers up an action packed experience that features a tremendously compelling narrative; there are moments in the game that will send chills down your spine.
Call of Duty 4 has also received criticism. Xbox World stated "It's smoke and mirrors and a host of cheap tricks," commenting on the fact that the game did not revolutionize the genre. The Wii version of Modern Warfare has fewer features than the other console versions.
It does not support split-screen multiplayer, and the graphics are not as developed. However, it supports co-operative gameplay in the campaign on a single screen. At any moment, a second Wii remote can be activated giving the second player their own aiming crosshairs.
GameSpot gave the game an 8. Before Call of Duty 4 was released, it was predicted to sell even more copies than the highly successful Halo 3 ; it had received reviews as high as Halo 3 ' s, it was launching on three systems as opposed to one for Halo 3 , and demand for the game led to a wide range of retailers only having enough available to satisfy pre-orders.
The Xbox and PlayStation 3 versions would go on to sell 1. These elements were packaged in a larger cardboard version of the standard retail box.

At the end, they rendezvous with a CH Sea Knight for evac. At the climax of the invasion, the squad head to the capital city where they think Al-Asad has withdrawn to.
After rescuing a pinned down advanced recon team, Vasuqez is informed that Al-Asad has a nuclear warhead in the area. They hasten to evacuate but the team's escort is shot down and they go back to save her. Having spent their time doing this, they do not escape in time and the nuclear bomb goes off, killing civilians, OpFor troops and 30, US servicemen, including Vasquez and Jackson.
Griggs manages to escape, as he was not with the team during this. Price discovers the nuclear package didn't belong to him when Al-Asad gets a call from the Russian Ultranationalist leader, Imran Zakhaev.
Price then executes Al-Asad. Price then tells the team of when, in , he was a Lieutenant assigned under the command of Captain MacMillan, on a mission to assassinate Zakhaev, an Ultranationalist who was trading nuclear fuel rods for weapons. The duo make their way through the ghost town of Pripyat, Ukraine, in ghilly suits and using minimal engagement to stay undetected.
Eventually they reach a hotel where they stay on the top floor for 3 days, until Zakhaev arrives. When the meeting is underway, Price uses a Barrett. The two then make their escape under pursuit from enemy helicopters, thinking Zakhaev will die from shock and blood loss.
While oon their way to the extraction point, they take down a helicopter but it comes crashing towards them and injures MacMillan's leg. Price then carries him the rest of the way and they hold their ground, waiting for exfil. After a lengthy chase, the team corner him on the roof of a five-storey building and Soap moves in to restrain him, however he shoots himself to evade capture. Soap, Gaz and Price then divert their course to rescue him before killing the power to the launch facility to allow Force Recon to breach the perimeter.
Shortly after getting inside and linking up with Sniper Team Two, they witness two nuclear missiles being launched towards the US, with an estimated 41,, casualties. The team therefore hasten inside and after taking out enemy armour with C4, cut the wire to the vents and get inside.
After reaching the control room, Soap uses the abort codes sent by Baseplate, the team's command, to destroy the missiles in flight before they reach the Eastern Seaboard. Soap, Griggs and Price then rendezvous with Gaz at the vehicle depot, where they make their escape using Russian trucks. With enemy vehicles and a Mi Hind behind them, Soap, Gaz, Price, Griggs and some others head down the Russian motorway, but a bridge critical to their escape is destroyed and they have to suppress the enemy from behind cover.
However, an oil tanker soon explodes, incapacitating everyone but Griggs, who tries to drag Soap to safety but is killed in the process by Zakhaev's guards and the man himself executes Gaz. A wounded Price slides Soap his M, with which the latter dramatically kills Zakhaev. Kamarov and the loyalists soon arrive, where Soap is carried away on a stretcher and a medic begins to resuscitate Price, but the fate of the two is unknown.
Meanwhile, a news reporter announces a series of nuclear missile tests in Russia, and that the search for a ship in the Bering Strait has been called off, showing the public do not know what has actually happened in the six-day crisis. In the Epilogue, a bonus mission titled "Mile High Club" can be played.
