Let’s face it, by now most gamers have been fi ghting
World War II longer than the war actually lasted. We’ve
killed more virtual Nazis than ever existed. So Infi nity
Ward’s decision to move beyond WWII is a welcome
respite.
Call of Duty 4 is set in a hypothetical confl ict in the
former Soviet bloc. You can expect a heaping helping
of small-squad action across a wide variety of terrain
types—we’ve seen missions in burnt-out towns, grassy
savannahs, and even forested hillsides.
The amazing thing is that Call of Duty 4 is a DirectX 9
game, eschewing support for DirectX 10’s bells and whis-
tles for higher frame rates and still-unbelievable graphics
in the legacy API.WE WERE TIRED OF KILLING NAZIS TOO
