Call of Duty 4 – Still going strong a year later

Its been more than 1 year since I got my copy of Call of Duty 4 for the PlayStation 3 and I am still crazy about this game. So far I have logged more than 7 days worth online, which is on average more than 40 minutes a day. I just can’t stop playing this game, mainly because I have always been into guns my whole life since my uncle introduced me to the world of BB guns when I was less than 10 years old! I used to be a Counter Strike addict since high school but as soon as COD 4 was released I jumped the boat almost right away. Honestly CS:S was getting a bit old, playing the same people/servers/maps (I used to play dust/dust2 24/7 servers by the way). Still it was and still is one of the best first person shooter out there in my opinion.

I was really and I mean REALLY tempted to buy Call of Duty: World at War, mainly because of its co-op multiplayer game mode, the flame thrower, the unlockable zombie level and finally one of my ex co-worker told me to get it because he is playing with my other ex co-workers (used to play COD4 with them almost every Thursday).

In the end I have decided not to get it simply because my preference for modern/futuristic first person shooter weights far more than the said reasons why I wanted to buy. Another deal breaker is the fact that I won’t have time to play both series since I hardly have time to play COD4 these days.

Even after the release of Call of Duty: World at War, I haven’t noticed any drop in players for COD4 at all. I guess I’m not the only one who prefers having modern wars, or maybe some people just have the time for both series.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I still miss the co-op missions, the mighty flame thrower and most of all, the unlockable zombie level! For those that have the game, I am sure you guys are enjoying it.
