If you're getting tired of World War II game, then you are in luck. Today GameVideos brings us the first gameplay trailer for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The video is unquestionably modern, featuring laser sights, gun-mounted grenade launchers, and night vision goggles. However, it's also clear that the game maintains the feel of previous Call of Duty titles, really making you feel like you're in the center of the action. The video takes place during a nighttime operation, and all the aforementioned gadgets are put to good use. Give it a watch and tell us what you think.
[Thanks, Jeff]

Looks good...It definitely looks like it has the COD 'feeling' too it. Very excited about this title. Just hope the AI is smart and realistic. Hopefulyl you can kill your own teammates...it looked for a second in the gameplay taht your AI teammates did not take damage from some shots fired from the player.

I've never been a fan of the COD series because of the WWII theme and all but COD4 looks like a winner to me.

Aww man why did they have to put laser scopes that's unrealistic...
Still gonna pick it up though but laser scope is so tacky. No one uses it in real life because it give away your position...

No, just like the game, the military uses ones that are invisible but you can see them with night vision.

First of all, they are not laser scopes, I believe they are infrared scopes, which is why they were only visible with the night vision goggles.
Assuming one is fighting against technologically deficient opponents (ie terrorists), it is a good solution to preventing friendly fire, which can happen easier using night vision goggles, since terrorists likely do not have night vision abilities.
Furthermore, if true realism of that sort is your primary concern, I think you should be more put off by the fact that the player was struck twice by enemy fire, yet showed no signs of slowing down ;-)

yes laser scopes are quite very real with the night vision goggles. Sam Fisher's glowing green goggles AND bright green target light on his back: not so much.
this game looks very cool. i'm not a fan of world war 2 games or rainbow six games so this is a perfect fusion of both games for me.

Ive never owned a COD game. modern warfare is much better...AND THIS GAME LOOKS PHAT. The night vision thing was freaking cool i could imagine playing Multiplayer in my dark living room with surround and having a ton of guys hiding and creaping up on eachother.. Just seeing scopes moving aound. this game is a MUST HAVE NOW.

holy crap that looks so good. for a pre alpha build, that looks better than Halo 3 beta multiplayer.
the explosion in the middle and then the helicopter crashing and exploding. the firefight with the nightvision. all those things made that sequence amazing.

Wow, that looks great.. Can't wait for a demo.

call me picky but i think the gun looks too clunky..although i'm sure it has zero bearing on the gameplay.
also, i can help but wonder why so many developers skip over vietnam shooters. i know shellshock: nam '67 and another for the original xbox, but i think it's time for someone to try it again nn the current gen consoles. i've always wanted to get my snipe on in the jungle.

I think this game looks great! Like AnOffDay said it has the same old feel as the other CoD games in the series. It appears to be more like CoD2 which is a good thing and makes sense (developed by IW).

I'll miss lobbing potato grenades at Gerries, but this looks absolutely SICK. The close-combat on the stairwell was goosebump inducing.
Definitely the COD spirit and intensity - amen. What engine is this? Demo date? (yeah right)

...oh, and that IS running on our beloved 'box. Note the blue "x" hint for picking up weapons.
Any word on an actual story this time? (Not a pseudo-history lesson. ;-)

Please tell me Treyarch isn't developing this game.. They ruined CoD 3. And looks like Guitar Hero 3 is going to be ruined too.

looks excellent...I've yet to buy one of the COD games, but I've played other people's versions...this time I'll have to get my own.

@18: Nope it's back in the hands of Infinity Ward so I have high hopes for this. But I have to admit they have just about lost my money for this franchise, especially with CoD3 being not very good. This one better shine or I will pass.. from what I've seen it looks good. Anybody know if this video was running on the 360?? Looks like it might be PC footage.

Wow this game looks great.
So pleased to have Infinity Ward back on CoD!!!!
When is the release date?
My only gripe is the chopper crash could be really beefed up and have a shock/blast wave effect. But that's nothing. Everything else looks awesome!

I am impressed with this very much.
Did it seem like the character was moving a little slow to U guys?

@17
Men Of Valor on the 360 would be nice.U know that game was an xbox original and was powered by unreal. But as far as sniping goes in the jungle play Far Cry.
About the game.
Allow me to refraise my opinions on this title from my last post...
FUCKING WOW!!!

5. Aww man why did they have to put laser scopes that's unrealistic...
Still gonna pick it up though but laser scope is so tacky. No one uses it in real life because it give away your position...
Again its not a laser scope, that was for super nintendo. The laser unit equipped on that m4 variation is a PEQ box. It does have a high power red laser but also has an infrared beam which night vision will pick up.
What i really like is how realistic the weapo n looks and how the animations where done for reloading. I wonder if they even have mag dump pouches.
Gotta love that 500 dollar Eo Tech 552 holographic sight!

Maybe its just me but in the Trailer seems like he could have just walked around and never even gotten shot. Seemed like there was lots going on but nothing that really meant any threat. He was dodging and weaving, from what I dont know, then all the sudden watched the helicopter, or back up and circled round to reload but nothing was shooting at him, put on night vision walked into building and started blasting away but nothing was hitting him or attacking, just a bunch of sound effects...... look cool but thats all it might be is "looks".

We'll see how the game actually plays, and if it can hold up to what they just showed when there are multiple people playing and with at least decent AI.

At first, I was bummed that they were getting a way from WWII on COD4. But after watching that video...all I have to say is wow! I am excited for this one!!!
