Developer Infinity Ward confirmed the shift of focus for the popular franchise with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and triumphant return to PC.

Purists may bemoan the shift from WWII to a modern arena of war, but non-console owners will be happy to have COD back on PC.

Publisher Activision give us the details; “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the most intense, visceral title we've ever created," says Jason West, co-studio head and project lead, Infinity Ward.  "The single player campaign is a well-paced, non-stop action experience.  As the story unfolds, the player is introduced to new gameplay at every turn - one moment you are fast-roping from your Blackhawk helicopter after storming into the war zone with an armada of choppers, the next you are a sniper, under concealment, in a Ghillie suit miles behind enemy lines, the next you are engaging hostiles from an AC-130 gunship thousands of feet above the battlefield - get ready for the fight of a lifetime."

Mixed with explosive action, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also delivers amazing special effects, including use of depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, real time post-processing, texture streaming as well as physics-enabled effects to enlist players into the most photo-realistic gaming experience.  Combined with Call of Duty's award-winning audio design, players will face war as never before.

In addition to single player, Infinity Ward has deployed a dedicated team from the start to deliver a new level of depth to multiplayer.  Building on the hit Call of Duty 2 online experience, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's new multiplayer is set to provide the community an addictive and accessible experience to gamers of all levels.


Having conquered the WWII era with a formula that has proven successful, it will be interesting to see how this translates to the modern era.  Looks like Infinity Ward are looking to grab some of EA’s Battlefield 2 crowd, who have not made the transition to Battlefield 2142.
