Gamespy Game of the year

[dragonz2444]

Unmatched on 3 platforms COD 4 swept through the ranking beating the most notorious rival Halo 3 and destroying what most halo 3 fans think as their turf (Pun lol the halo 2 map turf get it!...fine dragonz will stop making jokes).

With there own pixel based trophy the makers of COD 4 are happy.



And here it is the honor of the best game of the year 2007 presented directly from gamespy: GameSpy's Game of the Year 2007

Sluggo: It was a tough fight for the top spot this year, but in a rare show of harmony, there was near-unanimous love among GameSpy's editors for our 2007 overall Game of the Year: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It was a game that hit every target it aimed for, from its gripping single-player campaign to the ridiculously addictive I've-almost-got-enough-XP-for-that-cool-gun multiplayer. The single-player campaign shifts back and forth between scripted cinematic spectacle and dynamic combat almost effortlessly: one minute you're knocking down tanks with a Javelin missile, the next you're thrown into a massive courtyard with a platoon of friendlies and enemies attacking from five directions. Everything from the cargo ship opening to the "All Ghilled Up" flashback to the frantic end missions were as tight as any game we've seen this year, and I expect I'm going to have the multiplayer sitting on my hard drive for quite a while. It's an impressive three-for-three for Infinity Ward.

Bryn: Call of Duty 4 is by far my favorite game of 2008. The sheer level of depth found in the online game (I've been playing on Xbox 360 mostly) is simply staggering. Infinity Ward has managed to refine the FPS genre to a point where you feel so connected with the story, characters and events that the level of intensity becomes simply incredible. The strong offline campaign coupled with the legendary online experience completes this amazing package. Visually amazing and aurally excellent, CoD4 does everything right and nothing wrong.

Fargo: Infinity Ward has always created great single-player experiences, tightly scripted to give you the biggest bang for the buck. This year it took that mastery of single-player pacing and perfected the art. But what really surprised me -- and pushed a great game into Game of the Year territory -- is how much fun the multiplayer is. It works on multiple levels and continually rewards you for playing. Perfect.

Will: I'm a multiplayer junkie, and Call of Duty 4's head-to-head action is the closest thing I've found to virtual crack. I can't remember the last time I played such an addictive multiplayer mode, and I constantly find myself saying "OK, just one more game..." even when it's 3 a.m. and I know I should be in bed. The most remarkable thing about the game is the deceptively simple experience structure, which rewards players with sweet gear and shiny medals. Every time you see that little +10 icon appear over a felled opponent's head, you know that you've just gotten a shade closer to ranking up once again. Oh, and did I mention how much I love the Challenges and the ability to create your own custom class? There were a lot of great multiplayer games released this year, but this is one of the only ones I'll still be playing deep into 2008.

Gerald: In a year chock-full of incredible games, Call of Duty 4 stands head and shoulders above the rest. The single-player campaign consistently amazed me with mouth-watering visuals and some of the most intense scenes I've ever experienced in a videogame. But the real reason why this is my Game of the Year is the multiplayer. As far as I'm concerned CoD4 is the definitive multiplayer shooter, thanks to unsurpassed gameplay and a rich rewards system that will keep me coming back for months to come.
