Yes i know its an old one,but with funds being tight at the moment games are slow coming into my possession.
I have been pleasantly surprised by both the gameplay and graphics.The multiplayer aspect of this game is absolutely cracking,with no achievements to worry about its all down to having.....whats the word?....oh yeah fun!!The unlockable challenges more than make up for it.Game modes are standard fare but solid,and maps are varied enough to cater for everyones taste.
Single player is challenging on the harder difficulties,which leads us to the only bad point of the game which is the very unfair constantly spawning enemies.These were a pain in the other call of duties but in this one it kicks it in to overdrive.
Not one for hardcore boosters but if you want a game thats gonna last some time and have a great time in multiplayer then this is a must have game

All this hate?
Right lets set the records straight,unlike the "quick" list that matty so kindly left in the last post about my achievement whoring,i'll tell you how it is.
i dont lie to people about my gamerscore,or how i got the points,bare in mind that nearly all the people that are/have been on my friends list has helped me boost most of the online achieves,so i wouldnt be able to tell people that i got them all legit now could i?
it is true that i havent done avatar,fusion frenzy,any of the NBA games(apart from street homecourt) or surfs up.
now just run through my list and pick out all the single player only games that i have done myself and got either full points or near enough..........done it?i count 31 games that i have decent points on that i haven't boosted on.
i may have quite a few online achieves but im not bothered by that,why should it bother other people?its because a certain few miss out on boosting sessions,sometimes they even help me get my achievements and then disappear and then blame me because they don't stick around.I will always try and help the people that help me but i dont want to be stretching achievement sessions out over a couple of days,if you want them dont leave the game till you get them...
There are people out there that have played twice as many games and have half my score and even if they turned up to the boosting and got most of the online achieves that everyone else got,it wouldnt matter because they still suck at playing the single player aspect of the games.
I also know someone that calls me now for letting someone recover my tag and do a few games,but that same person used to moan that noone would recover his.....funny that is innit?
I like getting achievements but at the end of the day its my choice,i didnt judge a certain loudmouthed londoner just because he sleeps with men and women so people should just let me get my achieves the way i want,and all the friends that are left on my list are more than welcome to join me for some cod4 action without worrying about achieves.

The dark side
I dont know what it's all about but there seems to be a sudden rise in bad behavior patterns on xbox live recently,I myself have started to get slightly depressed with the whole achievements/gaming lifestyle.Dont get me wrong theres still nothing better than hearing those achievements pop but it seems that some people will stoop to the lowest level to attain them these days.Now usually im more than happy to help people on my friends list get achievements although its not always possible due to me not keeping games for very long,but i'm finding a few people who never seem to want to join rooms especially if they already have the achievements we're going after.I have a small circle of friends who i can rely on for boosting sessions but games are now increasing the amount of players needed to unlock achievements,burnout paradise being one of those.Even though i have plenty of people on my list who have the game,most are reluctant to join when boosting.
All this has led to my decision to start deleting people off my friends list.
I have also been witness to the effects of "achievement envy"where some are so busy trying to catch my gamerscore that they start to see me as the enemy.....I'm not too fussed if people get ahead,I'm even happy to help them on their way,but this also leads to them not wanting to help because they dont want me to get achievements that they have.Please dont take it out on me because you're gaming skills are inadequate enough to get more than 5 points on most game you play though(you know who you are!)
Xbox live is a great social hub for me,it lets me talk to people that i would never even approach let alone talk to if I was to meet them at random in the streets,so i can't understand why some feel the need to be sometimes quite abusive while playing...come on people enrich your lives and show the same respect to your fellow gamers that you would have them do the same,you can always learn something from anybody with a little respect and good manners.
