Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a 2007 first-person shooter video
game, developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for
Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. A
separate handheld game was made separately for the Nintendo DS. The
game was released in North America, Australia, and Europe in November
2007 for video game consoles and Windows. It was released for the Mac
in September 2008, then released for the Wii in November 2009, given
the name Reflex Edition. It is the fourth installment in the Call of
Duty video game series, excluding expansion packs, and is the first in
the Modern Warfare line of the franchise, followed by a direct sequel,
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as well as the first game in the series
to have a Mature rating. The game breaks away from the World War II
setting of previous games in the series and is instead set in modern
times. Call of Duty 4 was in development for two years, and it uses a
proprietary game engine. On September 10, 2009, it was re-released in
Japan by Square-Enix. (more...)

Wikiquote quote of the day:
I may not be able to say all I think; but I am not going to say
anything that I do not think. I would rather a thousand times be a free
soul in jail than to be a sycophant and coward in the streets.
