I finally installed and played COD4: Modern Warfare. I'm glad I paid only $25 for it. I started it yesterday evening and just finished it, just 23hrs later. It probably took only about 8hrs to finish on the Regular difficulty setting. (The training mission recommended "Recruit" based on my performance in the trial runs. )
Nice graphics, though even at the lowest settings, it was a bit choppy at 1680x1050, 2xFSAA, on a Geforce 7600GT card, and a 2.4GHz C2D 6600 CPU.
Disabling the music took a quick Google search, and consequently renaming the MILES folder in the program directory. Why they didn't add a music volume control I don't know.
I also hated the delay between dying and being able to resume. Being pretty lousy in general at FPS games (slow reaction time + low framerate = bad news), I died quite frequently.
Interesting storyline, and a decent variation of gameplay - shooting turreted guns, stealth, shooting from a moving vehicle, and of course, melee attacks, though I found the latter to be of minimal use when your opponents have guns.
I couldn't imagine paying the full $50 for this game though. Maybe I was just spoiled by the Half Life games and their long playtimes. Granted, the episodes were much shorter, but they're also "episodes," and are cheaper than a full game.
