The multi-player mode in Call Of Duty 4 is one of the best online gaming experiences available. There are 15 different game modes and maps, which see you having to work as a team to get objectives done, or being left to your own devices in the "Free for all" game mode.

Ranking System

Call of Duty 4's ranking system is based on acquiring experiencing points (XP) in the game's various play lists and game types. Players can obtain XP by getting kills as well as performing other objectives, depending on the game type. These may include planting explosives or capturing objective points on the map. There are also challenges the player can perform in-game that vary from getting a certain number of kills or head shots with a certain weapon to completing other objectives. These challenges can offer XP as well attachments for weapons. As you rank up you earn Perks that aid you in battle.

Call of Duty 4 starts with 55 levels. When a player reaches the maximum level, they are given the option of going through Prestige Mode. If the player accepts, Prestige Mode will reset the player's level, weapons, and challenges. The player can then play through multi-player again, leveling up and unlocking weapons. Prestige Mode also changes the player's rank insignia to a different medal. The player can enter Prestige Mode up to ten times, each giving the player a different medal for an insignia.

Trivia

• Cpt. Price, a British character in Call of Duty, United Offensive, and Call of Duty 2, is often mistaken for returning in Call of Duty 4. If he did so, he would be at least 87 years old at the time of combat (provided that he was 20 in 1943 and CoD4 takes place in 2010). A different Price appears.
• Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the only Call of Duty game to date to be rated "M" by the ESRB.
