Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare Game Review

CoD4 (Call of Duty 4) has all the criteria of an award-winning first person shooter, complete with riveting action, solid storyline and a diverse scenario to keep gamers anticipating and anxious for more. The game deserve the 'Game of The Year' title, if Metal Solid Gear 4 had not budgeted in :)

The game begins with 22nd SAS Regiment member Captain Price guiding your opening character, Sergeant John 'Soap' MacTavish, thought a brief training mission to infiltrate a cargo ship. Once you pick up an important data, enemy jets rush in for an attach, forcing you, Captain Price and the platoon to scramble off the ship with it start to sink, with fire blazing around you. And that is just the beginning.

CoD4 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) has a nice way of telling the story. Rather than going through cut scene and subtext, developer Infinity Ward give gamer a first-person view of the missions.

For instance, right after the cargo ship incident, you will be shown a scene where foreigner leader is being beaten up and carried into a car. Here gamer see the action from captive's eyes. You will get to witness all the atrocities unleash by the rebel through you city.

At your destination, you are introduced to Al-Asad, the revolution leader who walks up to you, point a gun in your face and shoot. Now, that is a powerful start. That is not all, If you have ever wondered how it feel like seeing city decimate by a nuclear device from the back of helicopter, well this is your lucky day. The sequence is just so realistic with the panicked pilot on radio and your helicopter spiraling to ground with the aftershock. I still get chills watching that.

There is also a mission which has you in control of high-caliber machine guns and cannons on a souped-up B-52 Bomber, aptly named Death From Above, blowing enemy infantry away so a friendly platoon can get through the area.

The best thing about CoD4 (Call of Duty 4) is the way they show you objectives. On screen, there will be a compass where a yellow marker point towards your objective and a distance meter to tell you how far you from it. Even with all that, you find that you are lost, just list to your radio and you will hear your commanding officer barking orders on what to do next.

The single player mode sets you back six to seven hours with difficulty levels ranging from pansy to veteran to choose from but if you have four other controllers, you can team up with your pals on splits screen excursions with mission separate from single player mode.

Graphically, CoD4 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) captures the environment of war-town town, wet and dark jungle, dry and dusty field, coupled with the constant chatter on the radio, the realistic blast of bomb and the sound of bullets whizzing past, the game comprehensively takes you into a war zone

The Digital Linear Backup Tape Technology DLT

Digital Linear Tape DLT was previously known as CompacTape. DLT is a magnetic tape media data storage technology. The DLT tape was introduced and developed by Digital Equipment Corporation DEC from 1984 onwards. Quantum purchased the DLT technology in 1994. Quantum Corporation currently manufactures the drives and licenses the trademark and technology. The new and higher capacity version of DLT tape is called the SDLT Super DLT.

DLT Technology is thriving as one of the most successful, widely-available technology platforms ever built. Over 3.3 million drives and over 130 million media cartridges have been shipped to date. DLT drives are recognized worldwide as the industry standard. In fact, 98% of FORTUNE 500 businesses trust their mission-critical data to DLT Technology. DLT Technology provides a variety of automation-ready solutions suited to the business continuity needs.

DLT uses linear serpentine recording with multiple tracks on half-inch (12.7 mm) wide tape. The cartridges contain a single reel. The tape is pulled out of the cartridge by means of a leader tape attached to the takeup reel inside the drive.

During the load process the drive leader tape is buckled to the cartridge leader.

The tape speed and tension are controlled electronically via the reel motors and there is no capstan. The tape is guided by 4 to 6 rollers. These rollers only touch the back side of the tape and the tape material is metal particle tape (MP/AMP)

The SDLT backup tape has an optical servo system that reads servo patterns on the back of the tape, in order to keep the data tracks on the front of the tape correctly aligned with the read/write heads. This is important for newer tape media, which have very thin dense data tracks; 256, 384 and 768 data tracks on a half inch wide tapes are now common. DLT7000 and 8000 tilt the head backward and forward to reduce crosstalk between adjacent tracks through azimuth. This process is called Symmetric Phase Recording

All SDLT drives support hardware data compression. The most commonly used compression factor is of 2:1. This compression is generally only achievable for text data. 1.3:1 to 1.5:1 is a more realistic factor across a file system. The drive compression applied to pre-compressed data can actually make the written data larger than having compression turned off in the tape drive. Current manufacturers of cartridges for the DLT SDLT backup tape media cartridges market are Fujifilm, IBM, HP, Quantum, Sony, Maxell and Imation. VStape is made by Sony. The DLT backup tape uses the WORM Write Once Read Many technology. A new naming convention took effect in 2005, calling the performance line DLT-S and the value line DLT-V
