Well, after borowing a few PC Games from friends I've now got COD4, And Half-Life.. games :s
I've not been playing Half-life too much but I've really been enjoying COD4 and come up with that its great! But the single player is very linear and repetetive. By linear I mean that if you fail a mission you can tell where people come out and when they will so sometimes gets boring.
It's a great game and I might come up with a review later.

In gaming terms it means unimaginative level design that leads you down one straight, pre-determined path. Either that or a story path which doesn't branch out.
I agree that COD4 is linear, but it's because of unimaginative level design, not that mission failure stuff.
