The highly anticipated COD4: Modern Warfare clone has finally been released on the appstore.

There was a short delay, with the game expected last week. But it’s here and we’ll have a review up soon. The game is out for $6.99

• 10 missions featuring varied and highly polished Middle Eastern environments (city, hospital, sewers, port, lab, training camp etc…)
• Intuitive iPhone controls offer unprecedented game fluidity. Choose among 3 different control systems: Default Controls, Screen Tap and Virtual Sticks
• Use a wide range of authentic, advanced weapons (2 assault rifles, sniper rifle, RPG, shotgun, submachine gun, light machine gun, heavy machine gun mounted on a moving 4X4, explosive grenades, flashbang grenades, radiation detector) enriched with a leveling system that allows the player to progressively unlock weapons and use munitions from fallen foes
• Aim and shoot with extra precision in Sniper and Ironsight mode
• Highly polished 3D graphics provide full immersion into the military experience and high intensity combat
• Cinematic snippets, military voice-overs and true-to-life situations increase game realism

Don’t forget we are Gameloft’s UK offices tomorrow for previews of Shrek Kart, Asphalt 5 and Earthworm Jim. So look out for impressions on those tomorrow.

I just launched the game, controls feel pretty swell. I do keep hitting the damn fire button though.

I’ve just played through 3 stages. Very impressive, smooth as glass on my 2g ipod. I was worried about such a polished game having problems if it’s not 3gs since gangstar glitches a bit, but this game has minimum lag. The controls feel great, almost feels like I’m playing a shooter on the ps3. I didn’t have a problem hitting the fire button like Dan reported though.
Def worth the $7 tag.
