With the likes of Halo 3, BioShock, BlackSite: Area 51, Medal of Honor: Airborne, Clive Barker's Jericho, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption all inbound to target, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has its work cut out in the FPS genre. Can it rise to the top amid such hot competition? Take a look at these latest screenies and make your own decisions.

Activision has just released a fresh batch of screenshots for the fourth entry in the Call of Duty series, subtitled Modern Warfare - and they look jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

The title's plot is told from the perspectives of a British SAS operative, a Russian Spetsnaz commando, and American Force Recon Marines and Navy SEALs in the Middle East. They follow the evil intentions of Zakhaev, a Russian nationalist intent on re-claiming his homeland as a Soviet state. Obviously the UK and US do not want this to happen, and so they all sit down with a cup of tea and a biscuit to sort things out in a calm and democratic manner. Not really - much warring commences.
