I'm nominating this article for featured article because... it's a good game? I don't get why we need to give a reason, considering that if we nominated an article, then it'd already imply that we hope that the article will be promoted to FA status. Anyways, I've already asked User:Ealdgyth to take a look at the links, so that should be better than usual. One thing that may come up during this nomination is the length of the Plot section; in my opinion, it's as short as it can be without removing any important events, and it is still shorter than some FA video game Plot sections, including Final Fantasy XII.

Comments Links work, sources look good. (Game Trailers is part of Spike TV, thus resolving the last issue from the PR). Ealdgyth - Talk 14:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose - This article is not comprehensive. The development section is not strong enough, by not really covering any of the development but covering marketing milestones instead. A good source of expansion would be Game Developer's March 2008 issue which features the Call of Duty 4 Post Mortem. Surely, the "Making Of" feature on the collector's edition would be of use here? There is no sales data (other than for the DLC), no breakdown on which formats were most popular, the popularity of the online game. You could also mention the piracy of the PC game,[1] the end credits song in the audio section,[2] and the aeroplane epilogue. - hahnchen 17:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

• Support - Despite Hahnchen's statement, I believe that the article is very good. I thought that the article would be a bunch of video game junkies coming together to create an unstable and confusing article, but instead, I got a mature and sophisticated one. Note: All of the links checked out OK. Limetolime ^{talk to me • look what I did!} 21:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  Thanks. I like to think that every once in a while, gamers can put down the controller for a few seconds to contribute to the article :) Also, I am still addressing Hahnchen (talk · contribs)'s comments. This is also an FYI to everyone else, so please do not post the same criticism that has already been posted above. Cheers. Gary King (talk) 21:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

• Support - Very informative, and unlike some game articles, the sections aren't unnecessarily long or surprisingly short. Just a bit more tweaking and it will be a great article. 24.6.160.190 (talk) 23:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
