Introduction

Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter game, released in 2007 and developed by Infinity Ward.
The game is highly rated in general and considered by many to be the best Call of Duty game in the series. The game reached has been sold worldwide, and the top-selling point was at 2007, selling around 7 million copies by mid January.
The multiplayer section features both team-based and deathmatch-based modes on all maps available. When holding killstreaks, the player unlocks UAV reconnaissance scans (3), air strikes (5) and attack helicopters (7).
Everyone's progress is tracked with experience points, which can be earned by killing the opponents. As the playe gains experience, they will raise a level. The highest obtainable level is 55, but on consoles, they are allowed to enter "Prestige" mode, which returns them to the first level and no more unlockables. The process can be done 10 times to earn a new insignia each time.

Call of Duty 4 runs on the IW engine 3.0. The main differences are true world-dynamic lightning, dynamic shadows, HDR lightning effects and depth of field adjustment. Bullet penetration is calculated by the engine, and since the first time in the CoD series, they now account factors such as surface type and entity thickness. Bullet stopping power is decreased after penetrating an object, and the decrease is dependent on the thickness and surface type of the object. Resulting in a more realistic experience. The game also uses a dynamic physics engine, not previously seen in other CoD games.

Information

The IW engine 3.0 remains a heavily edited idTech3 engine. The best resource would be to study the Q3 SDK / source. However, there is a leaked PDB file available from the alpha builds at http://www.unknowncheats.me/downloads/downloads.php?do=file&id=7362. This file could be used as reference to speed up the reversing progress.
