News: The futuristic further adventures of Infinity Ward are coming to next-gen consoles too.

While it was assumed that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare would be appearing on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in addition to the PC, it was confirmed today by Activision.

The developers are obviously excited:

?Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the most intense, visceral title we've ever created,? says Jason West, co-studio head and project lead, Infinity Ward. ?The single player campaign is a well-paced, non-stop action experience. As the story unfolds, the player is introduced to new gameplay at every turn ? one moment you are fast-roping from your Blackhawk helicopter after storming into the war zone with an armada of choppers, the next you are a sniper, under concealment, in a Ghillie suit miles behind enemy lines, the next you are engaging hostiles from an AC-130 gunship thousands of feet above the battlefield.?

Infinity Ward is also very proud of the technology that will power the game:

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare delivers amazing special effects, including use of depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, real time post-processing, texture streaming as well as physics-enabled effects to enlist players into the most photo-realistic gaming experience. Combined with Call of Duty's award-winning audio design, players will face war as never before.

Activision further revealed that the multiplayer portion of COD4 will be created by a dedicated team within Infinity Ward and that the game will be ready on all three platforms by the fall.

We'll have more on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare soon.
