Anybody that thinks music isn't a crucial element to a video game is largely being silly, or is superficially handicapping one of the their five major senses.  Activision knows this, and so they've hired on award-winning composer Harry Gregson-Williams to handle the main theme and music production on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  The entire soundtrack was performed and recorded by a full orchestra, largely at Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
