Can Call of Duty: MW2 beat Uncharted 2 to achieve the best graphics of 2009?

GB writes: "What a year it has been. And if we thought that the current year has ended for video games than you are very much mistaken. The holiday season is right around the corner and with games like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 unreleased so far, we don't really have a clear winner as to who will take the elite title of best graphics of 2009. So far Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is running the show. Many gamers have already give their judgment about the game; that its the 'game of the generation'. But Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is really looking like a stellar game which can give Uncharted 2 a good run for its money in the visuals department."

As long as it locks 60 fps, it's superior in my mind. I'll take framerate over "cinematic quality" any day. I prefer my games to play like the best game they can... not the best movie they can.

0.2 - Best graphics award
COD isn't even in the same league as Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2. I think Killzone 2 will win best graphics and game of the year will be Uncharted 2. But, MW2 may be able to beat Uncharted 2 for GOTY, I'm guessing it won't due to Uncharted beating it at E3

I have seen both, and MW 2 sure feels and looks a lot more intense then Uncharted 2, and its looking damn good that's for sure.

0.4 - let me get this straight
we all know that uncharted 2 gfx is better than mw2 of course but still mw is a great looking game that runs at 60fps,every game has its own look and feeling

mw2 and uncharted 2 are by far the 2 best games in this year,everyone knows that,to me I like mw better,im a cod 4 fanboy

....Imagine just Imagine that IW debut a new engine that match the quality of kz2,uncharted 2 or better,can you imagine how amazing this mw gonna be,cause to me IW is a bit more talented or on par with naughty dog and waaay more talented than gurella games(Like I said imagine cod with kz2 gfx,kz will not stand a chance)

0.7 - Dude, this isn't even close!
In some ways, Halo 3 and ODST look better than MW2 and that's saying a lot! Here's the comparison between the Halo, CoD and Uncharted 2 engines:

-Both have jaggies.
-Both run sub-HD.
-Both are out-dated and suck by todays standards.

-Halo's textures actually look pretty good up close.
-Halo's lighting is good and realistic.

-CoD's textures look pixely as hell within 15 feet of a wall.
-CoD's contrast is really messed up! A lot of things are way too bright or way to dark no matter what your TV settings are.

-U2's engine is just about perfect.
-NO jaggies.
-Native 720p.
-Awesome textures no matter how close or far you are.
-Superb lighting.
-Tons of detail everywhere.
-Very far draw-distance.
-The lists goes on and on...

The MW2 engine looked good in 2007 but it looked like crap compared the the 2008 games and it looks terrible compared to KZ2 and U2. It's not even close. I think even Drake's Fortune's graphics are better than MW2's.

Just give it up already and face the facts, you chose the wrong console and the wrong team to root for. Live with it and stop being a hater. Btw for someone who doesn't even own a Ps3 you sure love commenting on it.

I prefer the ps3 but at least I also own a 360. When you buy a Ps3 then I'll start taking you more seriously. Until then you sound like a virgin trying to talk about sex, you haven't a clue.

And I am sick of people bringing Crisis up everytime to compare with a Ps3 game. Don't you PC people have any other game besides a 3 year old game to use as a graphics benchmark? Since Crisis what other game can you hang your hat on? Seriously...

I was wowed by uncharted 2 graphics, but wasnt wowed by the cod4 mw2 graphics. MW2 is a great game though, you will enjoy its atmosphere, intensity, weapons, and direction. But graphically the only pro it has on uncharted 2 is the 60fps.

Since when did MW2 become a graphical knockout? I have seen a few recent shots and it looks pretty decent. Uncharted 2 quality? I'm going to disagree.

That's how websites like gamingbolt, N4G, IGN, Gamespot, etc. make a profit.

That is what I'm calling them for now on. Whoring yourself out for hits! Making an article of an opinion that you know is not true and you would never speak of in front of your friends, knowing they would laugh you out of the room; But for a couple of bucks from a few flamebait hits, they'll write anything!

You guys are unbelievable. Disagreeing with anyone who happens to think Modern Warfare 2 is superior to Uncharted 2 in the graphic department? Can't you f*cking respect each others opinions without acting like a group of girls?

I know I'm going to get tons of disagrees for this, but Uncharted 2 is nothing more than a glorified Gears of war clone with platforming and shall never be on the level of games like Halo, GTA IV or Gears due to it's lack of originality. The gameplay is jacked right from Gears, everything down to how the weapon select looks. It's sort of a mix of a bunch of games that already exist, and that's working against it. The amount of 10/10s it has gotten is ridiculous and makes me question humanity.

And I'm sorry, but Crysis 2 will obliterate Uncharted 2 in the graphic department. If you can't admit that, then you're a damn fool.

dude you should just make a new account man, you just rlly made ur self look rlly dumb. Its so sad to watch you this desperate to defend the 360 by using the PC and as for ShadowCK, he just has damage control. SO its normal to see stuff like that from him, I mean you just know he has it when he says GTA and Gears have originality. You clearly haven't been playing for long to have just said that or know nothing about gaming

"Funny how PS3 fans have no problem bringing up PC when talking about 360 "exclusives", yet when the graphics arguement is brought up, specifically Crysis, suddenly PC doesn't count."

That's because a PC has 8GB of ram. Try running Crysis on only 512MB of ram and see how sh*tty Crysis will look. And, had the PS3 have 8 GB of ram too, then Uncharted 2, utilizing those 8GB of ram, would beat all the non-living sh*t out of Crysis, and then proceed to force Crysis to eat it all.

"But but but MW2 renders at 60 fps"

It doesn't matter how many frames MW2 renders per second. MW2 can render at 1,000,000 frames per second, but those low resolution textures aren't going to look any better.

The gfx will look great, especially considering the game runs at 60 frames per second. Makes you wonder what the game had looked like if it ran at 30 fps, like UC2, KZ2 or GeoW2.

You cant compare the two, Uncharted 2 is way bigger and still looks perfect.

4 - Nah!!!! the game looks prett, minor upgrades to the same engine.
They've got to ditch that engine and start a new and take 3 years before they can hit it's stride. or they can licsense the Framework MT 2.0 from Capcom because it is the BEST 3rd part Midlleware engine out right now. It Looks hella better than the UE3 and COD4's engine.

the only other one i know tahtrivals that is Rage's Tech 5 from ID.

still None Comes close to uncharted 2's NDE2.0 with KZ's diferred Render engine in close second. I simply cant wait.

Still MW2 looks great.

6.3 - There is no need to do that.
Just go online and compare two screenshots of each game and you'll see. Uncharted 2 runs in native 720p while MW2 only upscales to that. I can't remember the exact number but MW2 runs in 644p or something strange number like that. Just by this alone there is no way to compare the two. Well if that's not enough than as I said just look at screenshots of both. You are intelligent enough to do that right? By doing this you will see what I mean.

Half life 2 on my pc runs on 1920 x 1080. So that makes it better than both..?

Modern Warfare 2 won't look better than UC2 in most people's eyes (it's subjective you know), but don't bring up ridiculous arguments.

Street date has been broken and I have my copy. Well technically I do. It's a really good game but the graphics are nowhere near uncharted 2, despite the different art directions and it's a multiplatform game it's not going to have the same or above influential graphics of uncharted 2 or even killzone 2.

that would be great if it did.
I thought it was already known (?????) that MW will not even run at 720p, by those pixel counters (???)

IMO, I highly doubt that MW will be better looking than UC2. At least from all I have seen so far..not even that close
