New Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Screenshots

Playstation University has just uploaded a couple new screenshots of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

[drdistracto707]

I'm not impressed

I will still get the game for sure! But every game looks like Sh*t now that I've played UC2

[table]

I wouldn't say it looks like sh*t, it still looks pretty good. People are getting spoilt with graphics these days so if a game doesn't look the best it for some reason gets slated. Now, I'm not a fan of the CoD series but I'm getting tired of people pretending that the graphics are the most important aspect of a game. I get the feeling that most people round here never played a ps1 or a nintendo system, if they did they wouldn't cry about these graphics not being the very best.

[DK_Kithuni_71]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to me. Not good enough for me. In fact I liked Call of Duty: World at War better anyway. Not getting this game. Maybe later from the bargain bin.

[champ21]

welcome back to MW1.. just with new maps.

this should have been an expansion pack, a 5-6hr SP campaign with new maps is in no way worth 59usd.

imo a map pack shouldnt cost more then 29usd.

[Winter47th]

PS3 owners' expectations were set too high these last couple'a years, can't blame'em, this'll do well on the 360 since it's pretty much the same game but re-skinned, because if ODST's anything to go by, they'd buy anything.

"Grown ups on xbox live"

this is like

SUPER FAIL
lol

[mal_tez92]

There's no reason that it won't be good, but I haven't been that excited for it judging by what I've been seeing. I do know that the multiplayer will be easy again, with simple aiming, shooting and killing; making it accessible to many new players. While still being engaging enough to satisfy hardcore shooters.

The problem with Killzone 2 was that while I enjoyed it a lot more as it was much more immersive with better aiming and shooting, many new players and less hardcore players found it a bit intimidating and hard to get into. Also, weapon damage could have been a bit higher.

While I enjoyed Killzone's gameplay a lot more, I understand why Call of Duty is liked more by people who aren't enthusiasts such as myself, and just want some simple killing.

Hopefully Modern Warfare 2 stretches a bit more into the hardcore side than its predecessor, but at least I know I'll enjoy it.

But still, graphics could be better, but are good enough to enjoy.

[4Sh0w]

This game looks awesome, I own a ps3 and I'm going to be picking up UC2 soon, but I'd put these screens next to any UC2 screens not that they should be compared, but MW2 holds up great compared to any game. Then again it wasnt until I saw Crysis running on a friends super rig that I saw a huge difference in graphics where I could really say it blows console games graphics away, and since then I think the gap has closed slighty with current games, last I checked I had normal vision and alot games graphics on both consoles look great, I dont see much difference, prefernce plays a big part in which is better.

[Sarcasm]

"Modern Warfare 2 is for Grown ups on xbox live. "

Ah I see. So in Xbox Land, grown ups actually have squeaky 12 year old voices. That makes sense.

[t850]

@4show

forget comparing it to anything else.

compare it to MW1... which is a 2yr old game now.

unless you arent blind.. you wont see much of a difference.

where is the progress activision? we are paying 60usd for this... i want to see progress. why charge so much just for new maps?

[jcgamer]

lol

[Doc Sony]

...and a map :P

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

;-D

[The Creep]

dont forget this is at 60 fps and uncharted is at 30 fps

[NegativeCreepWA]

A whole only squeaky teenagers play on live is is a load of crap, just as many play on PSN go play some Uncharted online and then tell me otherwise.

[raztad]

Come on guys lets be fair.

Game looks good enough. It's not having a big leap as UC did but I doubt MW fans really care about that. I'm saying this because we had TWO threads about Insomniac games: Resistance and R&c:ACiT, and I think the majority agreed that new installations should satisfy its fans. Thats all that matters.

In my case I preordered (and paid in full) ACiT which has a new storyline, puzzles mechanics but visually is more or less the same ToD. I'm not complaining though. R&C is awesome and ToD looks great enough.

[Ausbo]

Both systems have little kids.
The only difference is mics come with every xbox and very few people on psn have mics

[mikeslemonade]

Yea the game visually not impressive, but will be fun because this is what everyone is going to be playing this holiday season. If more games were PS3 exclusive these games would look so much better.

[DiffusionE]

You mean, "If more games were PC exclusive, they would look so much better".....lol

But hey, I agree. Exclusive games do look much better than multiplats in whatever platform they are on.

[champ21]

graphics are now at a halt due to console limitations.

ps3 might have a little more juice then the 360.. or it might not.. their gpus are very simular in power, hense even if the ps3 did out do the 360 it will be by a small margin, vice versa.

Pc is the only platform which can allow true jump in terms of graphics.

[mal_tez92]

Although I disagree with DiffusionE and all PC fanboys when they say things like "no console can ever be as good as a PC ever" or that "PC will always be better than consoles and owning a console is pointless."

While it is true that a PC 'CAN' outperform a console; this is not true for ALL PC's. A high quality gaming computer will be better than a console, but an average PC will be outperformed by consoles. While good PC's will most likely be ahead of consoles, it is ignorant to say that PC gaming in general is better.

All in all, I am having a stupid boring rant because my PC isn't as good as my playstation.

Edit: @below
I do agree with you, but it still annoys me when PC gaming is touted as making consoles obsolete. I said that I know it is better with a good computer, but ignoring consoles just isn't right.

Also, Uncharted 2 is a huge leap graphically over Drake's Fortune; with the Tank, Helicopter, Convoy, Train and chase scenes really showing this upgrade.

Killzone 2, MGS4, and both Uncharted games put my computer to shame, I think am in need of a New graphics card, can you recommend one?
A cheap one preferrably, right now I have a 1GB 4650 that struggles with most games, even at low settings and resolutions.

[champ21]

even a midrange pc now outperforms any console multiple times...

whats your point?

consoles just dont have the horse power to enable developers to give a jump in graphics.

while xbox doesnt have any good exclusives so i wont bother commmenting on it.

for the ps3 it is evident games like uncharted 2 doesnt look much better then uncharted 1.

the limited hardware doesnt magically become stronger over the years.. hence we wont see a TRUE jump in graphics till next gen of consoles come out.

it now only takes a 150usd gpu to supercharge a 2yr old pc to out do any console in terms of power, this just shows how much the gpus on the consoles have aged.

[Lord_Ranos]

Cant wait to play this on my PS3.

[Major Kanimo]

must....boy........cott....... .........I GIVE UP IM BUYING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrv321]

We sure ar egetting closer to this 720p thing.

I am buying this game used as should most people who like gaming.

[t850]

its still 600p on consoles.

if consoles had more juice.. its not hard ressing it upto 720p or even 1080p for that matter.

it just shows console limitations.. and why we are not seeing better graphics.

this game just looks like mw1.

lol at the fanboys disagreeing.. if consoles still have a lot more left in them... then why not render the game at 720p, why fall back to sub hd?

anyone with a bit of logic will have the answer.. consoles have reached their limit and small optimisations wont be enough to see a graphics jump. We need more powerful consoles thats the only way a next jump in graphics will be seen.

When i say JUMP.. i mean a clear difference. What crysis look like now at max settings is a clear jump from this game.

[mrv321]

So your saying no game on any console runs at 720p or above at 60FPS? Only the PC can do that right.

[t850]

nope i am not saying that.

i am specifically talking about mw2.

if consoles had the juice.. then there was no reason for the developers to run it at 600p.

why not bump it to 720p or beyond?

good optimisations might lead a firstparty game to become 1080p.. though those are far and few in between. lets take the ps3 as an example, there are about 300games out on the ps3 now.. about only 20 of them do 1080p. thats less then 10%

so with good optimisations a game will hit 720... however optimisations alone are not enough to see a great jump in graphics.. which is why mw2 more or less looks just like mw1.. i could bet right now 2 years later when mw3 is out.. it will still look just like mw1.

essentially until the next console comes out we wont see games like crysis on console... its just not going to happen.. there isnt enough horse power for it.

[Software_Lover]

Because all screenshots look good. Hell I could max out Crysis on my pc and get a good screenshot.................... .......but the game would be running at 10fps, LOL.

Uber graphics mean nothing to me. Do they help, sometimes. But people are so quick to write off game A because it doesn't look better than game B.

[qwertyuiopasdfghjkl]

When I see some screenshots showing off their server lists and filters.

Matchmaking is killing my favorite pastime.

[cyclindk]

Seriously, and they BETTER get some dedicated servers for this sucker; they sell more than any other fps and they can't afford to make that experience for all those people as seamless and lag free as possible?

[TheMART]

Damn there are some semi retarded gamers on this website:

"
PM
Track
Ignore
1.3 - Looks like more of the same old
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to me. Not good enough for me. In fact I liked Call of Duty: World at War better anyway. Not getting this game. Maybe later from the bargain bin."

First, the same engine as COD4, but details and textures have been upgraded as physics are. KZ3 will use KZ2 engine, will have the same kind of evolution, expect no revolution using a same engine. Building a completely new engine would take longer then 2 years to get the game done, more close to 4 years which is impossible.

Second, if you liked WaW better, then you're a sorry ass gamer hahaha that wasn't as much of a game as COD4, single player and multi player that is. Treyarch just isn't up to the level of Infinity Ward, period.

Those people negative about MW2 are:

1. PC gamers that cry about the non dedicated servers
2. PS3 gamers that feel the need to only support their exclusive games, in this case Uncharted 2, they need to say they like that only and dislike all other great games coming out in the same time frame. Same happened around the release of KZ2 and other PS3 exclusives.

Pathetic. This game looks great, a lot has been improved over COD4, for example the texture streaming and November will bring a blockbuster game that rivals the best games out there. Eat it.

[DavidMacDougall]

I totally agree it not worth £40.

[mal_tez92]

But World at War was disappointing.

[Lord_Ranos]

You like the game cause your use to playing crap multipllatform on your sh1tbox, cause it has no games. Still Im gonna get this om my PS3. WE PS3 owners get to play our AAAA exclsives and great multiplatforms while the BOTS will be playing multiplatfrms cause they dont have exclusives.

[TheMART]

Ah look at the PS3 kid above me. So cute aaaawwwww

Listen mate, I own a 360, Wii and PS3. I just finished Uncharted 2, so what the hell are you talking about? I am playing ALL great games. Exclusives on both PS3 and 360 and the best versions of the multiplatform games that are always on the 360 while the PS3 gets shafted with a bad port.

So what the hell are you talking about as a retarded one console gamer?

EDIT

and just for your knowledge, the 360 has Halo: ODST, Forza 3 and L4D2 as exclusives (the last one console exclusive), so thats 3 exclusives where the PS3 also got three ones worth mentioning KZ2, inFamous and Uncharted 2. Clearly you are the one here not playing games, but consoles.

[Lord_Ranos]

Imtalking that your such a dumbass thinking that xbox is better. Anyways if you have a PS3 and Wii thats cool but an Xbox is bullsh1t.
Besides if I want to play some Sh1tbox exclusives I go to my cousins tom play those thrash games. Also PS3 multiplatforms have change they dont look worse than the trashboxes version.

[digger18]

TheMart, so you got COD4 for the PS3 then, since it was the better version.

http://www.dailygame.net/ne...

"With that said, the console similarities end when it comes to textures, lighting and resolutions, because those three areas make the PlayStation 3 version definitely excel over the Xbox 360 SKU"

Edit: thats total bollox Mart, I had both versions and the textures were higher on the PS3 version. If your going by online screen shots, then you will always fail, as they don't tell the whole truth.

When capturing from component cables, the PS3 always looks blurry and miles different on HDMI.

So, I guess you fail yet again, as usual

[TheMART]

Ah see the kid below go in overdrive again:

"Also PS3 multiplatforms have change they dont look worse than the trashboxes version."

Sorry to say so, but about every single multiplatform game, even releasing today, look a LOT worse on the POS3.

Ghostbusters, Brutal Legend, Bayonetta (go play both demo's, the PS3 version has framerate problems, the lightning is facked up, the textures are lower quality, PS3 versions are washed out etc etc), Rage has problems on PS3 with 20 to 30 fps instead of 60fps the 360 is running the game in development ATM, you name the game and the better version is on the 360. You FAIL

See the gametrailers comparison for Bayonetta for example
http://www.gametrailers.com...

Eurogamer comparison nr. 21
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

EDIT

@ Digger

No, COD4 was better on the 360 also. The textures on the PS3 were of less quality, when zoomed in it was very clear. It had the blur and washed out stuff every PS3 game has. Textures and lightning, both better on the 360. To bad Digger you FAIL also

[Saaking]

mart, what is MW2 bringing to the table??? KZ2 got slammed for "Not bringing anything" yet it probably will have brought more than MW2. Face it, MW 2 is just a slightly upgrade MW designed to rip-off the customer. It's just like Flopza 3, the same game repackaged to sold again. It's a joke. You want the best FPS this year? That would be KZ2.

[champ21]

best FPS this year would be L4D2 running on the pc ;-)

mouse keyboard > all for fps

[ambientFLIER]

Nice job pulling out a review from some garbage site...Too bad all the major sites like IGN said the game looked identical on both platforms. Anyway, how can the PS3 version excel in resolution, when they are both 600p?

[cyclindk]

With all of the other games coming out, MW2 is looking a lot less appealing for 60 bucks..

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...it won't win anything on looks then!!! ;-D

+ After you play KillZone 2 + Uncharted 2 + MGS4 + LBP(+a few other PS3 ONLY Games)every Multi-format game looks like SH!T!!! + I didn't get the last COD game got boring after number 4. I might get this next year 2nd hand off ebay!!! ;-D I got to much to play really;)

[WIIIS1]

I thought UC2 was good, but this takes the cake.

[DJ]

In terms of graphics technology and quality. But it's multiplatform, so it's pretty much expected at this point.

[neonlight45]

Guess that one guy was right who said every multiplat game coming out after Uncharted 2 will look like crap. My personal experience Brutal Legend.

[meetajhu]

The game is going to suck big time. Most horrible FPS

[DJ]

But at least it'll be fun. PS3 exclusives are starting to spoil me.

[InLaLaLand]

after playing Killzone 2, I stopped playing COD altogether. Yeah everyones entitled to an opinion but the Rock will get disagrees for saying what he just said.

IF YA SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING.

[nskinnear]

The textures do look awful, but this series has always been about the gameplay anyway...

[CobraKai]

I wish this game was running in HD.

[IQUITN4G]

i have honestly in all my time here on N4G, never heard so much bollocks about what is hardly shabby visuals here

And it's all running at 60 frames.Imagine what they could get it to look like at 30

You guys are talking utter sh!te about this perfectly good looking game

And on top of that, a lot of you are also saying it's basically going to be a load of rubbish anyway - highly unlikely and in any case it's not like you'd you'd know the difference between good and bad games if going by your opinion is of this

I'm guessing it's because of multi format that the graphics look so shockingly poor to you

Yup what an embarrassing bunch

[Barcefut-09]

W@W was crap, i bought it and stopped playing it after like 30 minutes. MW2 is gonna be great

[Bumpmapping]

IW should go back to the drawing board.

[Lilith_Belial]

it's Sev...he's so cool he can actually show up in two different franchises :D

[harshtruth]

They aren't even gameplay most likely... activision is the king of not showing actual gameplay footage

[horndog]

I also feel that the whole "uc 2 has spoiled me" BS is getting old. I have played UC 2 and crysis. First of all Crysis which is an old game looks better than UC2. So cut the Sh** and stop pretending like its the best thing out there. Yes it comes at a hefty price but it is the better looking of the two. Having played both games i can honestly say that MW2 looks hot. If those are 360 pics I can only imagine what it will look like on my p.c. It's on this Nov.
