Modern Warfare 3 Vs MW2: AC-130 graphics comparison

Product-Reviews writes: Whatever your feelings may be towards the franchise, you have to say that AC-130 visuals are looking fantastic in the game, especially when you compare it to the same air support in Modern Warfare 2. We have added one screenshot showing the AC-130 on the Paris level below, and also an AC-130 screenshot from Modern Warfare 2 which will give you an idea on Infinity Ward’s graphics improvements.

Best comparison ever .

sarcasm

decrypt4603d ago

Why all the complaining?

Anyone looking for a smooth first person shooter on console has a very limited choice. In fact its either Halo or its COD or maybe Rage, there isnt another FPS on console that runs at 60fps.

Console gaming by nature is full of compromises you either chose so so graphics and go with 30fps and 720p or below, Or you go with 630p and really crappy graphics with 60fps game play.

Since most console gamers say gameplay > graphics i suppose COD sales make sense. The ones complaining here are a minority.

mugoldeneagle034603d ago

Your "minority" is bigger than you think. I've disliked the last few CoD's, aside from Black Ops which I thought was at least more balanced. The sole reason for getting it is because I have 10+ friends that buy it every year, and I'll take playing with friends over anything else...even if its for 2-3 months.

And trust me, sales for COD are NOT because of Gameplay > Graphics, but almost all marketing.

The Math:

Create a easy shooter + make rounds quick so people are constantly in the action + spend a shit ton of money marketing = a easily accessible game that sells

Working in retail the last few years, I can tell you that the number of parents that buy this for their kids with the addition of new comers (mostly in mid 30's-40's) who purchase it just because of name alone are far greater than the COD hardcore who buy this for gameplay.

I'll pick up MW3 this fall alongside BF3 because I know I'll have plenty of people to play with, but I think we all know what to expect of MW3...

Ezio20484605d ago

dont care about the comparison as such...
i am getting MW3 day 1.

You, me and about 5 million others buddy. Can't wait!

The MW3 ac130 pic is from the singleplayer campaign pretty sure about that.

Heartnet4604d ago

aye said so in the description :) but that wont matter :) graphcis still the same in single and multiplayer soo

josephayal4604d ago

Best GRAPHICS of this GEN, wow wow looks incredible! Day 1!!!

Rainstorm814604d ago

u may have forgot the sarcasm tag

Rettom4604d ago

I don't think he is being sarcastic... :/

Poor boy

tr00p3r4604d ago

Perhaps he forgot to check out Caspian Border on Battlefield 3 for PC. :-)

NarooN4604d ago

Best gfx of this gen?

Really?

It looks the same as CoD4...And that game wasn't ground-breaking when it came out. Many other games on the console surpass CoD easily, let alone other games on the PC surpassing it with ease on low settings lol.

Seriously, if this guy is serious, then I just don't even know anymore.

Heartnet4604d ago

looks nothing like CoD4... looks like MW2 but deffo not mw1

Kleptic4604d ago (Edited 4604d ago )

yeah CoD4 definitely has its own look...Much more filtered and 'colder' looking...which I always preferred over MW2...

MW3 looks nearly identical to MW2 entirely...and does not go back to the original color pallet of the first modern warfare...

naroon: CoD4 definitely WAS ground breaking visually when it released...Crysis may have taken the visual crown in 2007, but that was a generation ahead, in a lot of ways, of anything released almost until now...let alone 2007...CoD 4's only true competition in the genre was halo 3...which was visually a joke in comparison...

it still looks good to this day...but when it came out it definitely stood alone other than one other shooter...in a sea of them...

JBaby3434604d ago

Excellent comment Kleptic. I remember when COD4 came it and it was a HUGE deal because of how good it looked. I was eventually surpassed but at the time it was the best military shooter I had seen and was the first game I can remember to bring parity between the two consoles graphically since all other multiplats up until then were seriously downgraded on the PS3.

COD4 was great fun but since then they have done little to improve on the series so I don't pay attention to COD games anymore.

Noticeably_FAT4603d ago

I really have to disagree, I mean I'm not a graphics whore but I cant go back and play COD4 because it looks so out of date. So the new COD games look nothing like COD4.

I'm excited for the new game, I'm hopeful they have learned their lessons from MW2 and I mostly care about them getting the gameplay right.

NarooN4603d ago

When CoD4 came out in 07, it wasn't groundbreaking. Maybe to console-only gamers, but even then there were titles with better visuals than CoD4 out. Hell, Doom 3 maxed out looked better than CoD4, and don't even get me started on Doom 3 with mods enabled, really puts CoD to shame then.

When I said it looks like CoD4, I meant in terms of overall style, not the color palettes and filters. CoD4 definitely has its own look due to that, but it would be more accurate overall to say it looks just like MW2 (which it does, I see literally no visual improvement over MW2 with MW3).

cooperdnizzle4603d ago

Kleptic, you are crazy. Killzone came out and killed call of duty. Also Metro 2033, on the pc and 360 came out and had better tech then call of duty. I think you should take off the fanboy glasses. lol. Not attacking you just giving my opinion, i don't want to get my account suspended again for nothing. So i just want to make that clear. Good day..... I said good day.

ambientFLIER4603d ago

I am not a PC gamer, so when I first saw COD4 running on my xbox and HDTV in 2007, I was blown away. The ghillie mission and the way Price disappeared in the camo while pressing against a tree...wow.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons39d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac39d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2337d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher53d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris53d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera53d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii53d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts52d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX52d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos53d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast53d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
