Call of Duty graphics

ive noticed that the graphics in mw2 seems to be better than black ops. i never understood this. i have black ops and used to have mw2. i think both games are great but i do like black ops better cuz it seems to be more straight up back to gun fighting action asopposed to all the killstreak and nootubing stuff in mw2. but i think my biggest dissapointment in black ops, other than the online lag and hit detection was the graphics. they are still pretty good, andit looks awesome and up to par, if not betterthan other COD games when in campaign mode,but mw2 just seems way more clean and crisp.

i dunno maybe its just me but it seems like they went back a step. black ops is the newer game but it seems uglier than mw2, and the online seems to have more lag and stuff too. i dont get it, dont they have the same technology as before? they had like 3 other COD games to learn from but still they seem to mess it up. i mean i love black ops and all, but i just dont get how the newer game can have crappier graphics. same with the online, i remember i would almost never have issues with lag or anything in mw2 and mw1, but in black ops i get a lot of that crap. not enough to make it unbearable and make me not want to playor anything, but definately noticeably more. i dunno what do u guys think?

All the graphics in COD games suck... MW2 was attractive on the surface, but when you walk close up to a wall/grass/foliage, they look shameful and aged.

To give credit, Call of Duty 2 and Modern Warfare looked fantastic when they came out, but I agree that close up the game has some major flaws.

Infinity Ward Treyarch Simple as that.MAILER_DAEMON

exactly.

Honestly, about the only thing they can do to improve these games (assuming that they will be using the same formula until the series dies) is take care of the graphics. The low res textures are painful when there are shooters with so much more polish out there.

Black Ops looks bad on PS3 because Treyarch doesn't know how to build PS3 games from the ground up. A port would of solved this issue.

Black ops actually looks really good on the 360, I traded my 360 version for a ps3 version, see what that got me.

Black Ops's graphics were medicore at best. There are so many shooters out there right now with far superior graphics.

The single-player's graphics are pretty good but the multiplayer's are average at best.

Killzone 3 does look great, but: 1. We are on a 360 forum, not a PS3 forum,sixgears2

[QUOTE="Cyb0rg360"][QUOTE="sixgears2"] Like what exactly? I struggle to think of any multiplayer shooter on console that looks any better than the CoD games (including Black Ops which runs on a different engine to ostensibly allow for larger maps to still perform at 60 FPS), and in fact I'd go so far as to say that most look substantially worse. It you want uber high res textures so that you can, for whatever reason, press your virtual face against a brick wall and see every tiny detail, you need to invest in a high end gaming PC. For most gamers, however, the resolution of a texture from 1" away makes no real difference as long as they look ok at a distance. In terms of visuals AND performance, no shooter can touch CoD. If I have to suck up a little texture pop or muddy res on a wall here or there to get that buttery 60 FPS, so be it. Would you rather have super high res graphics and framerates in the 20s?sixgears2

[QUOTE="sixgears2"][QUOTE="Cyb0rg360"] I'm going to guess, by your post, that you honestly think Killzone 3 or even 2 looks just as muddy as CoD? Wow. . .sirk1264

[QUOTE="sixgears2"]. Killzone 3 does look great, but: 1. We are on a 360 forum, not a PS3 forum, and besides I said I struggled to think of any not that none at all existed. I simply didn't consider KZ3 because it didn't face the same hardware constraints as a PS3 exclusive as CoD does as a multiplatform title. 2. I suspect you blew right past the "performance" part of my argument. As i said, in the total package performance is equally important as graphics. A few lower res textures for excellent performance is more than a fair trade. KZ3 almost never runs at over 30 FPS and I've seen it dive into the teens on numerous occasions when the room is full and a lot is going on. Next time read more carefully before you "wow" me. Everyone wants to jump on the CoD hate train these days whether or not it makes any sense. Sheesh.sixgears2

Just because it's not 60fps doesn't mean it performs badly. It performs just fine. I would take the destructible environments in BC2 or the SMART system in Brink over COD's frame rate.

I think the main problem seems to be, if I have it right, it is easier to make the games for the X-Box and then simply port them over to the Playstation, and it causes not just notible differences in frame rate (with certain games) but also again, with some game, notible differences in quality of graphics. I do not think it is down to the console, nor do I think one console is better than the others.

No Black Ops graphics aren't as good as MW2 but as long as I can see what im doing in it and its clear it's not really an issue.

Black Ops looks awful on the 360, much worse then how MW2 looked on both consoles. A much worse game all round.BigBoss255

You much have gotten punked versions of the games, because they looked great on my 360.

Modern Warfare 2 uses IW Engine 4.0 while Black Ops uses a modified IWE3, which is why MW2 looks and runs better. They also still run on the Quake 3 engine, thus they all still look like crap.

[QUOTE="sixgears2"]

[QUOTE="sirk1264"] One, you are on a ps3 forum and two, KZ3 looks better than Black Ops or any COD game to date period. Even Crysis 2 looks better than Black Ops. You need to realize where you are before making such bold and false statements.

All the COD games look the same.

yeah thats what i was getting at. COD is an awesome game and all, but i think they could do better in terms of graphics. well atleast match MW2. the newer game shouldnt have crappier graphics, even if it is from a different company or whatever. it still looks good though, i like black ops better than mw2 cuz of the gameplay.
