Activision aware gamers want 'better-looking' Call of Duty

Bit late, are they only just realising this??? its doesnt need a tweaked engine, it needs an entirely new one.

Though graphics certainly are not the biggest issue with cod games.

btw not a hater, i just think for one of the best selling game series in history they are not giving us value for money.

I love how Call of Duty articles are getting the biggest number of comments. Shows how popular the franchise still is. Everyone seems to bother to drop a comment whether they hate the game or love it.Although haters seem to comment more. Probably because they believe their keyboard usage will change things they don't like or they're in dire need of solace without knowing it themselves. Because things seem to have gone from hating Call of Duty to being just butthurt about Call of Duty.

As long as its more optimized than the first Black Ops, which technically was a freaking mess.

activision...jesus if i here that name again my heads gonna(BOOM_______)

I couldn't care less about graphics because the game itself is good anyway.

BF3...HELLO! that game is awesome! no JPG clouds but actual animation! gamespot should have said....well if BF3 can upgrade so can you with all your billions of dollars!!! they have the DAM money to upgrade!

um vaultboy-101 30fps shrinks everything down, casts anything beyond a few yards into shadow and frankly at 1080p looks grainy. at 60 hell 40 or 50 the size and lighting across a map does not change. if it's six feet tall it's six feet tall, and you can see the dust on shoes through a scope and the expression on a face as well at 400 yards. so while games like bf3 have Superior sound due to the dolby system and attention to such detail, it is hard to adjust to the slower frame rate.

I'd prefer a game to run at 30fps if it meant the visual quality could be higher, it's a worthy trade off.

I can simply say,BOPS2'll be a,somewhat enhanced edition of BF:2142&Project:Snowblind..............tht means Endless streak of boring.I aint hating CODs either.it has gone all the same

Really? They couldn't be bothered to use a different engine? They wouldn't have even had to make a new one from scratch, just use something newer like Unreal Engine 3. You can only tweak the same thing so many times.

wow... raichou i could not agree anymore... modern warfare 2007 was a great shooter.. then! Now is the same.. just feels like an old catcher's mitt..... Not to say these stories or plots are are are soooo lame.... i can't explain it.. it is all eye-orgasm....

Like compare Original Golden Eye for it's time, Ninja Gaiden and How hard the game was. Bosses.. Lives.. ect.. then the tournament began.

Like i want precise gaming vs hundreds of people with great physics and as realistic as humanly possible.. graphics and bs no.. Story and Precision yes..

Halo is sooooo simple yet so masterful.. hmmm.

kill streaks are pretty toddler! just saying...

Grow up Call of Duty the first Medal of Honor was the best war game ever!!!! ..

I love it how they always mention their game running at 60 fps when BF3 came out and 60fps when people complained about graphics and now it is their excuse for not changing the graphics at all. I thought the trailer graphics looked worse than the original Black Ops and that is saying something. And the game has never run at 60fps for me. There are often framerate drops and half rendered objects all over the place.

Enhancements? It looks like the same engine to me. And wat, all this to maintain 60fps? Geez what a lame excuse. Its like saying "Oh we're going to keep using the Genie Engine (AOE2) for RTS games because it keeps the fps at 100 fps so it all runs smooth". Ridiculous. As a former CoD fan since the original CoD in 2003 who's stopped playing after WAW (and a little run at Black Ops), I am frankly appalled at the shape of the franchise these days (nothing more than a cheap money-grabbing recycled shooter for 16 yo's who dont know better). RIP CoD.

Why not just use cryengine 3? Tada! Lighting down, graphics down, physics down, runs smooth. Just have to make the game

60 fps is killing modern game engines

Really? Out of all the complaints about same gameplay, lack of evolution and stagnation, they get that people are pissed about the graphics? Activision, there is no hope for you.

All I want to do is play cod

bs

Really don't get all the fuss about this one. What were you expecting? Many people point out that it's the same game every year. Considering this it's quite weird that it still sells out every game. The fan base is the one thing Activision relies on and they won't disappoint. The game would need a really good campaign an overhaul of the engine, or just use another engine, some gameplay changes and well limiting perks in the multiplayer. In CoD4 you had 3 killstreak rewards a few perks and that's it. The killsteaks and perks never gave you a huge advantage over your opponents. In MW2 there were perks which overpowered you not to mention killstreaks. One map if you got spawn trapped you were stuck there until the chopper went away :)). Time for a smoke :)) and than get back to the game. So it's very nice that they want to keep it 60FPS. It would also be time for new consoles and for me to buy some new hardware for my PC. The advancements made to GPU and CPU performance is just amazing and if Sony and Microsoft decide to bring out the new consoles soon we'll be seeing graphics upgrades for every franchise.

Activision won't overhaul the graphics and it's the end of this story. Maybe if their sales go way down with BO2. Just maybe they'll make some changes.

I'm sticking to BF3 at the moment and waiting on Max Payne 3 and Ghost Recon.

I think its funny that people always bag on Call of duty and yet they will bye and there only excuse will be I just wanted to see how much it sucked lol. Or play zombies ;)

But I must admit I liked the first black ops way more than MW so I will have to wait and see I mean we all knew it was a matter of time before they went futuristic I was hoping more like a star trek kind of future hahah.
