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

why not ask EA to borrow Frostbite 2.........

Better graphics + updated engine = mw3 They need a new engine.. stop tweaking the old ones lazy buggers...

your aware we want better graphics? when will you become aware we want a better game? when i put in black ops 2 i just want to not think im playing cod4.

Activision is such a faithful company that does everything to fufill consumers' needs.

Yeah, right.

We want this crap game close!

if they made the COD games for the PC first(like they use to), instead of the consoles, there wouldnt be a problem with better graphics.I have an nvidea GTX 570 graphic card and there are no games out there that even challenges this card.Only the Crysis and STALKER games really make this card work(especially crysis1 and warhead, but these games are over 5 yrs old)Now nvidea has a new graphic card series(GTX 6) which has tremendous graphic power and it needs games in order to give reason for its existence!Maybe it needs Black Ops II.

Here I was thinking most people wanted a better CoD in general.

better CONTENT; if more games had that I wouldn't have so much time to troll forums

He said about "the trick" of improving the game graphics, but i dont want a game that looks good in some aspects, i want a game that can satisfy me in every way.

Is it wrong of me to laugh that they're focusing on improving the graphics rather than the gameplay?

It's good to hear that the new COD game will actually improve on graphics for once. MW3 looked like a cartoon and exactly the same as MW2. With the Frostbite 2 engine out, they definately have to improve.

TOO LATE! I am done with COD. Bought every single one EVER made. regretted buying Black Ops 1. REALLY regretted MW3. I will not waste my money a 3rd time. and the sad thing is I cant even rely on the reviews since two of the worst game I have ever played. Black ops and MW3 got 9 or higher.

Yeah I'd prefer some dip in graphical quality for a consistent 60 FPS. No complaints on that front.

The same graphic engine? With my current rig I get like 200 FPS.... BTW looks like carp :P

Consoles are already being pushed to their maximum, I don't see how any developer can make better looking games without going PC and making games generations ahead of consoles graphically.

Looking forward to it.

They're only doing it because they have no choice. Obviously the sales aren't the amount they wanted so they do the logical thing. I still don't want any more CoD's though, lol. Never again.

Sounds like they're finally starting to make changes. It's a good start for sure.

I'm sure they're aware of every complaint gamers have. The question is whether they give a crap or not (I tend to think "not").

right id love for a trifecta campaign.. encluding the first half and second for the Bl/\CKOPs campaigns to tie the story in. and how about a zombie campaign.. its all ready loony toony online with moon the space walk.. you can do anything you want in that direction but even keep it possibly real. sliding into cover would be cool.. dry firing over cover would be cool. a more real ambiance to the game. Character building.. so we can relate.. or unrelate.. or feel what they are feeling.. to this day.. Medal Of Honors new release for ps3 had the best campaign.. even though it wasnt very long with actual people and events.. right history with this one trey arch make us remember black ops 2.. the only intruging video ive seen about it is the documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJHZuCB7p6s&feature=g-vrec

I'm fine with the visuals I've seen so far. If anything, I'm happy to here that major developers are caring less about graphics so they can devote more to the actual game. And Black Ops looked fine to me, I'm sure this will be the same.

black ops engine was trrible to me. the mechanics were incorrigible IMO

What gamers what is something that isn't yet another Call of Duty clone. :|a

I don't care about the graphics! I want a better single player campaign! Something that can last around 20 hours!

You have how much money??? and you cant Set up a new engine.. for a whole new call of duty look... why would you disgrace the franchise and just shave the top off the money pile.. quality put in is quality returned.. and for quantity to reign the quality of the quantity must be there. so give us what we want.. actually get on the streets.. use that company money bring a call of duty van around and ask us what we didnt like what we would liek to improve... have polls people interaction.. or you just too busy at the eyes wide shut party on the 60th floor???

It's amazing how so many people love to play a game that is so close to reality.

Why be a normal soldier when you could fly, fight aliens or monsters, explore unique worlds, have super-powers, cast spells, traverse dimensions and do things that have never been done on this earth?

No. We a want a better Call of Duty, not a better-looking Call of Duty. They're just tearing everybody's attention away from the fact that they're not creating a new engine, by introducing this new feature of lighting into the equation. It was never part of the equation, guys, and you're fooling no one. This whole charade is just an embarrassment to the gaming industry.

It's still going to be running off a 5 year old game engine... doesn't matter how much they tweak it. And it will still be a rehash of previous COD games.

Although, I'm surprised they even change anything... They can slap COD on any POS game and it will sell millions.

sorry to break it to you guys but activision is not putting much time or work into these projects at all. yes the graphics is not the only important part, but it is a huge factor in what makes the game. it takes a lot of brainpower and work, trial and error into making these engines. this is all together taken out by this team. they just spend the time on copying and pasting and making maps and new weapons and makin a story. there is SOME work involved, but they dont want to spend any more than that. but that doesnt worry them because they know people will buy whatever the hell they put out there. which is WHY they try to make as many of these games as possible to see how much money they can rake in. this of course exciting to them cuz they get an endless amount of cash coming in. their strategy is to try to make as much money with the most minimum effort being put in and see how long they can do this. "oh i dont care about the graphics, its all about the game!" you guys can keep saying that cuz thats exactly what the company wants you to say in front of everyone lol. and i dont understand cuz the gameplay is still very stale. it was fun in MW1, but i'd get boring after 5 of them back to back. really? activision is extremely lucky to have these kind of supporters. repeat the same formula for 10 more games and they still will get the support and the loads of cash coming in. that is some lazy crap lol

@Sgthombre

Well two things. In regards to your same game engine rant, I bring to your attention the quality, QUALITY, of the Creed series. These are well thought, well designed, well written games that blend history with contemporary gaming. The devs use the same engine because the game doesn't need a shiny new engine that drives the game. It already has everything it needs. You fail to grasp this concept.

Second, it appears to me that you lack vision for the future and prosperity of video games. You rather would sit in the "here and now" and play whatever retooled, rehashed and re released game that floats your way. As long as there are vision-less gamers like you, gaming will not improve. The world does not need another Call of Duty.

What's the point making a new engine for old consoles like the 360 or PS3?

Once the new consoles comes out, i'm sure Activision will start working on a new engine.

activision= the laziest people i've ever seen. yet they make a killing off of it. i sorta wish i was in that team...$$$

im i the only one who clicked on this on read the comments between the pro/anti cod groups for the comedy value

COD engine is what, seven years old? Activision will keep milking the engine as long as idiots keep buying it. Why waste time and money on a new engine if the game sells 10 million copies in two days?

I love those CoD haters that call people like me that ACTUALLY ENJOY the series "Idiots," "Fanboys," "Losers," and best of all, "Casual gamers," When in actuality, "Casual gamer," translates to "I have a life." You people that are upset about CoD being uninspired need to chill out. SChool takes a lot out of people like me and thinking outside of school is not what I want to do, especially not about a videogame. Aren't videogames supposed to be entertaining? So better graphics add entertainment value. How bad is that? Maybe people that like the series don't need a game that consumes their life...

BETTER LOOKING?!!! I think you'll find that we want a whole lot more than that.

*Sigh* we don't need a better looking anything. We just need fuller games.

These guys obviously aren’t aware of anything.

Kind of has that Ghost Recon/BF3 look to it now. Don't know why everyone is complaining about CoD? It was endorsed by Kim Kardashian, so it must be great.

Better looking? Well I guess Activision thinks all gamers are a bunch of shallow/superficial souls, or at least those who Activision listens to.

Gamers want games that challenge them to use their heads, better gameplay, better story, fresh air in the franchise, something that set them different from other games deep down in their core, etc.

"Engines, each time they get touched, they change,"Yeah right, then why does Modern Warfare 3 look EXACTLY like the prequel?

They need to completely reboot the Modern Warfare series now that the story arch is over. A fresh start, new story, and new engines would do a great deal to get "haters" to shut up. Granted, if Activision cured cancer, found the Holy Grail, destroyed the Taliban, and brought about world peace people would still bitch and moan at this point.

laughable...how bout....STARTING OVER, new engine, new plot, new mechanics new perspectives....and maybe....a single player campaign over 4.5 hours long???

Sports games kind of have to come out yearly, shooters....no, no, and no. Put effort into your ish and we might like it, stop pushing it out there and raping us with 60-70 dollars in DLC, make it with the DLC maps included...like a code so 2nd hand sales of your crap game cant jump online without paying.

Black ops was the last call of duty ill buy, MW3 was...ok, survivor mode should have been MW2. Activision has ruined some of my favorite games.

where? according the trailer I don't see any better. are you kidding me?
