Call of Duty 4 looks like Call of Duty 2

Before you all tar and feather me, look below. These are from IGN, which basically cried while adulating the game.

Now, don't get me wrong. I could fall in love with this game simply because I cry inside when I see a game with 60 FPS on both platforms. Howveer, don't you notice the jaggies? The low res textures? Yech, look at those hands. It doesn't look ugly, no, but it looks almost exactly like I remember Call of Duty 2 looking.

These are multiplayer shots from the Xbox 360 Beta build of the game as shown by IGN.

That's a Call of Duty 2 shot from IGN. Yes, kind of an unfair comparison, given PC versus 360, but at the same time, I'm truly disappointed. This game won best graphics awards from three publications: Gamespot, Gametrailers, and IGN. And, seriously, I wouldn't call it so much of a progression as a step in a backwards direction visually. Let alone, it cannot even encroach upon the spectacular visuals of Crysis. Killzone 2 was not playable at E3 (and was excluded from comparison) but certainly did look notably better. Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Mass Effect, Bioshock....why was this game even nominated, let alone winning at three publications?

Here's an Xbox 360 shot of Call of Duty 2 for comparison:

And a final PC shot:

All i am going to say is:

Look at this game in motion

hummer700

Guess what: A) I've seen videos, and wasn't impressed. B) I've played Call of Duty 2 in SD on Xbox 360 and on my PC (which I've beaten).

That's a nonsense argument. The PC version of Call of Duty 2 would look better than the Xbox 360 beta build in motion by leaps and bounds, given a considerably higher potential framerate, better anisotropic filtering, higher res textures, better antialiasing, etc. It's not even a comparison. That's how ridiculous your argument sounds to me.

Plus, Call of Duty 2 for Xbox 360 runs at 60 frames per second. Call of Duty 4 for Xbox 360 runs at....you guessed it! 60 frames per second.

No kidding, Sherlock.

Screenshots are never a good way to compare games as they can vary tremendously.sonicare

Wrong.

good argument there.

you should have your eyes checkedSpaceDragonMan

Why would my eyes factor into your conclusion at all? Each and every one of you have eyes, tell me that I'm wrong, and specifically how.

I know exactly what I'm looking at and I know precisely how to make the determination as to which one is the better game. Okay, you disagree with me. Why? Explain.

no COD4 looks a lot better cause ive seen videos of it.i still got COD2 and compare to COD4 there is a big gap on graphix

Red I'm sorry but by your responses it sounds like you don't intend to be convinced of anything promising about COD4's graphics...D0013ER

YEAH I TEh HATE THE GAME.

Actually, I'm so thrilled it's at 60 FPS on the Playstation 3 it's not even funny. I personally hate Call of Duty 2 more than any WW2 shooter I've ever played and yet....the only game I'm comparing Call of Duty 4 to is Call of Duty 2. Given that knowledge, continue with the bias arguments at your own discretion.

[QUOTE="sonicare"]Screenshots are never a good way to compare games as they can vary tremendously.Redfingers

Those are some really crap pictures. I've played Call of Duty 2 everything on high and even I can tell that CoD 4 looks better.

You've had your boxing gloves on ever since you started this thread, so how is anyone supposed to convince you of anything?

if u think otherwise thats ur problem but everyone seems to disagree with you even the press because some of them even gave COD4 best in graphix during E3

So do I. And Call of Duty 2, the game, installed on my PC at this very moment.

HD movies on PS3, HD movies on Gametrailers which is a site I subscribe to religiously.

I've seen them.

The PC version of Call of Duty 2 is noticably less jaggier than Call of Duty 4 for Xbox 360, and the textures appear noticably higher resolution. The anisotropic filtering is also loads better. Please don't assume I'm just biased because I'm comparing Xbox 360 beta shots to PC shots, the irony is in the accolades this game gets by every publication each and every time it's previewed.Redfingers

Yep this game is the most overated game of the century let alone year.

ok good for you still COD4 is the best looking game for consoles and it looks better than COD2 big timeOldParr

Exhibit A: Call of Duty 2 for Xbox 360, included.

Exhibit B: Call of Duty 3 for Xbox 360....I assume you've seen it.

Exhibit C: Halo 3, Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword, Mass Effect, Bioshock. Are you sure you didn't miss something or bonk your head on the way in?

No one in this forum has played the game. How would he begin to substantiate that comment? Obviously, he's referring to the visuals. As far as the gameplay, all we've got are previews.

Personally, I think Call of Duty 2 sucked in terms of physics and gameplay. BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

He said "this game," not "COD."

I'm saying its CoD 1 / 2 / 3 , Medal Of Honour 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8.... all over again, new generation, new theme (that is far from new anyway) running at 60 FPs (Pointless) ... ergo SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME.

Disclaimer - This is opinion, based on whats seen ... same old game, give credit to games that are due it, It has Call of Duty 4 in the title, being made by the original team, all of a sudden everyone expects it to repeat CoD1's success, which lets face it is VERY VERY unlikely.

Call of Duty 4 looks fun. Thats it. It does not look like the show stopping masterpiece. I will bet my account on the fact the review of this game will at one point say "it playes just like its predecessors" which is a good thing, but only for what it is. You people (lemmings in particular) are hyping this game as one of the best this gen and it is just as rediculous as Cows hyping Haze. organic_machine

Really, that was my only premise, that it isn't really "the best."

I'm not denying that it looks good or better.

No thanks. I need more money than that, but seriously other than pictures you posted, which most posters have disagreed with, what do you have? Don't you understand it is opinions being argued here. Nothing obviously is going to change your mind, and it will take more than what you have posted to change mine. So again, we will have to agree to disagree. We must await final release to see what truly this game has to offer. But I hope to get into the beta. :P

i dont see UT3 coming with something new but graphix.half life2 is stuck with episodes. and because of that i dont think they are not gonna be fun

I can't figure out what you haters are talking about. The demo showed at the MS E3 press conference was engrossing, intense, and overall amazing.

I trust Infinity Ward to make an unbelievable experience. They did it in COD2. Dozens of enemies running everywhere - all with great AI. A dozen teammates acting in believable fashion. Tons of battlefield chaos and chatter. All at 60fps. Haters be gone.

Hmm, I think Call of Duty 4 looks much better than Call of Duty 2. Just look at these

Call of Duty 4 does not have ragdoll physics. Every one of those games have ragdoll physics, excluding Call of Duty 2 and 3.

Intensity? Bioshock, Heavenly Sword, and Killzone 2 are, as of this moment, some of the most intense games I've ever seen.

I'm sorry, Call of Duty 4 is shooting. Shooting with an occasional explosion. They're more frequent now, given grenade launchers and RPGs, but it's hardly more explosive than mortar and artillery fire, a common staple of Call of Duty 2.

I've seen intensity in Company of Heroes. I've seen ragdolls flying in the air, limbs shredding, snipers killing, artillery landing, mortars dropping, tanks rolling, AT fire exploding, flak guns blasting.

Call of Duty 4 is almost tame in comparison to the games I mentioned.

The demo shown at MS's E3 press conferenace wasn't very good at all. I don't know what you're talking about. It didn't impress me in the least bit. I honestly don't know what everyone sees in this game.

Those screenshots are from online play.no_submission

yeah QFT, the CoD4 screens are online play while the CoD2 has some online screens plus some single player screens. CoD4 online still looks better than CoD2 single player even in those screens.

All i am going to say is:

Look at this game in motion

hummer700

exactly, pictures dont do justice to how amazing this game looks
