Check out Call of Duty 2's box art, lots of stuff happening, pretty epic

Now check out MW3's box art, just a single soldier with a gun.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Box Art Pictures

Look at how much more detail is in Cod 2's box art, like the people falling down the cliff and soldiers storming the beach.

There's a lot more going on CoD2, but the MW3 one is better I think.

Holy crap CoD2's face looks like it randomly photoshopped in some random yelling face for that soldier!:lol:

Besides box art isn't that good these days anyway.:?

To be honest. I prefer the MW3 boxart. It's generic, because it's typical cod. But COD2 has to much crap going on. MW3 is simple and better for the eye.

More stuff going on =/= better boxart.

ICO European cover.



Man, look how lame and simple it is.

ICO American cover.



More stuff on the boxart, more detail, so amazing!

That said, Call of Duty has pretty lame boxarts, but that's always been the case.

The Ico cover is honestly the best looking boxart in history.

AS for MW3, it is miles ahead of COD2. Thousands of miles. The COD2 box art isn't artistic or visually appealing by any means.

They changed the box art style for CoD with CoD4. It used to be "dude looking out holding a gun and looking intense while other dudes fight around him", now it's "silhouette dude is standing and holding a gun while some vague stuff happens behind him".

MW3's isn't confirmed as the box art is it? Looks much better anyway, the first like 6 (including the console games) CoD's had pretty much the exact same box art, yelling man, stuff in background.

I love the old CoD/MOH box arts, but I honestely think Black Ops had the best one so far, despite much less details.

Simplicity is better. First boxart looks cluttered and too noisy.

Oh right, well like I said, I prefer it, nice and simple and stylish, people know what CoD is about now, no need to shove a load of tanks and jets on there as if to say "Hey look this game is about war!!!"

I like the MW3 boxart a lot more. More stylish and subtle. Plus that colours are great; black/white and an beautiful tint of green.

As a graphics designer in training. Call of Duty 2's boxart is far too cluttered and too busy to have a real central focal point. Modern Warfare 3's boxart has a great use of contrast, tone, balance and colour, and my eyes can easily see the Call of Duty: MW3 on the box unlike Call of Duty 2's boxart.

Why did you feel the need to put this ni both General Discussion AND System Wars? Because I doubt its that important we all know how you feel about box art, especially when it seems most of us disagree (myself included because, seriously look at that CoD2 box, its terrible).

I'd actually argue they're getting better but it really says something about the irrational hate of CoD when people go as far as to complain about the box art.

Why am I not surprised this has just turned into another CoD vs Battlefield debate?

That box art would be more impressive if it weren't recycling the design of last year's Bad Company 2. Pretty uninsipred.

That really only Modern Warfare 2 and 3. Black Ops what a guy seating while holding a couple of pistole and CoD 4 and WaW was a guy running with an assualt rifle with action in the back ground.

MW3's boxart is actually quite nice, as it's simple.

This is one of my favourite of all time, just looking at this and what is going on around Chief makes me want to play this for the billionth time AGAIN:

Not bad, but nothing groundbreaking...just imaging the Xbox version smooth as butter and a much better resolution, mods can make it look even nicer but not a graphics benchmark game like Crysis when it came out etc...
