MW2 can only fit 18 people max. Cod4 has 64 Player maximum. Thanks to the dedicated server Cod4 is able to handle 64 smoke grenades at the same time. MW2 has the same engine like cod4 but can only handle 18 smokegrenades.

3 special grenades dont work with smokegrenades because its a too powerful graphics effect. That means that cod4 on PC isgraphically better than his successor.

It's really a shame the Moves that ACTIVISION have been making lately, I really feel for the COD fans on PC.

You do realise that your thread title and subsequent statement contradict each other right? What you said there would prove either MW2 was less optimized or more graphically intensive than MW 1.

What?

The engine could still do 64 smoke grenades on screen if it wanted to, MW2 does look better than CoD4, not by much though.

At the end of the day it is a highly modifed Quake 3 Engine, id never play it for its graphics anyway.

MW2 has larger environments, better lighting, better shadows, etc.

It's done so they are not spammed. 64 players is a joke on CoD anyways.

both ways and mw2 is meant for all systems. No deticated servers is a sign of demotion and laziness.

Also why do we keep on improving graphics engines? I mean, all we need to do to make a game look better according to SLIisaownsystem is throw some more smoke grenades in there!

Nah, what's the point it still wouldn't look better than Dead Rising, that's the best looking game ever because it can show hundreds of characters on screen at once.

What? You think PC's aren't capable of running games at resolutions higher than that?

Um... Graphically, means visually. What you said in your post has nothing to do with visuals. That's technical statistics. And honestly, there are no verifications to those claims. The amount of players on PC isn't really limited, it's dependent upon the developers decision, and the players PC.

With CoD maps, 64 players makes it more of cluster spunk than it already is with 18. Some games just aren't designed for that amount of players. CoD maps are much too small. More players doesn't equal better online experience. For example, KZ2 with 32 players on Tharsis depot just sucks but it works well for a larger map like Pryhus Rise or Saluman Market. It all depends on map design.
