I don't know whether to get Modern Warfare 2 for the 360 or PS3.

Anyone have any information on the differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of Modern Warfare 2?

The only thing I can think of is that it was announced that map packs will be released slightly earlier on the 360.

Perhaps COD4 and 5 can provide some hints as to what the differences will be. What were the differences between the systems for COD 4 and 5?

Thanks for any info.

360 has a better controller for shooters, the PS3 controller isn't that good but it's ok.

Idk, if you have both like i do, it comes down to controller preference. I would say it depends on your friends list as well, but chances are, everybody on ur friends list will buy this game.:P So yea, controller pref.

I know on COD:WAW XBOX 360 has about twice as many active users. The better players for FPS always tend to drift towards XBOX 360.

Good points so far - so these appear to be the factors:

-Which controller you prefer

-Which system your friends will be getting it on

-The fact that 360 map packs come out slightly earlier

-The amount of people playing it (will likely be more on the 360)

I think I'm going to go with the PS3 because I prefer it's controller for shooters.

I personally love the CoD games for the 360 because the Live experience is great, especially for chat. I feel like more people will be on XBOX cuz more people own it, naturally. .... HOWEVER> This is because I didn't own my own system in college until now. Roommates have 360's, so I logically got PS3. If you're a true gamer, the platform won't matter. Just reserved the special edition for the PS3 (150 bucks) .. And to be honest, first time I ever played COD:MW was on PS3 and it just felt cleaner. .. SO JOIN MEH ON PS3!! ALL!

I have CoD3, CoD4 MW and CoD WaW for both 360 and PS3 and they are very close to being the same... it comes down to what platform your friends will likely be playing on or if you just generally prefer XBL over PSN, or vice-versa...

It's going to be the same damn thing as the first game. In other words, it's going to be the same game on both platforms.

Really? because the console versions of COD4 ran at 600p at 60 FPS with 2xAA. You'd be hard pressed not to obliterate that standard on PC. Consoles also had a limitation of 16 players on consoles, whereas you could play with 50 players online on PC. PC online gaming is also free and all of the map packs were released for free. That and you had free mods, free user-made maps, and servers that dished out custom map rotations and custom content for you to game on. Not to mention less lag than either console version and not having to put up with disconnects due to the host leaving. Frankly, buying COD4 on PS3 pissed me off. The version is a wreck. MW2 will have ALL of the problems I just listed on consoles and ALL of the advantages I just listed on PC. It's still 600p with 2xAA. In other words it will look like ass and play like ass. Oh, and I hope you like crappy controls, because you'll have copious amounts of aim assist on your second-rate citizen console versions.

Here's what the console versions of MW2 look like:

I got that on Beyond3D forums. They said it was the same image quality (600p with 2xAA) as the first game.


I can literally get you better looking screen shots than this with Call of Duty 2 running on a Pentium D with a 7800 GS. And I could get you screens on my current PC for Call of Duty 2 that would make your eyes bleed.

considering that it sells more for consoles than for the pc, it seems that most people dont really care how it looks or runs on your pc.

Actually the better players drift towards the PC.

from my experience, the competition is pretty much equal. Different set ups for control levels out when all users are using the same style. I actually know some people on XBL that I would bet money on taking out 90% of the PC gamers no sweat. It really all comes down to how familiar you are with a controller (keyboard and mouse) or whatever.

sorry to say but that is a HORRIBLE screen shot. CoD4 not only looked better then that, but also makes it look like there's at least a generation gap between that screen and how the game ACTUALLY looks. Nice try though

Brownesque

Im sorry but this is absolute BS.

Character models in COD 2 look terrible compared to MW (and I assume MW2 will look the same), and the lighting in MW/MW2 is much much better than the lighting you see in COD 2.

No higher resolution, and any amount of AA samples can fix that.

Also, COD2 for the PC isn't exactly that well optimized compared to MW, or even the 360 version of COD 2.
On a Pentium D :lol: with a 7800 you might be able to equal what it looks like on the 360.

No, that's what you call a real screenshot. Care to find me a better looking one that you can actually demonstrate is a framebuffer grab displayed in native resolution with no bullshot alarms going off in my head when I see it? Good luck with that. Until then I'll stick with the clear impression of what looked like a giant ass being shaken in front of my face when I played COD4. The game looked bad. Period. I won't accept any of your "it doesn't look like that on MY TV" crap because I played the game myself extensively. I want screens, real screens. The game ran at 600p with 2xAA. That's called a fact. That means that there is nothing you can do to dispute that fact. It had aggressive dynamic LoD, moderate to low resolution textures, and no crazy particle effects or draw distances to make me think better of it. There was absolutely nothing about that game that was jaw dropping, awe inspiring, anything. It wasn't even the best looking console game when it came out. And I'm SURE that I could make you a Call of Duty 2 screenshot that would look superior to any Modern Warfare or Modern Warfare 2 screen you could produce. So how about you get to it, buck-o.

Also, let's talk about how extraordinary controllers are compared to mouse and keyboard and how X-board your average 360 player is in comparison to a PC gamer. Today I played Red Orchestra on a server called HIPS 24/7 and I carried around my fancy bolt-action rifle, the Kar-98 in a game with real-world ballistics, i.e. your bullet has to travel to the target, accurate damage modelling, free-aim, and no crosshairs. Not to mention the fact that unlike just about every popular shooting game on consoles (including Modern Warfare), it has no aim assist what-so-ever. In other words not only do I have to force my weapon to the target and draw a line from the muzzle to my target in a split second before I fire, I also have to make sure that bullet is going where my target will be in the time it takes for the round to travel. On Hips we play 100% bolt action custom maps and I hipshoot people across the map routinely and they do it right back to me (depending largely on their skill level. Have you ever seen a console game with free-aim? Because I haven't. Name me a major console game shooter that doesn't have aim-assist. Seriously, you play COD4 and you've got noob-tubes, single-button kill-swipes (right analog=knife arc of doom), single-button grenade throws, aim-assist, nearly instantaneous bullet travel, noob-perks, kill-streak rewards, crosshairs, and fully automatic weapons. And you think because you can make a series of kills in a game like that that has any degree of consequence on your ability to make an impact in a game in which the training wheels come off? Console games are DESIGNED to be friendly for a SIMPLER control type.

There simply is no comparison and I would be glad to plant an 8mm Mauser round in a console gamer's avatar's face if he so desired to trumpet how skilled he was, and that frankly includes any MLGer on the planet. Console gaming skills do not translate to PC.

I wouldn't get it all, but thats just me. I guess 360, multiplats always look and play better on the 360, and LIVE is always a welcome bonus.

Call of Duty 2 had crap multiplayer. Any PC gamer should try out Dystopia, Counter Strike Source, Red Orchestra, Unreal Tournament, something with some longevity... Granted, though, COD4 definitely had a lot more life and spark than COD2's online. COD2's online was basically death match/team deathmatch on little teeny tiny maps. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Not a whole hell of a lot of fun. Sure, COD4 was imbalanced and a total cluster****, but at least it was pretty entertaining. I wouldn't call it fun, mind you, but it had some substance and lots of game modes.

Swim? Why would you want to swim? You do know that a lot of guns jam up with you put them in the water, right? Swimming isn't exactly fun for any first person game.....it's even rare that you'll find a game with a good swimming control scheme, it's almost never a worthwhile mechanic. I think COD has its niche, but it takes game balance and takes a leak on it with COD4 onward. They've just decided they don't want game balance, and to me, that's the key. The game mechanics are there and they're decent enough, it just needs an effort to make it not quite so brainless and not so horribly imbalanced.

Here's what the console versions of MW2 look like:

I got that on Beyond3D forums. They said it was the same image quality (600p with 2xAA) as the first game.


I can literally get you better looking screen shots than this with Call of Duty 2 running on a Pentium D with a 7800 GS. And I could get you screens on my current PC for Call of Duty 2 that would make your eyes bleed.

Brownesque

sorry to say but that is a HORRIBLE screen shot. CoD4 not only looked better then that, but also makes it look like there's at least a generation gap between that screen and how the game ACTUALLY looks. Nice try though

No, that's what you call a real screenshot. Care to find me a better looking one that you can actually demonstrate is a framebuffer grab displayed in native resolution with no bullshot alarms going off in my head when I see it? Good luck with that. Until then I'll stick with the clear impression of what looked like a giant ass being shaken in front of my face when I played COD4. The game looked bad. Period. I won't accept any of your "it doesn't look like that on MY TV" crap because I played the game myself extensively. I want screens, real screens. The game ran at 600p with 2xAA. That's called a fact. That means that there is nothing you can do to dispute that fact. It had aggressive dynamic LoD, moderate to low resolution textures, and no crazy particle effects or draw distances to make me think better of it. There was absolutely nothing about that game that was jaw dropping, awe inspiring, anything. It wasn't even the best looking console game when it came out. And I'm SURE that I could make you a Call of Duty 2 screenshot that would look superior to any Modern Warfare or Modern Warfare 2 screen you could produce. So how about you get to it, buck-o.

Also, let's talk about how extraordinary controllers are compared to mouse and keyboard and how X-board your average 360 player is in comparison to a PC gamer. Today I played Red Orchestra on a server called HIPS 24/7 and I carried around my fancy bolt-action rifle, the Kar-98 in a game with real-world ballistics, i.e. your bullet has to travel to the target, accurate damage modelling, free-aim, and no crosshairs. Not to mention the fact that unlike just about every popular shooting game on consoles (including Modern Warfare), it has no aim assist what-so-ever. In other words not only do I have to force my weapon to the target and draw a line from the muzzle to my target in a split second before I fire, I also have to make sure that bullet is going where my target will be in the time it takes for the round to travel. On Hips we play 100% bolt action custom maps and I hipshoot people across the map routinely and they do it right back to me (depending largely on their skill level. Have you ever seen a console game with free-aim? Because I haven't. Name me a major console game shooter that doesn't have aim-assist. Seriously, you play COD4 and you've got noob-tubes, single-button kill-swipes (right analog=knife arc of doom), single-button grenade throws, aim-assist, nearly instantaneous bullet travel, noob-perks, kill-streak rewards, crosshairs, and fully automatic weapons. And you think because you can make a series of kills in a game like that that has any degree of consequence on your ability to make an impact in a game in which the training wheels come off? Console games are DESIGNED to be friendly for a SIMPLER control type.

There simply is no comparison and I would be glad to plant an 8mm Mauser round in a console gamer's avatar's face if he so desired to trumpet how skilled he was, and that frankly includes any MLGer on the planet. Console gaming skills do not translate to PC.

1. No, you seriously picked a Crappy Pic on Purpose. If CoD 4 & MW2 look Crappy to you, you SERIOUSLY need your Eyes Checked out (Unless you have Sky-High Standards).

2. What does Red Orchestra have to do with this Thread? So you can have Complex Procedures when Firing a Bolt-Action Rifle in that Game? BIG WHOOP. If I wanted to deal with all of those Complex Procedures, I would either go Hunting or Join the Army. Meanwhile, I'll go have FUN with CoD 4 even if it's not that Complex.

3.More Macho Bull Crap about how "Console Gamer's Skills are Inferior to Pc Gamer Skills". I bet that I can play Red Orchestra (Me being a Console Gamer) and Adapt to it'sGameplay in a Few Days, then become Skilled in a Week or Two.
