Modern Warfare 2 will render at 600p

http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/games/c/call-duty-modern-warfare-2/modern-warfare-2-render-at-600p-$1314777.htm

Modern Warfare 2 will sport a resolution of 600p like its predecessor.

Infinity Ward once again justifies a sub-HD video game during a high definition console era with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

The resolution, which is 1024 by 600 pixels, has been confirmed by the pixel counters on the Beyond3D technical forums, who recently brought us the resolution of Ghostbusters: The Video Game on the PlayStation 3.

Modern Warfare 2's native rendering resolution will result in 307,200 pixels less than if it was running at the high-definition 720p.

The question is whether this matters for Infinity Ward's upcoming game? Unlike Ghostbusters, Modern Warfare 2 will be an extremely impressive game both graphically and in its framerate; Infinity Ward is again targeting 60 frames-per-second, when most graphically impressive video games struggle to hit 30 frames-per-second.

A sub-HD rendering resolution is surely a compromise worth taking considering the benefits?

Infinity Ward recently released the first Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer gameplay footage, which you can find here.

When it comes to Modern Warfare, 60FPS>a few extra pixels. However if this were an exclusive game, fanboys would jump all over it.

Ignoring the fact that I'm dreading this game. Does this really matter? HD isn't necessary.

It doesn't really matter unlike bungie IW know how to make a sub HD game look good.

It's 60 fps, so whatever. 30 frames really aggravates me in shooters.pyromaniac223

Still looks incredible. 60fps is preferable to 720p, imo.

So on my PC running at 1920x1200 iam almost twice the resolution of the console version.

Thats really quite pathetic.

All console games should be 1280x720, no less.

halo 3 has better graphics then MW2. its just the artstyle thatmakes halo 3 look mediocre.

thats wut you get for gaming on consoles with a severe lack of memory

No actually it's what you get when IW develops a console game.

Nobody cares. Seriously. We all know PCs are superior in graphics, so go away. Anyway, I don't really care. A game doesn't need to be in HD to be good. 60 FPS is a much better choice for me.MikeT072

This is surpose to be the HD era and youve got games running in borderline Wii resolutions, its awful, IW should do better.

Most Capcom games are 1280x720 at 60FPS and they look much better.

1024x600 on a 50" screen looks awful, id trade that 60fps for 45fps and 1280x720 anyday.

Well if I ever do end up getting it (new gameplay footage sparked my intrest), it will be on the PC and after the game drops $30 or if I can somehow get $30 off.

damn how do you guys notice difference between 30 and 60FPS

[QUOTE="pyromaniac223"][QUOTE="SiKh22"] if its a solid 30 fps like killzone 2 their is no problem, IW should have at least made it 720p.sikanderahmed

well i can only tell if there is a huge frame drop but cant tell difference between 30 and 60FPS

Sub-HD looks terrible. Can't stand it. KHAndAnime

If I buy it, it will be on PC so whatever.

honestly i dont have a problem playing a 30 fps game but it just is sooo much easier and more responsive imo when you dont have to deal with the frame-rate dips that occur in 30 fps games

It doesn't really matter to me

600p + 60fps = perfect.

the_delta

1 024 * 600 = 614 400
1 280 * 720 = 921 600
1 680 * 1 050 = 1 764 000
1 920 * 1 080 = 2 073 600
1 920 * 1 200 = 2 304 000

In my experience doubling the pixels pretty much halves the framerate.
