Someone please tell me how CoD4 looks good.

I'm playing on a 1080p HDMI connected TV on my 360 and.... CoD4 doesn't look that great.

Nothing in that game is truly spectacular. Textures BLOW. It's a shame that I have to look at them so much because that's how the game is played. But god does it get UGLY.

Explosions suck. There is no screen shake or good lighting assosiated with them. They aren't satisfying.

Running animations (save sprinting) look like rubbish. Feet slide unrealisticly all over the ground. Dying animations are predictable and overused.

Atmospheric effects (minus the nuke) are laughable. You can see right through them.

There is not one wall with anything other than a flat, ugly texture. For instance a brick wall doesn't look real. It looks like just a big polygon with a brick texture on it. Same can be said for almost everything.

There isn't an extensive physics engine. The only physics involved in it are grenade tosses, which don't always bounce realisticly anyways...

So there. I have provided much indisputable evidence proving that CoD4 doesn't look so hot. You might say "OMG but teh 60fps makes it liek buttar!" Sorry, but that's no excuse for everything else looking so bad. CoD4 doesn't look very good. Accept it.

Update: Yes the game is fun. But that's not what we are talking about. GRAPHICS = this thread

I almost forgot:

FLAME SHIELD: ON

I'd have to agree. My expectations were sky high though.

Then again, the game plays very nicely and eventually, I'm so immersed in the gameplay that the "subpar" graphics start to not matter anymore.

But yeah, I was expecting more. For both systems.

Luckily your opinion doesnt mean anything, so...GazzaB

Precisely. You can't legitmately say it looks great and back it up.

Bioshock looks far superior.

Hell, even Rainbow during the single player looks better than CoD4. Amazing atmosphere + the most vicious guns ever ftw!

Personally, I think Halo 3 looks better too.

Christ, and people say the Wii ruins gaming. It's people like the TC who for some reason seem to care more about a WALL TEXTURE than the gameplay. Tell me who the hell cares again?

tell me then what game looks better to you on the 360 ? a FPS would be nice GTSaiyanjin2

As much as i LOVE COD4 online...

it definatly doesnt have the best graphics on the 360...

Gears of War, Kameo, Mass Effect, Forza2 all have better graphics

When I read "The most PHOTO-REALISTIC video game WE'VE EVER SEEN." on the back of the box, I'm expecting it to look like something other than garbage.

Neither does yours lol

lmfao, couldn't agree more! Call of Duty 4 is a fantastic looking game, it may not be the best looking FPS on the market but its on the upper echelon of whats available right now. If your saying that 60fps doesn't matter some bolts in your head might be loose so you might need a check-up lol. It makes the experience smooth and fast while making the controls tighter.

how does 600p look better than 640p? i blame fanboy goggles.

That's the thing with CoD4 fanboys. They always talk like CoD4 is the best game ever, until you ask them what makes it good and then they can't answer. Oh and then your opinion doesn't matter, and you are blind. That too.Uncle_Uzi

CoD4 fanboys? my man take a look at my game collection I own Bioshock and Mass Effect, I have 360 and PS3 and am able to get the best of whats available for both consoles. You fail to understand something the reason why the graphics are good in Call of Duty 4 is because their immersive to the player, its what makes the experience so complete. The character models are fantastic, the amount of destruction thats going on at any given moment is ridiculous and the surrounding environment while not perfect TEXTURE wise is still well done. Bioshock and Mass Effect are fantastic looking games but Bioshock is running at 30fps and Mass Effect has massive texture pop in with a sometimes erratic framerate. Mass Effect is running at 20-30fps. If Mass Effect ran at 60fps it would be a far better experience and more immersive to the player.

I stopped reading when you said R6 Vegas looks better...NavigatorsGhost

yeah rsv looks really bad after playing COD4... but RSV is still a really good game

Yeah the MP is trash but the SP is actually surprisingly beautiful. It's why people compared it to Gears back in 06.

well the MP was the best part of the game, but the game did look better when playing the SP.. but the 25-30 FPS really hurt the game, after playing COD4. I really didnt noticed the bad frame rate when I 1st played the game, but when I went back to it it was really noticeable. I'm sure RSV2 will be much better.

muddy graphics and a half assed multiplayer =/= really good game
