Why do People Think that Battlefield's graphics are better than Call of Duty's?

battlefield 3 =/= bc2

Because it does?MonsieurX

Your first mistake is assuming Battlefield 3 is an sequel to bad company 2..it isn't. Have you seen any of the trailers of BF3 or did you just play BC2 on the PC and assume that would be the general idea?lawlessx

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"]Because it does?brandontwb

So? The thread is'nt about your affinity for prescience.

Gonna go ahead and assume this is a joke thread or that the TC seriously needs their eyes looked at.

BF has better graphics on a technical level.

You mean realistic animation? COD 4 set a new standard for animation but theyve gotten lazy now. Black Ops ladder climb animation is laughable. Realistic animation makes a game more immersive. Theirs absolutely no drawback to good animation.

The superior sound fx of BF are bad thing too right? Dice forgetting that its just a game.

Activision is just resting on their laurels.

well i think you need to check your eyes if you think BF3 looks similar enough to BC2 , either that or stop watching in 240p.

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"]Because it does?brandontwb

Well it does.

CoD games are still running on ID Tech 3, which is mid 90's software I believe. The size and scale of BF games adds to the looks of the games. Also, with destruction in BF:BC2, the look of the map at the start of a round and the look of the map at the end of the round are very distinct. Building crumbled, forrests cleared, pipes detroyed, towers burning/collapsed. Also, the fact that there are a bunch of tanks and helicopters flying around causing explosions and themselves exploding, really adds to the visual appeal of the games. Now to the actual graphics, they are crap in CoD games. There are reasons that they run at 60fps on consoles. Look at 75-85% the textures in CoD: BOs and they look like games from the mid 90's (again, cause the games are built using an engine that old). So that is why we think that way.

Bad Company 2 certainly looks better, but then it isn't hard to look better when the competition is basically running on tech invented by dinosaurs.

Bad Company 2 looks like it has a more cartoony and simple design. Technically the graphics are better.

This is CoD4 in its max possible graphical settings. 16xAA, max drawdistance, etc...

You're trying to say MW2 looks better than this? If so..you really need to get those fanboy glasses off. You keep complaining about the colors and the "flashy" animations..you do know that battlefield is aiming for a more realistic take on warfare than the call of duty series right?

Because i played both and Battlefield looks better.TheGuardian03

The trees arent sprites, BC2 is much more impressive technically, it does look way better than any COD game, look at the valparaiso map, I get killed so many times because sometimes I just stare at the beautiful vistas.

although I can understand why you dont look it...you just dont like the art ****BC2 has, the graphics are kind of cartoonish, not everyone likes that, but they are great.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="brandontwb"]I've played BF1942, desert combat mod, BF2, BC1, 1943, and BC2 EXTENSIVELY and also COD4,5,6,7 extensively as well. It is my opinion that in their latest entries, Call of Duty looks much, much better. I am running BC2 and Black Ops both maxed, 60FPS at 1080p. brandontwb

its just the obvious thing to say, I dont want to sound rough, but hey, BC2 is just way more impressive, perhaps you've been looking at the game wrong? I also used to think the game's graphics were crap, but now I love them

Technically BC2 graphics are better but the design is simple, dull, and cartoony. Also I did say it was CoD4 which doesn't matter since CoD4 and Mw2 look the same...

Am I the only one who thought that Call of Duty FOUR was incredibly shallow and just as bad as the rest of the Call of Dutys? Everyone on here seems to hate Call of Duty now that it's the big thing. It got popular, and now everyone hates it. I don't see how you could have loved CoD4 and hate the new ones, seeing how they are essentially the same thing. Granted, that could be a reason to get frustrated (the lack of progress), but Halo is largely the same gameplay wise and I still love it.

Yay for hypocrisy.

Someone give the TC a pic of the bullet casing picture of BF3 vs. MW3.bbkkristian

Are you playing single, multi player or both?

Black Ops looks absolutely horrible. I was stunned when I started playing it.

Bad was a bit harsh on my part, seeing how everyone likes different things. It's just never been for me, you know? I don't like how people loved CoD4 and now everyone hates the new Call of Dutys. The only thing I can understad, again, is them being potentially frustrated with the lack of percieved progress in the series, but I own them all (I can't bring myself not to, by brother is always deployed and he loves playing it, so I play it with him on occassion) and they all play essentially the same.

[QUOTE="brandontwb"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] wow, sorry to tell you this but your opinion is dead wrong then...im sorry but BC2 just looks so much better than any COD, and BC2 is not the same league, not even the same sport as BF3...you claim both games lack detail, HAH BC2 enviroments are extremely detailed, take your time to see the textures still, the enviroments, the weapons, they all look beautiful, plus the character movements. and go see a BF3 video in full HDlightleggy

BC2 is far mire advanced, this is a fact. BC2 looks much, much better.millerlight89

[QUOTE="brandontwb"]That first screen is so bland. It's a piece of land with empty buildings placed randomly throughout it. The trees in the back are sprites and there is on colour here at all. Thank you for helping me prove all my points by showing off how bland this game looks. Look at the Call of Duty map. Those are not randomly placed buildings everywhere, each building has detail and purpose. Also that's Call of Duty 4 nice try.brandontwb

You mean much improved nothing? Texture streaming really isn't an improvement...

[QUOTE="lawlessx"][QUOTE="bbkkristian"]Someone give the TC a pic of the bullet casing picture of BF3 vs. MW3.brandontwb

odd..im pretty sure the BF series was mostly about warfare on the field..not so much in buildings..someone who claims to have played every battlfield game in the series really shouldn't be complaining about the interior detail of a building that is designed to be torn apart.
