Get rid of that ugly, ugly, UGLY fucking bump mapping or whatever the fuck they're doing with those clothes, and it looks terrific.
How in the hell can this be the same game we saw at e3? After watching the e3 video, underwhelmed is just not a strong enough of a word to describe my feelings for this game.
But after seeing 2 new videos and the recent screenshots, CoD2 is quickly becoming my most wanted game for the 360. The game is turning out to be utterly breathtaking.

I wonder if their new smoke fx are a more advanced version of the trick they used in CoD:UO, where it was basically traditional looking smoke/fog enhanced with some nicely detailed 2D animation. It made every explosion look fantastic even though it was well, smoke and mirrors. This looks like its fully transparent though, like the whole thing is being rendered. Hope the "old" GT can handle it.

Why are some acting like it's 360 shots? BTW Bump Mapping sucks.

I think Call of Duty features the best smoke ever in a videogame. As simple as that. Heck, it looks much better than some smoke featured in early CG movies.
Also, people blasting normal maps in stills get me out of my nerves, you need to watch it in movement. See: Riddick and Doom 3.

It still appears to be using CoD1 animation. Yuck.

What's with the texture stretching on their clothes? This is next-gen, people.

I don't mind the 360 version (not for me anyway) but come on, people asking "alpha or beta kits shots ?" is simply stupid.
It's neither of them - full PC glory screens from a PC site called Gamespy. Reading comprehension people!
As for the exclusivity thing Mrbob - we shall see. It's up to Activision and MS deep pockets.
Amazing what happens when you add shaders and lighting to previously crappy models.Any1 said:
The E3 demo was amazing for the atmosphere and action, but the graphics were pretty bland. But now they've put in some of the lighting, and bumped up the shading effects (are those bump or normal maps?). Oh, and the already impressive smoke effects look even sweeter in those shots. Very nice indeed. But I don't think I'm crazy for wanting more. This looks like BF2++ right now. Gimme gimme gimme gimme MORE! Everything this gen should have self-shadowing out the wazoo. PEACE.

Can somebody link the videos? Would be interesting to compare. I didn't remember the smoke was THAT nice.

I don't know - I hope the 360 version isn't like the first COD on XBox. I love WWII games, but that game bored me to death with all of the scripted events. It felt more like a WWII amusement park ride than a video game where I could affect the outcome.
And, Brothers in Arms spoiled me with the squad system and the realism.
But - I want this game to be good, and, the Pointe du Hauc level looks amazing. I hope it is interesting and immersive though after you scale the cliffs.

I doubt it will look WAY better. If if it's a single-thread game, PCs still have the advantage in cpu speed.. and with the recent release of the 7800GTX, I'd say if you have the power, it would look every bit as good as the 360 version. However.. if they add specific graphical features only the 360 hw can handle in gpu, there might be a slight difference.Any1 said:I couldn't agree more. This is from the PC version, people. The 360 version will look way better than this.
