????It all comes down to gameplay and how it's tied to micro-transactions in the new era of cod.
Graphics are unimportant here. There's my answer.????
OP asks if graphics in the games are underrated and this is what you came to post?
Those graphics were so good it gave my launch 360 rrod.Some of the recent ones, Modern Warfare, Cold War, Modern Warfare II, have some incredible lighting. And historically, they do it at 60 fps on console. I remember being blown away with the original Modern Warfares on Xbox 360, again, running at 60 fps.
I definitely think it's taken for granted like it's expected considering the game's budget, but the company is more than compensated for it with consistently high sales. So it's not exactly, oh, woe is them.
I can agree with this.The graphics in the single player campaign on last year's modern warfare 2 are excellent on the pc version on absolute maximum at 4k with my 4090.
In a side not the dolby atmos audio is the best audio of any game, it's the perfect way to show off object based sound.
Aye, there's not much under the hood. Which is why it's all so basic.They're all very high-res and pretty to just look at but that comes at the cost of completely static environments outside of scripted events.
I'd love to see a quality CoD campaign where you can really just blow the shit out of the environments.
Triangle counts in levels went up significantly in mw2019, I dont remember the exact numbers but it was like 10x at least.The graphics haven't significantly improved since Advanced Warfare back in 2014. Other than when you get close-up on textures, it could trick a lot of people into believing it's the latest installment.
lol yeah.There was a time where people felt "underwhelmed" because dice and EA gave a shit about the BF franchise which at the time was making the technically very impressive cod games look almost a gen behind.
Yup. That they don't have to work on that any more to improve it.Yes.
To be honest, CoD is flat out underrated across the board. The game has been milked to oblivion but the mechanics are polished to perfection.
What's really underrated at points is Modern Warfare 2's remaster.
This screenshot loses a lot without HDR, but it's also testament to what Call of Duty has lost as far as grandeur.
I was impatient so I just started buying the campaigns when they came up on sale hahah. Modern Warfare 2 really holds up as does Black Ops 1.I would love to replay through all of them if/when they start going up on GP.
These campaigns are a riot and a blast to play over a single sitting or two.
