This was Infinite warfare, the game at the time:


This was Battelfield 1 in 2016


So, it would be daft to suggest COD hasn't undergone a pretty hefty engine upgrade over time. Have they put the meme to bed?

the 2022 MW2 campaign on PC had great graphics. The MP looks nice too in 4k but definitely a step back from the campaign.

Battlefield 3 graphics blew my mind at the time but every game since then has been a mixed bag to me, kinda like CoD.

Infinite Warfare was the better game

 

[Diddy X]

I remember comparing Battlefield 1 to that year's COD and BF was clearly some steps above in both graphics and sounds, the better audiovisual experience.

Now Dice don't care anymore, better tech didn't make them win so they gave up.

Pretty much every COD since Modern Warfare 2019 has looked great. Hell, the game still looks fantastic 5 years later.

Battlefield was always more graphical. Haven't heard much of Battlefield from anyone who used to play it, so maybe the graphics weren't the main selling point

Looked graphically pretty fine too.

I would love to pull up some old screenshots I posted from the PS4 Pro version but alas they were all hosted on abload.de. RIP.

I think its more a case of Battlefield falling off unfortunately.
Gimme a 1942 and take me back. I don't need modern from this series- i need planes and aircraft carriers to launch from.

I have both infinite and advanced and IMO advanced is better visually.

Just a shame there is no ps4pro support for Advanced Warfare.

Imagine a game the size of BF2042 but it’s WW2. 64v64 and you’re storming the beach at Normandy.

It's been 13 years. Battlefield 3 was the first to critisize CoD graphics.

 

[Js562]

Call of duty 2019 and on looks great. Even now the first modern warfare looks good on a big screen. Recent battlefield doesn't compare

 

[Beechos]

That frostbite engine def made the battlefield games look way better than the cod games they were up against.

 

[Preseznik]

I always thought BF looked better, but COD never looked bad either.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Battlefield having better graphics than COD isn't breaking news, the fate of Battlefield lies in EA's hands, will it get EA money? 2042 was impressive, and had great seasons meanwhile I watched COD turn into something different.

 

[NickFire]

Hard to say if COD upped its game. It has so thoroughly kicked the crap out of most competitors for so long that it’s splitting hairs comparing the degrees of domination. But I’d lean towards yeah. I played a ton of both most recent games. COD‘s speed and fluidity makes up for any graphical differences IMO.

That Infinite Warfare trailer was pretty good. It was moving the series forward into a new territory yet everyone hated it. Back then people were really into things "going back to the roots". Oh well...

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Infinite warfare looked amazing, what are you on about that it's an aging engine lol. Dare I say it looks better then most modern CODs. Also IW vs BF1 was never about graphics, they just went boots on the ground and it became a meme to hate o the new COD because it was set in space which btw to this day has the best and longest singeplayer campaign as well as one and only time, side quests in a COD title.

 

[MostlyPeaceful]

COD stepped up their game starting with MW2019, but they’re still behind BF in graphics.

When comparing visuals on one of BF2042’s biggest maps to MW3 Warzone, 2042 clearly looks better.

The difference was much wider back in 2016, but IW didn’t look like a 2010 game. That was a cringey tweet.

Spoiler: Spoiler

even though the BF1 trailer did blow the IW trailer out of the water and everyone knew it
