Modern Warfare 2 Will Render at 600p
- Thread starter lionelhutz
- Start date
I think I'll try something when I get home.
I'll run CoD4 @ 1024*600 (if I can set it at that res through the game or configs), take a screenshot, and scale it up to 1280*720p.
I'll take a native 1280*720p shot.
We can see how much of a difference it makes (though obviously, the quality of the scaling will have a huge impact).
I'll also take both and scale them both up to 1080p, where the difference might be very minimal since both are being scaled.

I play wii games on HDtv and I still find many of them good( I only buy very good games) So this shouldn't be problem.

I don't care about 600p. If the game still has those stupid spawning enemies, then THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

The real question is why people like you care so much about resolution and not about what the game looks like as a whole. COD4 looks better than the vast majority of the console games out there, and MW2 looks much better than it.
Plenty of games run in 720p and look much worse than either of them.

Fixed.
It's really disappointing that they couldn't be able to make the not so impressive now engine run at 720p at 60fps but still COD4 looked pretty good despite the more dirty IQ due to the sub-HD resolution so MW2 should look at least decent even at 600p.
Anyway my real concerns about the game are the infinite enemy respawns and the mindless enemy AI to be honest...

Of all the things to complain about, I think resolution is pretty much the lowest on my list of things. And considering that this game will probably sell in great numbers regardless of its resolution (and that the majority of the marketplace who will likely buy this have are playing on an SDTV), no one outside of the internet dwellers will care. Last I checked, the series, especially starting with CoD4, still looked amazing at this rez.
This is the thread where you reply to what you think people are talking about instead of reading the thread, resulting in something less than conversation and more like yelling out of turn, uninformed.
BTW, my Call of Duty: Netbook Resolution Edition comment is the best thing in this thread. Just the facts, folks.

I didn't know they made resolutions so small.
That's some seriously late 90's shit right there.

Resolution only matters when you're in a Wii thread. If you're in a 360/PS3 thread, it's the gameplay and frame rate that counts!

MW1 was a tonne of fun and sold a load. I see MW2 being no different.
There's games that run at 720p, that look worse and run at 30fps

You might be completely kidding, but here goes:
1. Jaggies. Halo 3 had em. A LOT of em. Theater-mode screens gave a false impression of how the game actually looked.
2. Expectations. Halo 3 is THE flagship game of the Xbox. People naturally assumed it would be THE graphical showpiece for the system as well. Luke Smith even said we'd all end up saying "Gears of What?". Not exactly, no. Unless we're talking about a multiplayer system that actually works.
Edit: But no, I don't care about it for MW2 because COD4 looked fucking awesome enough to me. But I'm biased in that I think the IW trade-off was a much better one than the Bungie trade-off.

And how many pixels is pure 720p?
Well it's the truth. One of the biggest selling points to FPS games throughout the past two decades has always been the genres ability to pump out some of the greatest eye candy available in the gaming industry. Things have changed though, whether for the better or worse, and it's a tad disheartening to see fans of FPS accept it like a punch on the chin.Huttie0 said:

1280 multiplied by 720 is 921600.

Yeah that sounds like what happened. I probably should have said they don't go for impressive graphics (instead of the word resolution). Either way, the point is that the guy I was responding to was acting like graphics all that matters. Blizzard and Valve aren't going for impressive graphics.Chiggs said:

I wonder how low a games resolution would have to be before people actually died.
speedpop said:
Of course it's the truth, and of course everyone already knows it - which is why it's just unnecessary to continue to spout it.
I played Mirror's Edge on my PC at 1680x1050 with 4x AA, much better looking as well as better running than the console version.
Do I go into threads and declare the obvious fact that the PC is the winner? Why would I?

Why not, when developers can't even max out 5 year old hardware at this point?
yeah, I'm responding to a post from the first page; sorry, just now saw the thread

MW2 running @ 600p doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is how so many console gamers can rationalize it into a "good" thing. Sorry if that sounds elitist. I am going to buy MW2 on PC and 360 but that doesn't mean the sub-HD rez of the console version doesn't suck donkey balls.

I agree with you but people saying Cod4 consoles vs. the PC version is the equivalent of Wii to HD caming are stupid. I have played CoD 4 on my PC maxed out at 1080p and going back to the console version doesn't feel like I'm playing a Wii game.
Even having access to a bad ass PC and knowing it's sub HD I am going to buy the 360 version because playing with friends is much more important to me than what resolution the game is running in.

The consoles ARE being maxed out if they can't get 720p & 60fps. That was his point (I think)

I don't get it. How can people be so douchey to those that don't care or don't mind the trade IW makes for framerate and detail? Especially PC fans whose version of the game is effectively subsidized by the existence of the far better-selling version of the game...yep, the fucking 'sub-HD' inferior game controller console versions.

I've seen too many console generations come and go to believe that. Give the devs more time with the hardware, and they'll be able to further optimize. They may never reach Xp at Yfps, if it's a hardware limitation, but through whatever magic they are able to work, the experience will be just as good.
