Modern Warfare 2 Will Render at 600p

Don't see how this is an issue or is surprising anyone. I have seen several people say the first was one of the best looking console games this generation. Many also say such things about MGS4, which was also sub HD.

Well Sony promised us this was the age of TRUE HD 1080p 120 Fps etc so yeah 600p is epic fucking fail
Didn't know that console makers decide what publishers and developers do with their games.
 
This article is total flamebait. Yes, despite this being the HD generation, most console games run at sub-HD resolutions. If you can't live with it, better start gaming on PC.
 
I get the distinct feeling from this thread that most of the people on the PC side have tried console gaming this gen and given it a fair shake before dismissing it, whereas the console defenders seem to be WAY out of the loop on PC gaming and are just being defensive. Especially after that dedicated server comment :lol

Why not just hold off on buying a handful of those shit games you weren't hyped on and put together one of the PC configs from brain_stew's thread? Then you can have the best of both worlds.

How about no one gives a shit about the game being in 600p except for PC gamers who just like to stroke their E-penises around.

Oh no, I am missing out of the fun, time to spend $500-600 on a new PC just so I can finally unlock the fun out of this game.

There is a lot more to PC gaming than resolution/framerate...

I never said consoles were shit either, just that consoles and PC are 2 totally different platforms with totally different games (of course some the same) that it seems like a lot of people completely ignore judging by the uninformed posting.

Most PC gamers don't give a shit. B3D is a highly technical forum that really isn't hardcore friendly most types there just like gaming period and are in to how games work regardless of platform.

I sure don't, but what irked me is some of the people posting like this is a shortcoming on Infinity Ward's part, when majority of console games run at a sub-HD resolution. To those people, upscaling is not a new concept. Since most people sit quite a distance from their HDTV the difference between 600p and 720p would not be noticeable, anyway.

I played COD4 competitively at 800x600 with 125 fps. I didn't give a shit.
 
Meh.

MW1 resolution didn't affect me none.

And if you guys are playing it on an LCD, most likely it's not like your tv will resolve that 600p in motion anyway.

More like ~300-350p.

Oh, lawd, I lost even more p-ness now, give me back my precious p-ness!

I hope everyone enjoys it, whether they play it at 800x600 or 2560x1600. :3

Yeah, like 2 years ago when people found out the first time and some furrowed their brows in disdain, after release, most didn't care anyway in the end.

Now it's Round 2!! It gets real!

Ah, probably same end result.
 
I'm super late to this thread, but am in the camp that prefers 60 FPS over 720p if it's one or the other. The bottom line is that no one outside of b3d and a few people here can tell if a game is 720p vs. 600p.

Are there actually console owners posting in this thread that would prefer 720p if it meant giving up 60 fps? or is just some PC vs Console bullshit? Personally, I can't wait for the day when I have a great PC setup, hopefully it's not too far off.
 
I will play and enjoy this game barring it's sub-HD resolution. Oh wait, what that? You mean to tell me that a game cannot-- I repeat -- Cannot be enjoyable unless on the PC/ not-Wii? Resolution must HD?

Well, goddamn! Guess I should stop playing games all to-fucking-gether then, huh?
 
Console games are typically played at a distance further away from the video source than a PC game is. Both still look great. No need for a 20-page thread, thank you and good night.

Since when did low resolution games stop console owners in the past.

Most people who play games these days aren't gamers, they're graphics whores.

Gamers care about gameplay, seems to be the big difference.

I care about both. Do I get a medal?

Its a funny argument, because in MW2's case you get the best gameplay and the best graphics on the PC. Seems to be a recurring theme.

Depends on the genre, the system, etc. The most important thing here is to have low-latency controls. There's only a few spots where a slightly higher resolution might be preferrable to 60 fps in a CoD game like the parts where you're not in control of the character.

I take it you've not heard from the "omg id Tech 3 sucks and MW2 looks sooooo 2002" crowd of clownboats.

I fucking hate those types. They need to be happy we got colours this time around.

Eh, if only resolution is all that makes a game good looking, than Ridge Racer 7 is one of the best looking games out there.

I care about good graphics more overall, can't say I care too much about losing a bullet point in the big picture. If the resolution can't be 720p simply for the sake of overall visual performance and consistency on the consoles, I ain't crying about it especially if the devs wanted 60fps for it and not 30 fps.

Is it really id Tech 3? The Quake 3 engine?

It hardly matters, they've obviously done a lot of shit to it to keep up with modern times.

I think the point here is that Modern Warfare 2 will be awesome.

Fuck the haters :)

All we need now is cross platform deathmatch. Let the greatest platform claim victory, Roman style!

Yeah, apparently it's a heavily modified version of IT3.

On the cross-play MP: you'd totally out lean me.
 
I'm actually super ignorant when it comes to this topic but maybe someone could clear up my confusion. If CoD4 only supports 600p on the 360 and PS3 then how come they were allowed to put 720p/1080i/1080p on the back of the box? Is that just how big it will stretch or something?

It doesn't mean it's native rendering resolution. The game can scale accordingly to a TV optimal resolution whether its 720p 1080i or 1080p.

console things are so curiously malleable when it comes to anything resembling standards.

you'll cry foul and lord your graphical prowess over waggling underlings, yet when your false prophet is bested by the mighty quake 3 engine, the broken record falls from the table, smashes into a thousand pieces and is promptly brushed under the carpet.

such an ignoble, wretched race.
Greatest post ever mang. Epic, and true.
 
My problem is Ill end up having to buy it twice.

-PC for the GFX and no lag local hosted servers
-360 because all my mates will be playing it on that...

...IW should give me a discount :lol

sounded more bitter than "epic". people shouldn't encourage this elitist bullshit (even if it is, for all intents and purposes, true), it's demeaning.
 
As long as the game is awesome...

I'm surprised this needed 20 pages of discussion/ranting/trolling...

Come November the FPS to be playing will be MW2...for many many months...

So on a game like this, would it be safe to say that it could look worse on a higher resolution TV?

play Mirror's Edge on pc


I have...completely maxed @1080p. It looks like the console version with a wonderfully smooth framerate and perfectly jaggless image quality. Not close to the step up from Wii graphics to HD Consoles. PS3/360 is graphically a generation ahead of the Wii; Crysis is the only game I have played on my PC that looks a generation ahead what is available on the HD consoles.

lol pc gamers getting all hyped up because they finally have some justification for spening so much money for gpus and cpu that they will get little use of.:lol
