Call Of Duty 4 demo

    Finally I got this beast downloaded (the line was clogged yesterday)

    I'm kinda disappointed. The action was there, no doubt about that, but the dialog was messy (since I hardly heard what they said) and the graphic wasn't what I had expected. No next-gen here (I had all at high basically) but it still didn't look any better then COD2 (almost worse). I'm a huge fan of the series and I know graphic isn't everything but this wase't what I expected.

    It looks better on the screenshots somehow

    I love it, the AI did do quite a lot of the work though, but it was intense and sweet while it lasted.

    Cant wait for the full thing~

    Here goes, dunno whats happened with the format, it looked fine when i run it on my widescreen, anyway, downscaled for your pleasure

    Looked like that for me as well. That level is hardly the most mindblowing visuals ever, but to be fair then its also by far not the best looking I've seen so far. The MP maps in the beta were a lot better looking.

    A lot better? Can it get "a lot better" than that?

    Maybe you were sarcastic but if not, yes it can and you if anyone should know that

    I wasn't sarcastic, those screenshots look amazing! Excellent artwork, especially on the 360!

    a very good point is raised there - it may not have uber-bloom (which obviously makes a next gen game...), but you're using very limited resources on a 360, whether the engine they are using (anyone know what it is?) streams content or not I don't know, but you've hardly got a lot of texture memory to spend, then think about all the characters, the vehicles etc etc, it soon goes on a 360.

    Ep2 is a PC game with tweaks for the PC (if you've got the memory to run it) and it's silly to expect a PC game to look like a console game and vice versa.

    what exactly is amazing about the artwork? It's just boring bland tiling textures on pretty bland standard geometry. It's the lighting and athmosphere that makes it look pretty ok. But it can be ALOT better! I mean insurgency looks way better than this imo.

    INS is also built for the PC and horribly optimised in areas, not to mention INS is an MP game with small maps.

    I would like to see it ingame before I make my final call, the lighting definitely also has a role in this, but despite INS looking great already, this looks better to me. It might be the particles that INS is lacking mostly, or the textures that look very sharp and detailed. Maybe higher res? I think the characters and 1st person weapons look superior as well.

    Again we are comparing a retail product with a MOD here, but I wouldn't say INS looks better.

    [HP]: I noticed that too.Anyway, I think your screenshots look shit hot h2o, dunno what you're complaining about!

    It looks ok, but i think COD2 looked better (the ones i remembered) The ground is flat with no shadows from the bodies (4th pic) and well the lighting isn't that good, still MP beta on xbox 360 is ace and I will get this game no matter what, I just wonder if I shall go for PC or 360 version, (prolly 360 cause It's funnier with MP there I think, still PC version is cheaper)

    I thought it was really fun, and you don't need a super computer to play it. I can play all maxed on 1280x1024 with pretty much perfect framerate, at a few times it dropped, but I can lower in the future if needed. Very fun I think! I will be buying full.
