Meaning PS3 owners won't be able to play it. Let's hope they release a 1080p patch so you guys can enjoy it like the rest of us gameplay>resolution gamers.

It's understandable though. Playing FPS games with a 10 year old controller design whose triggers makes you feel as if you have hoofs instead of hands leaves little joy to be had other than watching the pretty graphics.

I dont want to hear any sh1t about this being sub-HD. Its the smoothest running FPS there is running at 60 FPS.

I just want to know, since TVs now top at 1080 i/p, why is everything being rendered at a lower res? If it's advertised that a game is presented at 720p/1080i/p, then that should be what it is and not something WAAAY lower. I understand if it takes up more storage space on disk, but is there any other reasons for it? Why are these new games coming out under 720p/1080i? And on top of that, who are these people that keep spouting these tidbits of resolutions, and how are they even able to figure it out? I know the whole ??x?? thing, but just staring at my own TV (40" 1080p Insignia) I can't figure that out. How do these people "find"/figure out the missing pixels/ sub-HD quality?

thats not even 720p?! Well, like above, glad they have 60fps. It better be solid though cuz thats what makes COD so great; gameplay.

I like how it's a higher RRP than other games, but can't even run in HD.

Eh, just like COD4, seems I was right, MW2 will be just a slight improvement, if any, over the orignal MW.. :/

a true 720p with a 30FPS or 600p with 60FPS hmmmm...

woah it still looks good ... 60 fps man ... thats the key

Say it ain't so. We are so caught up in specs now that it's sad.

Disappointing, but if it means 60fps, so be it.

Why pay the same price for a sub quality game. Starting to wonder what improvements are being made over CoD4 (which i liked)
Rental for me

600p? BIG FAIL, it will look like poo on my 1080p capable TV. 60fps? why does it need it? is COD a racing game?

I think COd:MW2 is not up to current standards, technically inferior game with twitchy gameplay. Passing on this one easily. Looking forward to MAG.

Its a combination of both at the end of the day. and if you can pull both off the better.

not so great graphics and great framerate on a fast action game? acceptable. (COD series)

not so great graphics and a terrible framerate on a fast action game?? not acceptable. (Damnation)

great graphics and great framerate on a fast action game? Ideal (killzone 2)

This game could've been done on last gen systems (and in some cases it is since it will be appearing on the 360). I guess they added those cheap quality NVGs to try and make up for their sub-HD game. I don't see why this game isn't on the Wii as I'm sure the Wii would be able to handle it too.

Don't care just release the game already :)

If this news was about any other game being 600p people would have burnt the developers in hell...

prolly a comprise for more content on the disc....lower the res more game..ill be happy plying it on my 360

Is this all being based on the YouTube video? If so you can't justify a games resolution on a video which has been compressed.

i wouldnt care ither,but it is supposed to be hd. and isnt that wrong advertisement. next,can we get rid of jaggies lol. id rather have jaggie free edges then some fancey lighting

I love how the same people who rave about COD4 looking fantastic are complaining that MW2 will be rendered at 600p. News flash COD4 also runs at 600p and wait for it..........Halo 3 ran around the same. Please quit crying. If the game plays great and looks good who really cares?

i'll forgive it for the sub-HD, but if I get even a whiff of a "connection interrupted host left the game" i'm trading it in, we shouldn't be subjected to that in any game let alone one of this calibre.

I'll be playing COD:MW2 at 2560 x 1600 at like 90 FPS. Booyah

If this was Killzone 2 it would be Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Suck it PS3 fanboys!!!!!!

That's 1p / $.

Thats why you buy games for PC.

1080P (1920X1080)

Beats consoles ugly look big time.

Resolution and graphics are 2 entirely different things. TT^TT sad how stupid the gaming community is these days.

Doesn't matter to me as COD4 looked badass on 600p. Infinity Ward knows how to work sub HD reso's and still look insanely great.

And it was expected seen it uses the COD4 engine on steroids. Its made to work on 600p...

But PS3 fans won't play this game as its not 720p. At least thats what I always hear them saying about Halo 3. But whats up with GTAIV on the PS3 then on 640p?

Only on "DVD CAPABLE 360°C MINI-FURNACE" with an integrated "Wustel Grill"

I don't care. I will play this game at over 2000p with 100+ FPS.

PC FTW!

this drives me crazy how the controller is a issue. this has never been a issue on the ps1 ps2 but now the same controller that has been being used for years is a problem. i was talking to my guy on the phone today and i pointed out that its inhis head and he sound like a idiot. i told him when we played ps1 and ps2 their was never a controller issue but now theirs a issue.please a bunch of garbage. the trigger button on the bottom arent usually used for shooter anyway its usually the r1 button.

Real gamers don't care about resolution, they care about gameplay and overall quality which Modern Warfare 2 looks to have. So I will buy either way.

i don't really care about resolution but i was hoping for more of an improvement on COD4's graphics. they were decent for 07 but considering how great games like gear, uncharted, and killzone 2 look like i was hoping MW2 would look a little bit better. no that big of a deal to me as MW2 will own gameplay wise

I thought we were on the HD gaming generation

That sucks, but its still going to be fun to play. I wonder whats stopping them to just make it 720p? I don't think frame rate issues would be the problem?

BEcause of the PS3s bad hardware the game must run on 600p to look equal on both systems:/.

Damn, why des the PSrd always needs 3 years dev time for a game to look good.

I have no problem with either controller why is this even being discussed? Stupid fanbois on both sides your all idiots. The rez is the same as the last one which is fine with me.

Some people have confused the HD era with Ture HD consoles. The movies that will play on PS3 and Xbox they will be HD but consoles are still along way of having games like COD running at the full 1080p proper resultion. It takes a beast of a PC to do that and thats what console has to push towards.

lol 360 idiots have low resolution.the pc kings play the highest,and the cosole fans always say that getting a good pc is hard

i dont care about all that just bring us some more of those beautiful gameplay videos

Any time of the day.. The motion feels much more natural at 60fps.

Lol at the tool who Disagree'd with my previous comment, go outside.

600p is not sub-HD. Anything higher than 525 lines of resolution is considered High Definition.

Resolution is important especially for people with larger HDTV's. I know I for one can definatly notice on my 46" TV. For example when i used to play my Wii it looked absolutly horrible even when using the component cables at 480p resolution. I can also notice a substantial difference between a 720p broadcast on Directv and a 1080i or 1080p source. So just beacause you dont have a TV capable of you noticing the differences in resolution, please dont tell everyone else that it doesent matter because its simply not true.

Note: There is no excuse why such a high profile developer and publisher cannot get this game at least running properly at 720p on either console.

this fits well with the bots since their console is a sub par HD console. Now watch them defend MWF2 like its a x360 exclusive because they don't have any games left this year.

i thought this was suppose to be a HD gaming era.

dont care will still buy

Looks good either way, despite being a yearly game...

jeez look at soda and mart going into fanboy overdrive they couldn't be anymore biased on ps3.

The controller is crap and small *cry* it doesn't hurt your hands i've played for a good 6 hours+ and had no pain what so ever maybe you have deformed hands and the triggers are fine better than those cheap 360 ones you can hack and make shooting faster.

Everyone has there preferred controller imo 360's controller felt too big in my hands the ps3 one is abit small but fits right for me but why should you care its at 600p the game will sell and you'll still buy it without knowing its in 600p

and soda stop b1tching about ps3 games we have much more ps3 games this year coming out than 360 and exclusive you seem a bit jealous tbh

yes halo ODST will probably sell more than most ps3 games as the install base is huge they are even doing halo ODST posters now bungie are milking halo, grapics and gameplay wise halo wont beat a good exclusive like U2 halo lives off rep thats it and thats a fact as when up against PS2/3 games it never beats them ps2/3 games win the awards

And people where saying that the graphics were going to challenge Killzone 2. This game still isn't 720p...this is crazy. What has Infinitey Ward been doing over these 2 years or treyarch for that matter? They don't want to improve the resolution of the engine or what. The frame rate shouldn't be an issue too because there are plenty of games that run at 720/60fps and look damn good.

I'll be enjoying MW2 at 1200p on my PC! :D

MW1 looked and played great on ym hd tv and MW2 will look a lil better and play a lil better . Im happy

let the cod hate begin

I have all the COD games on PC and i'll be picking this one up on PC as well... If you want really high res you shouldn't be playing on a console.

I thought it said 600FPS, But in the end its still as trivial.

FACT
Game plays better, responds better, is better.
Too many modern gen games have crap frame rate. (30fps) And even with that, they have tearing or slowdown.
I salute IW for going for 100% smooth. Just like Nintendo used to do, that's what made their games great to play.

This blows. IW get your crap together and make a HD game.

with this mw1 did not disappoint mw2 will not ether

Graphics do matter a lot. In my opinion it's like 2/3 gameplay 1/3 graphics. If the graphics aren't that good, but the gameplay is then you'll probably play it through. If the graphics are amazing but the gameplay sucks you probably won't. Still, graphics are a very important part of the gaming experience. If all you care about is gameplay buy a wii. HD consoles are SUPPOSED to have great graphics (otherwise why would you upgrade from PS2 to PS3 or Xbox to 360).

so? 2 best selling games this gen are sub HD resolutions. Lol COD-600P and Halo 3-640P= 15 million in sales?

idc it will still be more fun than other fps games out.

both wud b better ,sumtimes happens 2 wahoo!the fools who said graphics ova gameplay please! ok u go on a crap. game that looks good and is unplayable, gs,ha well cant force common sense on people.;)?

i got next gen consoles cough n funilly enuf i want gud gameplay,graphics r sweet but u just want pretty go the cinema!

Halo3 640p

I won't be getting it.

Im gonna say it.

KILLZONE 2

If graphics dont matter, why upgrade from a ps2, why buy a HDTV?

Yeah.

Thought so.

MW2 is still gonna be great, no doubt, but come on. Can we stop the "ps3 fails" news articles? Cell is obviously doing something right if, with such an "obsolete" graphics card it can pull off something like KZ2 HALF A YEAR AGO which is so far beyond anything its main competitor can achieve.

PS3. Just buy one and grow the f*** up.

I honestly do not see what the big deal about this is. We never complained about cod4 having bad graphics, so why are we all of a sudden bashing modern warfare 2's graphics, when it looks amazing in the trailers.

Rather disappointing.

If it was exclusive it could have run better on either.

So your telling me that with all that money they made off of all of those games including CODMW and a few of their other top games. They couldn't have invested in making another game engine just for this game.
That could of ran it at a higher resolutions, including pushing out 60 frames per second or better. Yes the "GAMEPLAY" looks good and I'm going to get it "JUST FOR MP", but I do think that this game was intended for DLC first before it got bigger than expected. I believe it started out as DLC and received a good amount of content in it and then it had gotten switched into a full game.(in my opinion which I think is highly likely) That to me would explain the reason for the same old engine, and the news where they say they found out how to make the maps bigger I don't buy that. The SP boards were set up as linear paths with leg room, to follow the story like GRAW, all so common. But who's to say what justifies a full games price? Only the people who buy it and supports it. To make a long story short. I think the author was trying to point out, we are paying for something less than what was suppose to be a standard. Pushing the game for the best look and gameplay. Why can't you go 1080p? I thought both systems were strong enough to push out hi res with good frame rate? Gameplay is not the only reason we picked up a 360 or a PS3. Some games companies are putting out a lot of games that could as well be put on a regular xbox and ps2. So why are we still paying 64 dollars for a games then if they are not of standard, HI DEF STANDARD! So as long as we keep paying for sub par games the more they will keep re skinning old tech and selling it to us. So when something new comes out that they've had already, they will charge us even more for it. The new generation of console games were all supposed to be in ground breaking CONSOLE visuals, with fast processing power, and better multi player ability. What happened to the push for true HD 1080P in gaming. Was that not one of the BIGGEST reasons and the biggest selling point of each system HYPE? Now look what your saying! It'S going to plays well so I don't care, then why the 300 to 400 dollar up grade from a system and games that played well too? JUST MY OPINION but think about it what your paying for. Then at that I have all the systems and a 3,100 dollar pc I play everything on max on at 1920x1200. But I think it still matters, only because of what they are doing is sub par, if it did't start out DLC and still charging full price.
