Modern Warfare and Halo 3 Still Not Quite Feeling This 'HD era'

Posted by Drew Robbins on 08.01.2009

Two of fall's biggest Xbox 360 releases still seem to be missing something in the graphics department.



I think we can all agree that Modern Warfare was a very good looking game, as was Halo 3, but you know, something wasn't there. Even with all of this hype around HD visuals this generation, Modern Warfare and Halo 3 still weren't achieving anything around the 1080p visuals that many crave on the Xbox 360. In fact, neither even reached 720p, a pretty standard achievement these days.

The first Modern Warfare netted somewhere around 600p visuals, and those expecting any better will be sorely disappointed to find out that the sequel be in the same ballpark. Same goes for Halo 3 ODST, sticking to similar resolutions found in Halo 3.

Of course, you have to consider Modern Warfare 2 is aiming for 60 Frames-per-second, something most other games fail to achieve in their attempt at jaw-dropping visuals.

In light of this announcement, Infinity Ward would like to remind everyone that this game is still going to be awesome.
