The only thing i get from this is:
1. They were targeting 1080/60
2. Next article they are not specifically stating resolution.. just that it looks great.
To me it sounds like they were originally trying to do it at that level and they haven't, as why wouldn't you say, its running/looking great. It's an easy win imho.. if you have a benefit you shout it from the roof tops. If someone questions your game, you can easily put that negativity down. "What are you on about our game is running at 1080p and it looks glorious"… gamers are so critical these days, putting down the negativity is easy if it's true… no one keeps quiet about positives.
Now in terms of Neogaf… some stuff they post is pretty spot on… the only one i would say is risky (in terms of what they are suggesting) would be Titanfall because its not out till next year, so they have time to improve it… but do i think that COD is not running at 1080p… yes, I believe that.
