Forums - Gaming Discussion - Graphics War: Modern Warfare 2 vs Bad Company 2

BFBC2 sports a brand new engine not the same MW engine which MW2 uses. ALL of the screens for MW2 are CG screens from the intro most of the ones for BC2 are. With exceptions of the following
8, and 2 which are in the moments videos.

MW2 after watching real game footage, and experiencing it. Has what you would call flat billboard textures for buildings, and inanimate objects. MW2 also has a lack of AA leaving some very jagged edges. (for console) BC2 which is being sported on the PS3 takes great use of the AA, and also uses detailed textures which have full depth to everything except the ground, and rubble pile from what i have seen. Watch the most recent game play video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ9fTM-bC9Y&feature=player_embedded
it really shows off the engine, and this is on the PS3 imagine Dx11 support on the PC. (also keep in note all consoles are limited to DX9.0c. MW2 still only uses Dx9 while BC2 looks to be using 10.0/1-11)

if you go back through the videos its easy to tell the differences run them side to side it almost punches you in the face. both games are good game except the PC users for MW2 got shafted :/ , but still they are both 2 different games with 2 different play styles. MW2 more run and gun BC2 will be more of a team slower based game as both franchises have always sported

BC looks better, when this game will come out?



Bullshot war. Both games look like shit compared to those pics.


BC2 is probably the worst jagged mess I've ever seen on ps3.

MW2 is just plain fugly on some levels.


Having played MW2 and BC2's beta, gonna say that BC2 looks abit more realistic. Still though, both games can be a major eyesore at times.

I must say though, MW2 looks very nice on Afghan and Underpass - it's all in the lighting.

Since BF:BC2 is about to come out, now it is a fair comparison.

Personally I think that BC2 destroys MW2 on the graphics front...and pretty much everything else that MW2 throws at it.



  Kinect! who needs video games!

I think on graphics BF:BC2 is a bit better but after playing the demo and online MW2 is more fun and the gameplay is much more fast paced and better

BC2 looks better plus it has the authentic NIHL and none of that fake stuff MW2 uses. The comms sound authentic to. However, they got at least 1 thing wrong logo wise: reg ops don't wear balaclavas. Spec ops only usually.
