CoD2 Screens

Holy bloody lack of AA. They could be so much more, but they just look plain ugly right now.

Edit: A few have AA enabled, and they look gorgeous as a result of it. There are some pretty blurred textures, though.
 
The smoke effect looks really realisitic, which may not be a good thing as it may not blend with the other graphics as well. Looking nice though! (And even better with some AA :p)
 
hmmm... hopefully they fix the bloom, beyond that, with a little AA looks pretty damn fine, so long as the gameplay is better than COD's - needs less arcadey, more realistic
 
Hmm, the shadows look a bit pixelated, why don't they just use precompiled lightmaps or real dynamic lighting instead of what seems to be those weird stencil shadows...
I definately prefer HL2's graphics over these.
 
Its Call of duty, I dont care if the gfx are better then the first game or not, the gfx was not what made the game.

is AA the thing that gets rid of the jagged edges?
 
Mmm, nice smoke. But just looks like another expansion. Spose they stick call of duty 2 on it and ask for another £40. Still keep an eye on it though enjoyed the first one :)
 
The textures on there don't look to great on the indoor levels. If you have a graphics program open it up and resize the images down to 800x600 or so. This is the same as turning on high quality AA and gives you a much better quality picture.

Other than that the outdoor levels look amazing.
 
very nice, but doesn't outperforme BF2 in my opinion.
 
Doesn't look too hot. The UT2004 engine could pull off most of those shots. Unless that's what it's using ;)
 
Since when did 2004 use normals? :P

Looks purty, shame their not using real HDR and going for bloom tho'
 
It looks great, interms of gameplay. Interms of graphics, it looks like a minor improvement over the original, with the addition of clipping problems.

if you want minimal specs of p4 3ghz, 1 gig ram, and a direct x9 graphics card then yeah.. LOL

you have to wait untill the high end specas now are lowend before you see HDR used in games on a regular base
 
Not up to HL2 in terms of graphics, but it still looks amazing.

The gameplay will of course be top notch too.
 
anyway, it looks great imo, anyway It will look alot better animated and all, so. no worries, and hell, the first hl2 screens looked shit also, so

hl2 screens still look like shit.
I'm just kidding.
CoD2 looks like shit also. "Bloom."
 
Stern has some 'splaining to do :burp:

Pretty bad shadowing though, shadowmaps shouldn't be sharp.
 
I admit I could be wrong :eek: ...still looks too realistic but what the hell do I know? (politics, social issues, stuff)
 
They should have lowered Res, turned on AA/AF and it would look much better!

It looks up to par is what I'm saying :D AI is the best part I hear :)

I guess I'll find out not too long from now.
Oh and this is their first engine completely done from scratch (physics are Havok though I believe?) so there is a huge learning process, and they naturally have to make all the tools and such to go with it, I'll wait until I get video until I decide, screens only capture one frame of just hundreds of frames a minute, so in motion it will look better.
