The latest episode of GTTV was a Call of Duty: Black Ops special. Usually before any footage from a big budget title is released, it is scrutinized by several people before it is deemed viewable by the consuming masses. However, it looks like these clipping issues passed many of the marketing team and the developers by.

Sergeant Woods, to the right of the image is sitting in the passenger side of the jeep and you can see how the back of his clothes seem to clip into the 3D mesh of the car seat. In the shot below its only clipping a little but. Click to enlarge images.

As the footage continues it gets progressively worse.

It could be that the new motion capture systems seen in movies like Avatar and games like Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain have allowed the animators to not check each animation as thoroughly as they used to.

It is important to note that this is still early footage and the game has not yet gone gold, so there is still time for issues such as this to be fixed. Despite these issues, the graphics on the whole look incredible, and this issue will most likely be fixed when the game is released. Still, I hope there aren't more similar instances throughout the story sequences in the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is releasing November 9 2010 on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC and DS.
