Graphics aren’t the major selling points of Modern Warfare 3

4.5
According to Robert Bowling, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 isn't all about flashy graphics. It's as much about the visual fidelity of the game as it is the excellent sound and lighting claims the creative strategist for Infinity Ward. Bowling explained the team's objectives when developing a new Modern Warfare game, and apparently, they focus just as much on delivering a well rounded experience in often over-looked areas of the game.

"How can we add more to the experience? " asked Bowling. It really comes down into adding everything over all, because we're at a point now where you keep building on the visuals." "But really what sells everything is the lighting and proper audio - all these things that add to the immersion and situational awareness that you may not be able to pick out individually, but altogether they add to the experience."

"That's not to presume the graphics at large is not having any improvement." A lot of the tech going into Modern Warfare 3 is allowing us to really maintain that high fidelity in graphics and visuals that you expect." "Now we've brought it out to a whole new scale because now the war has come from the outskirts into the heart of major cities. So you're fighting in these very dense, urban environments that are completely different that what you've seen before."

Don't be childish. Both games will be great. I'm buying both. With that said, you can't say the Battlefield will be the better of the two without playing both. Battlefield 3 could possibly be the Black Ops of the Battlefield series, and that would be an epic fail. Sure, Black Ops sold 25 million copies, but if everyone could have play Black Ops before buying it, then it never would have surpassed MW2. Black Ops was horrible. So, based on the past two Modern Warfare titles, the third installment should be awesome. However, I can guarantee you that Battlefield will not out sell MW3. For now, it will have to be satisfied with being in second place. Also, if Infinity Ward made another graphics engine for Call of Duty, then Battlefield will be buried in a pile of rubble and long forgotten.

GetFreakyy i forgot, i would much rather have a game with terrible graphics but it would be good because it sounds great!! sarcasm intended


Stupidity intended too?

At no point in this or any other interview has anyone working on MW3 said it has sub par graphics.

They are just saying that instead of being single minded they spend time on all areas of gameplay like audio and lighting for an all round great experience.

If you think that means they would put all that effort in to those areas then just not bother with the graphics then your even thicker than I first thought.

I suggest you read it again. Also think next time you post.

Fluxtion That's it! Graphics don't make a game. That's the only thing BF3 fanboys have.
Wrong!! There is more added to BF3 then just "Graphics", Do some research about whats new in battlefield 3 then other battlefields jackass, and im pretty sure MW3 is going to be the same exact game as the others.
"im pretty sure MW3 is going to be the same exact game as the others." if it wasnt then wtf are they doing. its a trilogy, its meant to be a follow on therefore it should be the same.

I_R_ASSauLT Of course, that's how Crysis 2 basically failed. Modern warfare 3 doesn't need the best graphics, it just needs the best storyline and multiplayer, that makes it sell. Crytek only hoped crysis 2 would sell for graphics, Infinity Ward is smart.


Awww man I LOVED the storyline for Crysis 2, idk what your talking about.

Bullsh** battlefield has way better gameplay than call of duty..when u buy call of duty ur buying an arcade game with horrible spawns and no knowledge of weapons
I couldn't agree more! And don't forget corner campers and lots of modders.
