Modern Warfare 3 Tested, Benchmarked - tech|
| (hx) 03:59 AM CET - Nov,12 2011 | 
The chaps over at Techspot have posted their Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Performance Test. Here's an excerpt:
If you're still intent buying MW3 on PC, you should be able to scrape by with nearly any modern entry-level gaming hardware. The fact that an $80 Radeon HD 6670 can deliver 30fps at 1680x1050, while the obsolete GeForce 9600 GT provides 37fps, really says it all. If you're aiming for 40 frames or better, you'll only need a $120 GTS 450 or $100 HD 6750.
Those that argue the lower-quality graphics are a good thing because games like Battlefield 3 are too demanding confuse me. There's nothing stopping anyone from playing BF3 on budget hardware, they simply need to lower the graphics to MW3 levels and they will receive similar performance. As we found when testing Battlefield 3 recently, the high quality visuals merely allow those with higher-end hardware to enjoy the game even more.
After all, if graphics are irrelevant, why did we ever leave CoD MW2 (not that it really feels like we have) or even the original CoD for that matter. That game was awesome and they could have just kept producing DLC content forever. As a huge fan of the earlier Call of Duty titles I'm disappointed with this latest release as it continues to head in the same direction as Black Ops -- somewhat of a downward spiral, you could say.

Piece of junk, SP ~6 hours ($10/hr?pfft). Scripted to shit. Nice gfx, yep! Cheat infested. Same BS gui as MW2, no browser consolized hunk of shit. That sums it up for PC anyway.
Do yourself a favour, just forget this was ever released or go buy it on console. |

:wink: |

| Tom | (06:38 PM CET - Nov,12 2011 ) | | BF3 is miles better than this MW3 crap. BF3 is a PC game this is a consolized hunk of shit. |

The gfx in BF3 and MW3 were always doable years ago. BF3 is not a new engine, it's the same engine just bug fixed and cosmetically improved. The 6 million copies of MW3 was 99% console. |

On that, I agree and I'd like to add:
You don't need a new engine to make a game more fun. |

| Baconnaise | (02:11 PM CET - Nov,13 2011 ) | Look at EvE Online. First MMO maybe even game on DX9 and it was gorgeous in beta and still is even after the updates. Guild Wars was another one that looked great years later. GW I think was unreal not sure what iteration if any. CCP with EvE just did amazing things on their own pretty much.
It seems to be more about the work put into it along with some care just like building something with wood etc and you can make it sturdy and perhaps last years :). |
